I just had a birthday and hit 10,000 followers🎉 time for a reintroduction🫵🏾 - hi guys i’m Josh, 24:

1. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Growing up it was just me and my mum: a Zambian asylum seeker who raised me in Bradford and refused to let our circumstances decide who I got to become. Church choir kid, read too much and ended up winning a full scholarship to read law at the University of Oxford.

2. WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
London, merging two worlds - by day, I work in corporate law and I’m closing in on qualification. By night, I’m a session recording artist and backing vocalist (@soulsanctuarygospelchoir) while building a platform on life, careers and music.

(side note: we also released an album with @londonsymphonyorchestra last November and have an upcoming international tour in dec so make sure you keep an eye out!)

3. WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE IN 3–5 YEARS
Qualified, working in the emerging companies space, with a platform big enough that a 16-year-old in Bradford doesn’t have to guess how any of this works. I want the initiatives I’m quietly building now to be pulling people through the doors I had to find on my own.

4. ONE PIECE OF YOUR CREATIVE WORK

A Reel I made about being sent to Zambia for discipline as a kid. This is a decision facing many families in the diaspora and almost nobody talks about publicly. It affected me deeply for years.

It was a challenging post, but I was so moved by the discussion it created. I spoke to parents who’d made that choice and carried guilt about it; people who had been the ones sent as children; and struggling parents fretting over whether they should make that decision. That’s the kind of content I want to keep making.

5. ONE PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK FROM SOMEONE ELSE THAT HIT FOR YOU

My cousin’s content. He has cerebral palsy and made the US national soccer. The achievement is crazy. But what gets me is that he just refused to allow his disability to stop him. He inspires me every day.@cerebralpossibility.

@maisonfoundation hopefully see you in Cannes🫵🏾❤️

Hi Maison Fam!

I’m Brendaliz, born in Staten Island NY, can you tell from the Wutang? I live in Orlando.

Recently graduated from Miami Ad School, currently freelancing as a Creative Art Director & Strategist.

In the next few years owning my own creative agency paving the way for others to also break into the industry.

Recently have been inspired a lot by the Artist way! Currently in week 12 the final week and the 200 miles I’m about to walk across Spain!

With Gratitude thanks for all you do!! ✨@maisonfoundation

Here is my @maisonfoundation Application:

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I’ve lived in three cities that shaped three versions of me. But My Voice lives in many worlds!
St. Louis — home, birthplace, and the city that taught me to hustle because you cant spell hustle without STL. It also sparked my love for architecture.
Huntsville — where I earned my Marketing degree, built my sales career, and learned the power of community while helping a fast‑growing city tell its stories.
New York — where Translation showed me the intersection of culture and business, and where I discovered the gift that changed everything: my voice. I went on to narrate some of the most inspiring cultural moments of the last decade.
Now I’m back in St. Louis City, bringing it all home.

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?
I’m in the space where the road disappeared, but the vision sharpened. I run an independent creative agency offering creative strategy, voiceover, and MC work for storytellers shaping culture and community.
I graduated from Alabama A&M in 2013 — and maybe one day I’ll still chase that architecture degree. For now, I’m designing how stories are felt. Voiceover found me, and it became my ikigai. I help stories and brands sound like their truest selves.

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE IN 3–5 YEARS?
I want to elevate every craft I touch — voice, strategy, hosting — to a higher frequency. I want my lived experience to shape the way I lead, create, and tell stories.
Staying open has taken me far, including voicing work that earned a Silver and Bronze Cannes Lion for “Driving While Black.”
I want to create pathways for young people to find their voice and their sovereignty. And I’m moving toward being recognized across the industry as someone who shapes culture with intention and integrity.

ONE PIECE OF YOUR CREATIVE WORK
Alabama A&M University — Love The Future 150th Anniversary Campaign
My voice helped my alma mater raise a record‑breaking $20M+ in individual giving — securing the next 150 years for generations of Bulldogs. One of the most meaningful projects I’ve ever been trusted with.

this is my submission to the @maisonfoundation Cannes Equity and Representation Scholarship. Thank you for reading 🙏🏾

Slide 001:
Where I’ve been: here + there.

I’m Emanuel. A lot of people call me Manny, many call me E, and some call me Tobi. I’m Nigerian and from Newark, NJ — the youngest of three siblings. I’ve called Brooklyn, NY home for the last six years.

Slide 002:
Where am I now?

I’m an editor, moderator, and marketing strategist that has a deep knowledge and love of music, and I’ve called Brooklyn, NY home for the last six years. I got my first job at 19 while I was a student at Howard University, and many opportunities came after that before I landed at Variety. During the day I was a sales and marketing coordinator, and I’d spend my nights and weekends going to shows and interviewing some of my favorite artists. Then I led media relations at Warner Music’s ADA, and was recruited by EBONY in 2024 to revitalize their music coverage as Music Editor.

Slide 003:
Where do you want to be in 3–5 years?

I want to be exactly who God wants me to be and doing exactly what He needs me to do. I want to be a defining editorial voice within the ever-evolving music and media landscape, expand how I show up creatively, and support creatives in a more elevated and impactful way through journalism, content production, and artist-driven political advocacy, all with art and music at the center.

Slide 004:
One piece of creative work.

My Usher EBONY cover story is a moment I still cherish. It was a whirlwind working with my team to secure one of the most important artists of our time during a major resurgence in his career — a Vegas residency, a Super Bowl performance, and a monumental world tour. Telling that story was priceless.

For @maisonfoundation

1. Where you’ve been:
Raised in Nicaragua, shaped in Miami, and now based in New York City.

I got my start photographing at church, and since then have had the privilege to travel the world capturing artists and causes that matter to me.

2. Where you are now:
My photography is centered around celebrating and exploring themes of community, love, and identity- with people always at its heart.

3. Where you want to be in the next 3–5 years:
I see myself touring globally with an artist or band that aligns with my values and passion for music. At the same time, I want to establish and grow my own photo studio in New York, where I can continue creating honest, inviting portraits that reflect people as they are in each moment of their lives.
