Hello Family and Friends, We made it! It has been a great journey since we came to California in 2013 to pursue our passion by studying at ArtCenter College of Design. Martel will be receiving a Bachelors of… Read More
This year’s theme was “Visions of the Future,” a look back at what people thought the future would be like in the past. It was only coincidence that a couple days before was the Back to the Future day that social media outdid itself commemorating. To that end, there were two BTTF DeLoreans on hand, as well as a KITT car. A rare and wild Badsey Bullet three-wheeler represented at least one guy’s vision of the future back in the 1980s. And the great Syd Mead himself made a heck of an entrance when he drove onto the lawn in a massive, slab-sided 1972 Imperial LeBaron with personalized plates that rear FABULON.
But those were just a few of the hundred-or-so cars on hand. There were big, stately classics: a 1938 DuBonnet Xenia Hispano-Suiza and a 1952 Packard Pininfarina Coupe. There were ‘60s road beasts like a ’63 Riviera and an Olds Tornado driven by Leno. There were Tatras galore including John Long’s 1947 T87 and Paul Greenstein’s 1950 T600 even the Hirohata Merc,
“It’s so cool,” said Art Center chairman of design Stewart Reed.
“I love this show,” said local car collector and car community leader Bruce Meyer. “First because it’s a place of higher learning, the students are so fresh and enthusiastic and appreciate all this; second because I grew up in LA and used to live right across the street from the Art Center’s original location, I’d watch the students drive in with cool customs and hot rods. It made an impression on me that remains today.”
“I come here to find inspiration,” said Art Center transportation design student Ken Hong.
Thank You,

WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!!!
Thank you all for your support and contributions,this entire story of how we even could be apart of this journey is a miracle by itself. We stand very grateful, our trip to Ghana Africa was magnificent. It was Enlightening to be able to feel,see,breathe,and live within the culture of motherland. The rumors are true Africa is a beautiful place and it is is filled with culture and Love. We have captured some Amazing footage over there with our strong trio Next Level camera team. It is amazing how one young man (Anthony Tay) can find a little piece of magazine all the way from Cleveland Ohio to Africa 6 years after it was written. Anthony took the chance to reach out to Yvonne who lost her own child, through their social impact collaborative work they have consistently nurtured thousands of kids to better health education and a violence free society for 12 years. (Gloria Pointer Teen Movement).
This is going to turn out to be a great inspiring documentary for all ages. We are in the process of created a mini Trailer for the future Film ; ) Although we got there and made it back safely, the process for this movie is not over. There is still more work to do. More money still has to be raised for the quality of the film to be done right. We are seeking at least $16,000. Thank you for your good energy and support.

The Next Level Brothers bring UNITY with the LA Foodbank on ABC7 from The Next Level Brothers on Vimeo.
About two weeks ago, our social impact organization UNITY received a great email from Susan Acker Director of Marketing at The LA FoodBank. She asked us to represent live on ABC7 in front of a million + viewers. Our relationship started last summer 2014. We showed up ready and willing to volunteer. We were supposed to meet up with another group but they didn’t show up! So on our lunch break we decided to Take it to The Next Level and create an Official LA FoodBank UNITY Commercial for more help to boost awareness for more volunteer involvement for hunger around the state. No one should be hungry for food.
So Friday (6/19/2015) came and we participated in the LA Regional Food Bank’s Stuff-A-Truck event in Gardena. We are very grateful this was our first live national TV segment. It was a blessing and such a great opportunity for us to share our vision of making the world a better place and to expand our network of positive relationships. The classy and professional Alysha of ABC7 interviewed us on why we made our video about volunteering at the LA food bank – and we got to tell it live in the 5 pm news hour (about 5:23 to be exact).
From 6:30 am until 6:30 pm, reporters from KABC-7 in Los Angeles reported updates on the amount of food donated. Albertson’s Markets provided space in their parking lot for 2 semi trailers to be loaded with pallets of food. By the end of the day over 2 MILLION pounds of food had been donated at the Gardena location and an identical location in Thousand Oaks.
Girl Scouts accepted donations and put them in big tubs to be loaded into the trucks. People from senior centers were there to hand out water. A Subway in the same mall delivered sandwiches to the volunteers. The passionate spirit of giving joyfully was all over that parking lot. Vons, Pavilions and Albertsons markets have pre-packed bags of food that can be purchased for $5 right when you go through the checkout. All the food that is purchased this way will go to food banks in LA, Orange County, and Ventura counties.

