Welcome to MonDai Magazine

When Ideas Move, Impact Follows

Impact is shaped through execution, not intention alone. This edition invites readers inside the work of those who understand that meaningful change requires structure, ownership, and the courage to act.

Our cover feature spotlights Joi Mebane, whose approach to beauty and celebration reveals how culture becomes power when guided by strategy. Inside, Kamirria Wallace of Black and Scholared offers a masterclass on designing legacy through education, identity, and purpose, while Edward Fultz, Esq. brings clarity to the importance of protecting intellectual property and owning ideas before the world recognizes their value. We also examine why formalizing a business is a critical step for founders who are serious about sustainability and growth.

This issue also honors impact rooted in care and service. Cheron Reed shares an approach to entrepreneurship that nourishes community alongside profit. Athena Hayley demonstrates how survival can be transformed into service through the Love My Neighbor Foundation. Kesia Arnold and The EmpowerHer Experience reminds us that creating spaces for women to be supported, seen, and restored is a powerful form of leadership in itself.

This edition is for builders who are ready to move beyond inspiration and into action. The pages ahead offer clarity, encouragement, and proof that impact is created through thoughtful execution and intentional growth.

ABOUT US

MonDai (pronounced “Monday”) is a magazine dedicated to shining a light on growing entrepreneurs, small businesses, and everyday innovators who are doing meaningful work that deserves to be seen.

At MonDai, we are redefining what it means to be worthy of media attention. Our pages are filled with faith, family, finance, fashion, fitness, beauty, relationships, travel, books, and intentional living — all through a lens of depth, culture, and community.

We believe in the quiet power of growth. We honor beginnings. And we believe visibility should come with values.

Impact is built in real time, often long before anyone calls it success. In the latest edition of MonDai Magazine, we’re proud to feature Kamirria Wallace, founder of Black & Scholared, an apparel brand that began in her home and has grown into a nationally distributed business with manufacturing relationships and partnerships across some of the country’s top colleges and universities. Her story is proof that vision paired with persistence can scale far beyond its starting point. What makes Kamirria’s journey especially compelling is not just the growth, but the discipline behind it. She took an idea rooted in pride, education, and identity and turned it into a brand trusted by institutions, worn with intention, and built to last. That kind of expansion does not happen by accident. It happens through clarity, consistency, and a willingness to learn every layer of the business. As she so powerfully puts it, “The season you are in now may not look like the finished vision, but it is still part of the design.” That truth resonates throughout this issue, which features founders who are building with patience, purpose, and an eye toward longevity. This is why MonDai exists. To spotlight entrepreneurs who are doing the work, scaling thoughtfully, and creating impact that extends well beyond a single moment or milestone. Explore the latest issue to discover stories that show what’s possible when ambition is backed by action.

MonDai stories move from talking about it to being about it. What separates our storytelling is not hype or headlines, but the work behind the words. We spotlight people who are building, refining, and showing up with consistency, clarity, and purpose in what they create. Each feature explores how ideas become businesses, how vision turns into execution, and how progress is shaped through thoughtful action over time. These are stories rooted in follow-through, not just intention. This is where conversation meets commitment. This is how lasting work takes shape. Follow @MonDai.magazine for stories that reflect what’s possible when you decide to be about the work.

Community is not just who reads our magazine. It’s where those readers are, what you’re building, and the goals you’re carrying into this new year. Today, we’re pausing to check in. Where are you reading from, and what idea, intention, or business goal are you giving energy to right now? Whether it’s a city, a season of transition, a new venture, or a familiar path you’re choosing to grow differently, we’d love to hear from you. Drop a word, a location, or a goal in the comments. This community is shaped by the voices and visions within it.

Impact is what the world sees. Intention is what guides the work. Legacy is what remains long after the moment has passed. At MonDai, we believe the most meaningful work is built quietly, deliberately, and with care. It is shaped by the standards you keep when no one is watching and the choices you make when shortcuts are available but not taken. This is the lens we use to tell stories. This is the energy we honor. This is how lasting work is built. Follow along as we continue to spotlight people and ideas rooted in purpose, progress, and perspective.

