Sinem’s photography is the exploration of the human soul through stories of body and fabric harmonizing. <br /><br />She won the silver "Kristal Elma" award in 2017 with her Wepublic campaign photo which is the most prestigious advertising award in Turkey.<br /><br />She’s also the founder of “Model Taste” where she interviews models about their New York stories and experience. <br /><br />www.modeltaste.com<br /><br />Sinem Yazici is currently available for freelance fashion and advertising photography in Istanbul and New York.<br /><br />https://www.sinemyazici.com/<br />https://www.instagram.com/sinemy/<br />https://www.facebook.com/people/Sinem-Yazici-Photography/100031221258863/<br />https://www.linkedin.com/in/sinemyazici/<br />https://www.pinterest.com/SinemYazici/]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>4543</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>advertising,ambitions,dreams,grind,hustle,inspiring,motivational,photography,storytelling</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/b1a2d0417f344f35408785a9691c9739.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>#27 | Cody Bok | Leadership and Managing Adversity</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/27-cody-bok-leadership-and-managing-adversity--52697858</link><description><![CDATA[Limit Break Stories is a Limit Break Media project dedicated to curating insight and inspiration from entrepreneurs, creatives, and limit breakers from around the world.<br /><br />Today our Limit Breaker is Cody Bok.

She was born and raised in Sunnyside, where she and her family live to this day. Johanna’s parents are Colombian immigrants who with the help of our incredible community, raised two daughters who are first-generation Americans. At an early age, Johanna’s mother suffered a serious stroke that left her permanently disabled, and her family's lives were forever changed. Johanna’s mother was in the hospital for three years. As her father worked two jobs to make sure his wife had the care she needed, he leaned on this community to ensure his daughters were cared for. Their community supported her family through volunteer babysitters, food pantries, and after school programs.<br /><br />She has a proven track record of getting results for people who need help - first as Assemblywoman Nolan’s intern and then as her Hispanic community liaison where she helped connect people to the community programs that helped her family when they needed it most.<br /><br />Next in law school where Johanna continued to help individuals in the human rights and immigration clinic filing visas for victims of human trafficking, raising money for local community programs, and working in the tax clinic filing taxes for people with low incomes. After graduation, Johanna worked to get justice for victims of sexual assault and child abuse at the King's County DA's SVU, and helped 9/11 first responders get the medical care they're owed. Even now, as she campaigns, Johanna is representing survivors under the child victim act and children who are victims of abuse.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/50241179</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Jun 2022 18:49:34 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/50241179/johanna_lbs.mp3" length="57657300" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Ronnie Q</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Limit Break Stories is a Limit Break Media project dedicated to promoting and curating inspiring and positive stories. &#13;

Johanna’s parents are Colombian immigrants who with the help of our incredible community, raised two daughters who are first-generation Americans. At an early age, Johanna’s mother suffered a serious stroke that left her permanently disabled, and her family's lives were forever changed. Johanna’s mother was in the hospital for three years. As her father worked two jobs to make sure his wife had the care she needed, he leaned on this community to ensure his daughters were cared for. Their community supported her family through volunteer babysitters, food pantries, and after school programs.<br /><br />She has a proven track record of getting results for people who need help - first as Assemblywoman Nolan’s intern and then as her Hispanic community liaison where she helped connect people to the community programs that helped her family when they needed it most.<br /><br />Next in law school where Johanna continued to help individuals in the human rights and immigration clinic filing visas for victims of human trafficking, raising money for local community programs, and working in the tax clinic filing taxes for people with low incomes. After graduation, Johanna worked to get justice for victims of sexual assault and child abuse at the King's County DA's SVU, and helped 9/11 first responders get the medical care they're owed. Even now, as she campaigns, Johanna is representing survivors under the child victim act and children who are victims of abuse.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3604</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>community,democratic,hispanic,inspiration,inspiring,latina,motivation,politcs,story,storytelling</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/b1a2d0417f344f35408785a9691c9739.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>#013 | Deanna Ibrahim | Psychology, Art, &amp; Storytelling: Youth Development and Social Change</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/013-deanna-ibrahim-psychology-art-storytelling-youth-development-and-social-change--50162621</link><description><![CDATA[Limit Break Stories is a Limit Break Media project dedicated to promoting and curating inspiring and positive stories.

