I'm interested in talking about how hard it was for me going from a straight size model to a plus size model. Gaining the weight, the drop in self esteem, the body change.

Learning to love myself the way that I am as an older model was a challenge. I would like to talk about how I haven't gotten any plastic surgery work done yet and how I would like to eventually get some things fixed i.e. an eye lift, liposuction etc. I would like to talk about how I would like to scout new brands for POSHGLAM.com and be more involved in the fashion industry globally.

Kidnapped By Her Paranoid Schizophrenic Mother; One Woman's Story of Turning A Life Of Tragedy Into a Life of Endless Impact Intv. Avail.

I wanted to reach out about a story almost too crazy to believe, a story that challenges those who hear it to ask themselves if she went through all of that and still has hope, what does that mean for me?

Eliza VanCort has lived a life that feels as though it were scripted for a made-for-tv movie. Her mother suffered immensely from mental health struggles and was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. In an exclusive story with People Magazine, Eliza describes being kidnapped by her mother, who, before her diagnosis, was described as “devoted and loving.” A scheduled visitation with her mother suddenly took a turn for the worst when the visit turned into a case of kidnapping. This ordeal included tragic accounts of not having enough food, hitchhiking, and Eliza witnessing the rape of her mother. During the rape, Eliza recalls her mother saying "'Eliza, whatever you do, do not come back here. Whatever you hear, do not come back here.' During the extensive kidnapping, Eliza said she learned many lessons, including the idea that "You have to be as quiet and small as you possibly can, if you want to survive," a situation like this.

It would be easy to condemn her mother’s actions, but through kindness and forgiveness, Eliza healed her generational wounds. 

Eliza was eventually reunited with her father, who, upon settling in New York, enlisted the help of women in the community to raise his young daughter. It would have been easy for these women to ignore the little girl with the tragic backstory or shun the family wanting to stay away from issues of mental instability and domestic disputes. Still, these women chose to engage in acts of kindness and compassion. 

In an interview, Eliza can recount the order of events that lead to her once idyllic childhood turning into a string of traumatizing events at the hands of an unstable mother suffering from untreated mental illness, and how she learned to turn this time of trauma into a catalyst for changing the lives of others. 

Now as an author and speaker, and widely popular Tik Tok star, Eliza strives to empower others to claim the space waiting to be filled by their talent and challenges people to respond to others with kindness, compassion, and genuine care. 

If you are interested in scheduling an interview, please let me know, as I am happy to coordinate. Please see more about Eliza below.

​​Why Hiring BIPOC Employees Is Not The Same As Valuing Their Contributions

While many companies are striving to diversify their employee pool, by hiring BIPOC, LGBTQ, and other historically oppressed or ignored populations, it is what happens after employment that matters. Simply hiring a diverse workforce does not mean the opinions, ideas, talents, and strengths of each employee are equally valued. Checking a box to ensure diversity does not equate to equal workforce representation or practices. DEI strategies in the workplace go beyond the idea of diversity, teaching companies to build in policies and frameworks within their operational procedures to ensure equity and inclusion as well.

When we break this concept of diverse hiring and how it lacks widespread corporate inclusion down further by specific populations, we see the deeper nuanced indications that these historically ignored populations are still not seen as equals in the workplace. For instance, Black women make up 7.4% of the U.S. population, yet hold less than 2% of VP roles and just over 1% of C-suite roles. Data also shows that one in four transgender people have lost a job due to discrimination, and three-fourths have experienced discrimination or bias in the workplace.

Employers and companies must look beyond merely employing people from marginalized populations, and must begin to truly see them as valuable contributors to their company's mission and success.

Managers need to know what it takes to create a culture of acceptance, equality, and equal opportunity. This culture comes from the top down and needs to be matriculated into the company's policies and procedures.

While some advancements have been made, the work has just begun to illuminate the discrepancies but has yet to offer remediation. Historically, Affirmative Action has not eliminated gaps in equity in either education or the workforce. There is still work to be done. DEI workplace diversity training first emerged in the mid-1960s following the introduction of equal employment laws and affirmative action, this does not mean that change is not still needed.

Companies are Moving from Great Resignation to Great Retention: How to Motivate Remote Workers By Building A Culture Worth Staying For, Interview with Leadership Expert and Ph.D.

According to the 2021 People Management Report, 48% of employees have thought about quitting in the past 12 months. Companies are trying to avoid falling prey to The Great Resignation by morphing it into The Great Retention. One way companies are striving to keep employees is by offering more flexibility either through job sharing (two part-time employees doing a full-time job) or allowing employees to continue remote work. A recent survey suggested that over 60% of remote workers view working from home as a positive experience. Yet as with most good things there are downsides as well. A separate study listed the following struggles that remote workers find themselves facing including:

-Saying they are unable to separate work life from personal life

-Battling loneliness 

-Struggling with communication between colleagues

-Not understanding workplace culture

-Working longer hours and feeling undervalued

Dr. Wayne Pernell, a leadership expert with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology devotes his career to helping leaders achieve not only personal success, but to motivate those they lead as well. A good leader is nothing without the support of those they influence. He says that “It is more important than ever for leaders to recognize why people lose motivation and how leaders can get them re-engaged.” While a remote position may offer the flexibility many employees crave it can cause fear of missing out on opportunities for promotion, collaboration, workplace politics, and even workplace fun.

“Dr. P” was just named one of The Top Motivational Speakers To Follow in 2022 In an interview Dr. Pernell can share the following tips to help ensure equal engagement for remote and in-office employees:

-Equity: All means all. It can be easy for people who are out of sight to be out of mind as well. Remote workers must be included in group communication. This solidifies them as important members of the team regardless of where their work is being done.

-Equal Consideration: When positions open and employees are considered for promotion, leaders must ensure equal consideration is given to both in-office and remote workers. Consideration should be based on a variety of factors, not just location. 

-Inclusive Social Events: Team-building events and opportunities should include a variety of in-person and virtual options. Plan get-togethers - annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. Build travel and lodging back into your budget so as to be fully inclusive.

-Encourage Equally: Take time each week to publicly acknowledge people's achievements within the organization. Recognition is important for morale.

-Balance autonomy with attention: Giving employees the freedom to work on projects on their own time and that fuel their own interests is a great way to keep up morale. Balance this with checking in to ensure that employees have what they need to complete their tasks and assign specific tasks with intention. Telling someone why you chose them for a specific task gives them a sense of ownership.

-Values-Based Vision: Let your employees know what your company stands for and ensure that these values are put into action daily. Being part of something bigger than themselves helps give people a reason to stay.
