16 COVERS, 16 STORIES: TOK MAGAZINE CELEBRATES ONE YEAR OF BNI PLANNER WITH SPECIAL EDITION

TOK Entrepreneurship Magazine transforms the group's first anniversary into an editorial project that combines stories, print media, and audiovisual content to increase visibility, credibility, and trust in businesses. An evening can last a few hours. The visibility built from it can continue long after the last guest leaves. It was with this proposal that TOK Entrepreneurship Magazine celebrated the first anniversary of BNI Planner with a special edition consisting of 16 covers, bringing together different professional trajectories in a project focused on valuing the people behind the businesses. The 22nd Special Edition of TOK Entrepreneurship Magazine was launched on September 10th at the Terra dos Dinos Restaurant, in Park Shopping Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro. The book signing event brought together members of BNI Planner, businesspeople, guests, and communication professionals, with Kennya Vieira as master of ceremonies. But the initiative didn't end with the launch. In addition to the articles published in the magazine, the protagonists were interviewed by TV TOK Online for TOK de Eventos. The evening also featured the presence of professionals and media outlets, including Programa Geração Talento, Rádio Mais Foco, Rede Conecta TV, Última Hora Online, and Patrícia Lima, from Estúdio Podcast. The edition brought together stories from professionals in different fields: Érica Knaesel, Marcela Bruzzi, Cintia Azara, André Silva, Ricardo Freitas, Gabriel Cunha, Andreia Basílio, Andrea Rodrigues, Bárbara Ramos, Dr. Glauce Xavier and Dr. Priscilla Torres, who share one of the covers, Silvana Dutra, Leonardo Cunha, Luana Malfi, Mônica Figueira, Tâmara Carvalho, and Renata Borges. Among the names is Mônica Figueira herself, journalist, press officer, creator and CEO of the TOK Entrepreneurship Group, who for the first time became one of the cover personalities of the magazine she directs. WHEN THE EVENT ENDS, THE VISIBILITY CONTINUES The lights go out, the hall empties and the guests go home. But the story doesn't have to end there. The magazine continues to circulate. The report continues to be read. The interview continues to be watched. And the content continues to introduce professionals and businesses to new audiences.

Afoxé Relíquias Africanas announces theme for Salvador Carnival: “We are all children of Oxalá”

Afoxé Relíquias Africanas, a traditional guardian of African-based culture founded in 2002 in the Pirajá community in Salvador, Bahia, has defined its manifesto of peace, unity, and ancestry for the next Carnival. With the theme “We are all children of Oxalá,” the group will take to the streets a universal message of fraternity, tolerance, and respect, under the white mantle of the orixá of creation and peace. More than a festive celebration, this year's theme is a call for the union of peoples. It reinforces the afoxé's historical commitment to transforming Carnival into a territory for valuing Afro-Brazilian history and combating social divisions. During the parade, the Batatinha circuit, located in Pelourinho, in the Historic Center of Salvador, will be flooded by the rhythmic beat of Ijexá, the sacred rhythm that evokes ancestry and spreads vibrations of harmony. The presentation will feature lively sections, realistic costumes, and rich fantasies that narrate the trajectory and resistance of the Jejes, Nagôs, and Bantus peoples, now united under the message of Oxalá. With strong international appeal and a proven track record of prominence in media outlets in Latin America, the United States, and Europe, the bloco (carnival group) is consolidating itself as an unmissable artistic and performative experience for tourists from all over the world. It is worth highlighting that Relíquias Africanas doesn't just exist during the carnival days. The theme reflects the actions that the afoxé develops throughout the year, welcoming everyone from children to senior citizens through cultural workshops, meetings in the terreiros (religious spaces), conversation circles, capoeira, and participatory activities for the preservation of Afro music and dance. "We warmly invite all Bahians and tourists to get to know our bloco (carnival group) up close and to be part of our plural and ancestral Carnival, where diversity meets the same beat of peace," urges the board of Afoxé Relíquias Africanas.

AFOXÉ FASHION PROJECT CONCLUDES ACTIVITIES WITH PARADE AND MANIFESTO FOR LIFE IN SALVADOR'S HISTORIC CENTER

In line with the Yellow September campaign for suicide prevention and the appreciation of life, the Afoxé Fashion: African Relics project will hold its Closing Parade on September 12th at 5 pm. The event combines the celebration of ancestral Afro-Brazilian aesthetics with an active manifesto in favor of mental health through the historic streets of Pelourinho, in Salvador. Throughout the route, participants will display posters with messages of acceptance and emotional support, transforming the parade into a large network of dialogue and community empathy. Phrases such as "Listening attentively is an act of love. Don't judge, just accept" and "Asking for support is a sign of strength, not weakness" will be part of the visual identity of the sections, reinforcing the importance of acceptance. The event marks the culmination of an initiative dedicated to preserving and disseminating the intangible heritage of Bahian culture through fashion and the traditional rhythms of the afoxé groups. With a scheduled departure from Rua das Laranjeiras, the procession will head towards Largo do Pelourinho, passing through emblematic streets such as Largo do Terreiro de Jesus, Rua das Portas do Carmo, and Rua Alfredo de Brito. The project organizers emphasize that Black cultural manifestations have historically functioned as collective structures of support and social strengthening, making the Historic Center the ideal setting for this invitation to the entire society. More than just watching a cultural parade, the presence of each person transforms into a collective embrace and a call for self-care, extending the gaze and acceptance both to oneself and to those who need support and care with their emotions. The project has the financial support of the State of Bahia, through the Secretariat of Culture, and the Federal Government. Event: Closing Procession - Afoxé Fashion: African Relics Date: September 12th Time: 5 PM Route: Departure from Rua das Laranjeiras to Largo do Pelourinho Admission: Free and open to the public.

Lika Andrade, Gal Andrade, and Úrsula Montes Bring the Strength of Tourism from the Maraú Peninsula to the Largest Tourism Fair in Latin America The strength, beauty, and tourism potential of Camamu Bay will be represented at ABAV Expo 2026, which takes place from September 30th to October 2nd at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo. Representing prominent businesses in the region will be entrepreneurs Lika Andrade and Gal Andrade, from Pousada Villa Mares, and Úrsula Montes, from Pousada Terra Mar Way. Considered one of the main showcases of Brazilian tourism, the 53rd edition of ABAV Expo returns to São Paulo after seven years and will bring together professionals, companies, and destinations from various countries. The expectation is for more than 2,000 brands, representatives from 34 countries, and an estimated audience of between 35,000 and 40,000 visitors. The participation of representatives from Camamu Bay reinforces the region's importance in the national tourism scene, presenting the market with experiences that combine hospitality, innovation, sustainability, appreciation of local culture, and positive impact. Lika Andrade, Gal Andrade, and Úrsula Montes are recognized for developing business models connected to new tourism trends, with proposals that value not only the visitor experience but also environmental preservation, community development, and the local economy. Among the representatives, Úrsula Montes also has a distinguished career in the social field. Recognized as a Tourism Ambassador in Bahia, she works to promote tourism combined with social responsibility and the appreciation of territories. She also received the title of Ambassador of Peace from the UN in recognition of her social work. The presence of these businesswomen at ABAV Expo 2026 therefore represents much more than the promotion of tourism ventures: it is an opportunity to show Brazil and the world Camamu Bay as a destination of experiences, sustainability, entrepreneurship, and social transformation.
