About Me

Or are you paying $40 or more for a fancy bottle of blueberry, grape, or guava puree with only a trace of actual Noni juice in it? Obviously, there is nothing wrong with drinking grape or berry or any other fruit juice for a healthy, balanced dietary regimen. But who ever heard of paying that kind of money for fruit juice? Noni juice is not just another fruit juice--it is a natural juice with no additives or preservatives. If the taste of pure Noni is a problem, there is nothing wrong with mixing a little fruit juice with it at home. We just don't believe in selling it that way. That's why our juice is 100% pure and undiluted, and not made from a puree or concentrate.Pure Noni juice is so easy to make it is puzzling why so few companies make the juice properly. Instead, they concoct complicated "formulas" or claim unique "footprints" or dilute it with water and other fruit juices. The most well-known brand of Noni juice in the USA, called Tahitian Noni, doesn't even make their Noni juice the way the people who live in Tahiti make it. Instead, they package the pulp in Tahiti, ship it to the US, and then add water and berry juice to restore it to a juice consistency. Then they sell it for an arm and a leg. Pretty good scam for them, but not good for the person who really needs Noni juice for their health. We HAVE 32oz BOTTLES FOR ONLY $20. 100% PURE HAWAIIAN NONI JUICE: no additives, preservatives, flavors, or dilutants of any kind.

Born in PHILADELPHIA PA. At age two my Great Grandmom took me to live in upstate NY (Town of Fallsburg). At age 9 I moved back to Philadelphia and stayed there until age 17. I then moved back to Upstate NY. Age 18, I graduated from Fallsburg High School. The folks I had started school with: I had actually graduated with them.I got a Scholarship to play women's basketball for Clarion University. I attended Clarion from '84-'88 and graduated with a BA in Sociology/Psychology.I started DJing in 1984. DJ Smooth of Monticello, NY, taught me how to put it down on the turntables. I DJed during my four years at college and after I graduated from Clarion University, I got 3 jobs (Social Worker in Nursing Home, Head Women's Basketball Coach at Sullivan County Community College, and I was the Resident DJ at Joe's Bar in South Fallsburg, NY). I spun there from '88 until '90 on Friday's and Saturday's. That is where my skill started to improve.I stopped DJing in 1990 to focus on my career, but soon I finally gave in to the turntables' call and began DJing, again, in 1996. I suffered a serious injury to both legs, so I had extra time. I started spinning again at a club (Mirage, formally know as The Down-Under) in Monticello. I soon had Friday nights on lock with the adult crowd, 21-40. Sullivan County wanted more, so I gave them more. I started spinning at the Salsa King Club on Saturday's. So, DJ Lisa Love had the weekend on lock for the partying adults in Sullivan County. I wanted more and the hunger got intense. I was able to transfer my career to Philadelphia. I returned home to see if I could make it as a DJ in the city of brotherly love.Tony Rome, along with Robert Bynum, gave me my first break in Philly. I had given him a mixed tape; he listened to it and hired me to do their anniversary party. It was a success and I had cracked open a door that would give me access to the folks I needed to meet. I went to Audio Engineer School in NE Phila and graduated in 2001. I became an assistant sound person for the club formerly known as Brave New World. Jeff Brown gave me that opportunity. While there, I always had a crate of records with me, "just-in-case" the DJ did not show. That opportunity came for me and Tia Hardy spoke to John Barber, convincing him to let me DJ that night. Although John did not want to take a chance with me (being female), there was no one else that night. I stepped up to the plate and hit a "home run". The crowd loved me and Tia had my back.From the day on I was part of John Barber's music family. I was "his" Female DJ. Tia started talking to the "Powers That Be" at Power 99 FM radio station and convinced them to give me a chance spinning on Tiffany Bacon's show, Inner City. I was a mixer for that show for about two years doing holiday weekends plus some extras in between. I also spun slow jams for Power 99's Golden Girl and was a guest on her show twice.My opportunity grew and I began to spin at events with performers as Faith Evans, Kenny Lattimore, Musiq, AAries, Carol Riddick, Jaguar Wright, Turae, Michael Blackson, Jeff Bradshaw, Cedrick the Entertainer, Kindred The Family Soul, and many more.Then about two years ago, I got involved with Girl's DJ, a community based program where we teach females how to actually DJ. I am a volunteer instructor. Kenny Johnson gave the recommendation for me and I was called and the rest is history. ( Check out the NJ Courier Post for the article on Tuesday, October 10, 2006.Returning to Philadelphia exposed me to some really kind-hearted folks whom I treasure as Family (Gladston Gordon, Tracey, Gina, Bern, and Reds, Tinker, John Barber, Tia Hardy, Carol "Riddick" & Kenny Johnson, Rashida and Carol of Girls DJ, Syreeta of Duafe Holistic Hair Care).I am blessed to have them as well as Tammy, Cynthia, Coach Black, Tangela, Conrada, Phoenix, Ms white, Joy, and Ann in my life.

Upstate NY Too many to name, so I just hit you with my music fam: (DJ Smooth, DJ King James - the Joint, Sergio MC, DJ Ali, Kut Smooth, Ozzie of Woodridge who taught me how to count those Beats per minute for records, Ham, for giving me my first public opportunity, and Adolf for giving me my first extended residency as a DJ).Lisa Denise Jackson (R.I.P.)

