HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June 20, 2025 / EON Resources Inc. (NYSE American:EONR) (“EON” or the “Company”) is an independent upstream energy company with oil and gas properties in the Permian Basin. The Company announced today that EON Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EON Energy, LLC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) with WPP NM, L.L.C. and Northwest Central, L.L.C. (collectively the “Seller”) to acquire all of their respective interests in the South Justis Field located in the Permian Basin in Lea County, New Mexico.

The Company will exchange 1.0 million Class A common shares of the Company without any cash consideration or debt for EON Energy to acquire a 94% working interest in the South Justis Field. With the estimated $1.2 million in net annual cash flow, the transaction is expected to be accretive. The effective date of the acquisition is June 1, 2025.The transaction is expected to close June 20, 2025.

South Justis Field (“SJF” or “South Justis Field”) Profile:

• South Justis is currently producing 108 barrels of oil per day (“BOPD”) from 19 actively producing wells which adds $1.2 million in net cash flow annually with minimal impact to the G&A costs of the Company. We estimate that the production and related cash flow has the potential to double and triple within a year based upon the rate remaining idle wells in the South Justis Field can be returned to active production.

• The South Justis Field is located in Lea County, New Mexico in the Central Basin of the Permian Basin, the most prolific oil-producing region in the United States. The South Justis Field is located a short distance from our Grayburg-Jackson Field in Eddy County, New Mexico allowing for efficiencies of scale.

• Original Oil in Place (“OOIP”) was 210 million barrels of oil with 30 million barrels produced to date. EON Energy believes 15 million barrels of recoverable reserves can be developed with existing well recompletions and new well drilling.

• The property EON Energy is acquiring includes 5,360 leasehold acres with a total of 208 wells comprised of half being oil producing and the other half being water injection wells. There are 19 active oil producing wells.

• Producing zones in the South Justis Field are at a depth of 5,000 feet to 7,000 feet in the Glorietta, Blinebry, Tubb, Drinkard and Fusselman intervals.

• Approximate working interest acquired is 94% with a net revenue interest of 82%.

South Justis History and Planned Development:

• The initial production from the SJF in the 1960’s was 6,000 BOPD, indicating good potential for high primary production rates from recompletions into untapped behind pipe pay zones, along with newly drilled wells.

• The South Justis Field historically has had a low decline rate curve. The South Justis Field produced a very steady 250 BOPD before wells went offline due to mechanical issues.

• Within the last three months, the Seller repaired and reactivated 6 wells to production adding 50 BOPD with minimal costs. This is EON Energy’s same strategy to increase South Justis oil production.

• The EON Energy team plans to return 30 wells this year to production with an expected average of 5-10 BOPD per well, yielding field wide production of 250 to 400 BOPD.

• EON Energy will combine lessons learned by the Seller and from the Company’s well stimulation experience in the Grayburg-Jackson field, to develop the SJF.

• Seller will operate SJF for the next few months for the benefit of EON Energy, with existing field employees transitioning to EON Energy.

“Step one in development of South Justis Field is to return idle wells to production to double oil production. Step two is to stimulate existing wellbores using the same techniques the Company successfully employs in our Grayburg Jackson Field,” said Dante Caravaggio, President and CEO of the Company. “We also plan to seek a drilling partner who will bring the necessary capital and expertise to develop the South Justis Field, with the same approach we are taking with our Grayburg Jackson Oil Field.”

“To help realize the South Justis Field potential, EON Energy has contracted with an affiliate of the Seller to provide an experienced workover crew and workover rig familiar with the SJF – the same team that already more than doubled South Justis oil production,” said Jesse Allen, Vice President of Operations for the Company. “As was done for our Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field, we plan to commission a 3rd party study to optimize our development of the South Justis Field. Our in-house technical team’s work gave us strong encouragement to purchase the field.”

About the Company’s Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field

LH Operating, LLC (“LHO”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, operates its holdings of oil and gas waterflood production comprising 13,700 contiguous leasehold acres, 342 producing wells and 207 injection wells situated on 20 federal and 3 state leases in the Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field in New Mexico. The Grayburg-Jackson Oil Field is located on the Northwest Shelf of the prolific Permian Basin in Eddy County, New Mexico.

