MIAMI BEACH

Naturally Inspires Artists, Designers and Creators MIAMI BEACH, Fla., PRNewswire -- Miami Beach’s history and connection to art, design and fashion is a storied one. Famously, world-renowned, Italian designer Giovanni Versace called South Beach home and his love for the destination, vibrancy of the culture and natural inspiration found in the surroundings were evident in his still-iconic fashionwear. Today, Miami Beach continues to serve up creative motivation, most recently during SWIM Week Miami 2022. This year’s shows were a display of colorful culture, cutting edge design and a fusion of designs paying homage to the past while paving the way for the future of swimwear. Travelers looking for a creative spark during their travels can explore the many facets of Miami Beach that keep artists of all mediums coming back for more – from visiting local studios and creators to attending marquee events like Art Basel.

“Miami Beach is synonymous with art and design. Throughout the years, those with a creative appetite have spent extended time in the destination, fueling up on the natural beauty and embracing Miami Beach as a creative muse,” says Steve Adkins, Chairman of the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA). “Visitors and locals will find inspiration and access to experiences, exhibitions and storefronts that bring the essence of Miami Beach to life. Travelers will leave with a renewed sense of creativity and inspiration that will leave an everlasting impression.”

One of the best ways to discover the local artist scene is a visit to Oolite Arts, one of Miami’s largest support organizations for visual artists. Currently located on Lincoln Road, guests are invited to stop in and meet the resident artists and visiting talent, including the area’s youth. Three marquee exhibitions will be available for viewing now through the end of the year including “At the Edge,” “Lean-To,” and “Unfolding the Space Between: Jennifer Printz.” Looking for a bit of

history and a stellar menu? Visit The Villa Casuarina, formerly known as the Versace Mansion. Tours are available and an exquisite dining experience at Gianni’s allows the opportunity to dine poolside amongst the intricate and colorful outdoor terrace.

Spend an afternoon exploring the many shopping pockets including Lincoln Road and Sunset Harbor or take a short drive from Miami Beach to Coral Gables and visit Colombian designer Silvia Tcherassi’s storefront. As the only location in North America, shoppers can expect to find bold accessories and artisanal handbags perfect for a day or night out. Pieces are approachable, starting just under $100. Visitors can also browse her specialty creations and order online from the comfort of their beach chair. Of course, if travelers find themselves in Miami Beach in early December, no experience is complete without exploring an event or two during Art Basel. This year, choose from a variety of pop-up shows, conversations and immersions. Insider tip, a number of hotels, including Faena, The Sagamore and W South Beach feature artist collections and host premiere events exclusive to hotel guests.

“We hope our guests find inspiration from the collection of artists and designers that continuously use Miami Beach as a beacon for ongoing creativity.” adds Grisette Marcos, Executive Director of the MBVCA. “Travelers will find experiences, exhibitions and boutiques aplenty, providing opportunities for them to not only visit marquee locations or events while in town, but to also discover keepsakes that will remind them of their time with us well after the vacation is over.”

W HOTELS INFUSES A NEW WAVE OF ENERGY INTO CANADA’S BIGGEST CITY BETHESDA, Md., PRNewswire -- Sound on. W Hotels Worldwide, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of 30 extraordinary hotel brands, today announces the opening of W Toronto. Rising 11 stories in the vibrant, creatively charged neighborhood of Yorkville, the hotel is a celebration of Toronto’s storied art scene, diversity of culture, and legacy of non-conformity.

PRNewsFoto Destined to bring a new energy and sophistication to the city’s luxury lifestyle hospitality scene, W Toronto gives locals a new playground and travelers an authentic, socially charged retreat.

A Culture Clash of Design

Designed by global creative agency Sid Lee, W Toronto is a juxtaposition of the city’s biophilia, man-made city grid and brutalist architecture. The contrast begins with the exterior, where the brutalist facade has been transformed through warm, LED lighting that illuminates the night sky, including a glowing, opaque orange lift to take guests to the rooftop bar and restaurant.

The journey begins on the 6th Floor, where the Welcome Desk and Living Room (the W brand’s signature lobby/lounge) drips in jewel tones of ruby, amethyst, and topaz - with curved lines and velvet furniture reminiscent of Toronto’s late 60s and early 70s counterculture movement. Other highlights of the 5,000 square

foot space include a communal “fire” pit, a circular destination bar featuring cascading amber lighting, and access to The Yard, an outdoor terrace surrounded by a three-story atrium of guest room windows - creating a voyeuristic tension between public and private.

