      <title>The New U Podcast Episode #18 - The long-awaited Makeup 102 has finally arrived, inviting listener beyond the basics and into the thoughtful, transformative world of professional makeup artistry!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The long-awaited Makeup 102 has finally arrived, inviting listener beyond the basics and into the thoughtful, transformative world of professional makeup artistry. Marcus Geeter dives deep into the essential dos and don’ts of caring for the skin, preparing the face, and building a polished look that feels as beautiful as it appears. He begins with the rule that should never be ignored: every successful application starts with a freshly cleansed face. From there, Marcus explores the importance of creating a smooth, hydrated canvas before the first touch of foundation, then reveals how carefully chosen products and deliberate techniques can help makeup blend more evenly, photograph beautifully, and remain fresh throughout the day.</p>
<p>Makeup 102 is more than a collection of beauty techniques. Marcus also opens the door to the demanding, deeply personal world behind the brush, sharing stories from his journey as a professional makeup artist. He reflects on the discipline required to master the craft, the pressure of creating under tight timelines, the challenge of understanding each client’s vision, and the resilience needed to continue growing in an industry that is constantly changing. His experiences reveal that makeup artistry is not simply about products and color—it is about trust, preparation, adaptability, and the ability to help someone step into an important moment feeling seen, confident, and fully themselves.</p>
<p>Along the way, Marcus pays tribute to the legends whose imagination, technique, and fearless creativity influenced his artistic voice and helped shape his career. Their impact appears not only in the looks he creates, but also in the standards he carries forward: respect for the skin, commitment to excellence, and a belief that every face tells a story worth honoring. Candid, instructive, and filled with hard-earned insight, Makeup 102 offers listeners a compelling look at both the artistry in front of the mirror and the determination behind it—proving that the most memorable transformations begin long before the makeup is applied.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>The New U Podcast Episode #17 - Marcus Geeter Goes Engages us with a Great Journey with Beauty Boss, and Philanthropist Deida Massey!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Deida Massey — Beauty Boss. Storyteller. Changemaker.

Deida K. Massey doesn’t just create unforgettable looks—she builds confidence, careers, and community. The Chicago native traded a paralegal career advocating for children for a bold move to Los Angeles in 2002, launching a path that would take her from beauty counters to major film and television sets 

The Glow-Up: From Chicago to the Big Screen
With talent, hustle, and a sharp eye for detail, Massey became a go-to artist across entertainment and fashion:
•	Fashion and culture: Music videos, editorials, commercials, runway shows, and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
•	
•	Film: Credits on Divergent, Widows, Candyman, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
•	
•	Television: Key Makeup Artist on NBC’s Chicago Fire for Seasons 7–8, following years as an additional regular.
•	
•	Celebrity artistry: A client list featuring Keke Palmer, Tichina Arnold, Dr. Maya Angelou, Kelly Rowland, Common, Ludacris, Michael Jordan, and artists at Oprah Winfrey’s 2005 Legends Ball Weekend IMDb.

Beauty With a Bigger Purpose
In 2004, Massey founded Reel Beauty, Inc., a nonprofit helping urban girls strengthen self-worth, confidence, and real-world skills through a 14-week Social S.T.E.A.M.® curriculum. The organization has mentored more than 2,000 girls in Chicago, and its work has traveled globally—including a Swahili adaptation at the Uzima Center in Mwanza, Tanzania.

She also channels that mission through Bixa Beauty, a social enterprise connecting beauty, entrepreneurship, and her expanding work in Africa.

More Than Makeup
Her beauty memoir, Face Values – The Foundation of Beauty, turns the spotlight inward, blending personal stories with reflections on confidence, identity, and self-worth.

Still Creating. Still Giving Back. Today, Massey continues to bring her artistry to film and television while growing ventures rooted in purpose. Whether she’s behind the camera or in the community, her signature remains the same: help people see—and own—their power.

The vibe: Deida Massey is a creative force who turned brushes, bold choices, and a heart for service into a career—and a movement.

Growing up on Chicago’s South Side, Erica Hubbard discovered the thrill of performing at just nine years old. Stage plays soon led to commercials for major brands, including McDonald’s, Noxzema, Reebok, Sears, and Kellogg's. She carried that drive into Columbia College Chicago, completing a Bachelor of Arts degree in only three years, with a major in Journalism and a minor in Theater.

Career Highlights
Hubbard launched her professional career behind the microphone with voice-over work before stepping into the spotlight as host of the Chicago children’s television show Up 'N Running on WPWR, a UPN affiliate. Her energetic work earned both a Regional Emmy and a Service To America Award from the National Association of Broadcasters. She soon made her mark on film in Save the Last Dance (2001), A Cinderella Story (2004), The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005), and Akeelah and the Bee (2006). Television brought even greater recognition through her standout roles as Cassandra “Cassie” Sutton on Lincoln Heights (2007–2009) and Kita Whitmore on BET’s Let's Stay Together (2011–2014). Her versatile résumé also includes voicing Abbey in The Replacements and appearances in CSI: Miami, Chicago Med, and Everybody Hates Chris.
Never content to stay in one lane, Hubbard expanded into producing with credits such as The Last Fall and Policies and Procedures, and she became a member of the Producers Guild of America. She continues to bring memorable characters to life, including Ernestine in BET Plus Network’s The Family Business: New Orleans.