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 20, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSXV:OGO)(OTC PINK:OGOFF) (“Organto” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that, as part of its efforts to reduce debt and increase equity in the Company, it has completed the previously announced settlement (the “Settlement“) of its 8.0% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due November 30, 2026 with an aggregate face value of C$8,050,000 (the “Debentures“) (see the Company’s news releases dated May 1, 2025, March 30, 2025, and March 11, 2025).

Under the terms of the Settlement, all outstanding Debentures (including all principal amounts and all accrued and unpaid interest owing thereunder) were exchanged for the issuance by the Company of an aggregate of 40,250,000 common shares of the Company (the “Settlement Shares“) at an issue price of $0.20 per Settlement Share for an aggregate issue price of $8,050,000. Each Debenture holder received the number of Settlement Shares that is equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures held by such Debenture holder divided by $0.20.

The Settlement Shares are subject to contractual restrictions on transfer whereby such shares will be released over a 30-month period from June 11, 2025, being the date of issuance of the Settlement Shares (the “Issue Date“) as follows:

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 21 months following the Issue Date;

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 24 months following the Issue Date;

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 27 months following the Issue Date; and

• 25% of the Settlement Shares will be released on the date that is 30 months following the Issue Date.

Steve Bromley, Chair and CEO commented “We are extremely pleased to complete the settlement of the Debentures, which aligns with our efforts to reduce debt and increase equity in the Company. Following this Settlement, the Company has approximately C$2.6 million of debt outstanding, and when combined with the recent completion of our $5.3 million private placement and our record first quarter 2025 financial results, we are truly excited by our future prospects. We remain intently committed to building a world-class foods company serving growing healthy foods markets, with the goal of creating long-term value for our operating partners, customers, team members and shareholders. We appreciate the support and understanding we have received from so many of our shareholders, debenture holders and key operating partners and are confident that we are well positioned for a successful future.”

Prior to completion of the Settlement, Debenture holders representing 68.89% of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures provided written consent in favor of a resolution approving the Settlement, which exceeded the 66.7% threshold required under the trust indenture governing the Debentures. As a result, a meeting of Debenture holders to approve the Settlement was not necessary.

In accordance with the terms of a Corporate Finance Advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement“) between the Company and Jaluca Limited (“Jaluca“), the Company retained Jaluca to provide guidance and assistance in negotiating and implementing the overall restructuring of the Company, including the reduction of the Company’s substantial debts and refinancing (see news release dated March 20, 2025). As disclosed in the Company’s March 20, 2025 news release the Advisory Agreement provided for the payment of various fees, including a monthly fee and success-based fees. For its assistance in negotiating and implementing the Debenture restructuring and settlement, the Company agreed, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“)and disinterested shareholder approval in accordance with the policies of the TSXV, to pay Jaluca a fee equal to 6% of the total amount of settled Debentures, excluding any Debentures held by Jaluca (the “Fee“). As a result, the Company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 4,380,000 common shares in the capital of the Company at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share in full payment of this obligation. The Company plans to immediately seek shareholder approval for the issuance of these common shares.

NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Summer is a season of transformation: a time to reflect, reset, and rediscover what truly matters. For readers seeking meaning beyond productivity or surface-level success, The Opposite of Empty offers a much-needed invitation inward.

The Opposite of Empty, published by Landon Hail Press, reached bestseller on Amazon in categories including Family & Personal Growth, Women’s Spirituality, and Personal transformation & Spirituality. Book cover design by Rich Johnson of Spectacle Photography. Creative direction and styling by Samantha Joy.

Written by mental health professional and transformation coach Izabela Oquendo, The Opposite of Empty is a bestselling guide for women who are ready to stop performing and start living with boldness, authenticity, and purpose. Through a signature framework called The Purpose Activation Blueprint, Oquendo leads readers through seven core elements that illuminate their needs, values, strengths, and desires. Helping trade emotional exhaustion for alignment and clarity, the Purpose Activation Blueprint is a tool Oquendo developed while navigating her own personal turmoil.

Trailer caption: Creative direction and styling, Samantha Joy. Hair Sam KM, makeup Heath Baker.

The book – part memoir, part self-help guide – was born from Izabela’s own story of rupture and renewal. In the span of two years, Oquendo lost her father, reconciled with family, experienced a major fissure in year long friendships, sold everything she owned, and moved her family across the world to start again. She journaled through every step of that transformation. The tools and reflections that helped Oquendo through her dark night of the soul have now become a blueprint for reconnecting with your truth, even when life feels like it’s unraveling.

