Famed Slutty Vegan Founder, Activist, and Philanthropist Pinky Cole Surprises Graduating Clark Atlanta University Students with Access to Entrepreneurship ATLANTA – On Monday, May 16, Pinky Cole announced in her moving and inspiring commencement speech to the Clark Atlanta University (CAU) graduating class of 2022 that she along with partner Varo Bank, N.A, Member FDIC will be providing every graduate with the ability to register a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC) to start their own business.

Pinky is the renowned Founder, CEO, and visionary behind Slutty Vegan ATL, Bar Vegan, and The Pinky Cole Foundation. She is also a celebrated graduate of CAU who was named Miss Clark Atlanta University while she attended in 2009. Pinky is the youngest speaker in CAU history to deliver the revered commencement address. Varo is the first all-digital, nationally chartered U.S. consumer bank. The bank’s mission is to help people at all income levels build generational wealth and realize their financial power.

Pinky said it best to the over 800 students on the graduation stage this weekend, “It matters how you treat people. You are about to go out into the world. Some of you will own businesses, become supervisors and lead teams. You will be called on to push people to realize greatness that they might not see in themselves. And even as you hold people to the highest standards possible, you will still have to lead with grace.”

In the spirit of pushing others to reach their greatness, Pinky and Varo Bank’s gift of LLC registrations will help pave the way and inspire America’s future entrepreneurs. She motivated graduates to “Fall, get up and fall again. Fall as many times you need to and get up as many times as you fall—knowing that with each stumble, you gained more strength. Each mistake got you closer to your purpose and destiny!”

Pinky concluded her speech by encouraging the graduates to “Make that money. Don’t let the money make you!”

Pinky is known for changing the world with her vegan comfort food, philanthropy & activism, as recently profiled on the cover of Essence magazine, CNN, The New York Times, People Magazine, Forbes & more.

Clark Atlanta University was formed with the consolidation of Atlanta University and Clark College, both of which hold unique places in the annals of African-American history. Atlanta University, established in 1865 by the American Missionary Association, was the nation’s first institution to award graduate degrees to African-Americans. Clark College, established four years later in 1869, was the nation’s first four-year liberal arts college to serve a primarily African-American student population. Today, with nearly 4,000 students, CAU is the largest of the four institutions (CAU, Morehouse College, Spelman College and Morehouse School of Medicine) that comprise the Atlanta University Center Consortium.

Other recent studies have also found that smartwatches and fitness bands are less effective at tracking the heart rate of people of color.

“BodiMetrics medical devices’ ability to deliver accurate data is the primary reason I decided to work with them,” said Dr. Meir Kryger, professor of Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine at Yale University. “Most other popular fitness devices do not provide accurate medical information for all populations.

SOVEREIGNTY COMPANY LAUNCHES TO DISRUPT FASHION LOS ANGELES PRNewswire -- Sovereignty Company, a first-of-its-kind circular social enterprise and not-for-profit, recently launched in Los Angeles. Sovereignty empowers fashion entrepreneurs of color to collectively solve climate change and inclusion challenges. Through Sovereignty’s support, these entrepreneurs will redefine and disrupt fashion, equitable wealth creation, and the creative workforce economy. The not-for-profit will focus on three areas of impact: a nonprofit Fashion CEOs Accelerator, a sustainable fashion brand SO.TY, and the Vision 33 impact funding plan.

Dr. Corneil (Neil) Montgomery founded the notfor-profit building upon his experience as a creative social impact executive in Fortune 50 companies, global not-for-profits, and consulting. He has secured partnerships with Wells Fargo and Lexus and gained early support from fashion influencers and thought

leaders, including sustainable fashion blogger Aditi Mayer, James Higa CEO of Philanthropic Ventures Foundation, Edwina Kulego vice president of international and business development at Informa Markets Fashion and founder of Essentials By Edwina.

Sovereignty’s goal is to realize a diverse, inclusive, equitable, prosperous, and circular fashion society for BIPOC communities. The non-diluted accelerator will help fashion designers and entrepreneurs of color design and launch sustainable fashion business models and brands.

