Trey Kennedy is a born and raised Oklahoman who never expected to enter the entertainment industry. While attending college at Oklahoma State University, Trey found fame on the mobile app Vine, amassing more than 2.5 million followers. He was a top creator on the app for more than three years and, through this experience, discovered a passion for entertainment.

Trey has now continued his social media success on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok where he has a combined 12+ million followers. He currently has a podcast titled “Correct Opinions” and just concluded a sold-out comedy tour selling out cities across the United States. Trey’s self-produced comedy special “Are You For Real?” can now be streamed on YouTube. He hopes to continue creating fun and relatable content in order to deliver some joy where it’s needed and help people find some common ground through comedy.

Every Sunday Modelface Comedy brings you the best stand up comedians from all over the country! This week we have Ginny Hogan from NYC!!!

Ginny Hogan is an NYC-based writer and stand up comic. She’s a contributor for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The Cut, The New York Times, Cosmopolitan, The Observer, McSweeney’s, The Daily Beast, Vulture, and Comedy Central. Forbes profiled her as a rising satire star, and she was on Paste’s list of top humorists.

In 2022, Chronicle Books published Ginny’s second humor collection I’M MORE DATEABLE THAN A PLATE OF REFRIED BEANS. Excerpts have been featured in the New Yorker, Bustle, and the Cut, and it was named a top Vulture humor book of 2022 and a New Yorker best book of 2022. She has a new book for Chronicle out Fall 2023.

In 2021, Ginny wrote Yes We Mustard, an Audible Original scripted comedy about a corrupt condiments tech startup. It was selected for their Best of 2021 list, and was rated their #1 comedy in 2021. You can listen here. She’s currently working on a new Audible project, the Great Indoors, due Fall 2023.

In 2019, Ginny published a book of humorous essays, Toxic Femininity in the Workplace, with HarperCollins, which was included on Vulture’s list of top 10 comedy books of 2019.

Ginny tweets what can only be described as “a reasonable amount” @ginnyhogan_. Her Twitter is the best way to find out where she’s doing stand up, what she’s writing, who she has a crush on, what she ate for breakfast, and perhaps the source of that rash. You can also subscribe to her monthly newsletter here.

The Reuter Family YMCA is one of seven local YMCAs operated by the YMCA of Western North Carolina, a nonprofit that strengthens local communities through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Founded in 1889, the YMCA of WNC engages more than 100,000 people – regardless of age, income, or background – to nurture the potential of children and teens, improve the region’s health and well being, and provide opportunities to give back and support the community. For more information, please visit ymcawnc.org.

Join them to celebrate a greener future for the Reuter Family YMCA! You’re invited to a ribbon cutting to mark the installation of solar panels on the facility roof. This project was made possible by YMCA members Pete and Pat Wallenborn. Their generous gift helps the Y take a significant step toward sustainability and demonstrates our commitment to environmental stewardship. The Wallenborns will be recognized at the event. Attendees include representatives from Sundance Solar, the YMCA, and the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce. Light refreshments will be served. Meet at the front entrance of the Reuter Family YMCA on the Biltmore Park side. In case of rain, the event will be held in the lobby.

Learn about moves made by the Obama administration that have led to a nascent but robust investment community online. And learn how SmallChange.co, a crowdfunding investment platform, has leveraged these rules to shake up the real estate industry big time. Eve Picker’s world is wrapped around cities and change. With a background as an architect, city planner, urban designer, real estate developer, community development strategist, publisher, and instigator, Eve has a rich understanding of how cities and urban neighborhoods work – and how they can be revitalized.

Small Change connects every day investors with developers to help them build projects that make cities better, and provides investment opportunities for everyone who cares about cities and wants to see positive change.
