Christine Curran - Tv Host

Christine Curran embodies her Spicy Diva personality to a Tee. She's the boss and if you cross her she might bite... or at least nibble.  Her attitude is a lot like her love for her favorite kind of food, Spicy! Her cocktail of choice is a "Dirty Martini extra Dirty". 

With a degree in Marketing & Advertising, Christine Curran has made quite a name for herself as a model, actress and tv host.  Her company, Ft Liquordale Entertainment Inc. has facilitated and executed countless events over the past 13 years and has booked over 800 models for runway, print, music videos and acting roles.

As a model, Christine has walked the runway at fashion shows, been featured in print magazines and as a spokesmodel for several companies.  Starting in 2008 some of her credits include guest hosting for several TV shows, international print ad for Sex Drive Energy Drink, State wide print ad for Harley Davidson in Bikes and Beauties Magazine, regional commercial for Broward Bar Hunter aired on Spike TV and contracted 2009/10 print model on billboards, benches and catalogs for La Di Da Lingerie.  

Her company, Ft Liquordale Entertainment was home to the famous Jelloshotgirlz, known from the Keys to Daytona Beach as the hottest interactive entertainment from 2009 - 2016.  The Jelloshotgirlz were featured on Jersey Shore and had two of their own reality tv shows, one on Miami TV and one called "Hot Shots Miami" on Break.com. They produced 6 themed calendars in their 7 year run sponsored by venues they worked at and accompanied by huge calendar release parties.

While booking talent, Christine also became on air talent, interviewing Celebrities and local businesses for VIP TV. Looking for more ways to bring in new viewers for her network and create more revenue, Christine created the VIP TV model search which was a huge success. With 50 models competing for 12 Miss VIP TV titles, sponsors, celebrity judges and over 450 VIP attendees, the show was a hit. She took the 12 winners to Bimini sponsored by Resort World Bimini Cruise line, for the first ever VIP TV calendar shoot.

Christine Curran then launched "On The Mic" featuring the hottest celebrity interviews and events. The show was produced by RedAv and was distributed nationally in 4 & 5 star hotels across the US in 2018 by Estream TV.

Her tv interview credits include sit downs with Scott Storch and Vanilla Ice. Curran has covered events such as Miss Universe interviewing Donald Trump, Lisa Vanderpump, and Jeannie Mai.  Her interviews range from iconic 80s superstars such as Brett Michaels and Tom Keifer to the infamous Miami Housewives such as Lisa Hochstein, Lea Black and Karent Sierra. Christine hammed it up on Halloween with reality stars Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth from the most watched reality series, The Bachelorette. She’s talked with Disney superstars Peyton List and Austin Mahone. The list of professional athletes she's interviewed stem from "Jon" Jay, Juan Gomes, Jeff Conine to Dennis Rodman, Howard Davis Jr, Bryant McKinnie and Fred Taylor. Of course you can't forget the superstars, Flo Rida, Christina Milian, Jonathan Cheban, Khandi Alexander, Amadou Ly, Coolio, Vanilla Ice, Omar Benson, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Trina and Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger.

Christine decided it was time to do something more creative with her tv production talents which led to “Dining Divas” in 2019, the hottest new restaurant review show to hit South Florida. It has a feel of Drive-ins, Diners and Drives meets the Housewives. It’s a reality tv style show that takes you to the hottest places to dine accompanied by your favorite local foodies and celebrities in South Florida.

Because “Everyone Wants To Dine Like A Diva”. Dining Divas was on the CW South Florida for 11 episodes with added distribution to Hawaii, Vegas and several OTT platforms. The Diva Dynasty brand is expanding with new verticals such as: Dining Divas Destinations slated to hit the Travel Channel beginning of 2023 and Dining Divas After Dark, a livestream cooking show that will be aired exclusively on their own app. Season 3 is airing end of 2022 on the WE Channel and the foodie lifestyle show is franchising to TX, CA and NY next.  Keep up with the constant evolution of DDtv at www.DiningDivas.tv

For 2023, her projects include the highly anticipated "Influential Model Awards" which is a Grammy style award show for female influencers that she is a partner and event host for. The IMAs are slated to take place July of 2023. www.ItstheIMAs.com.  