“Designers of color helped shape fashion history and evolution but are still underrepresented and lack the resources and connections to build and grow their careers,” says Neil Montgomery, founder and chief executive officer of Sovereignty Fashion CEOs Accelerator. “Our goal is to advance fashion entrepreneurs’ careers by giving them the tools to build sustainabil-

ity into their brands and define their reputations as change makers, leaders, and influencers in high-end fashion, which they so deserve.”

The Fashion CEOs Accelerator provides resources to fashion designers and fashion entrepreneurs to design and launch sustainable and circular business models. Sovereignty will focus investments in Environmental Social Governance (ESG) impact-driven, startups, early growth fashion brands and tech companies that are building the future of circular and sustainable fashion with a particular interest in funding BIPOC and underrepresented founders with pre-seed or seed capital. All designers in the program will receive a $50,000 non-diluted cash grant, eight months of immersive education and training, peer support, hands-on mentorship, and connections to a network of sustainability and circular fashion experts to help them launch or grow their brands.

Travel Insurance Startup Faye Raises $8M In Seed Funding, Poised for Travel’s Rebound LOS ANGELES PRNewswire -- Whole-trip travel insurance startup Faye today announced it has raised $8M in seed funding, led by Viola Ventures and F2 Venture Capital, with participation from Portage Ventures, Global Founders Capital (GFC) and former NBA player Omri Casspi. The news comes on the heels of the company exiting stealth mode last month to introduce a more tech-driven, quick, person-first travel coverage and care offering to American consumers.

Faye sets a new standard in a space that has undergone little innovation. The company’s robust protection can cover travelers’ trips, health, belongings, and even their pets, all via an app that sends real-time proactive alerts, provides 24/7 access to customer experience specialists, enables users to file claims digitally, and quickly pays for approved claims via electronic transfers to Faye Wallet, its easy-to-use secure payments card that works like Apple Pay and Google Pay. Via Faye Wallet, travelers can also receive speedy reimbursements for travel inconveniences (such as delayed bags and flights) and instantly use funds to purchase what they need most rather than paying out of pocket.

Co-Founder & CEO, Elad Schaffer: “Travel insurance has become synonymous with lengthy, jargon-filled policies that leave travelers confused rather than well-informed. The claims process can be slow and bureaucratic, and may require a lot of time and excessive paperwork.

Faye is hitting the market as a solution to these pain points, at a time in which consumers are planning to travel more than ever before and are seeking solutions to look after them while on the road. We’re here to meet their rising expectations and transform travel insurance from a forgettable add-on to a must-have advantage that enhances the entire trip experience.”

Available on iOS and Android, Faye has seen an influx of customers since launch, with its Customer Experience Team reporting that the majority are keen to understand how the company offers COVID-19 coverage. For those that purchase Faye’s travel protection and become ill with COVID-19 pre-trip, there is coverage for their cancellation claims up to their plan’s limit, all subject to the terms of the plan. And if they contract COVID-19 in-trip, there’s coverage for emergency medical expenses and trip interruption/trip delay claims (such as quarantine accommodation, flight changes, prescription drugs and hospitalization).

ComEd Awards $280,000 in College Scholarships to 56 Illinois Students Pursuing Futures in Energy Future of Energy Scholarship Fund launched this year to remove financial barriers, boost diversity and inclusion in STEM and energy careers

ComEd today announced it will award $279,500 in scholarships to 56 local students pursuing college coursework in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and related fields this fall. The new Future of Energy Scholarships are part of ComEd’s growing efforts to build a more diverse future energy workforce by removing obstacles for women and minority students pursuing STEM careers.

The 56 students selected to receive scholarships reflect the diversity of the communities that ComEd serves, with scholars hailing from 28 different community areas across northern Illinois.

More than 50 percent of the scholarship recipients are minorities and nearly two-thirds are women.

One fifth of the scholars are committed to attend an Historically Black College or University (HBCU) in the fall. A full list of the spring 2022 scholarship recipients can be found here.

“ComEd requires skilled talent as we work to confront climate change and prepare for our clean energy future,” said Gil C. Quiniones, CEO of ComEd. “The Future of Energy Scholarship is a key component of the work we are doing to create a local, diverse pipeline of talent to meet new demands of the industry and ensure equitable opportunity for our communities across the region so they can benefit from the growth of well-paying clean energy jobs in the years ahead.”