W Toronto features 254 guest rooms -- including 30 suites -- two of which are Extreme Wow (Presidential) Suites. Drawing inspiration from Toronto’s illustrious theater district, guest room beds are flanked by stage-inspired pendant lights and situated in front of a sapphire velvet curtain that can be automatically drawn open or shut. Design touches include curved banquettes, dressing-room style vanity mirrors, “record-like” tables in honor of Toronto’s musical legacy and nods to nature, like the abstract floral wallpaper and mushroom-shaped accent lights. As a playful wink to personal artistic interpretation, Double Queen Rooms are adorned with wall art that reads “Not everything has to mean something. Some things just are.” by Canadian writer and musician Charles de Lint.

The award-winning, pedestrian-friendly Chicago Riverwalk stretches 1.25 miles from Lake Michigan to Lake Street offering restaurants, wineries and bars, live music and performances, public art, urban recreation and more.

Programming on the Chicago Riverwalk is presented by the City of Chicago and produced by DCASE in collaboration with the Department of Assets and Information (AIS), the Chicago Park District and cultural partners from around the city. Art on theMART, the largest digital art projection in the world, covering over 2.5 acres of theMART’s river-facing façade, announced new installations inspired by the city’s Year of Chicago Dance to be showcased throughout the summer. Also celebrating the Year of Chicago Dance, Links Hall presents Dance on the Walk showcasing the city’s dynamic dance scene with free performances plus pre-show classes for all skill levels.

Details below and at ChicagoRiverwalk.us.

“The Chicago Riverwalk is an urban oasis in the heart of our city,” shares DCASE Commissioner Erin Harkey. “We’re thrilled to bring some of our best Chicago-based artists from the Chicago Blues Festival and the Chicago Band Roster to perform live with our beautiful city as the backdrop. The array of fantastic arts and recreational programming scheduled this summer further enriches the waterfront experience for everyone.”

Chevy’s New Supercrusing Bolt EUV Electric cars have always been viewed as luxury cars. The negative connotation behind luxury is that it is expensive.

By Derrell Green Citizen’s DTU Intern

Who would have expected the movies to be right in predicting the future? We have drones delivering packages, trains that practically fly, and cars that can drive themselves. Electric vehicles are one of the technological advancements that were also predicted in fiction. However, the features these cars have are things not usually seen in films, television, or books.

Electric cars have always been viewed as luxury cars. The negative connotation behind luxury is that it is expensive.

However, Chevy has been doing work to create electric vehicles that the average person can afford while also encompassing futuristic features that are found in luxury vehicles.

Chevy’s Bolt (EUV) electric utility vehicle is an amazingly crafted electric vehicle. With a sleek outer body and a luxurious feel inside and out, it comes in seven different stylish colors.

The Bolt EUV, like all of Chevy’s electric cars, while being luxurious, is still very affordable. This comes as a surprise, seeing how many cool features the car has.

I had the opportunity to experience the many features of the Chevy’s EUV Bolt for a week. I can say this car is amazing.

Aside from already being cool because

it is an electric vehicle, it runs smooth. The car I usually drive is so loud that I can hear nearly everything under the hood. With the EUV Bolt, I hear absolutely nothing. A pen could drop on the carpet of the car, and I’d hear it.

Not to mention a host great features; the car has 200 horsepower and wireless phone compatibility. The stand-out feature for me is the EUV Bolt’s super cruise feature. The Super cruise feature is an advanced driver assistance technology that allows drivers to drive hands-free. It is a feature that you would not expect in such an affordable car.

The Super cruise feature uses advanced technology to not only drive the EUV Bolt but do it safely across 200,000 compatible roads in the United States. Super cruise uses Connected Services * and uses real-time precise positioning cameras, sensors, and LiDAR map data to help detect curves, helping to make long drives and commutes comfortable.

The Super cruise has a sub-feature called adaptive cruise control. Adaptive cruise control uses state-of-the-art technology to automatically maintain a driver-selected distance from the detected vehicle you’re following.

Another amazing thing about Super cruise is that it is very easy to use. First, engage the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

by using the steering wheel button. When Adaptive Cruise Control is already set, the symbol on the dashboard will be green with a speed shown.

Another sub-feature of Super cruise is the Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. This feature is a safeguard for when other drivers are not being responsible. The Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking uses radar to help you avoid or reduce the severity of a front-end collision.

The Super cruise also has lane centering.

The Lane-Centering Detection features detects curves with real-time cameras, sensors, and GPS. When Super Cruise detects you are on a compatible road, paying sufficient attention, and all other driving conditions are met, then a white Super Cruise symbol will display on the dashboard.

When it is safe to do so, press the Super Cruise button on the steering wheel to engage the feature. Once the steering wheel light bar turns green, you may remove your hands from the steering wheel.