“I wrote this book for the woman who feels suffocated by the life she once strived for,” says Oquendo. “There are so many indicators of success that society trains us to look for, but there is only one that actually matters: freedom.”

Izabela Oquendo is a mental health professional, speaker, and transformation coach who helps women break free from fear and realign with their purpose. She is the creator of The Purpose Activation Blueprint and founder of The Mindful Waypoint, a platform dedicated to helping women manifest success through alignment. Originally from the U.S., she now lives in Spain with her husband and two children.

Paired with the companion title, The Purpose Activation Blueprint Workbook, offers a completely interactive experience. Each chapter includes reflection prompts that help readers identify what’s no longer working and begin crafting a new vision for their lives. While the workbook is available for purchase, Oquendo notes that readers can also follow along using a blank journal.

“The Opposite of Empty is a blueprint for the woman seeking more out of life,” explains Oquendo. “I can tell you from experience that once you find your purpose and live by it authentically, the life you dream of magically unfolds before your eyes.”

From navigating grief and strained friendships to unpacking people-pleasing and burnout, The Opposite of Empty is both a call to courage and a practical tool for transformation. At its heart, it’s about reminding women that they already have the answers, they simply need the space and support to find them.

“The Opposite of Empty is not your typical self-help book,” shares Samantha Joy, Editor-in-Chief of LHP. “It’s a roadmap for those seeking their true purpose by way of important (often left out) areas of life including healing your inner child, building true and lasting friendships, and taking risks that seem illogical to most.”

Dedicated to creating a sacred and transparent space for writers, Landon Hail Press allows authors to own the creative direction of their book and their brand. LHP books have been sold on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, bookshop.org, and more, and featured in major publications like People.com.

DJ Benny Benassi, Artist Pietro Terzini, Performer Clara and More Than 1,500 Guests Celebrate 135 Years

FLORENCE, ITALY, AND WEST PALM BEACH, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / U.S. Polo Assn., the official brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), celebrated its remarkable 135-year legacy at Pitti Uomo 108 with an unforgettable week of style, sport, art and music. From the debut of the vibrant Spring-Summer 2026 Collection to a star-studded anniversary celebration at Florence’s iconic Santa Maria Novella, the brand brought the sport of polo’s heritage and modern energy to life on one of the world’s most prestigious fashion stages.

A Night to Remember: ‘Play for the Moment, Live for the Legacy’

On the evening of June 18, more than 1,500 international guests gathered in the breathtaking Chiostro Grande of the historic Complesso di Santa Maria Novella for an invitation-only anniversary celebration that will long be remembered. Hosted by acclaimed Italian actor Roberto Ciufoli, the event was a sensory journey through the sport and brand’s authentic 135-year story.

Italian music star Clara soon captivated the crowd with a stunning live vocal performance, delivering a set filled with beauty, style, and emotion. Her stage presence matched the elegance of the evening and set the tone for the grand finale. When global DJ legend Benny Benassi took to the turntables, the cloister was transformed into a pulsating open-air dance floor, with an after party of over 1,000 guests celebrating under the stars well into the night.

Immersive Art, Heritage, and Vision

The atmosphere was enhanced by a massive, monumental timeline of the U.S. Polo Assn. brand’s past and present, projected along the centuries-old walls of Santa Maria Novella. From 1890 to 2025, the visual depiction told the story of the sport of polo’s evolution and the brand’s growth into a multi-billion-dollar global fashion powerhouse.

The event’s creative heart came from two visionary artists. Luca Agnani brought immersive mapping effects to the architecture of the cloister, while Pietro Terzini–known for his poetic commentary on pop culture and brand identity–debuted a custom visual installation that blended U.S. Polo Assn.’s sport heritage with his signature textual style. His clever, minimalist expressions on legacy, fashion, and time left a lasting impression and underscored the evening’s message: heritage can be both honored and reimagined.

Celebrating the Moment, Building the Future

“This was more than a trade show–it was a global celebration of U.S. Polo Assn.’s legacy, culture, and future,” said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar global U.S. Polo Assn. brand. “To be part of such an experiential and exciting event set amid the creative energy of Florence–with our amazing partners and team–was simply extraordinary.”