Philanthropy
Beyond the screen, Hubbard channels her influence into creating opportunities for others. Through The Erica Hubbard Foundation, she mentors at-risk youth and provides scholarships, visiting schools, community centers, and churches to inspire children to stay in school and pursue promising futures. She also lends her support to organizations such as the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the American Heart Association.

      <title>The New U Podcast Episode #12 - Host Marcus Geeter digs deep with Ebony Haith - best known for appearing on Cycle 1 of America’s Next Top Model in 2003.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Ebony Haith — America’s Next Top Model Star and Advocate

Ebony Haith is best known for appearing on Cycle 1 of America’s Next Top Model in 2003, where she finished in 7th place. Haith grew up in a local beauty salon, where her grandmother instilled in her the belief that she was “Black and beautiful”. She was just 24 when she entered the competition, and her openness about being in a relationship with a woman made her the show’s first openly gay contestant.

On ANTM and Representation

Haith’s casting was a landmark moment for LGBTQ+ visibility on mainstream TV at the time. However, she later reflected that being outed in 2002 was risky and that the show’s production often steered her into a “narrative” of being an “angry” or “aggressive” Black woman. She says she felt pressured to “be still” rather than challenge that portrayal, and that the treatment — including criticism of her skin and hair texture — fed into that stereotype.  In one famous moment, she rolled her eyes during a prayer circle, which she later explained was a reaction to the narrative being pushed on her.

Post-ANTM Career

After the show, Haith signed with Downtown and Uptown Model Management and appeared in Esquire magazine, winning the 2007 “Hostess of the Year” award. She also posed for Height magazine in 2011 alongside Cycle 11 and 17 alum Sheena Sakai. In 2020, she clarified a mispronunciation of another contestant’s name on Instagram, showing her continued engagement with her audience.

Current Work and Advocacy

As of 2025, Haith is working on funding for a one-woman show. She has spoken publicly about the long time it took to heal from the misrepresentation she faced on ANTM, acknowledging that the show’s focus on ratings sometimes overshadowed fairness. She remains close to her partner, Ka, and continues to be active in public life. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

      <itunes:summary>Ebony Haith — America’s Next Top Model Star and Advocate

Ebony Haith is best known for appearing on Cycle 1 of America’s Next Top Model in 2003, where she finished in 7th place. Haith grew up in a local beauty salon, where her grandmother instilled in her the belief that she was “Black and beautiful”. She was just 24 when she entered the competition, and her openness about being in a relationship with a woman made her the show’s first openly gay contestant.

On ANTM and Representation

Haith’s casting was a landmark moment for LGBTQ+ visibility on mainstream TV at the time. However, she later reflected that being outed in 2002 was risky and that the show’s production often steered her into a “narrative” of being an “angry” or “aggressive” Black woman. She says she felt pressured to “be still” rather than challenge that portrayal, and that the treatment — including criticism of her skin and hair texture — fed into that stereotype.  In one famous moment, she rolled her eyes during a prayer circle, which she later explained was a reaction to the narrative being pushed on her.

Post-ANTM Career

After the show, Haith signed with Downtown and Uptown Model Management and appeared in Esquire magazine, winning the 2007 “Hostess of the Year” award. She also posed for Height magazine in 2011 alongside Cycle 11 and 17 alum Sheena Sakai. In 2020, she clarified a mispronunciation of another contestant’s name on Instagram, showing her continued engagement with her audience.

Current Work and Advocacy

As of 2025, Haith is working on funding for a one-woman show. She has spoken publicly about the long time it took to heal from the misrepresentation she faced on ANTM, acknowledging that the show’s focus on ratings sometimes overshadowed fairness. She remains close to her partner, Ka, and continues to be active in public life.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[The New U Podcast host, Marcus Geeter, welcomes his longtime friend and esteemed psychotherapist, Ms. Linda A. Hochfeld, to an inspiring conversation. Linda is more than a licensed mental health practitioner—she is a compassionate guide, dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and groups overcome life’s most difficult emotional, psychological, and behavioral challenges. Through her blend of talk therapy and evidence-based counseling, Linda empowers clients to manage mental health conditions, strengthen relationships, and discover renewed hope.

“My passion is people. When someone is brave enough to bare their soul in pursuit of a better life, I can’t help but feel deep compassion,” Linda shares. “While I am clinically astute, I offer warmth, objectivity, and a diverse perspective that truly resonates with those I serve.”

Licensed in both Illinois and Wisconsin, Linda’s experience spans working with victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence, substance abuse, and trauma. Before establishing her own practice, she made a difference in the lives of foster children, further deepening her understanding and empathy.

Linda’s expertise extends to working with traumatized youth—a true calling for her—as well as adults facing depression, anxiety, lifestyle transitions, and the lasting impact of abuse. She provides family and couples counseling, is EMDR-trained, and conducts assessments for those affected by immigration issues. Fluent in Spanish, Linda also offers specialized immigration evaluations.

Her unwavering commitment is evident: Linda makes herself available to her clients beyond regular hours, driven by a genuine calling to serve. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR, she crafts a holistic approach for lasting change.

Based in Waukegan, Illinois, Linda welcomes clients at her practice at 320 Grand Ave. If you’re seeking guidance, healing, or simply someone who truly cares, you can walk in or schedule an appointment by calling 773-415-3448.