Not every meaningful move in business is measured by revenue. In MonDai Magazine’s Impact edition, our cover story features Joi Mebane, founder and CEO of The Look By Joi, whose journey shows how celebration itself can become a strategic act in business. Her feature, Giving Flowers While Building Empires: How Joi Mebane Turned Beauty into Power and Celebration into Strategy, explores what it looks like to grow a brand while remaining deeply attuned to the people moving through it. At this year’s PYNK Gala in New York, Joi arrived with no intention of doing brows. She knew the women in attendance already looked their best. What she recognized was something else entirely. While beauty was assured, acknowledgment was not. Instead of tools and chairs, Joi introduced the 60 Second Flower Shop, an activation inspired by her viral 60 Second Brow Kit and rooted in something far more human. Guests were handed custom floral arrangements, crafted one by one, not as décor, but as declaration. Each bouquet affirmed presence, contribution, and the simple truth that women, especially women in business, deserve to be celebrated while they are here to receive it. This is the kind of impact MonDai was created to highlight. Growth paired with care. Visibility grounded in meaning. Business built with humanity at its core.

Starting is easy. Standing out is where most people fail. At the beginning of a new year, ambition is everywhere, yet execution is rare. This edition of MonDai speaks directly to the difference. It highlights founders, business owners, and community leaders who did not just launch. They found ways to grow with clarity, relevance, and distinction. Inside, you’ll see what happens when people stop copying what already exists and instead identify the lane that only they can own. These are individuals who built businesses and organizations by doing the work their way, refining their niche, and standing out in fields crowded with sameness. This is not inspiration without instruction. It’s perspective for people who are serious about starting, scaling, and sustaining something meaningful. If you are thinking about launching this year, or recommitting to what you have already started, MonDai is where that conversation begins.

A new year calls for a higher standard, bolder decisions, and a belief that impact is something you can design on purpose. Our latest edition of MonDai Magazine opens the year with our Impact issue, featuring Joi Mebane on the cover, a founder whose journey shows what’s possible when preparation meets opportunity. This issue is a celebration of builders who are not waiting for opportunity, but creating it through intention, strategy, and action. Inside, readers will find stories from founders, business owners, and community leaders who are making meaningful impact across industries and communities. These are individuals who saw possibility where others saw limits, who trusted their ideas enough to act, and who committed to doing the work required to build something lasting. This edition is a reminder that impact is not reserved for a select few. It is created by those willing to step forward, refine their craft, and move with purpose. If they can do it, so can you.

Growth looks different when it is rooted in care, community, and a deep commitment to building responsibly. In the second edition of MonDai Magazine, we feature Mskindness B. Ramirez, whose work reflects what it means to cultivate both opportunity and consciousness within an evolving industry. Her article, Rooted In Kindness: How Mskindness B. Ramirez Is Cultivating Careers, Communities, and Consciousness with Cannabis, explores the intersection of business, advocacy, and leadership grounded in humanity. Through her work, Mskindness has helped open pathways into the cannabis industry that prioritize education, inclusion, and responsibility. She is building careers, strengthening communities, and encouraging conversations that expand access while honoring the people most impacted by the work. Her approach reminds us that growth carries more meaning when it is guided by values and sustained through action. “If there is not a seat at the table, pull up a chair. Say, ‘Excuse me, I am going to sit here.’” The sentiment captures the confidence and clarity that define her journey and the spirit of this edition. Mskindness’s story is one of many featured in MonDai’s second edition, which highlights individuals shaping industries while staying rooted in what matters most.

Blackleaf Organic Vodka stands apart for its focus on quality, culture, and thoughtful growth.

What happens when you give yourself permission to explore a curiosity before you know where it might lead? In the first edition of MonDai Magazine, we feature David Radney, whose story reminds us that purpose often reveals itself through moments of exploration rather than perfectly planned decisions.

What began as a passion for capturing images gradually became something more expansive.

In our inaugural issue of MonDai Magazine, we’re honored to feature Joi Mebane, founder of The Look by Joi, whose journey reflects the kind of vision and intentionality that define MonDai from the very beginning.
