Hetal Jani is a first generation South Asian American and New York City native, which has colored her experience as an educator and her interest in how culture, society, and interpersonal relationships affect an individual’s development. Ms. Jani has over 15 years of experience as an educator and has helped hundreds of students navigate their academic careers, even leading them into their first jobs. To best provide for her students, she pursued 3 Masters degrees in a span of 4 years while working full time with students and families. To serve her most vulnerable and marginalized students, she obtained a Master in Psychology from Queens College of New York and a Master in Education from Harvard University, where she was awarded the distinguished Intellectual Contribution Award, given to the top graduating students in recognition of their accomplishments and role they played in leadership. An MBA from IE Business School in Spain and two years in leadership positions in various academic environments of China have given her the insight and passion for developing culturally aware, empathetic, and capable global citizens, who can succeed in life. More recently, she started SPEAK Mentorship, a nonprofit that ensures individuals achieve personal and professional goals, leading young women of diverse backgrounds into leadership positions across the workforce and giving them the tools to lift up their communities. Through SPEAK, Hetal plans to expand access to culturally responsive professional mentors to all those who seek one, opening doors to opportunities. Her life’s work involves developing a person’s unique voice and empowering marginalized communities, and she proudly furthers this mission every day through active community engagement.

EP3 - Mara Benner, "Whole Person" Integrative Health

Mali Phonpadith interviews Laurent Amzallag, Fitness Expert, Speaker, Entrepreneur, and TV Personality. 

Born by the beaches of Casablanca, Laurent grew up with the Mediterranean lifestyle infused with a time-immaterial mentality: the best things in life take time to nurture —food, wine, friendships. There are no short cuts, which is perfectly fine because the journey is just as enjoyable as the destination. Every moment counts, every moment is a celebration, so make the most out of the moment you’re you are living in. When that moment is over, make the most out of the next one. This is how Laurent was raised and what he brings to his fitness program!

For the past 15 years, Laurent has been Washington DC’s well sought after fitness expert. He was called to participate in Oprah’s “Live Your Best Life” tour and has been featured in ELLE Magazine along with numerous television and radio programs.

As the architect behind NRGY!15TM, he created this high intensity workout based on 15 signature moves choreographed to energetic music.