The Future of Energy Scholarship provides college bound high school seniors and current college students with awards ranging from $1,000

to $10,000, which may be used to cover tuition and related expenses, in addition to the chance to pursue a ComEd internship where students gain direct career experience in the energy industry.

“I am appreciative to ComEd for this scholarship award as I prepare to attend Howard University to pursue my goal to become an engineer,” said Chase Easley, student from Schaumburg who will be majoring in engineering at Howard University this fall. “Through my involvement in STEAM courses in high school, I have learned the importance of renewable energy for our environment, and I look forward to building the skills that will help me create a more sustainable future for my community.”

To be eligible for an award, students were required to demonstrate acceptance to a STEM, business or relevant degree program, and a minimum 2.8 GPA. Priority consideration was made for minorities and women, students with a demonstrated financial need, and students headed to an HBCU program. Since announcing the program in February, ComEd expanded funding to provide additional support for qualifying students who met needs-based criteria.

“Pursuing a degree in engineering has always been a dream for me, and with the ComEd Future of Energy scholarship, I look forward to pursuing my passion for computer science this fall,” said Kelly Lin, student from Chicago who will attend the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “I am honored to have received this award and an in-

ternship with ComEd, and I have never been more motivated to make myself and my family proud with these opportunities.”

To recruit scholars for this opportunity, ComEd worked with a program administrator, National Energy Education Development (NEED) Project, to promote the program across various channels including job and community resource fairs, within local school systems, youth providers, workforce agencies, and more.

“We are honored to partner with ComEd for the Future of Energy Scholarships. The exceptional students who are receiving these scholarships reflect the diversity of a growing energy industry and STEM as a whole,” said Mary Spruill, Executive Director of The NEED Project. “The ingenuity, talent, and curiosity exhibited by each of these students will shape the future of the energy as we consider the opportunities and challenges ahead.”

“This scholarship will allow me to focus on my future with confidence when I begin college this fall,” said Dhruti Amin, a student from Aurora, who will attend DePaul University in Chicago.

“I appreciate the value ComEd places on helping aspiring students like me to advance in competitive fields.”

To expand future pathways to college, ComEd expects to issue another $250,000 in scholarship opportunities later this year for 2023 college students. For updates on these and other career assistance opportunities, please visit www.comed. com/workforce

Dot Hip Hop, LLC Announces Reintroduction of the .HipHop Top-Level Domain (Black PR Wire) POMPANO BEACH, Fla.-- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Domain name industry experts Monte Cahn, Jeff Neuman, and Scott Pruitt have teamed up with Digital Asset Monetary Network, Inc. (DigitalAMN), a Public Accelerator-Incubator, to reintroduce the generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) .HipHop with lower wholesale pricing and an end-user focused marketing strategy.

Dot Hip Hop, LLC purchased the rights from Uniregistry to become the registry operator of .HipHop in June of 2021 and received formal approval from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in March of 2022. With very little end-user marketing since the initial launch in 2014, combined with relatively high registration prices, the .HipHop gTLD has had minimal adoption by registrars and end-users. However, the hip-hop movement has continued to grow exponentially during that time, as most recently evidenced by the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent. Additionally, many of the world’s most successful companies advertised during the Super Bowl, including Pepsi, IBM, McDonald’s, HP, Cheetos, Nike, State Farm, Sprite, Chrysler, Adidas, Chevrolet, and others used hip-hop themes in their advertising campaigns. According to Juice Rodriguez, recently quoted in AdWeek, “Hip-hop isn’t just a genre at this point, it’s the epicenter of culture. No matter what your interests are—whether it be in sneakers, gaming, NFTs or art—then music will naturally be intertwined. Brands should comfortably lean in, as the alignment in hip-hop is just an organic way to reach new worlds.”

Dot Hip Hop, LLC intends to leverage the ever-growing popularity of hip-hop while lowering the standard wholesale registration price by 80%, and aggressively marketing directly to potential end-users, which include DJs & MCs, songwriters & musicians, creative writers, digital artists & NFT creators, dance studios & dancers, recording studios, music labels, the fashion & apparel industry, promoters, events, marketing agencies, activists, fans, and more.

