This Queer Artist Demands to Be Seen and Heard. Top Story - June 2022.
Talia Keys’ trademark fire and brimstone stage presence is an amalgam of her journey, identity, and musical influences. Growing up, she and her brother were raised by a single mother in Utah. Her dad struggled with addiction and his battles forced Talia to grow up sooner than typical kids her age. Still, she was gifted with a big imagination and whether she was pretending to be Michael Jordan or impersonating Elvis Presley, Talia could entertain herself for hours. She began piano lessons at age 9, drums at 11, guitar at 16 and mandolin at 22. Music was always very prevalent throughout her youth, beginning with The Beatles and turning to Bob Marley in middle school. Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, and Talking Heads were some of the other artists that played a big role in her musical development. She even had a Kris Kross phase (and yes, she wore her clothes backwards for a time). It opened Talia up to rap and hip hop and she became a huge fan of Tribe Called Quest, The Fugees and Blackalicious.

Interview With Author Robyn Watts
At 39+ Robyn considers herself a late entrant to the publishing world, but that's something I can relate to, being around the mid-30s myself. Starting her author journey late in life, however, has given Robyn some perks: life has given her so much to write about. She currently lives in Canada with her partner and daughter, and when she's not writing, they love going camping and fishing together.

The harsh truth: Recruiters will always choose the individual they like, regardless of qualifications, experience and skills
You probably won't like this, but it's the truth. Recruiters, interviewers, and potential employers will always hire the candidate that they like, even if they don't have qualifications or skills or experience. In fact, interviewers will often pass over a qualified applicant just to hire someone who isn't as good of a fit for the job but is more likable. It's not fair; I know. But it's how it works. Unfortunately, there isn't any way to prove this either because employers can always find some reason that you weren't qualified for the job when really they just didn't like you and thought someone else was better suited for the position. So what should you do about this? Well we'll talk about that next time.

Darkside Drive creates a distinct take on 80’s goth and darkwave music.
From the ashes of bands forced off the road during lockdown, three musicians from across the country united to create a spark of an idea that lit the fire that was to become Darkside Drive, the flames of which burn bright in their creativity. The band has created a distinct take on 80’s music, goth and darkwave. The songs are a poignant look behind the curtain of suburbia and delve into the darker side of life. The band is busy writing and releasing new material, and looking to go on tour towards the end of the year. Vocalist, Steve Burden, took the time to answer our questions.
