Queen Esther Spivey

Queen Esther Spivey

What began in 2014 on YouTube as "QueenSheeMee" Discovering your inner Queen, Who is Shee, Within Mee, a video documentation journey of Queen Esther Spivey's self care & self love journey quickly grew as a community of black men & women learning how to care for their own natural beauty, lifestyle, and wellness as little information was shared during that time period on social media. From demos, reviews, unboxings, and daily vlogs grew the demand for Queen Esther to offer Natural Hair Services, in person, which lead her to return to college for Cosmetology, and eventually the birth of "Touched By Queen Esther" in 2018 as a full service salon in the NW FL (Panhandle) Area.

A published licensed master cosmetologist, barber, and instructor in the state of Georgia, Contressa is a serial entrepreneur and a mogul in the beauty industry. While working for companies such as the very popular Regis Corporation, Contressa has earned a reputation in the beauty industry and is a member of the Professional Beauty Association.

With over 25 years under her belt, Contressa teaches for the Georgia Department of Education and for the Technical College System of Georgia. "As a high school educator, teaching the cosmetology pathway is a great way for students to not only get a jump start on earning college credits but also a great opportunity for students to gain knowledge and hands-on experience. Students graduate from high school with a certificate(s), diploma, and/or an associate’s degree that allows them to go straight into their career field.

"Teaching post-secondary education allows me to prep students for their state board licensure exams and teach them the rules and regulations of their state. My number one priority is building their confidence, pushing them to their highest potential, and helping them accomplish their goals. I’ve served as a judge and advisor for Georgia’s SkillsUSA Cosmetology for the past two years. By having experience in both areas, I can properly train students for regional, state, and national competitions."

Contressa is the founder and CEO of Noble Glam Hair Collection LLC, an e-commerce beauty supply store that services customers worldwide. She is also the founder of REVILO Gives, Inc., a nonprofit organization that bridges the gap between beauty and wellness and shares helpful articles for men and women to spread awareness on ways to increase inward health, leading to longer outward beauty.

Biographie de Louis Bertson

Louis Bertson est né le 21 Juin 1998 dans la ville de Yako, au Burkina Faso. Dès son jeune âge, il a montré un intérêt vif pour la découverte et l'apprentissage.

Il a commencé son parcours éducatif à l'école primaire Petit Samba Yako, où il a jeté les bases solides de son éducation de base de 2003 à 2010. Durant ces années, Louis a démontré sa curiosité et sa passion pour l'apprentissage.

En 2011, il a poursuivi ses études au Petit Séminaire de Koudougou pour son éducation secondaire, où il a continué à exceller tout en développant ses compétences interpersonnelles et ses intérêts artistiques.

C'est pendant ses années d'école secondaire que Louis a découvert sa passion pour la musique et a commencé à apprendre le piano. De 2016 à 2019, il a consacré une partie de son temps à maîtriser cet instrument, explorant les nuances de la musique et développant son sens artistique.

Cependant, sa passion pour la technologie et le développement web l'a finalement conduit à abandonner le piano pour se plonger entièrement dans l'apprentissage de la programmation. Fasciné par le potentiel infini de la technologie, Louis a décidé de devenir autodidacte en JavaScript à temps plein à partir de 2016.

Son dévouement et sa persévérance l'ont rapidement propulsé vers de nouveaux horizons. En 2020, Louis a intégré la prestigieuse école Simplon à Ouagadougou pour approfondir ses compétences en développement web.

Sa carrière professionnelle a pris son envol lorsqu'il a intégré l'équipe de Switch Maker pour un stage de quatre mois, où il a acquis une expérience précieuse dans le domaine du développement web. Par la suite, il a rejoint Afric Consulting Group, où il a travaillé pendant plus d'un an, contribuant à divers projets innovants.

En quête de défis plus stimulants, Louis a ensuite rejoint Total.js en Slovaquie, où il a passé deux ans à perfectionner ses compétences et à explorer de nouvelles technologies dans le domaine du développement web.

Récemment, Louis s'est tourné vers le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle, où il explore les frontières de la technologie et cherche à apporter des innovations significatives dans ce domaine en constante évolution.

À travers son parcours, Louis Bertson incarne la détermination, la passion et la recherche incessante de connaissances. Il reste un exemple inspirant pour tous ceux qui aspirent à repousser les limites de leurs capacités et à créer un impact positif dans le monde de la technologie.

I have a lifetime of great experience as a serial innovator riding waves from scrappy startups of companies, academic centers, not-for-profits, and a government agency to the New York Stock Exchange.

I co-founded Capital Insights, which became one of the country’s largest angel groups. I was Chairman of Earth Fare, which grew into the country’s largest regional organic grocery chain.

As Vice President of Strategy at KEMET, I was the point person with Wall Street analysts during the chaos of the 2000 internet tsunami. I was the architect of InnoVenture and InnoMobility conferences, with anchors including Michelin, Milliken, Sealed Air, GE, Blue Cross, and others.

I've been on SC Public Radio for two decades. My community leadership has included being a founding board member of Artisphere, a nationally acclaimed arts festival, and the SC Venture Capital Authority, a pioneering agency promoting venture capital, and being part of the community conversation leading to CU-ICAR.