“Domain registries that have invested in marketing directly to end-users have been the most successful in the last few years,” said Scott Pruitt, CMO of Dot Hip Hop, LLC. “This simple strategy of end-user outreach and lower prices combined with the enormous growth of hip-hop as a worldwide cultural and economic force, make us extremely optimistic about the future of our company.”

Monte Cahn, Executive Managing Director of Dot Hip Hop, LLC, remarked, “I am more than excited and thrilled to be a part of Dot Hip Hop! Having a top-level domain like .HipHop will provide tens of millions of individuals, along with small to large corporations with online identity and digital branding solutions that meet the needs of the entire global hip-hop community. In addition, we intend to make the latest technologies available to complement .HipHop domains; including blockchain and ENS integration.”

A Black Female Superhero for the times, ‘Sugar,’ a fictional tale based on true events (Black PR Wire) Philadelphia, PA – The now five-time International Independent Award-Winning Film, SUGAR is a fictional tale about a single parent Mom / successful boutique owner by day, who masquerades as a vigilante by night protecting battered and abused women.

Written, Directed and Produced by Indie Award winning filmmaker Jermaine Quick, the CEO of illadelstyles Entertainment LLC and EQ Films Productions. SUGAR will premiere on the big screen at 6 p.m.

Thursday, June 16, at the Landmark Ritz 5 Theater 214 Walnut St. in Philadelphia, PA. Physical abuse on woman has always been considered an isolated event.

Overturning Roe vs. Wade makes women more vulnerable. Thus, SUGAR (played

by New York Actress Cynthia Belcher) empowers women to take charge of their life. Incorporating the nostalgia of the Black Women Comic Book heroes of the past, SUGAR depicts a single mother that is raising her daughter “Laniya”, (played by the sensational young Philadelphia actress Giselle Martin). Sugar’s heroic efforts at night get entangled with her day life, and causes Laniya to get kidnapped by her nemesis. Will she be able to protect the interest of Sugar, or will she melt away in despair? This 93 min. drama/action indie film is registered in over 40 film festivals across the world and has received 5 awards to date.

The award-winning writer and director Jermaine Quick continues to make films that question our social environment and our temperament towards the physical ill’s of this world. While most indie films from Philadelphia lean towards the drug life, Jermaine finds a way to soothe the familiar and raise the consciousness. Henceforth, his mid-covid Philadelphia Independent Film Festival Award for Best Local Film, his Los Angeles Motion Picture Award for Best Film in 2020, and his Black History Month nomination by the Greater Philadelphia Film Office for his fifth film “HEARTLESS”. You can follow the progress @ www.illadelstyles.net/soundtrack.

Quick and Easy Dishes for

Dining Al Fresco

(Family Features) Warmer weather is often welcome for a variety of reasons and dining outdoors can help take that appreciation to the next level. Keeping ingredients lists short and prep time minimal also allows you to spend more time enjoying the sunshine and blue skies al fresco with the ones you love.

Even when you’re short on time, you can take mealtime from the dining room to the deck with an ingredient like Minute Rice Cups. Available in 13 varieties, including White and Brown rice, the convenient, single-serving, BPA-free cups are ready in just 90 seconds or less. Perfect for taking to the office for lunch or as an on-the-go snack, the cups can also be used as a quick and easy base for nearly any meal occasion.

For example, this simple Fish with Bok Choy features plenty of complex flavors with flaky white fish, crisp bok choy and 100% whole-grain brown rice. The brown rice provides

the ideal texture for the ginger, sesame and nutty notes in this dish, and the whole recipe can be on the table in 10 minutes. Because white fish fillets are neutral and mild, they absorb all the flavors from the dish, and are an ideal protein for those with busy schedules due to their short cooking time.

Or, bursting with colors and flavors, this Fiesta Rice satisfies fresh cravings with an irresistible combo of white rice, tomatoes, green onions and creamy avocado. Ready in less than 5 minutes, this dish can also be customized with a different grain variety or extra juicy, sweet cherry tomatoes in place of diced tomatoes. To make this satisfying side a complete meal, simply add grilled chicken or your favorite protein.
