SIMONE BILES: OLYMPICS 2021
Simone Biles is one of the greatest US female gymnasts of all time. She has used her influence to speak out against injustices, arrived at Tokyo Olympics prepared to soar, but… had a mental health issue, which prompted her to pull out of the Olympic finals. Some have suggested that Biles’ ADHD or Attention-Deficit/ Hyperactivity Disorder could be blamed. The USA Gymnastics organization released a statement, saying, “After a further medical evaluation, Simone Biles has withdrawn from the final individual all-around competition. We wholeheartedly support Simone’s decision and applaud her bravery in prioritizing her well-being. Her courage shows, yet again, why she is a role model for so many.”

How will be the recovery of cyclist Egan Bernal?
During this week, it has been painful to see how this great road cyclist, the reigning champion of the 2021 Giro d'Italia, one of the best in the world at the age of 25, is now bedridden in a hospital room, and all because of an absurd traffic accident during a specific time trial training in preparation for the next Tour de France to be raced this summer.

Getting to know music artist Str8Cash
Nice to meet you! We would love to get to know you! Tell us about you: “Str8Cash” I’m a upcoming artist making a name for hisself in the music industry born and raised in Gallatin,Tn. I’ve been doing music since I was 13 or 14 years old I started off rapping with one of my best friends “DooWay” but he went by “Deezi” at the time we had a group called Starlife.We rocking the teen shows in Nashville and other surrounding areas.We had linked up with Charlie P and Sonny Paradise who had a buzz in the Nashville with the music and we was part of Black Fly Music when it was up and coming at the time.Long story short I had end up getting caught up in the system and getting sent off to Juvenile and end up getting my charges bound over as a adult at 16 years old.They end up letting me out at 17 years old on 13 years probation.So when I came home I started messing with the music here and there but I didn’t take it as serious as I did back then because keep in mind I got a 2 year old son at this time so I’m trying to provide for him.So I jump back in the streets and try to do what I did at the time and end up getting caught up again and got sent off to prison 3 and half years until I paroled out 2015. I’m talking about I didn’t even stay out 70 days after I got out and got caught up wrong place wrong time and got my parole violated and sent me back to prison for 4 and half more years and I came home 2020.I’m just thinking the whole time I’m incarcerated I got to do something different when I come home I had already been working on my rapping skills while I was in prison letting me cell mates and other inmates hear some of my songs I was writing and they were f*cking with it,and told me I’m crazy if I don’t get out and push it.Music always been my second love I use to always want to play the drums when I went to church with my grandparents as a kid.My music is a form of self expression,my pain,and frustration I got through in everyday life.Everything I rap about is from experience.I don’t rap about stuff that goes on in the streets to influence or glorify that path.I’m just giving it to them raw and uncut, you can either take this path,but you go this route this is the outcome.This is what come with it,ain’t no straddling the fence! I had to open my eyes and realize that the hard that’s why I try to motivate and keep it real as possible with my fans and show them that anything is possible and never give always chase your dream it’s never to late.It’s a day to day struggle I know wher I want to be in life but we don’t know what tomorrow may bring.But I know my higher power will give me the knowledge,wisdom,and understanding that I need to get through whatever obstacles come my way.Because I do this for my kids and family and try to be the best father I can be and give them opportunities and access to things I didn’t have growing up that’s my biggest accomplishment in life.I want to be known in the music industry as a humble, solid, stand up individual,and role model to the youth because they are the Future! -Str8Cash-

Getting to know model Arlene Taylor
Tell us about you: My name is Arlene Taylor and I was born and raised inFort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. My love for Modeling comes from my love for Fine Art; being given a space to create visual to appease the eyes and cultivate wonder in people's minds. Growing up, I took very few pictures because I felt self conscious about my height and being underweight. I was also the friend taking the pictures because I "got the angles just right". Modeling has brought into my life a higher level of self-confidence that I can use to triumph in all opportunities that come my way in life. Now being in front of the camera, I can be a part of the art i was always taking pictures of. What makes me stand out is my analytical mindset and how well I adjust in a situation. From the settings to the camera lense is a multiple different perspective depending on where you're standing. I put myself in the photographers shoes so I can better control what narrative I'm telling with my body language. Being a more mature model also means keeping a leveled head at all times, being great at Time management, and having persistence in my craft.

You are what you think.
For many people, writing is what happens when you sit down and put pen to paper. But before we hastily jump into writing, we need to remember to listen. How can you create space for listening and inspiration before embarking upon writing? I can only describe that music teaches you how to reach new levels of listening by opening up to the whole of human experience.Artists and creators feel intimidated by all kinds of blocks. In this lesson of music 🎼 before writing I share in my belief that knowledge is endless and can share a way to access that knowledge, such as learning to draw from your dream world to find meaning. teaches the necessity of undoing beliefs that hold you back. Drawing on these principles will fortify you to work from an endless abundance of creativity.

Putting the Planet Back Together
I had some time to myself the other day, and I was thinking. Let’s say that someone, like God maybe, gave me a job to select a committee of all-star individuals that would put their heads together and come up with a plan of action to save the Planet. Who would I pick, living or dead, to serve on that committee? And, what would be my reasons for selecting the chosen few? Well, I thought about it and I came up with a list of 30 people (past and present) whom I think would do a pretty good job of “gettin’ ‘er done”. The people I have chosen to be on this hypothetical committee are listed in no particular order of importance. They simply need to be sitting somewhere around the table when the process starts. I have also included a short present-tense selection rationale for each candidate along with a photo to remind us all of their strength and character.

Black Women Imitating White Women Is Dangerous
If you’re a 90’s kid like me, you remember what was in, in terms of body type. Flat-bootied, big-chested, thin-lipped blond women were the hottest thing on the planet. We know who they are, Pamela Anderson, Tera Reid, Heather Locklear. These women were the epitome of beauty, the girlfriends of rock stars — they had it all.
