A Look Back | The ImageMakers & Influencers Magazine's 2020 Influencer Superstars



Wow, what a difference a year makes…

In January 2020, we established this online magazine with the goal of inspiring, encouraging, mentoring and entertaining our readers.

In that spirit, we started our monthly features about Influencer [in the sense of role models] Superstars and we are happy to once again present them here because these amazing individuals deserve another spotlight.

We would like to thank all of our contributors who submitted compelling stories and articles adding value to people’s lives in one way or another.

During 2020, everything that wasn’t supposed to happen happened. That’s when resilient people call on their inner warriors and so we and our contributors did.

Read more about our 2020 Influencer Superstars below.


Our 2020 Influencer Superstars by Month



JANUARY 2020 - AMANDA MCDONOUGH


Actress, Author and Inspirational Speaker

“I don’t use the word ‘can’t’ because I don’t believe in limiting myself. I am able. I am capable. I am strong.

Never think less of yourself because society expects you to behave a certain way. We decide our own limits.

I have chosen to have none.”

-Amanda McDonough

JUNE 2020 - AYSHA SAEED

Read more about Aysha and how her high-touch client experiences and events became impossible to continue due to social distancing requirements when the mandated NYC lockdown forced Aysha to close her NYC studio, leading to a 95% revenue drop.

JULY 2020 - NICK CORDERO & AMANDA KLOOTS


Broadway actor Nick Cordero passed away on July 5, 2020 from complications of COVID-19 but not before putting up a heroic fight for his life with the loving and determined support of his wife Amanda Kloots. Tragically, they lost the battle. A beautiful life cut short by a terrible disease still terrorizing the world.

In 2018, while doing reviews of Broadway shows for the Hedonist Magazine, I was fortunate to experience Nick’s amazing on-stage talent in the musical A Bronx Tale. He was an amazing talent and the theater world will miss him dearly.

What is an Influencer Superstar?

Influencers aka role models can be people from all walks of life. They are known for outstanding achievement in overcoming difficult life situations, for exemplary acts of kindness and through their actions making the world a better place. They are people who have positively impacted or influenced other people. In other words: Superstars

These are the kind of people who deserve a spotlight and as such were named our Influencer Superstars in 2020.

2020 was a challenging year but that didn’t stop our Influencer Superstars to keep going and living their best life.

As for me, except for missing out on some amazing travel experiences, I personally can’t complain. My secret is that I always like to keep positive energy around me and to have a Plan B for everything.

I am looking forward to new adventures while creating life-changing and life-enhancing as well as entertaining content for you in the ImageMakers & Influencers Magazine which you can get by signing up for our free monthly Newsletter below.

Thank you for your time reading and sharing our articles. I wish you a happy and successful New Year and many more in good health and happiness.