To turn off Super Cruise, press the Super Cruise button again, press the brake pedal or pull the Regen on Demand paddle.

The Super cruise is an amazing addition to the already great Bolt EUV. If you were not already thinking of purchasing a Bolt EUV, the new Super cruise feature will seal the deal on your purchase.

The 1st Platinum Selling Hip Hop Artist to be Elected to Public Office in the United States NEWARK, N.J., PRNewswire -- Hip Hop was born nearly 50 years ago in the Bronx, NY by DJ Kool Herc. Since then, Hip Hop culture has transcended music, fashion, art, and dance. Hip Hop culture has reshaped and influenced American culture for decades to now become the highest grossing music genre to date. Although Hip Hop has always been political, it is now making even greater strides in politics with the election of Dupré “Doitall” Kelly from the platinum selling Hip Hop group Lords of the Underground.

Since Hip Hop has always been the voice of people, Councilman Kelly believes that his experience as a Hip Hop artist will allow him to represent the community of people that feel unseen and unheard. On July 1, 2022 Councilman Kelly was inaugurated in a ceremony in Newark.

Councilman Kelly states, “I had a conversation with Tupac Shakur about this day. I wish he could be here to see me this day. Over 25 years ago, he and I had a conversation in an Orlando hotel room, and he said that we shouldn’t move from our cities, dude. He said, we should come back and create nonprofits and create youth initiatives and youth programs. We might also need to do some things that we may PRNewsFoto not want and that means running for office,” Kelly said.

He promises to move the West Ward forward with a revitalization plan that includes youth education and employment initiatives that young people find interesting. Councilman Kelly aims to utilize all the city departments and outside resources for a strategy that will improve and provide services. Kelly also plans to team up with residents, business owners, and community organizations to make sure the quality of life problems are solved together.

Councilman Kelly received endorsements from many people in the entertainment industry such as Shaquille O’Neal, Redman, Queen Latifah, KRS One, Naughty By Nature, Damon Dash and countless other celebrities around the globe. He will continue his career in entertainment, as he has just released his album Brenda’s Son and is currently starring in the feature film Respect The Jux, executive produced by Pusha T starring Tony Sirico, Vado, Ciera Payton, and Tobias Truvillion. Councilman Kelly attended Shaw University. He is also the founder of 211 Community Impact, a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Incorporated and the Screen Actors Guild.

AWARD-WINNING

Outdoor Space Inspiration (Family Features) Renovating your home’s outdoor spaces not only enhances the aesthetic but can also provide a host of recreational benefits. Taking a look at award-winning projects can help many homeowners draw inspiration while also identifying capable, reputable contractors to take on the project.

For example, selected by a panel of industry experts based on functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation and degree of difficulty, these 2021 National Association of the Remodeling Industry National Contractor of the Year (CotY) Award Winners showcase a variety of ideas for upgrading your outdoor spaces. Find the complete list at nari.org/cotywinners.

Residential Landscape Design/Outdoor Living Under $100,000 The clients wanted to upgrade a poorly draining, impractical backyard into an attractive, functional outdoor entertainment space that flowed from the renovated basement. The project included an outdoor area for entertaining, outdoor kitchen, spacious patio with a custom concrete fire pit, oversized ceiling fans, ample storage and landscaping complete with native plants around the perimeter.

“By working on this project, we learned how important it is to take a holistic look at what clients are trying to accomplish with their renovations,” said Thomas Boyce, president of Boyce Design & Contracting. “Often with outdoor living projects, designers and contractors look at the exterior of the home in isolation. We learned to look at how the interior and exterior of the home connect to each other to make sure the features and floor plan flow and work well together. By taking this approach,

we were able to achieve a better finished product that is more functional and attractive for our clients.”

Residential Landscape Design/Outdoor Living $100,000-$250,000 A young, active family was looking to create a distinct

outdoor living space with multiple entertainment spaces that tied in with the existing aesthetic and elevated the home amongst its neighbors. The low-maintenance backyard now features an outdoor dining area, sunken living room, entertainment area and additional storage space built with the

home’s current architectural features while also maintaining a large enough yard for the kids and their friends to play.

“The aesthetic of the outdoor areas was designed not only for function but also to reflect the interiors and keep the inside-outside living feeling continuous,” said Tim Johnson, owner and founder of Livit Site + Structure.

“For example, the shiplap used on the fire table is the same shiplap featured inside the home. Likewise, the Douglas fir timbers used on the pergola are the same as the interior ceiling beams.”

