Ha Candy - Welcome ikandy, it’s a pleasure your here.
iKandy - Its a pleasure also! Thank you and Im honored!
Ha Candy - There’s not many Models engaging they’re communities and branding themselves effectively as you are. What called or attracted you to the organizations you’ve founded, and non profit work. Your doing so much for the world?
iKandy - I grew up in a troublesome home, not normal for an American child, but surviving the impacts the 1975 genocide had on my parents. They’re ways of coping were brutal on me and being on my own during my young adult life, led me to discover my passion, what I was born here to do. I became a Cambodian Rights Activist and co-founded The SCC Project (strengthening Cambodian Communities) with my partner Tara in Australia, to help rebuild families one village at a time, focusing on education values. I recently finished an event for another non-profit in NY that I volunteered for. It was fashion show, showcasing the beauitufl hand made products produced by survivors of sex slavery. This non-profit is dedicated to eradicate sex slavery and human trafficking in Cambodia, by rescuing, rehabilitation and provide training and living wages for the survivors and potential at-risk women and children. I spread awareness and attention to this topic through my modeling.
Ha Candy - You recently hosted and coordinated “Fashion for freedom” in New Orleans. How did it turn out?
iKandy - It went well. Despite a few technical difficulties that we had, but over all, it was a success. Especially for my first event.
Ha Candy - iKandy has to be one of the best names we’ve heard ! Where did it come from?

iKandy - I was thinking of a model name, and it came to me in my dream. I woke up saying iKandy!!
Ha Candy - What was your most embarrassing moment?
iKandy - I remember, I was on the metro bus, I was 15 at the time. It was completely packed, so I was standing but a pregnant lady came on the bus, and this woman in front of me was sitting down, and her 2-3 year old child took up a seat. She removed her child so the pregnant woman could sit, but she passed the seat up. So I sat down, and the woman who saved the spot for the woman pushed me out of the seat, and put her child back on the seat! Yea I was so embarrassed I got off at the wrong stop.

Growing up in Montgomery county , Maryland her life could be a series of books. She's determined to be the first Cover Girl Cambodian American model and land a sidekick role alongside Jackie Chan.iKandy is very proud of her heritage and is amazed how the people in Cambodia overcome such atrocities as genocide and continue smiling. They've survived poverty, starvation and even human trafficking.She wouldn't change too much about the model industry however she's a perfect example of what a model SHOULD be. A model of the human spirit, more than just a pretty face. After activism comes little time with her family but she cherishes every moment spent.

Jasika Nicole - A world of creativity and inspiration.
Jasika Nicole
Actress & Illustrator
(Broadway, tv,film, & art)
Jasika Nicole currently stars as Agent Astrid Farnsworth on the hit JJ Abrams sci- fi series “FRINGE” on Fox. She made her feature film debute in “take the lead” opposite Antonio Banderas, landing roles in tv on “Law and order:Criminal Intent” and many more. After studying theatre, voice and dance she pursued a career in the arts. Starring alongside Bronson Pinchot, and several other stage productions. Her website (Jasikanicole.com) is blooming with her beautiful art illustrations, including her autobiographical comic entitled “High Yella Magic” which she is preparing to develop into a graphic novel. We were fortunate enough to chat with Jasika and were proud to share it with you.
You have been soaring through the arts for quite some time now, what attracted you to acting?
I started in musical theatre, and I loved (and still love) dancing and singing onstage. It’s not something I can describe really, the feeling I have when I am performing, but being onstage is a place that makes me feel so satisfied and excited about what I am doing that if I had not continued with it, I would have deprived myself of something that makes me undeniably happy.
Many actors and actresses describe a "feeling" they experience on stage, how do you feel on stage?
It’s like acting out your favorite dream and never having to wake up from it. I imagine that I get the same feelings onstage as the kids had in the first part of the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Actually, I probably get the same feelings onstage as I would in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", too.
What did you learn about voice,dance,and theater in North Carolina?
I learned how to work with other people, as an ensemble and as a collective. I was taught the true meaning of collaborating with a group of artists who have different skills but the same intentions, which is to create a fantastic live experience for theatre goers.
Whats your most favorite memory or character on stage?
I played Nicolette in a new musical called "Chasing Nicolette" at the Prince Music Theatre in Philadelphia a couple years after I moved to NYC. It was the first show I performed in as an adult where I worked with well known Broadway veterans, and therefore the first time anyone considered me to be in the same league as such incredibly talented professional actors. It was such a fun show because I got to sing the whole show, do comedy, get kidnapped by a nun and then travel the world dressed like a male troubadour so that I could find my true love. It is one of my greatest triumphs onstage, and sadly the last play I ever performed because shortly after the show closed I started booking TV and film work.
If you weren't acting or illustrating, what profession would you take up?
Its either performing or illustrating- I'm not interested enough in anything else enough to make it a profession.
Some say you can tell much about a person by what they listen to & read , do you agree?
No, I don’t think musical and literary tastes give me enough of an idea about a person. I have too many really close friends with completely different tastes than mine to put much stock in those qualifiers.
Who's in your playlist?
Janelle Monae, Erykah Badu, Talking Heads, Animal Collective, Anita Baker and Prince.
Is your artwork available for fans to purchase, and where can they buy the handbags?
My handbags are available through http://www.

I Get Around! Celebrating 2pac all month.
Im celebrating all month on my radio show "in tune with tmill" my favorite artist of all time 2Pac.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, 10pm est 7pm pst. Here.
Do you remember the first time you saw the video "I get around" - 2Pac ?
It was a summer in Montgomery Al, for me.
Packed in a shack with 4 Cousins, my mother,my brother, aunt, uncle,step father, grand mother and grand father. Taking a break from playing Nintendo, for hours on end we turned on "The Box." the local video channel.
I was already a fan of 2pac from "Hollar if you hear me," but there was something about this song. The beat caught everyone's attention in the room transforming it into a dance floor. 2 of my cousins were Rene and Sandra, both who Awwed over 2pac's physique and jealous of women he woke up with on his bed.
I felt like he brought the party to my house, i felt like he was right next door. When the first of the month rolled around, this is how we partied and everyone on my block got down the same way. This is no doubt one of my favorite 2pac songs. Enjoy.
Where were you when this song came out?