“It’s a powerful reflection of sport-inspired legacy and the bright future of our global brand,” he added.

Lorenzo Nencini, President of Incom S.p.A. and a member of the Pitti Immagine Board, explained, “To bring our 135th Anniversary to life here in Florence was an honor beyond words. The success of our showing at Pitti Uomo alongside our celebration featuring Pietro Terzini, Clara, and Benny Benassi’s finale made this a cultural moment, and an unforgettable experience for those who support U.S. Polo Assn.”

A Booth Experience That Stole the Show

Located at Booth 32 in the Cavaniglia Pavilion, U.S. Polo Assn.’s presence at Pitti Uomo from June 17-20 was nothing short of iconic. The space featured a massive 30-foot video screen showcasing brand history and campaign highlights, a curated product collage wall, an elegant champagne bar, models dressed in the latest collection, a celebrity-worthy step-and-repeat, and striking life-size 3-D “135” numerals commemorating the anniversary. The immersive design created an energetic atmosphere that invited trade visitors, influencers, and media to engage with the brand’s past, present, and future. Surprise guests to the booth included Pietro Terzini, Clara, Roberto Ciufoli, as well as Olympic swimming athlete Luca Dotto, which drew hundreds of media, guests, fans and influencers to ‘meet and greet’ with U.S. Polo Assn.

Each of U.S. Polo Assn.’s Italian licensees were on hand to present their latest collections and reinforce the strength of this strategic partnership:

Incom S.p.A. showcased the full men’s and women’s apparel collections, including refined tailoring, bold color palettes, and classic sport-inspired designs for Spring-Summer 2026.

Bonis S.p.A. introduced sleek, sport-casual footwear that blends performance function with lifestyle aesthetics, ideal for the modern global consumer.

EastLab S.r.l. impressed with a contemporary accessories line, including bags, and leather goods crafted with premium materials and polo-inspired detail.

EuroTrade S.r.l. presented the newest in watches and jewelry, combining classic American sensibilities with Italian craftsmanship and innovation.

A Week to Remember

“U.S. Polo Assn.’s 135th Anniversary represents more than a milestone–it is a celebration of legacy, identity, and enduring style, “said Antonio De Matteis, President of Pitti Immagine.“To mark such a prestigious moment here in Florence–where tradition and innovation meet–is especially meaningful. The evening at Santa Maria Novella was not only a tribute to the brand’s storied heritage in the sport of polo but also a vivid expression of its global energy and future vision. We were honored to welcome U.S. Polo Assn. back to Pitti Uomo, where fashion, culture, art and music come together on an international stage.”

The brand’s presence at Pitti Uomo resonated strongly with international fans, consumers and influencers, reaffirming U.S. Polo Assn.’s unique position as a global fashion brand authentically connected to the sport. The 135th Anniversary celebration in Florence not only honored the brand’s illustrious sport history but inspired the future and the birthright of Born to Play.

“From our immersive booth experience to our remarkable celebration at Santa Maria Novella, this week was a tribute to the legacy of U.S. Polo Assn.–rooted in the sport of polo and built for the next generation,” Prince added.

MADISON, SD / ACCESS Newswire / June 19, 2025 / Global Polymer, a leading innovator in polymer manufacturing, has unveiled a proprietary new method for custom-molding Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), setting a new industry standard in what is possible with this high-performance material.

Traditionally, UHMW-PE is supplied in sheet form and then fabricated, limiting the design flexibility available to engineers and manufacturers. Global Polymer’s breakthrough process enables the company to custom mold UHMW-PE into complex, high-strength components with varying thicknesses and integrated features, giving OEM companies across various industries new freedom to design for performance, durability, and cost efficiency.

“UHMW-PE is already a game-changing material-offering self-lubricating properties, extreme durability, and resilience across temperature fluctuations,” said Todd Huntimer, President for Global Polymer Industries. “Now, with our proprietary molding technology, we are opening up an entirely new world of design possibilities. We can mold in fasteners, metal inserts, variable wall thicknesses, and geometries that were previously impossible with traditional fabrication methods.”

The new capability is already transforming applications in industries such as:

• Forestry Equipment

• Car Wash Systems

• Marine & Dock Applications

• Sewer & Wastewater

• Food Processing

• Transportation & Material Handling

• Agriculture

• Oil & Gas

• Mining

• Manufacturing

With Global Polymer’s technology, engineers can now specify molded UHMW-PE components that perform better, last longer, and simplify assembly without sacrificing the inherent advantages of this versatile polymer.

