Jason Ladeira, REALTOR® at Compass (Greater Boston)

Boston, MA

Boston is Jason Ladeira's home market. A Massachusetts native from Westport, he co-leads the Livingston Group at Compass out of Hingham, working with buyers and sellers from the city itself down through the South Shore and out to the Cape. Recent sales run from a South Boston condo with a roof deck over the skyline, to a coastal cottage in Scituate, to a four bedroom colonial in Kingston, which is a fair picture of how wide his range runs. He is an openly gay agent and a NAGLREP member since 2019, a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ buyers and sellers, and he hosts monthly educational meetups on how the market actually works. Most of his clients arrive by referral and stay in touch long after the closing. Jason came to real estate after a career in corporate America, encouraged by Rhonda Livingston, who became his business partner and is still his closest collaborator. Ten years on, the two of them lead a team known for candor about pricing, careful marketing, and a pace set by the client rather than the calendar. He has been named to Real Trends America's Best Real Estate Agents and ranks among the top 1.5 percent of REALTORS® nationally. Across Greater Boston he handles residential sales and purchases, first time buyers, condominiums, luxury listings, investment property, rentals, and relocation. He also works the Chicago market, so anyone moving between the two cities gets the same agent on both ends of the move instead of a handoff to a stranger. Away from work he travels with his partner and is usually out somewhere in the city with their French Bulldog.

Jennivee's Bakery

Chicago, IL

At Jennivee's Bakery, we believe everyone deserves good cake. What started as one woman's lifelong love of baking has grown into one of Chicago's most welcoming sweet spots, tucked into the Lakeview neighborhood and open to absolutely everyone. Our founder, Jennivee, is a proud transgender Filipina baker who opened these doors in 2017 to share her confections and to build a space where the LGBTQ community and its allies always feel at home. We are proudly trans-owned, and that spirit of inclusion is baked into everything we do, from the people we welcome at the counter to the care we put into every order. Step inside and you will find cases full of temptations. We are known for our cakes and cupcakes, with more flavors than you can count, alongside brownies, bars, sweet rolls, cheesecakes, cookies, and fresh breakfast pastries. Filipino-inspired favorites like ube, mango, and tres leches sit right beside classic chocolate and vanilla, so there is something for every craving and every celebration. Need a custom cake for a birthday, wedding, or just because? We love turning your ideas into edible art. We are also one of the few bakeries in the city that keeps the lights on late. On weekends you can satisfy a midnight sweet tooth with us, because a good dessert should never have to wait until morning. Grab a cupcake and a coffee, settle in with friends, and enjoy the easy, friendly vibe our regulars rave about. Over the years we have been honored to share our story on television and to see neighbors, first-timers, and out-of-towners become part of our extended family. Every slice we serve carries the same message: you are welcome here, exactly as you are. So whether you are picking up a dozen cupcakes, ordering a showstopping custom cake, or simply popping in for a late-night treat, come indulge responsibly with us. We cannot wait to send you home a little sweeter than you arrived.

Belén de la Cruz Empanadas and Pastries

Atlanta, GA

Hi! I'm Belen de la Cruz, a passionate Argentinian mom and entrepreneur, and this is my story, our story. I grew up in Buenos Aires, where my mom set a beautiful table and cooked for our family every single day. I credit her amazing cooking and hospitality as my inspiration to prepare fresh, delicious food and to share the flavors and culture of my native Argentina. When I moved to Atlanta, GA, I obtained a Food Cottage license to sell my pastries and began teaching others how to prepare traditional Argentine recipes. My cooking lessons were a hit, and before long people were asking where they could buy my empanadas and baked goods. That is how the dream of Belen de la Cruz Empanadas and Pastries was born. With the support of my brother and the encouragement of my family, I opened our first location in February 2020 in Johns Creek. Opening day was a smashing success, with our empanadas selling out like hot, well, empanadas! Shortly after, Covid hit, and I will always be grateful for the community's support that carried me and my team through the pandemic. From there we kept growing, opening several locations around Georgia, including here in Atlanta, and expanding our wholesale and catering business. Not bad for a self-taught cook from Argentina. Everything we make is baked with love. Our Argentine empanadas are prepared with high-quality ingredients and no preservatives, with meat, chicken, cheese, vegetarian, and gluten-free options folded and pinched by hand. Alongside the empanadas you will find custom cakes made to order, traditional Argentine pastries, dulce de leche treats, and cheese and charcuterie boards perfect for sharing. We still teach the recipes that started it all, because passing on the flavors of Argentina is at the heart of what we do. I love our community of customers who continue to cheer for our small business, and I am proud that we have captured the spirit of sharing a satisfying meal with friends and family around a nicely set table, just like my mom used to do. We truly love to have you over. Come visit us, and taste a little piece of Buenos Aires right here in Atlanta.