To that end I am also speaking to creatives with different perspectives who are steeped in the art of storytelling in different mediums. <br /><br />Today our Limit Breaker is Ashok Rajamani, an award-winning author, artist, poet, radio host, and speaker from NYC. <br /> <br />He is the survivor of a catastrophic, near-fatal brain hemorrhage at the age of 25. Though surviving, he was left with permanent bisected blindness, epilepsy, distorted hearing, erratic transient amnesia, metal staples in his brain, and ultimately, a carved skull courtesy of open brain surgery. The final consequence of his body's very own 9-11: his first book -- an irreverent and decidedly unconventional memoir about a day that exploded not only his brain, but the world around him, entitled THE DAY MY BRAIN EXPLODED: A TRUE STORY.<br /> <br />The memoir received worldwide acclaim, including raves from Pulitzer Prize Luminary Jane Smiley, Publisher's Weekly, Harper's Magazine, Booklist, The Times of India, Washington Post, The Atlantic Monthly, BBC, and more. He also performed the unabridged audio production of the book, which was called by Dr. Gregory O’Shanick, Medical Director Emeritus of the Brain Injury Association of America, a “groundbreaking masterpiece.”<br /> <br />After the hemorrhage, he emerged as a proud brain injury rights advocate, becoming a board member of the International Brain Injury Survivors Network, Subject Matter Expert (SME) for the Brain Injury Association of America, and guest host on Brain Injury Radio.  <br /><br />Ashok is also an accomplished artist, having studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and School of Visual Arts. His artwork has been submitted and exhibited in galleries and shows such as Greenpoint Gallery, Exit Art New York, and Pancakes & Booze, the nationwide pop-up art tour.<br /><br />He has been a keynote speaker for the International Symposium on Cultural Diplomacy in the United Nations, as well as headliner for events like “Masala in Words: A Night of South Asian American Writers," "Brain Injury as Confession," and "Brain Injury Warriors New York City."  He is the winner  of the Peoples’ Choice Telly Award for the TV special “Interview with Ashok Rajamani”. <br /><br />Ashok's other works include Imagine Carnivalesque, his vivid essay collection of literary criticism, and If These Saris Could Talk: a monologue of gossip, an audio production starring voice actress Zehra Naqvi. He has been a featured writer in dozens of publications including Danse Macabre, Scholars & Rogues, South Asian Review, and 3:AM Magazine. He belongs to the Authors Guild, Indo-American Arts Council, New York Writers Coalition, and South Asian Journalists Association. <br /><br />Honored as a nationally recognized poet in Poets & Writers Magazine's Directory of American Writers, he is one of the first Indian American poets to have been invited to perform at the Curtea De Arges World Poetry Festival in Romania. A self-acknowledged Hindu hick, Ashok grew up in a town near a cornfield in Illinois, before fleeing to The Big Apple at the age of 17, where he's lived ever since. He is a Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of New York University, where he received his Journalism degree with Kappa Tau Alpha honors. He attended Columbia University for advanced cultural studies.<br /><br />Links: <br /><a href="https://www.ashokrajamani.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.ashokrajamani.com/</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00AR11Y8Y" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B00AR11Y8Y</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NEZPKA/ref" rel="noopener">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NEZPKA/ref</a>=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ashokrajamanipage/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/ashokrajamanipage/</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ashokrajamanipage/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/ashokrajamanipage/</a><br /><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashok-rajamani/" rel="noopener">https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashok-rajamani/</a><br /><a href="https://soundcloud.com/rajamani" rel="noopener">https://soundcloud.com/rajamani</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/49972856</guid><pubDate>Fri, 27 May 2022 22:18:47 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/49972856/ashok_full_audio.mp3" length="81143506" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Ronnie Q</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Limit Break Stories is a Limit Break Media project dedicated to promoting and curating inspiring and positive stories.

He is now based in Los Angeles where he operates as an independent screenwriter and film director.
