Our very special guests
MEET sonnie johnson
Sonnie Johnson is a dynamic and inspirational national speaker, Tea Party activist, and pundit.
Sonnie was formerly a host of Politichicks and is a regular contributor to Breitbart.com. She has appeared frequently on Fox News, including Hannity, and Red Eye, as well as Headline News.
Sonnie is a frequent speaker at conservative and Tea Party events, including CPAC, Tea Party Patriots, David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend, and many others.
Sonnie is the founder of “DidSheSayThat.com” where she provides cutting edge conservative commentary and opinion. Her strong and original voice on that site drew the attention of many conservative organizations, and she was soon introduced to the leaders of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, where she became the President of the Virginia chapter.
As President, she was offered numerous speaking engagements at Tea Party rallies and women’s conservative groups. Her first public speaking engagement was at the Roanoke Tea Party rally, where they called her the “star of the show.”
MEET Project Rook
Rook is a wholistic health and wellness coach who discovered the mind and body’s natural ability to heal itself while struggling with several “mystery” illnesses that conventional medicine couldn’t explain or remedy.
Her journey back to health revealed that illness is not our adversary after all, but instead a messenger sent to move us closer to the truth that the answers we’re all looking for are within.
Rook now teaches millennials how to connect the dots between an unhealthy body, a victim mindset and a life of suffering.
Rook’s message to the world is that every human can return to an illness and pain-free life by transforming how they eat and how they think, but the foundation for true healing must begin with a change in beliefs.

Food Experience
MEET CHEF Joel
As VP of Culinary and Executive Chef, Joel has more than 70 team members reporting to him. He is involved in every aspect of Ahern Hotel’s culinary activities, from planning and executing large banquet events, to creating new recipes for the Trattoria, to assisting in the kitchen as a cook or expediter on busy shifts.
“Now that I’m running a large team with many people, I’ve found that it’s very satisfying to teach eager minds some of the things I’ve learned over the years,” says Chef Joel. “I have nearly a decade and a half of learning from great chefs — trying, failing and eventually getting it right. That’s really the only way to truly understand and master a dish.”
Chef Joel spends as much time as he can with his wife Michelle, his two-year-old daughter Malia and his son Jaxon, born in September of 2022. “Having children has definitely changed me as a person and made me even more driven to succeed, but that success is defined differently,” said Chef Joel. “I want to provide well for my family, but also be present, and in this industry that can be a very difficult balance to strike.”
When he does get time to himself, Chef Joel is out enjoying Las Vegas’s beautiful natural surroundings — either kayaking out on Lake Mead and the Colorado River or hiking around Red Rock Canyon and Mt. Charleston.
