Today I came across a digital article that forced me to take a pause. The subject matter was  familiar to me, however, when I repeated it to myself, I added “Dah” at the end. After repeating the statement, I couldn’t help but have a gut wrenching good chuckle by myself. These are the moments when you must be reminded to forgive yourself for your past business mistakes and continue on this brave course of entrepreneurship.

In that moment my value was to recognize and make a self evaluation of my own truth, that I am a valuable resource of information to others.  Being comfortable with one’s depth of knowledge and life experience equals wisdom.  My journey of humility has allowed me to sit in rooms with those of great prominence and importance. This reminded me that I’m ok,  because I continue to learn from people who have already done what I want to do. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not shy about my own greatness, but today I was reminded of who I am, my purpose and my sincere thanks to my Creator for guiding me through many land mines.

As Founder of JONEI, I have penned both domestic and international deals for clients. In matters of reference, we have decided to highlight some of our extraordinary circle of influence and clients.  This month we introduce the growth and accomplishments of one of our longest client’s, Scott Camaran.  Scott was scouted several times in malls with his brother and walking with friends. Finally, after much consideration, he was scouted in Manhattan and signed with one of the top Modeling Agencies in the country. The management  journey through digital media, segmented marketing and licensing deals with Scott began. With tenacity and hard work we set in motion a vision to manage various unforeseen circumstances.

Today, Scott has been the principal of international campaigns and commercials for T-Mobile, Apple, Nike, Coca Cola to name just a few. His creative ability has extended  into an array of  multifaceted areas, one being as Creative Director and Senior Fashion Designer at the helm of an emerging luxury streetwear apparel brand in Soho, New York. He professionally appeared in editorials, campaigns, commercials, TV and Film. His career as a model Has led him to pursue photography and art direction as a freelance professional. The editorials he produced, styled, and photographed have been published in international magazines including Schön and Design Scene.  Scott partnered to conceptualize and launch KROST New York, opening their first concept retail space for the brand in Soho, and in May 2019, Scott opened the second concept retail pop-up in SoHo for KROST New York. The brand has received coverage in Good Morning America, Vogue, Forbes, Essence, CFDA, Paper Magazine, V Magazine, E! News, etc. He has designed clothes that have been worn by Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and others. 

Scott produced post-production including casting, styling, shooting the campaigns, editing and curating the content. Scott not only designed, but spearheaded the concepts for each season; developing each collection from sketch to garment. He presently works between New York and Los Angeles producing and creating. The small contribution JONEI made to Scott’s outstanding accomplishments is incomparable to what his future achievements will bring.

In my previous blog post I formally introduced myself to you and stated how our team has begun the evolving process of redefining Jonei Productions - post COVID.  I take pride in my  mentor's wisdom because I am one of those that others will look to learn from because I’ve already been there - done that, and will continue to use my Leadership role to assist others. Seek mentors and learn from people who have already done what you are trying or want to do

Today we have redesigned JONEI so that it continues to evolve in 2022. We are so excited for our upcoming rollouts as we rebuild our pipeline, however, we want to first thank each and everyone who has supported us on this journey. Our new deliverables include the creation and production of new content and projects which include insightful monthly content that's beneficial for everyday use, sharing client profiles and presenting their products in a whole new way to support brand awareness. There are so many new things in JONEI 2022. Looking forward to you continuing the journey with us!
