Ava Breeze Bustling to Make Worthy Changes
Ava Breeze Bustling to Make Worthy Changes

Ava Breeze is not your common teenager. At just the age of fourteen, she has done more impact than an average high-school student. Besides being a high honor student, she is also a singer, actress, model, influencer, and best of all, an advocate for anti-bullying because of her sister with a rare disease (DHX-30). Despite Covid turning the world upside down, it has not stopped the multitalented teen from pursuing her passion. She has been spending her time in the studio recording her first single, Girls of Summer, which was released early this summer on top of preparing to film a streaming series, Irreverand. Breeze is currently one of the youngest ambassadors for Pure Vida to raise funds to support the research on DHX-30. Check out our interview below to find out more about Breeze’s experiences as Jejune walkthrough on each of her creative realms and DHX-30.

AIRPORTS on Creativity and Mental Health during Isolation
AIRPORTS on Creativity and Mental Health during Isolation

Mental health, historically, exists in an undefinable facet of art. Pioneers like Edvard Munch and Georgia O' Keeffe coped through a shared legacy of art via mental illness and inspiration. Singer-songwriter AIRPORTS released his new single “U Feel It 2;” a track that induces optimism or sorrow, directly dependent on individual analysis and interpretation. The Australian artist discusses his battle with Aplastic Anaemia and Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), and how it influenced his music as a healing and beneficial motivator. He chronicles his battle with mental health and depression, most notably his hospitalization, and now during the COVID isolation. Be sure to watch AIRPORTS “U Feel It 2” music video for some positivity during quarantine, and please read our exclusive interview to learn more about AIRPORTS.

Denell Nawrocki: Holistic Healing & HPV
Denell Nawrocki: Holistic Healing & HPV

While modern medicine presents qualities both miraculous and restrained in nature, there is more that can be done. Preventative and holistic medicine often takes a backseat in our heavy science and drug based culture. It often feels like why heal or prevent, when we can make more money by treating. Denell Barbara Nawrocki, MA, a guide, speaker, and specializing in Women's wellness and Earth-based health, is on the side of using natural and preventative measures and, it seems, she is on the right path! After having a run in with HPV, she learned how important self care and natural methods could be in helping her regain her health. She received her MA in Integrative Health Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), and a BA in History from UC Davis. Denell has done extensive study in the fields of health, healing, personal transformation, indigenous wisdom, plant medicine and history, which can be seen in her latest book “Informed, Aware, Empowered: A Self-Guided Journey to Clear Paps”. Please read our exclusive interview here to learn more about Denell Nawrocki, and her journey with HPV. ​
