As Vanessa Pollock and I describe it “it’s a Joy bomb!”. Here’s a little about Emily – give her an extra big smile and a high five next time you see her in SOMA she deserves it! Personally I’ll be greeting her with a Dab or perhaps a body roll! Come and clap along – 2pm Spiotta Park, South Orange Sunday 16th February. EMILY REGAS was born in sunny San Diego, CA and moved to New York City to pursue a career as a free-lance dancer. While performing in various modern and tap companies in the city and on tours throughout the country, she discovered the fabulous world of non-profit fundraising and now directs the major gifts program at the United Hospital Fund. Emily is also on the board of the Treehouse Shakers Dance Company and continues to dance with Omega Dance Company. Emily has been married for 12 years to an amazing woman, and they live in South Orange with their two adorable girls.

Her photographic essays include “Peeled Paint” (2014), conveying her understanding of ego and spirituality, and “Embrace Your Essence” (2015), a series focused on young women's journeys toward self-love —defining what they find beautiful about themselves. Many of the narratives included illnesses, challenges to meet Western standards of beauty, and quirks that once negatively affected their self-esteem. Eva continues to use visual narratives to convey a tone of a new, inclusive wave of feminine energy through her gaze as a queer, woman of color, while commenting on the social & cultural conditions of her communities. Raised in SOMa, she attended Columbia High School, and graduated from the University of Maryland–College Park in 2014. https://www.tedxmaplewood.com/speaker-profiles/mohamedsidibay monthly 0.5 2020-01-12 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d9e860bff34916b5d51a3e4/t/5e1aa1df3796b24423095c0b/1578803691140/Social+flyers+01_11_2020_Square+Flyer+M+copy+7.png Speaker Profiles - MOHAMED SIDIBAY - MOHAMED SIDIBAY Mohamed’s story is one of resilience.

A native of Newark, NJ, Keith was a gifted high school football player. He was recruited by the University of Iowa, where he earned a BA in Communications. Keith went on to play with the NFL, signing on as a free agent for the Cleveland Browns. On the field, Keith found metaphors for life that guided and inspired him off the field as well. When his career with the NFL came to a close, he applied his discipline and drive to other endeavors. After over 5 years of coaching college football, he played golf with his colleagues one day, and instantly fell in love with the sport. Keith immersed himself in golf. But becoming a golf pro wasn’t enough… Keith saw gaps in the market, so he founded KGH Enterprises LLC. Through his corporation, he developed golf clinics, opened golf courses, and created a line of golf clothing. He began speaking publicly, and working with student athletes, golfers, and other entrepreneurs. Keith—a father of six girls—knows first-hand how excelling in sports teaches valuable lessons, and leads to opportunities. He saw that young golfers, girls, and women were being overlooked. Not one to accept the status quo, he opened his clinics to students as young as four years old. And he developed a program, supported by corporate sponsorship, that enabled young girls to learn golf. Keith is always looking for the next challenge, and is committed to inspiring and motivating others. https://www.tedxmaplewood.com/speaker-profiles/janerandel monthly 0.5 2020-01-05 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5d9e860bff34916b5d51a3e4/t/5e1249ba61066d7f812af55a/1578256909384/TEDxMaplewood_AllFlyers_ACB_12-24_Square+Flyer+M+copy+3.jpg Speaker Profiles - JANE RANDEL - JANE RANDEL Jane is a Social Impact advisor and co-founder of Karp Randel, a consultancy designed to help corporations, foundations and individuals achieve their business and personal goals while making a positive impact on society.