Residential Landscape Design/Outdoor Living Over $250,000 A 4,000-square-foot project built at four different elevations, this client wanted to include a safe way to move from the upper level to the backyard without coming through the house, a structure for shade and protection from mosquitoes and a pool with features that reflected the home. Adding a covered screen room with individually controlled wall panels, seethrough fireplace, fountain, pool with sheer descent waterfalls, recycled rock walls and staircase from the upper elevation while enclosing it all within a stone wall met those expectations.

“A sound piece of advice for anyone building anything in the backyard: get a plan,” said Ken DePratt, owner of KD Poolscapes, Ltd. “Have it match your expectations list. Then, and only then, will you know if it matches your budget. We would recommend doing your research when taking on a pool project of any size. It’s hard to push that hole around once it’s dug.”

In Canada and in Ontario, anti-Black racism is entrenched in societal systems and structures and impacts access for millions of Black people to education, housing, employment, healthcare and other resources.

The COVID-19 pandemic amplified existing disparities for Black communities; those impacts have been disproportionately felt by Black and racialized communities. A July 2020 study found that Black and racialized people make up 83% of COVID-19 cases reported in Ontario.

Social prescribing is an approach to healthcare that can bridge gaps between social and clinical models of health.

Using the trusted process of writing a prescription, social prescribing allows health providers to refer patients to

community-based programs that are co-created according to each client’s interests, goals, and gifts. In Ontario, Community Health Centres (CHCs) and other community-based primary health care organizations offer inter-professional and community services as part of their models of care, as they have for decades.

The goal of the Black Social Prescribing project is to develop a model of social prescribing grounded in Black and Afrocentric values and principles, and an approach that focuses on supporting Black families and children in Ontario.

“As a Community Health Centre focused on improving the health and wellbeing of Black communities in the Greater Toronto Area, we are excited to participate in the Black Social Prescribing Project as an essential model of integrated service that will be culturally affirming and based on the lived experiences of Black communities for improving their health and wellbeing,” said Liben Gebremikael, Executive Director at TAIBU Community Health Centre, who also

serves as Chair of the Board of the Alliance for Healthier Communities.

The majority of CHCs involved in the project are Black-led and offer clinical services, physiotherapy, counselling, mental health and addictions support, diabetes management and more. Through these community-governed primary health care organizations and their providers, the Black Social Prescribing project aims to address social determinants of health, such as food security, income security, education and social connections.

The Alliance for Healthier Communities previously piloted social prescribing initiatives across 11 community health centres in Ontario, representing a diversity of urban, rural, northern, and francophone communities. The results were very promising, with clients reporting 49% decrease in sense of loneliness, 19% increase in involvement in social activities, 12% increase in self-reported sense of mental health, and increased sense of belonging.

The Black Social Prescribing Project, which is funded by the Balsam Foundation, will be implemented over the next two and a half years in four CHCs: Somerset West CHC in Ottawa, as well as Rexdale CHC, TAIBU CHC and Black Creek CHC, all located in Toronto.

5 Black Service Members Shaping Contemporary Military History (StatePoint) Black Americans have served in the U.S. Armed Forces since the Revolutionary War, paving the way for Black service members today.

“It is also important we foster an inclusive environment across the USO (United Service Organizations). One consistent finding of our service member surveys is the diverse population we serve feels welcome, supported, and included when visiting the USO,” said J.D. Crouch II, USO CEO and president. “We should feel very proud of this but always stay attuned to improving the experience for them.”

The USO is sharing five stories of modern-day service members who are shaping contemporary military history.

1. Retired Lt. General Nadja West is no stranger to being a “first.” In 2013, West became the first Black female major general of the Army’s active component, as well as the Army Medicine’s first Black female twostar general. In 2015, she became the first Black surgeon general of the Army. Finally, in 2016, she became the first Black female lieutenant general and highest-ranking woman to graduate from West Point.

With more than 20 years of experience, she’s proved herself a decisive leader, helping lead the Department of Defense (DOD) through crafting the response to the Ebola crisis, and managing an $11 billion budget and 130,000 healthcare workers when she was commanding general of Medical Command.

2. Retired Lt. Col. Shawna Rochelle Kimbrell made headlines when she became the first Black female fighter pilot for the Air Force. Throughout her school years, she set her sights on the sky. As a kindergartner, she wanted to be an astronaut, but soon shifted her focus from spaceships to jets. Determined, she joined the Civil Air Patrol, worked at air shows, earned a private pilot’s license and earned a spot in the Air Force Academy. Although naysayers told her to have a back-up plan because they believed her goals were unrealistic, to Kimbrell, that wasn’t an option. In 1988, Kimbrell graduated from the Air Force Academy and

was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in a near-unanimous vote to become the first Black defense secretary of the United States. A retired Army four-star general, he previously attended West Point and was soon comWeekend, Hyde Park missioned as a second lieutenant.
