Ravi Marwah, is a Hollis Queens, NY native and one of SolWave Collective’s trusted advisors. Named by Dr. Sebi’s eldest son (Asami Bowman) as a “Cosmo Therapist”, Ravi embraces that title with gratitude and works to uphold all that it encompasses. His journey as a healer moved quickly after an experience in LA in 2012 where he felt a physical and spiritual shift calling him to transition to a plant-based diet. He brought back the knowledge and influence to his family, friends, and communities. He continues to promote a plant-based lifestyle as healing medicine to those seeking spiritual counseling. To compliment this movement, Ravi received his Reiki training and attunement in 2016 & 2017 became a certified Kundalini Yoga Intrusctor. Long before than, Ravi has been hosting tea ceremonies for ultimate healing. More recently, he has been connecting with his ancestral roots and continues to study Filipino healing methodology. But his most important role is being a father to his four children. Their influence, as well as his entire family, has inspired him to move the collective forward.

Don James Batalla is a Certified Sivananda Hatha Yoga Teacher and has devoted his practice and the teachings to spread the influence Yoga offers. In 2014 he stumbled upon an Ashram “Spiritual Community” and experienced an expanded awareness of his own consciousness. This one realization affirmed a great number of questions about his purpose.The experience of living in the Ashram became a deep inspiration to bring this awareness to his friends and family. The Yogis state that the only way to change society is like changing a cotton shirt into silk , by changing each thread. Through the teachings of Yoga , the fabric of society is becoming more self aware and conscious of their dharma. It is Don James' life long goal to help cultivate a more peaceful planet.

ALESSEREVIL was founded by native New Yorker , Alejandro “AJ the Barber” Albano, born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island from Filipino immigrants. AJ grew up in the 1980’s and 1990’s during what some would call the “Golden Era” and spent most of his time in NY and New Jersey. Exposed to art and design from a young age, he was heavily influenced by fashion, lifestyle, sports and music - more specifically Hip Hop and Soul. Above all, his main influences are his family, Filipino culture and island roots. It is his belief that all things are connected, not necessarily good or bad but one in the same. Moved by this, he founded his streetwear brand “A Lesser Evil” (A.L.E) in 2007, a politically charged medium to express his controversial viewpoints and opinions with designs that promote fun and lightheartedness.A.L.E. (coincidentally the first 3 initials of his first name that he shares with his father) is also an attempt to empathize, have an alternative view, create from a place of abundance, understand and unify without preaching or forcing our beliefs onto others. Most of all, it is taking an oxymoron, applying it to daily life and connecting it to spirituality and the common man; To simply livebetter, be better and live less evil than we did yesterday, individually and collectively.AJ started cutting hair at the age of 13, practicing on his own hair. Not knowing what it would lead to, he is now a trusted and dedicated resident barber at Tuft NYC in the Lower East Side, fulfilling another life long passion and crucial part of his journey.

Universol Foods is a New York plant-based kitchen with native Filipino roots by PlantLab Culinary graduate Oliver Regis. He started the kitchen in the Summer of 2019 as a pop- up shop serving various types of savory platters and traditional sweets. His menu expanded every month and his services have now grown into catering events and food delivery. Universol can be dissected into three definitions. (Uni) for unity and togetherness, (Ver) comes from the Latin root word for truth, (Sol) for the sun and light energy. All which embodies the food offerings that are mindfully curated.

Oliver believes that so much of our culture lives in our food and that we should tap in and connect to that ancestral energy as much as we can. It can bring back childhood memories & echoes unforgettable experiences we have had with loved ones while enjoying the food. Whether it’s our sweet irresistible desserts, our famous lumpia or the party favorite pancit, we have something wholesome for everybody. The physical act of enjoying the food itself most likely lasts only minutes, but the memory linked to that food experience can last a lifetime.
