GINA COTRONEO/ SOULS CALLING
Gina Cotroneo, a Dallas woman whose story of courage and self-empowerment has been featured on television programs such as "Oprah," " Montel," and "Crier Live" and in such publications as Glamour, will be appearing on the Sunday, August 30, episode of
ABC's hit television show "Shark Tank." Ms. Cotroneo appears seeking partnership investment for her business, "Souls Calling". "Shark Tank," from Sony Pictures Television, airs Sundays (8:00-9:00 p.m) on WFAA.
Ms. Cotroneo's well-publicized personal story began as a survivor of a violent attack in 1997, when she was raped by a well-known local radio deejay and serial rapist now serving a life sentence. Her amazing courage and presence of mind to save evidence, and her compelling and dramatic courtroom testimony, was not only responsible for his conviction, it was the genesis for her philosophy that "all experiences are gifts, to realize this is to evolve, and to live this is to have true power." Oprah Winfrey said of Ms. Cotroneo, "She tapped into the kind of power that can never be taken away."
?
Soul's Calling, a "fashion with-a-purpose" accessory and gift line, was conceived by Ms. Cotroneo in 2003. The company creates and markets fashion items that promote positive ideas and energy. "We are all connected with one another, and our individual actions and words have a great effect on the whole," said Cotroneo. "Being attacked affected not only me, but my family and friends, and their families and friends. The effect has rippled outward to an untold number of people. I came to the conclusion that if one person could affect so many with a negative act, then one person could also have a positive effect. Soul's Calling creations convey those positive messages in a lighthearted way that everyone can appreciate." Products shown on Shark Tank (Episode #104) include her Connection Bracelet, Sole Seeker's sandals, Inspirella umbrella, and acrylic Balance Bangles.

A viewing party for Ms. Cotroneo's episode will be held from 7:00 - 9:30 p.m. CDT at Kenny's Wood Fired Grill, ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />5000 Beltline Road in North Dallas (the southwest corner of the North Dallas Tollway and Beltline Road).