“This is more than a materials innovation,” added Huntimer. “It’s a manufacturing revolution. We are enabling OEMs to achieve part consolidation, lightweighting, corrosion resistance, and extended wear life with a single custom-molded component.”

The company is actively working with OEM partners to develop custom UHMW-PE solutions that deliver tangible performance and cost benefits.

About Global Polymer
Global Polymer is a leading manufacturer specializing in innovative UHMW-PE solutions for demanding applications across a wide range of industries. With its proprietary compression molding technology, the company is redefining what is possible with UHMW-PE-providing engineered components that outperform traditional materials.

BEVERLY HILLS, CA / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2025 / World-renowned spinal neurosurgeon and motion preservation expert Dr. Todd H. Lanman will join an elite international faculty at the Total Disc Arthroplasty Masterclass in Amsterdam on June 20, 2025. Dr. Lanman will deliver a series of educational presentations and case-based discussions on the expanding indications for total disc replacement (TDR)-including highly complex cases.

Dr. Lanman, founder of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery and ADR Spine, will present on challenging lumbar and cervical disc arthroplasty cases, including those involving multilevel degeneration, prior fusions, or advanced pathology. His contributions will spotlight evolving strategies that broaden candidacy for motion-preserving surgery-particularly for patients once limited to spinal fusion. He will also participate in a faculty-led panel discussing revision strategies and clinical decision-making in difficult and multi-level cases.

“We are forging the new age of spinal surgery,” said Dr. Lanman. “With the right technology and expertise, we can now offer motion-preserving solutions to patients who were never considered candidates for disc replacement-patients with prior fusions, complex anatomies, or multilevel disease.”

The Masterclass begins on June 19, 2025, with a dinner and pre-conference case discussions, followed by a full day of expert-led lectures and panels on June 20 at the nhow Amsterdam RAI Hotel. Dr. Todd Lanman will join a distinguished international faculty that includes Dr. Scott Blumenthal (Texas Back Institute), Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli (Pro-Spine ECSA, Germany), Dr. Thierry Marnay (CCV Montpellier, France), and Prof. Matthew Scott-Young (Gold Coast Spine, Australia).

Dr. Thierry Marnay will deliver a keynote lecture entitled “What Gives? Why are Spine Surgeons So Far Behind Total Joint Surgeons?” addressing systemic, cultural, and clinical barriers to wider adoption of disc arthroplasty. He will also co-lead participant case discussions, contribute to the session on advanced lumbar case reviews, and serve on the expert faculty panel for complex cervical case analysis

Prof. Matthew Scott-Young will open the Masterclass with a program overview and contribute to case discussions throughout the event. His formal lectures will address cervical disc indications, including motion preservation versus ACDF, and provide an in-depth analysis of cervical disc designs, covering implant materials, mechanical philosophy, and evolving technologies such as fixed versus mobile cores.

Prof. Dr. Rudolf Bertagnoli will present on lumbar complications and revision surgery strategies, including case examples highlighting surgical decision-making in complex revision scenarios. He will also lead sessions on optimizing surgical technique for multilevel cervical arthroplasty and challenging anatomy and participate in interactive discussions on complex cervical cases and disc selection considerations by spinal level.

Dr. Scott Blumenthal will deliver a foundational lecture on lumbar disc arthroplasty, focusing on indications, patient selection, and clinical evidence, as well as considerations for when fusion may still be relevant. He will also lead case discussions on lumbar pathology, and present strategies for cervical revision surgery and participate in the final panel addressing the future of disc arthroplasty.

The Masterclass underscores a growing international consensus that spinal fusion should no longer be the default solution for degenerative disc disease and that total disc arthroplasty is both viable and preferable in an expanding range of cases.

About Dr. Todd H. Lanman

Dr. Todd H. Lanman is a globally recognized spinal neurosurgeon, thought leader, and innovator in motion-preserving spine surgery. With over three decades of clinical experience and more than 25 years in practice in Beverly Hills, he is the founder of Lanman Spinal Neurosurgery and ADR Spine.