Giving and helping out are huge in our Next Level purpose – UNITY : Becoming Greater Together.
Love, Care and Share.
Thank you ALL,
We were so fortunate to be included in two very different professional, passionate, and purposeful events this past week.
Last Thursday (6/18/15) evening we were invited to attend an interactive networking event at Chase Design Group in South Pasadena. This company not too long ago had very few employees and operated out of a run down building in East LA. They have started from the bottom and now have grown impressively to offices in two major cities Los Angeles and New York. Now they have accumulated many National and International awards for branding client companies from Proctor & Gamble to Nestle. What has helped them grow so rapidly are these three shared commitments to make collective work stronger : QUESTION EVERYTHING, WORKING TOGETHER WORKS BETTER, IT’S MORE THAN A FEELING. This company is led by the humbly cool visionary Margo Chase.
The hands-on session focused on the history, design strategy, and real-world process of “split fountain” artwork. Art Center College of Design (ACCD) alum Paula Hansanugrum had been a guest lecturer in our Business 101 class with one of Amazon’s top 20 book authors, the awesome Terry Lee Stone. Paula then invited us to attend the event at Chase Design Group where she works as a Creative Director. During the evening we had the fun opportunity to share creative visions with packaging professionals in Chase’s friendly and inspiring work space. We also had the opportunity to create an original screen-printed work of art courtesy of HIT+RUN , they create one-of-a-kind custom interactive art experiences. The coolest part of the evening was soaking up all the enthusiasm that Laura has generated about our creative work at ACCD. We connected with so many talented and passionate people – people who take their work to the next level every day.
We want to thank Chase Design Group for allowing us into their creative zone. We encourage you all to go out and network with professionals in a variety of fields. You never know who or what can influence your life, if you don’t take advantage of opportunities as they come. Shout out to Jason Waks (Director of Operations) for motivating the team and seeing it all through. This day we created great relationships, that energy is priceless.

The Enlightened Project is a documentary about the uniting of two determined people from two different parts of the world with a common goal of making a safe learning environment for all children. Yvonne Pointer has been an outspoken and decorated activist and philanthropist. Motivated by the tragic murder of her daughter (Gloria Pointer), she has worked passionately to create a safe and nurturing environment for Cleveland’s teens and other families around the world. Singled out and featured by Oprah Winfrey in 1996, Yvonne has engaged with community leaders and eager volunteers to create positive change.
The effort to create the school in Atonkwa, Ghana is the direct result of a young African man’s (Anthony Tay) serendipitous connection. A newspaper article about Yvonne’s honors and accolades made its way to Ghana and landed at the feet of Anthony Tay, a young man searching for purpose and a way to keep his village alive and children educated in rough times in Ghana. Inspired by the positive outreach and support from Yvonne, Anthony persisted over the years to make positive changes in his community. The Gloria Pointer Teen Movement has lead the way.
Now, things have fruitfully grown and a new school, “Gloria Pointer Teen Movement School” is nearing completion. Ms. Pointer has been invited to attend the dedication ceremony. She has reached out to us, The Next Level Brothers, in order to ensure we capture these historic events on film and tell the story of the hopes that inspired many to keep moving forward. The Next Level Brothers are trained film professionals attending the prestigious Art Center College of Design.
We will deliver a high-impact, motivational, and professional documentary that will be worthy of Film Festival awards. We seek $25,000 to cover our basic travel expenses. The costs will also will help hiring a professional camera operator who can assist with the shooting, lighting and environment. Filming will be conducted August 7-16, 2015 in Ghana. Donors will receive Producer credits on the film,exclusive DVD copy of the film,plus many more Next Level goodies from our Shop.

25 Of The Most Dangerous And Unusual Journeys To School In The World
This is very humbling. Have you ever thought about how other people travel to school?
Many students throughout the world have to take the most incredible and unimaginable routes in order to receive the education that some of us may take for granted.
Never forget how grateful you are for having the chance of education. Education is luxury. We have to make the best out of it.
Let’s rise up and be thankful.
Education takes Dedication and it is worth the Journey.

~The Next Level Brothers
To the delight (or dismay) of millions, the school season is beginning in many countries throughout the world. But it’s important not to forget that, in some parts of the world, school can be a hard-won luxury. Many children throughout the world have to take the most incredible and unimaginable routes in order to receive the education that some of us may take for granted. This list we collected will show you just how determined some children can be when it comes to getting an education.
According to UNESCO, progress in connecting children to schools has slowed down over the past five years. Areas that lack suitable school routes can often flood, making it even harder for kids to commute. Dangerous paths are one of the main reasons why many children decide to quit school.
The solution might seem easy: build roads and bridges, buy buses and hire a driver. However, the lack of funds and recurring natural disasters in many countries make it difficult to provide children with the solutions they so desperately need.

Michael and Steven Roberts on CNN
From a one-room office, they created an empire now made up of 76 companies and 1,100 employees, many of them minorities. They own commercial real estate, TV stations, hotels, telecommunication companies and more. The name Roberts adorns all their properties.
“We weren’t rich. We weren’t poor, but we just never had any money,” Michael says of their upbringing.
They like to tell their story, encouraging people with new ideas to chase their dreams. If you don’t have money, they say, don’t let that stop you.
Very inspiring story! We definitely need to be exposed to more examples like this. This is a shining example of endless possibilities for us all.
