When it comes to visual and performing arts, there is no doubt that emerging influencer and thriving ARTIST, Andrea Cordero, is a powerhouse in every sense of the word. Better known as AddiRockART to fans of her digital and fine artworks, and Andi to her closest family and friends, she has shown great potential and achieved exceptional accomplishments as an artist, actress, and audio engineer. 
Originally from Baltimore, MD, USA, Andrea is the daughter of a Mexican immigrant father, and celebrates her diverse Aztec/Mexican/Italian/American heritage throughout her artwork. In 2020, she dedicated herself to her personal brand, AddiRockART Global, after fifteen years of supporting other influences, actors, musicians, and celebrities. She began working in the UK and across the USA, and amid the pandemic and civil unrest, she rose to the occasion and took the whole year to donate her skills, art, voice, and time to many causes, including BLM, supplying PPE to front line responders in the USA and UK, and many more. 
Her ultimate goal is to create a network of creatives supporting and uplifting other creatives in their artistic endeavours. Today, she continues working to uplift Baltimore, MD, her hometown, and Peterborough, England, where her heart now lives.

Danya Sherman created KnoNap, a cocktail napkin that detects the presence of drugs in a bit by changing its color. The product creates a major difference and combats drug-facilitated sexual harassment.
KnoNap, unfortunately, came from a past that Danya drew inspiration from. In 2016, she fell victim to sexual harassment after she got her drink slipped with a drug. The event gave all sorts of fear for Danya. But she came out of that dark place and started working her way to prevent such dreadful things from happening to others.
So she came up with KnowNap, a creation of her own genius. Now, she’s making waves within the community.