Why Evrima Chicago is Pioneering A11y, Cybersec & Reputation Management for an Aging Digital World

NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 18, 2025 / In a world increasingly dependent on digital access – where aging populations are growing alongside rising cyber threats – Evrima Chicago has positioned itself as a vanguard. Its mission is clear: protect, empower, and elevate older adults and ultra-visible individuals navigating a chaotic digital landscape.

Whether it’s defending a Nobel Peace Prize laureate from impersonation scams, equipping a forensic psychiatrist with secure communications, or ensuring a Pentagon official’s reputation remains intact through a hostile media cycle – Evrima operates at the cutting edge of accessibility, cybersecurity, and elite reputation management.

The Gray Net: Where Aging Meets Digital Vulnerability

By 2050, the global senior population is projected to exceed 2 billion, and the so-called “silver economy” is expected to grow beyond $15 trillion. Despite this staggering market, mainstream tech and cybersecurity firms still under-serve older adults.

That’s where Evrima Chicago steps in. Based in Naperville, Illinois, this firm isn’t just building tools – it’s designing dignity. With assistive technology spanning screen readers, voice-command systems, and immersive virtual reality experiences, Evrima ensures digital inclusion for seniors and individuals with special needs. Accessibility – or A11y – isn’t a feature. It’s their foundation.

When Cybercrime Crosses Generational Lines

Older adults lost more than $3.4 billion to cybercrime in 2023, with the most at-risk individuals including not just everyday retirees – but aging professionals such as lawyers, doctors, and former intelligence officers. These individuals require a new kind of protection: stealth-class cyber defense.

Evrima combats these threats with military-grade protocols, behavioral threat modeling, and deep reputational shielding. These tools protect not only sensitive data but entire digital identities – ensuring clients maintain control over their legacy, their public image, and their Google footprint.

Digital Armor for the Ultra-Visible

High-profile individuals don’t just need public relations – they need precision digital control. One deepfake, misquote, or misinformation campaign can derail a lifetime of credibility.

Evrima Chicago offers “reputation sovereignty” by managing Knowledge Panels, Wikipedia entries, and search visibility – well before crises emerge.

Whether it’s a bestselling author, a reclusive investor, or a national figure preparing for confirmation hearings, Evrima’s team ensures the digital battlefield is secured in advance.

Journalism Without Strings: The Evrima Newsroom Model

Unlike most PR firms, Evrima Chicago operates a bias-free, ad-free newsroom. This editorial independence ensures that clients are featured in credible, citation-ready content – no pay-to-play gimmicks, no vanity press.

Their publishing model delivers real authority. With data-backed storytelling and syndication-ready releases, policy influencers and public figures can shape their digital narrative proactively, not reactively.

The Evrima Ethos: Serve the Person, Secure the Legacy

Evrima Chicago isn’t just building technology – it’s building trust in an era where both are in short supply. From octogenarian activists to billionaires in the twilight of their careers, the firm delivers services designed for an aging digital elite.

This is not public relations as usual.
This is cyber guardianship.
This is reputation sovereignty.
This is the future of digital dignity.

Glossary

Assistive Technology (AT): Tools that help individuals with disabilities or age-related limitations live independently – such as screen readers, VR mobility simulations, and adaptive input devices.

A11y: A numeronym for “accessibility” (A + 11 letters + Y), emphasizing inclusive design for users of all ages and abilities.

UHNW: Ultra-high-net-worth individuals with over $30 million in assets, who frequently face heightened cybersecurity and reputational risks.

At Evrima Chicago, the mission is simple but essential:

“A safer, more inclusive digital world – one elder, one executive, one encrypted connection at a time.”

Who is Waa Say?

Waa Say is the caffeinated compass of the Evrima Chicago newsroom – its Editor-in-Chief, chief mischief-maker, and occasional fire extinguisher when headlines get too hot to handle. With a pen sharper than a Senate filibuster and a filing cabinet full of Post-it provocations, Waa Say doesn’t just write stories – he orchestrates editorial ambushes on mediocrity. Working closely with Chicago Bureau Chief Mr. Ovais Riaz, he steers coverage with a blend of literary flair and old-school newsroom grit.

In an America where politics feels like reality TV with fewer writers and worse wardrobe choices, Waa Say finds clarity in chaos. He’s the guy who’ll quote both Baldwin and Bugs Bunny before a deadline, reminding readers that truth needs teeth-and sometimes a punchline.
