In 2018, Juanina became a co-owner of B.E.S.S. Art Exposure, LLC. (Black Entertainment and Success Stories) which opened in Merrillville, IN. The purpose of the art gallery is to bring a positive platform and a new cultural experience to Northwest Indiana so that local artists would have the opportunity to display their artwork to the community and make a profit from the sale.
