ENTITY Mag is the media arm of ENTITY Academy, a digital media and education platform established in Los Angeles, California focused on educating and empowering women through mentorship. [1] It is currently headquartered in Henderson, Nevada. [2]

Contents

Founded in 2016 by Jennifer Schwab, [3] ENTITY Mag was launched in conjunction with ENTITY Academy, an education and mentorship program for college students and recent graduates. [4]

History

The company’s first headquarters was located in Los Angeles [5] in a building that used to be a meeting place for the Knights of Pythias, a men’s organization. [6] [7] Schwab’s goal was to turn this former “boys’ club” into a space that modernizes education for women; where up-and-coming female professionals could learn, thrive, and support each other. ENTITY ran their Academy programs in this building every summer from 2016-2019, before switching to all-online offerings in 2020 and beyond.

ENTITY is primarily known for its career advice and mentorship. [8] [9] [10] and reaches around 15 million people each month across platforms with articles about career, personal growth, self-care, relationships, and profiles of inspirational women. [11] All of the articles on ENTITY Mag’s website fall under their main content pillars: truth, inspiration, courage, and humor.

During ENTITY’s first upskilling program in 2016, the mentees who attended were given the opportunity to write articles alongside the Mag’s full-time staff. The mentees had daily lessons in search engine optimization, sourcing and fact-checking, and writing for the web. The articles they wrote became critical pieces in their professional portfolios. During all subsequent iterations of the ENTITY Academy Writer’s Collective, writing and publishing articles continues to be a staple facet of the program. [5]

Events

In July 2018, ENTITY Mag hosted the Love Yourself Summit which brought together women from all over the county for a conference about self-care. The event featured former Disney Channel actor Alyson Stoner as the featured speaker. [12]

In June 2019, ENTITY Academy began its summer program with a kickoff celebration in collaboration with Soho Muse. The event featured award-winning actress Patricia Arquette as the main speaker. Additional speakers at the event included Soho Muse founder Consuleo Vanderbilt Costin and celebrity hairstylist Tara Smith.

In February 2021, ENTITY launched a quarterly book club for ENTITY Academy students as well as its community as a whole. ENTITY’s Book Club focused on novels, historical nonfiction, and memoirs written by female authors, all of whom were interviewed at the club’s meetings. The books were chosen by bestselling writer, actress, and documentarian Leslie Zemeckis. Zemeckis also led the book club meetings and acted as a moderator.

Press

ENTITY originally made headlines in 2017 when it was the first to report that Harvey Levin had a meeting in the Oval Office with Donald Trump shortly after taking office. [13] [14] [15]

ENTITY developed their own personality test called the EN Personalities quiz with elements of the Myers-Briggs personality assessment. It was featured in a 2018 Bustle article called “11 Online Quizzes That Help Determine Your Biggest Personality Strengths & Flaws.” [16]

Mentorship is the patronage, influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person. In an organizational setting, a mentor influences the personal and professional growth of a mentee. Most traditional mentorships involve having senior employees mentor more junior employees, but mentors do not necessarily have to be more senior than the people they mentor. What matters is that mentors have experience that others can learn from.

Youth mentoring is the process of matching mentors with young people who need or want a caring, responsible adult in their lives. Adult mentors are usually unrelated to the child or teen and work as volunteers through a community-, school-, or church-based social service program. The goal of youth mentoring programs is to improve the well-being of the child by providing a role model that can support the child academically, socially and/or personally. This goal can be accomplished through school work, communication, and/or activities. Goals and settings within a mentoring program vary by country because of cultural values.

Peer mentoring is a form of mentorship that usually takes place between a person who has lived through a specific experience and a person who is new to that experience. An example would be an experienced student being a peer mentor to a new student, the peer mentee, in a particular subject, or in a new school. Peer mentors are also used for health and lifestyle changes. For example, clients, or patients, with support from peers, may have one-on-one sessions that meet regularly to help them recover or rehabilitate. Peer mentoring provides individuals who have had a specific life experience the chance to learn from those who have recovered, or rehabilitated, following such an experience. Peer mentors provide education, recreation and support opportunities to individuals. The peer mentor may challenge the mentee with new ideas, and encourage the mentee to move beyond the things that are most comfortable. Most peer mentors are picked for their sensibility, confidence, social skills and reliability.