The IMA's is in partnership with the WEMP Token, a Women Empowerment cryptocurrency that will be used for this global event. WEMP also supports charities helping women and female entrepreneurs.  Christine is the founder of WEMP.  www.WEMPToken.com

Christine states that she has accomplished so much with these words to live by, “All I want is everything..being realistic is the most commonly traveled path to mediocrity.”   Dining Divas - Tv Host, Tv Show

Ana is an original OG of the Dining Divas team. Ana is known for having an exceptionally big appetite, and no amount of food is enough for her...she will lick her plate clean (and yours if you're not careful). Ana is especially fond of latin dishes, reflective of her heritage. Ana's favorite cocktail is a moscow mule because it strikes that elusive balance between zesty and sweet just like her!

Ana Maria Reyes is a bilingual, award-winning television host, lifestyle & entertainment reporter, and spokesperson. The South Florida native has been showcased on CBS, My 33, CW South Florida, The Beach Channel, VisitFlorida.com, Univision, The Miami Herald, Eye on South Florida, SoFlo Television, MundoMax, Tuff TV, Mega TV, iHeart Radio, and more.

Throughout her decade long career, Ana has been on the scene reporting at hundreds of world-renowned events, including the Golden Globes, the Toronto International Film Festival, the Billboard Latin Music Awards, and Art Basel. She has interviewed icons including the The Rolling Stones, Roberto Cavalli, and Phil Collins, and award winning actors, athletes, and influential figures such as Jamie Foxx, N*Sync, Jennifer Garner, Dwyane Wade, Giancarlo Stanton, Tom Ford, and Gerard Butler. Ana’s passion for journalism and her ability to connect with people and tell their stories effectively, has also led her to produce and host lifestyle segments and corporate videos for multiple media outlets and clients. One of her other greatest passions (aside from good food ;p), is helping people. Ana has volunteered and created content for numerous charities including Best Buddies, the Little Lighthouse Foundation, and The Boys and Girls Club, and even participated as a “Bachelorette” for the Make-A-Wish Southern Florida Dream Date Auction, to raise funds for the foundation.

Ana is Latin American (of Panamanian decent) and fluent in Spanish, which has allowed her to work as a correspondent and presenter in both languages. She has also been in several commercials and infomercials in both English and Spanish, including XFinity on Demand, Toyota, The Florida Lotto, Chevrolet, and Dish Latino.

She got her start in television anchoring and reporting at the University of Miami TV station, while earning her Bachelor of Science in Communication degree (with a double major in Broadcast Journalism and Psychology). She attained a paid internship at Univision Network, and her next job was at Clear Channel Radio (now iHeart Radio), where she enjoyed coordinating and executing promotions, writing radio copy and voicing commercial spots. This was followed by an entertainment-reporting job on CBS affiliate My33, and freelance hosting jobs on several TV programs and multimedia platforms. Ana truly loves what she does, and that love shines through in her work, as described by one of her talented DP’s:“Her sweet nature and scripting talent helps in bringing out a credible story of service and dedication from every staff member. Her experience in international culinary matters makes interviews with chefs a journey through flavor.”

Kavita Channe is back, at the Diva Dynasty where her Savory Diva skills really come into play. She's a master Rosé Connoisseur. Her diverse palette and background gives her a foodie advantage over most. She prefers caviar with her rosé especially in the Hamptons. 

Kavita Channe is known for her work as a sports and entertainment TV host and producer. A true multi-hyphenate, this TV personality, entrepreneur, philanthropist also counts becoming a mother as one of her greatest achievements and one of her biggest drivers to break barriers for women and minorities in both media and television.

As a London native with ancestry from India, Kavita moved to the US when she was five years old, bringing with her goals of creating, entertaining and performing within a competitive field. Realizing early on that her natural talent lay in front of the camera, she attended the University of Florida, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Journalism, Telecommunications and Business.

After graduating college, Channe launched
The Procurer, a luxury celebrity concierge, and marketing firm. Shortly after she was asked by a client to regularly interview celebs on the red carpet of his Miami venue. This led to TV presenting work, which evolved into national sports broadcasting, and celebrity hosting and entertainment she is known for today.

In 2011, Kavita created her own YouTube channel,
1stDownNDirty. With over 1.6 million views, she interviewed athletes and took viewers behind the scenes of the sports world. That led to an offer by Fox Sports in 2012 to cover nationally aired high school football games along with Florida Panthers broadcasts. Channe was also producing and hosting segments for VIP TV covering all things sports and celebrity in Florida.

