Ronit Herzfeld
"Ambassador of the Heart"
Presenting: Walking through Fear
At this critical time, where there is so much at stake on every level of human existence, Ronit is now compelled to awaken the message of the heart in the masses. Fusing her wisdom with mobile technology, Ronit is pioneering a new kind of neurotechnology: smart phone applications that are designed to rewire and reprogram the human brain to be kinder, more aware, and more peaceful.
Her first iPhone application, AWARENESS, works by intercepting people in their day to day lives with a gentle "gong" sound, and inviting them to check in with themselves by asking: "What Are You Feeling Right Now"? This simple question enables people to pause, become present, and discover how hidden emotions may be affecting them in the moment. It also provides practices to help people manage and release their emotions. It uses neuroscientific principles to actually restructure the user’s brain with repetition over time, resulting in increased happiness and lower stress & anxiety.
Media Recognition:
In the months following its release, the AWARENESS application was enthusiastically received by major media: CNN, USA TODAY, CBS MORNING NEWS, THE OKLAHOMAN.
MEKA KING

Hearing the voice of God as a child, Meka knew she was assigned to “reach the masses.” She became a television news writer and segment producer, thinking that “mass media” was her calling. But the Lord soon proved His true purpose for her life. As Meka made her transition into the music world, the Lord used Praise and Worship to propel her to another level.
Meka toured for nearly 2 years with International Praise and
Worship Leader, Ron Kenoly. As they traveled to the Nations, the Lord continued to develop and prepare her for the call and anointing that He’d placed on her life. Meka soon discovered that something special happened when she sang. The Lord used her to create an atmosphere for change in the lives of His people. As people began to share their testimonies, Meka became sure of her calling to impact the Kingdom.

Cupcakes brought to you by Sweet By Holly, Winner of Cupcake Wars on The Food Network.
A Sweet! Beginning
I grew up in a home that was always filled with the aroma of fresh baked goods wafting through the air and out to the garden, where I put on grand theatrical plays with my childhood friends.
My parents frequently had cocktail and dinner parties for glamorous guests ...entertaining them with sweet and savory delights, fresh flowers from the garden, and Sinatra on the turntable, of course!
It was from this auspicious beginning that I learned how to entertain, and eventually my epicurean interests took me to Europe. Through travel and taste, I taught myself various cuisines, and returned to America with a plan to introduce an uncommon approach of cooking and catering to the masses! Little did I know I'd eventually bake my mark on Hollywood.