Courier-Post (Cherry Hill, NJ) Courier-Post (Cherry Hill, NJ)October 10, 2006 Female DJs are helping young women learn the skills to succeed in a field dominated by men Author: SHAWN RHEA Author: Courier-Post Section: B Page: 1A Estimated printed pages: 4 Article Text: Courier-Post Staff DJ Lisa Love has trouble remembering the name of the club where she first fell in love with the turntables, but she recalls the feeling as clearly as if it happened a moment ago. "I was 18, (living) in Upstate New York, and I used to go to this club and stand next to the booth and watch this one DJ named Dr. Smooth; I was fascinated," remembers Love. She spent the next several weekends inching closer to the DJ's booth, hoping to unlock the secret of working the turntables. Then a magical thing happened. "(Smooth) asked me if I wanted to learn," says Love. "He was a well-known DJ in the area, and he actually took time out to teach me." Love's mentor took a boot camp approach to teaching her the art of the "ones and twos" (turntable one, turntable two), drilling her in techniques such as cueing, blending, fading, scratching, back spinning and cutting. "I had no clue what I was doing, but he gave me the discipline (to improve)," says Love. "One of the first things he told me was, "You're not DJing for yourself; you're DJing for the crowd. You have to pay attention to how they're responding to the music so you can make sure they have a good time. You have to become one with the crowd.' " Now 40 and living in Philadelphia, Love has never lost her passion for becoming one with the crowd. She still DJs, and her work places her among the membership of a relatively small, unofficial sorority: the order of female DJs. Love credits that membership largely to luck -- to the fact that, as a young woman, she found a mentor willing to take her interest seriously. It's a break few females get, says Tia Hardy, a mix-CD producer and former host of Philadelphia's Power 99 radio station show Power Dome, which broadcast on-air DJ battles. "It's very hard to get women into (DJing), because you kind of have to get a big brother to bring you in and get you in the mix," says Hardy, 32. "The thought is like, a woman can't carry a crowd. I think a lot of times, women are underrated." While turntablists Grandmaster Flash, Kool DJ Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, Kid Capri and Funkmaster Flex are among a substantial list of men who've made not only worldwide names for themselves, but also substantial incomes DJing, the list of women who've managed such notoriety is short, says Hardy. She cites Spinderella (of Salt-N-Pepa fame) and DJ Jazzy Joyce (a worldwide DJ and mix-show host for New York City's Hot 97 radio station) among the only names most people can recognize beyond regional markets. But now, a number of area female DJs are making strides toward multiplying their ranks by teaching teen girls and women the art of DJing. Philly DJs share skills Three years ago Philadelphia-based DJs Carolyn Chernoff (aka Miss Meow) and Rashida Holmes (aka DJ Giggles) launched the Girls' DJ Collective, a loosely affiliated group of women DJs who teach DJing boot camp classes for women and 10-week courses for teen girls. Love is among the women the duo taps to regularly teach classes. Like Love, Chernoff, 30, also learned how to work the turntables under the tutelage of a man. She first started spinning records as an on-air DJ at her college radio station in Amherst, Mass. Then her friend Brian Glover began teaching her the finer techniques of DJing, and Chernoff started spinning parties. Locally, she's worked the turntables at Philadelphia nightclubs The Khyber and Tritone. "As a DJ, I'm a bit of a genre bender," says Chernoff, who mixes everything from hip-hop to punk rock, DC go-go, country and rock-steady grooves. In her home on a recent Thursday morning, Chernoff blended the bass-heavy funk grooves of Isaac Hayes' "Theme from Shaft" with the hyperactive harmonica playing of Johnny Puleo. Later, she mixed the horns of Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass Band with the driving percussive of Pitbull's "Toma" featuring rapper Lil Jon. "One reason Rashida and I started Girls DJ is because when I was doing domestic violence work in Chicago, I'd hang out with girls who'd tell me, "I went to this party over the weekend, and my brother DJed (or), my cousin DJed,' " Chernoff explains. "They knew a lot about music and had access to equipment, but when I asked, "Have you ever thought about spinning?' they'd say, "That's not my thing; I'd rather dance,' and that surprised me. I wondered if that was because popular culture makes DJing such a secret society?" Chernoff says she, Holmes, Love and others are hoping to show girls and women that membership into the society is a matter of learning the techniques, shoving aside the intimidation and hitting the wheels of steel. The classes teach how to set up equipment, how to work it technically and creatively and how to choose records. During the teen course, the girls take a trip to The Marvelous, a record and comic book store in Philadelphia, to select records for the start of their collection. Chernoff says she and Holmes have worked out a deal with the shop's owner where the girls can purchase 10 records for $1 during their first shopping trip. "We go over there with our crates and the girls learn how to choose music," said Chernoff. Music selection is key One key element of picking music is learning how to combine different genres to create a unique sound, says Chernoff. Also, if you don't like the lyrics or vocals on a particular cut, that's not a reason to totally discard it if it works in a mix, she adds. "We often get record donations where a lot of the lyrics are misogynistic," says Chernoff, who noted Girl's DJ Collective is all about empowering females to make their marks on a male-dominated art form. "We try not to say one type of music is the right music, but we do say to the girls, be aware and think about whether you want to play that in your set. Maybe you can mix that song's beats in with other songs. "We tell them, you can be a DJ with all the records and best equipment, but if you're a good DJ, you can play anything."