By 2014, she had been recruited by the Jacksonville Jaguars to be their sideline reporter and was also added as a host on the all-female daily talk show The Chat on ABC and NBC in Jacksonville. Channe then went on to become the grid-side reporter for NPLG’s GRID (the world’s first co-ed professional sport) as well as cage-side for Titan FC on UFC.

Not only had she become a respected voice in the sports industry, being featured on Mantalk Radio, Fox Sports and many other radio programs nationally, but Channe also produced and hosted her own “Kavita Channe Special,” going one-on-one with sports stars airing on VIP TV.

Beyond sports broadcasting and journalism, Kavita has appeared on television in HBO’s Ballers, the Fox reality TV show Paradise Hotel, and VH1’s Baller Wives. She also worked as a featured correspondent in Designing Spaces on TLC. Kavita has also held roles in feature films, namely Broke: The New American Dream as well as CHECKPOST and Dependence, both by British filmmaker, Aneel Ahmad. 

Channe brings a dynamic energy to her many memorable speaking engagements, bringing her talents to the United States, South Africa, Singapore and beyond. She also frequently partners with nonprofits to lend her voice to reputable organizations including the American Heart Association, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Miami Diaper Bank, HANDY, American Red Cross, United Way and 211 Broward where she is a board member.

In the fall of 2017, Kavita launched Channé Rosé, a new rosé wine inspired by her travels in Provence. She was extremely hands-on in the process from conceptualization to the final product, and together with her winemaker Kavita was able to create an award-winning dry, crisp and clean rosé wine that pairs well with a multitude of dishes. Channé Rosé is sold in restaurants and retailers throughout Florida, Georgia, and New York, including Long Island & The Hamptons as well as online.

During this same time, Kavita gave birth to her daughter, Magical Micah, and soon after was asked to grace the cover of Mother & Baby Indiawith a 7-page spread about her experience with motherhood and business. She appeared on the cover again the following year with Micah and her new baby Maverick. Going back to her Indian roots, this was truly an honor for her and her family.

During the recent pandemic, Channe rebranded her youtube channel and launched The Channe Show where she goes one-on-one with weekly guests in many different industries
to talk health, parenting, fitness, sports and hot topics. And this past May, Kavita made the cover of Fort Lauderdale Illustrated with a 10-page spread featuring her award winning wine, entertaining at home and her next endeavor, The 7 Most Fascinating People of South Florida, a yearly TV special highlighting those changing the game in South Florida.

Kavita Channe brings diversity to an industry with her array of talents. Whether on the sidelines reporting for an NFL football team, wowing an audience of a morning talk show, or using her entrepreneurial skills to bring a new product to market, she is constantly using her talents to create new and exciting paths for her already inspiring career. There is no telling where her determination and drive will take her, but in quoting her own words “I DO NOT FEEL THAT I CHOSE MY CAREER...IT CHOSE ME.” If her past is any indication, Kavita Channe has only scratched the surface.

I began my career in retail. At the early age of sixteen, I was a supervisor of a local popular clothing store. From that moment, I knew I wanted to be in the business of helping people. 

Upon graduating from the prestigious Howard University with a degree in Hospitality Management, I accepted a managerial role with Marriott. For 8 years I’ve had several positions within the food & beverage space leading up to my last position with them as a Senior sales & events manager. After my departure, I went to the insurance industry and realized a desk job was not for me. I started my own hospitality consulting business Hospitality & More and sit on the Board of Directors for a non profit, Let’s Do Thiz Inc., an organization built to coach and empower minority woman through exploration and events. 

With hospitality being the key focus to my entrepreneurship ventures, I later was asked to join a e-commerce startup, JubiFoods (currently being built). Excited for what’s to come, I have no doubt my experience led me to the expansion of the many opportunities I have today. You can find the over 18K following of “Hospitality & More” on the Clubhouse app and also catch a coaching lesson on my YouTube channel AllwaysLaced Hospitality.

Connecting with people both through her finance roles and whiskey adventures, is what she enjoys the most. Bianca found a way to combine these two “worlds” by co-founding a whisky society in 2016. 

She has been a whiskey educator and event planner for over six years, leading whisky education and tasting events, this is why she is known as “The Scotch Girl”.  BeLatina.com best described that “the Scotch Girl is changing the face of whiskey-sipping, scotch-sniffing expertise. She’s a Latina who is on a mission, “breaking boundaries one dram at a time,” and helping others learn to appreciate the many complexities of whiskey with each sip. After all, whiskey and scotch are complex and multi-layered, just like Latinas. And this expert is ready to teach you everything she knows”.
