Academy of Art University Benefits Society with Augmented Reality

The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA

From our friends at the Academy of Art University...

The Academy of Art University Has Found a Positive Way to Use Augmented Reality

Art schools have certainly evolved more in the past decade than any other branch of education. Only 20 years ago, the average art school was merely a place to learn painting, music, singing, and possibly a talent more useful like clothing design. Art schools still offer common subjects like music, acting, and painting; however, now, beginning in recent years, art schools are a great place to learn a useful trade that will benefit a person, financially and creatively, for the rest of their lives.

Women's Empower Expo Coming to DC

From Adversity to Inspiration, Women Empower Expo Comes to DC, Featuring Keynote Speaker Cleo Wade

Alexa Carlin is no stranger to adversity. She founded her first company at the age of 17, Carlin started her first business at the age of 17, a jewelry line that made bracelets for the OmniPeace Foundation. Later while attending the University of Florida, Carlin started the inspirational blog Hello Perfect, a blog that elicited quotes from celebrities ranging from Shaquille O'Neal to Mark Cuban. These endeavors enabled Carlin, who in high school was too shy to raise her hand in class, to build confidence - her mission, to promote self-esteem in girls and women. In the midst of all of this, she was rushed to the hospital where one, then five then 25 doctors were called to the emergency room where she was rushed - not being able to breathe. She had suddenly gone into septic shock and the family was told she had a 1% chance to live. Miraculously, she walked out of the hospital six months later, but constant ingestion of antibiotics had destroyed her system. Since then, she has been passionate about making a difference in others lives through her entrepreneurial endeavors. She continues to suffer from autoimmune disease, but has managed to rise above it despite severe constant physical pain.
