Zodiac Entertainment is an entertainment group, artist collective and online web series combined into one. This movement was pioneered and is led by Salt Lake City native Cassandra Houston, aka The Phoenix Child.

Jillian Orr, director of the teens program at Murray’s Miller Boys & Girls Club, introduce us to Carissa Vera, the club’s youth of the year. A 4.0 sophomore at Murray High School, Vera organized a service project last Saturday to make sack lunches to feed over 600 homeless individuals. She recruited more than 80 teenagers and 20 adult volunteers to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and holiday cards, then deliver the meals throughout downtown Salt Lake City.

Spice Kitchen Incubator was back for another visit with Kafe’ Mamai Llc.-Catering company’s Chef Abudu. Since last time, he’s launched the Kafe’ Mamai food truck 11a-2p at the University of Utah Student Union when class is in session. And look for him quite possibly at Streamline Industries, Inc. in Sugar House this weekend.

#HolidayWishlist, featuring January Riggin and Courtney Averett of Soap2hope, a nonprofit 501(c)3 that that builds awareness, offers resources and advocates for women, men and teenagers who have been sexually exploited, sex trafficked and are working in the sex trade, as well as individuals who are facing addictions, abuse and trauma in the community. 

Roam Wyld is a new women-owned Consulting & Event Production company for Cultural Creatives. Founders Michelle Stephen and Jennifer Hamilton stopped by the show to talk about the start-up and the launch party, WYLD Transition - Winter Soulstice Dance, this Saturday from 7:00-11:00 p.m. at Avenues Yoga, 867 E. 2100 S., SLC.
