KELLY GREEN

Kelly spent 15 yrs as a marketing executive in the entertainment industry. During that time she marketed/ promoted recording artists from obscure unknowns to popular household names. Many of them received Grammy Awards and multi-platinum status. In 2005 it all came to an end, when the debilitating effects of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) became too much to manage in the fast paced, stressful world of entertainment. Kelly recently launched The Abilities WORKS! Project (AWP). The AWP is dedicated to promoting entrepreneurship, career advancement and workforce development for people with disabilities; and of course, building their personal brand. As someone living with Multiple Sclerosis and as an entrepreneur, she knows first hand the challenges that are faced and the resources needed to overcome those challenges. Kelly’s very first live event, an Economic Employment Empowerment Summit, took place in Atlanta to commemorate National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The Summit was also put together to benefit care partners and family members of people with disabilities. Kelly has another company, Insider Branding Secrets, which empowers passionate but struggling solo service entrepreneurs to build powerful brands, develop magnetic, compelling marketing messages, identify that ideal target audience, attract more clients, more visibility & more money. Using the Insider Branding Secrets she's learned after yrs of marketing success, Kelly is able to provide the effective tools and easy-to-implement strategies to increase visibility and income. Some of the artists Kelly has worked with include Mary J. Blige, P.Diddy, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Queen Latifah. In an attempt to find alternative ways of treating MS, Kelly was introduced to a health  wellness coach and got hooked. She decided to get certified as a wellness coach and begin a new career that she blends with her branding company.

SANURA

Sanura is a Vocalist, Model, and Actress hailing from Virginia Beach, VA. She was born in Brooklyn, NY on August 13, and music has been a huge part of her life ever since. Growing up, she was exposed to all genres, and at the tender age of six discovered her own vocal and writing ability. A few years later she began recording music with a local producer. 

  In mid 2008, after posting her first demo to Myspace, Sanura was contacted by NJ based producer Cito on the Beat to record a full length project. She rose to the occasion and in a mere 5 days, the duo wrote, produced, and recorded her independent debut, "Ultimate Accessory,"  in a tiny room in Cito's apartment. 

  Upon its completion, Sanura returned to VA and took the album to the streets. Through word of mouth alone, she and her father eventually sold thousands of copies of the album within months. In 2011, she released her second indie LP, "The Green Room," with New York based Hip-Hop producers, A Lost People. With these projects, Sanura began to garner an overwhelming amount of local buzz and started working in other areas of entertainment. From modeling for clothing lines and fashion shows to landing a supporting role in her first independent feature film, it became clear that the songbird was a triple threat in the making.

   In late 2012, Sanura moved to NYC to take her career to the next level. She has since landed major modeling gigs with B.E.T. Networks, Urban Ink Magazine, Miss Jessie's Natural Hair Care Products, and many more. 

  Sanura released her third project, "View From The Q," in mid 2013. Co-written and composed with Hungarian producer Kata Kozma, the six song project received 95% of its funding through the popular fan site, Kickstarter.com. The album is based around true events and serves as the chronicle of a young artist's evolution; Spiritually, Mentally, and Musically.
