Happy 4th July! Or is it? 

My first memory of the Bicentennial Day celebrations was July 4, 1976. It was a time of joy, pleasure, happiness  and pride in America

* I had just arrived from South Africa to forge a new career in theatre, never thinking that my life would take a  different trajectory into the exciting world of Beauty & Fragrance 

This July seems a lot less ‘celebratory’ than previous years  

because the world has changed. Thanks to: 

Pandemic 

Ukraine/Russian conflict; 

Overturning Roe v Wade 

Jan 6 Insurrection 

Mass shootings in the USA in the last 5 months 

 HOWEVER…… 

Even though we are going through tremendous division and upheavals in the USA one thing is still apparent. America is STILL the land of opportunity and people from all over the world gravitate towards this country. Millions of immigrants left their own homes to find something in our country not readily available in their own: an  opportunity to succeed. A large part of that success is defined by having a job. 

As evidence of this Eva Blaisdell, aka “Lady Rocket” originally from Poland is the epitome of a successful U.S. and  international entrepreneur and innovative contributor to Los Angeles and Santa Barbara’s youth community; a 3rd  generation Space Maverick, Founder CopernicSpace, Lady Rocket Media, former Silicon and international executive of  Fortune20 companies, who brings her vision, resources, and entrepreneurial experience from technology, real estate, Art,  Fashion, and Media to change the lives of the young generations on Earth and in Space 

She aspires to put the Human Face on the Space Industry by harnessing its incredible wealth, innovation, and potential of  Space, and refocus it on solving major challenges on Earth, including access to the Space economy for all, climate change,  and creating rapid development of communities by providing them unique access to Lady Rocket Foundation resources.  Lady Rocket was also a CEO of HP, Compaq Europe -Poland, and founder of prominent media and platform start-ups. 

She uses her passion and innovation, and unprecedented Space resources to make Art and Artist a prominent part of  Space and blockchain universe, including Lady Rocket’s NFTs. Her signature investments in art and Space include  unprecedented Art exhibits she created and produced during the actual launch of the SpaceX rocket launch from  Vandenberg Air Force base, featuring her collection of Space Mistral art by Pawel Szanajca. Her family has been engaged  in art and its collection for over 100 years while losing its art collection to the Soviets 

She is now leading the way by creating the gap between the world of Space and Technology and Art, Music, and Fashion  and brings them together in the most innovative ways. This includes, for example, her role as an Entrepreneur and  Investor estate. 

Another immigrant is Sue Phillips, Lady Rocket’s colleague, and global fragrance expert who has created fragrances for  iconic American and British companies: Tiffany& Co., Society by Burberrys, as well as A-list celebrities, Jamie Foxx, Katie  Holmes, Zendaya, Laurence Fishburne, the late Cicely Tyson, Susan Sarandon, Fortune 500 companies, thousands of  fragrance lovers, and will be collaborating with Lady Rocket to create the first Lady Rocket fragrance to go to the Moon  with NFT’s. 

This Independence Day celebration will be slightly less bright than in previous years, but the passion, commitment and  dedication to innovation, technology and making a difference continues to shine with space assets and ventures to  facilitate economic participation and growth in the most valuable market for life on earth. Happy Independence Day!