MoKaBe's Coffeehouse

St. Louis, MO

We are MoKaBe's, South City's queer owned and operated coffeehouse, sitting at the corner of Arsenal and Grand right across from historic Tower Grove Park. For years we have been the kind of place where you can settle in for the whole afternoon, whether you are cramming for an exam, catching up with old friends, or just needing a warm mug and a window to watch the neighborhood go by. The rainbow flag out front is not decoration. It is a promise that everyone has a seat at our table. Our coffee is made with locally roasted Chauvin coffee, and we pour it every way we know how. Order a classic latte or cappuccino, try our house Flagstaff with espresso and coffee together, warm up with a London Fog or a chai, or cool off with a Vietnamese iced coffee, a specialty iced latte, or an ice cream shake or float. If you need a jolt, our Zinger and Mudslide have you covered. We serve breakfast and lunch daily, and we take real pride in feeding everybody. That means plenty of vegan and vegetarian options right alongside our heartier plates, plus a rotating case of delicious desserts for whenever you have earned a treat. Breakfast runs every morning until noon, so there is no rush to catch it. Comfort here is not just about the food. We are fully accessible, with ramps, seating, and restrooms designed so that getting in and getting settled is easy for everyone. Out back you will find our dog-friendly patio, because a good coffeehouse should welcome your whole crew, four legs included. More than a cafe, we have always thought of ourselves as a gathering place and a home for community. This corner of St. Louis has room for study groups, first dates, activists, artists, parents with strollers, and folks who just want somewhere kind to be. That spirit is baked into everything we do. Find us Tuesday through Sunday from 8 AM to 3 PM. We are closed on Mondays so our team can rest and come back ready to pour you something good. Stop in, grab a cup of Chauvin, and stay a while. You belong here.

Slutty Vegan

Slutty Vegan

Atlanta, GA

Slutty Vegan is the plant-based burger phenomenon that turned Atlanta into a vegan destination, and it all started with a food truck, a big personality, and an even bigger appetite. Founded by Pinky Cole, a Black woman entrepreneur who has become one of the most recognizable names in the food world, Slutty Vegan proves that eating vegan does not mean giving up on flavor, indulgence, or fun. The main Atlanta location sits at 476 Edgewood Ave SE in the heart of the Old Fourth Ward, where lines out the door have become part of the experience. The menu is unapologetically playful. Signature burgers like the One Night Stand, the Fussy Hussy, and the Sloppy Toppy stack plant-based patties with vegan cheese, caramelized onions, and the now-famous Slut Sauce, all tucked between soft, toasted buns. Add a side of Hooker Fries and you understand why people drive across state lines for a bite. Every order is made to feel like a celebration, and the cheeky names are just the beginning of the personality baked into this place. What makes Slutty Vegan more than a great burger is the woman behind it. Pinky Cole built the brand from the ground up, growing it from a single food truck into a multi-location movement with a loyal following and national recognition. She has been open about her journey, her setbacks, and her mission to bring healthier food to communities that are too often overlooked. That sense of purpose shows up in everything from the energy of the staff to the community events the brand supports through the Pinky Cole Foundation. Walking into the Edgewood location, you feel the vibe immediately. It is loud, joyful, and welcoming, with music, bold branding, and a crew that treats every guest like a regular. Whether you are a lifelong vegan, a curious first-timer, or a meat eater who just wants a genuinely great burger, Slutty Vegan meets you where you are and sends you home full. This is comfort food with attitude, built by an entrepreneur who bet on herself and won, and it has earned its place as one of Atlanta's must-visit spots.

Real Estate

Peter Aupperle

Bedford, NY

Peter Aupperle is a licensed real estate salesperson with Houlihan Lawrence in Bedford, New York, serving buyers and sellers throughout Westchester County. He brings an unusual and valuable combination to the work: the analytical discipline and deep empathy of a former healthcare professional, paired with real, lived experience as a property owner. Over the years Peter has personally owned and lived in more than a dozen properties, from single-family homes and townhomes to condominiums and rental units, many of them in Westchester itself. That first-hand experience means he understands the process from the client's side of the table. He knows what it feels like to weigh a big decision, to worry about the details, and to want a guide who listens carefully before offering advice. Peter serves the communities of northern and central Westchester, including Armonk, Bedford, Chappaqua, Katonah, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Pleasantville, Pound Ridge, Somers, South Salem and White Plains. Working under the Houlihan Lawrence banner gives his clients the reach and market data of one of the region's most established brokerages, while his personal approach keeps every transaction grounded and unhurried. His healthcare career shaped the way he works. He listens the way a good clinician does, asking questions, paying attention to what matters most to each person, and translating a complicated process into clear, manageable steps. For buyers, that means patient guidance and honest counsel about each property's strengths and trade-offs. For sellers, it means thoughtful preparation and steady communication from listing through closing. A member of the National Association of Gay and Lesbian Real Estate Professionals, Peter is committed to being an affirming, judgment-free resource for LGBTQ+ clients and their families as they navigate one of life's most significant investments. Whether you are buying your first Westchester home, selling a longtime residence, or relocating to the area, Peter Aupperle offers a calm, well-informed partner focused entirely on your goals.
