Teresia Matthew, a mother of two from North Atlanta, has created the world's first Black-owned sweetener brand, SumSweet, making a groundbreaking contribution to the sweetener industry. Born out of her personal struggle to quit sugar and the negative effects she experienced with artificial sweeteners, Teresia has developed a sweetener that not only tastes like sugar but also lacks the bitter aftertaste and cooling effects commonly found in artificial sweeteners.

After thorough testing, Teresia is confident that SumSweet will satisfy even the most discerning palates. The company currently offers four types of SumSweet: SumSweet Crystals, SumSweet+ Granular, SumSweet+ Confectioners, and SumSweet+ Brown, and Teresia is already planning to expand the product line with dessert mixes, drink mixes, and other pantry staples.

"Starting something that's never been done before comes with a certain level of pressure, but I took my time, studied, and researched the entire process to ensure that I got it right," Teresia said.

SumSweet is available for purchase on sumsweet.com and at Meijer Grocery Stores in the Midwest region.

Neurodiverse Leadership Toastmasters, a nonprofit educational organization, invites adults to attend its open house on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST). The online event will provide an opportunity to meet members and hear Matt Kinsey, a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) and the current Toastmasters International President, talk about creating a culture of inclusion within organizations.

Neurodiverse Leadership Toastmasters (NLTM) empowers its members to develop their leadership and communication skills in a supportive and positive learning environment. “The club is creating a neuroinclusive environment that is open to different thinking styles, resulting from genetic or environmental factors,” says Jenny Liu, the club sponsor and president who is also a Registered Parliamentarian trained in human-centered design.

Since research suggests that the neurodiverse community speaks different social languages, NLTM aims to support members in practicing how to communicate authentically and safely both at home and work with constructive feedback.  For example, club member, Monica C. Moya, JD, coined the word “neurolytical” to define herself because she must analyze everything about the people she interacts with to determine how to respond properly. Moya added, “Social situations—whether one-on-one or larger groups, family or strangers—are like chess games to me. Social cues are like the rules that govern how each chess piece can move. Neurotypicals naturally understand them and follow them effortlessly. My autism presents in such a way that most social rules never get set in concrete. So, for me, conversations are like trying to lasso a chicken while reading Emily Post’s Etiquette.”

During the event, attendees will also have the opportunity to experience a shorter version of a regular club meeting, including prepared speeches, Table Topics™, and evaluations. The meeting will be led by charter members with a range of experiences in nonprofit, government, and corporations.

Other members, including accredited public speakers, caregivers, and managers, are working to raise awareness and celebrate the collective achievements from complementing the unique talents of neurotypical and neurodivergent individuals.  By enabling members to discover and realize their potential for personal and professional development without focusing on disorders or deficits, the club hopes to advance members' social lives and careers.  For instance, Kassandra Pierre, an assistant vice president in technology talent development for a Fortune 500 company in the financial services sector, expresses, “I joined the club to increase my comfort level with presenting to audiences and to elevate my presentations with constructive feedback. I wanted to effectively moderate panel discussions that promoted the mission of women in cybersecurity, which is to recruit, hire, and retain more neurodivergent employees.”

The open house is free and open to the public. To attend, please register at https://bit.ly/nltm-rsvp. NLTM meets on the first Saturday at 1 p.m. and second Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST of each month online, via Zoom video conferencing.

The Quattro Development project involved the conversion of a multi-tenant retail center to a freestanding Guidepost Montessori. Construction began during the summer of 2022 with an expected tenant opening in Q1 2023.

The redeveloped site sold for $9,200,000, equating to a 6.68% cap rate. Chris Urban of NNN Pro Group was the listing agent on the sale.

Mike Liyeos of Quattro Development said, “Despite the rise in interest rates there remains a good deal of investor interest in acquiring Guidepost Montessori properties as long term investments.

”According to Quattro Development’s Rob Walters, "The Seattle market is a very difficult market to acquire good real estate in, so after years of trying to uncover opportunities, we were very happy to see this one to fruition.” Area retail includes Trader Joe’s, Costco, Fred Meyer, Whole Foods, and the Alderwood Mall.

The project is Quattro Development’s second Guidepost Montessori in the Seattle MSA. A similar Kent, WA project was completed and sold earlier in 2022.

The Killers Next Door, a thrilling crime drama, is now streaming worldwide on Amazon Prime and Vudu. Written and directed by Michael A. LoCicero, the film takes place in the secluded woods of New Hampshire, where a young couple's peaceful weekend getaway turns into a fight for survival when they come across two ex-convicts on the run.

The film was shot in just 15 days on a budget and features an exceptional cast including Rosanna Jimenez (FBI: Most Wanted) and Sean Carmichael (Monsterland 2, The Wrong Todd) as the young couple, and David Pridemore (Signs of Love, How to Rob) as the menacing ex-convict Bobby. LoCicero also stars in the film as Bobby's foster brother Ryan.

"Despite the quick filming schedule, our cast and crew went above and beyond to create an amazing film," said LoCicero. "The final product is a testament to the talent and dedication of our indie filmmaking team."

The worldwide release of The Killers Next Door is a significant achievement for the production team. "We're thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce our film to a global audience through Amazon Prime Video and Vudu, and are humbled by the positive reaction it has received from early screenings," said Executive Producer Nick Mazonowicz.

The Killers Next Door was produced by JL Pictures, a Rhode Island-based film and media production company founded by LoCicero and Mazonowicz, along with Mark Fogarty, Mark Greene, and Anne Mulhall. The film is distributed by Deskpop Entertainment and MPX Motion Picture Exchange.

The inspiration for the film came from LoCicero's real-life experiences visiting his family's secluded cabin in rural New Hampshire. The darkness of the nights and the sense of isolation sparked his imagination, leading him to create a story that examines the limits of everyday people when pushed to the brink and forced to fight for survival.
