Hope Giselle joins us to talk about her incredible journey to becoming a sought-after activist and speaker. Hope began her advocacy work fighting for inclusion and access for herself as an undergraduate at Alabama A&M University. Hope founded the university's first LGBTQ+ organization and later became the first openly trans woman to earn a Master of Fine Arts from the university. She has since built a decade-long career as an activist, author, speaker, and nonprofit founder (AllowMe). Hope has proven that nothing is off limits to her, and she has committed her life's work to ensuring the same for all others. During our conversation, we talked about the incredible life she's built fighting against marginalization, and how she manages to look so good doing it.During our conversation, Hope told us what it was like growing up in Miami and having others project their beliefs about her gender and sexuality onto her at five years old. We talked about how growing up surrounded by her stylish Caribbean family of Cuban and Haitian descent shaped her ideas about femininity and womanhood. She shared that her journey of defining and redefining herself was difficult, but at 19, a video of Janet Mock opened up new possibilities for her life. Hope talked about the most eye-opening aspects of her transition, especially at an HBCU that skews conservative about gender and sexuality. We have an incredible conversation about why there is sometimes a struggle among cis women, with being in community with our trans sisters, and how we might overcome those barriers. Hope brilliantly outlines the dangers trans people face each day, and the tangible ways we can all fight transphobia and transmisia. Of course, there was beauty talk, about the ways that the LGBTQ+ community has shaped the beauty industry across time. She also gave us her entire skincare, body care, and makeup routines.Tune in as we discuss:(00:00) Welcome Hope Giselle(4:35) What Being Caribbean Taught Hope About Gender Presentation(8:15) Early Introduction To Definitions of Queerness and Gender Identity(10:45) How Janet Mock Introduced Her To Transness(17:45) The Struggles Of Being In Community With Cis Women(26:10) Facing Violence After Being Outed(30:40) What Keeps Her In The Professional Activism Space(36:58) Why Hope Wants Accomplices, Not Allies(40:55) How To Support Trans People In Your Everyday Life(47:20) How Queer and Trans People Have Shaped The Beauty Industry(47:35) Trans Icons Across Time(55:35) Her Skincare Routine(58:39) Her Bodycare Routine(1:00:43) Favorite Makeup Products(1:04:04) Her MAC Classics (1:05:49) Hair Journey(1:12:15) When She Feels The Most BeautifulRate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on AppleJoin the Naked Beauty Community on IG: @nakedbeautyplanetThanks for all the love and support.

The spirit had vowed to put John Bell in his grave, and on a December morning in 1820 a coma, a smoky vial of black poison, and a dead barn cat proved she meant every word.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/bellwitchfinallaughREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yfpsnbfwFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Did a malevolent spirit cause the death of John Bell, or was it something else that brought his demise?

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: December, 2021Weird Darkness gathers four accounts of the inexplicable across this episode — a frontier farmer poisoned by a spirit, a midnight keyboard played by no one, the worldwide superstitions surrounding human skulls, and a hidden reading of the Watergate burglary.It opens with the death of John Bell, the Tennessee gentleman farmer remembered as the only man ever murdered by a spirit. For nearly four years the entity known as the Bell Witch had tormented his household with attacks, flying objects, and a disembodied voice, singling out Bell and his daughter Elizabeth, called Betsy, for the worst of it. On the morning of December 19, 1820, Bell could not be roused from a deep stupor, and his son John Jr. found the cupboard of prescribed medicines emptied and replaced by a smoky-looking vial holding a dark, nearly black liquid. The witch laughed over his bed and admitted she had dosed "Old Jack" the night before; when Alex Gunn brought in a barn cat and a straw of the liquid was drawn across its tongue, the animal screeched, whirled, and dropped dead. Dr. Hopson confirmed Bell had swallowed the contents, Frank Miles hurled the vial into the fire where it flared blue up the chimney, and Bell died early on December 20, 1820, never having woken.From there the episode turns to a quieter haunting, recounted by a father awakened at 1:14 a.m. on March 9, 2018 by a few composed notes from his twelve-year-old son's electronic keyboard. He found the boy sound asleep and the cat sitting upright on the bed, staring at the instrument, and when he pressed the keys himself no sound came because the power was switched off. The next morning he woke his son for school and recognized the boy's shirt, worn for the first time, as one that had belonged to his late brother, who died suddenly in 2015 and whose lifelong dream had been to play in his band, called Ghost Of. The shirt read "Rock Isn't Dead… it's just played by Ghost Of," and the brothers had shared a love of ghost stories and a standing joke that he would return to visit after death.Next comes a survey of the human skull as an object of dread and reverence stretching back through cultures on every continent, rooted in the old belief that the head housed the soul and offered a channel to the Other World. The segment weighs the disputed Celtic "Cult of the Head," with historian Ronald Hutton arguing the recurring head motif on Celtic metalwork reflects artistic fashion rather than worship, and moves through the 1612 trial of Lancashire witch Anne Chattox, hanged after she was accused of robbing graves for skulls and teeth. It gathers the screaming-skull legends of England, including Anne Griffiths of Burton Agnes Hall in Yorkshire, whose exhumed head was bricked into a staircase wall to quiet the slamming and crashing, and the skull at Bettiscombe Manor in Dorset, said to belong to an enslaved man brought from Nevis by the Pinney family and denied his promised burial in the Caribbean.The episode closes with a long, skeptical reexamination of Watergate that treats the official account as a fabrication. It returns to the June 17, 1972 arrest of five burglars inside the Democratic National Committee offices and the address book linking E. Howard Hunt to Nixon's White House, then argues, following journalist Jim Hougan's 1984 book Secret Agenda, that the men never actually bugged the building at all. James McCord, a senior figure in the CIA's Office of Security rather than the low-level technician he claimed, rented a line-of-sight surveillance room facing the wrong side of the complex, paid an employee to transcribe conversations from nonexistent wiretaps, and twice taped the stairwell locks horizontally across the door face so guards could not miss them. A key found on burglar Eugenio Martinez fit the desk of DNC secretary Ida Wells and pointed toward a suspected call-girl ring run out of the adjacent Columbia Plaza apartments, raising the possibility that Hunt and McCord, both career CIA men who lied about a decade-long association, sabotaged the break-in to shield a clandestine operation, to topple a president who had sidelined the agency, or both, taking the full truth with them to their graves.

The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.

In ‘A Room of One's Own', Virginia Woolf writes about how radical it feels to read the sentences: ‘Chloe liked Olivia. They shared a laboratory together…'. Woolf probably didn't know the work of her contemporary Jean Rhys, but if she had read ‘A Voyage in the Dark' (1934), she might well have marvelled at, and even envied, its radical realism. Rhys' story of a young woman who moves from the Caribbean to England and enters a world of financial and sexual exploitation was drawn from experiences unavailable to Woolf. In this episode, James is joined by the biographer Miranda Seymour to discuss Rhys's virtuosity of technique and detachment, her extraordinary ear for dialogue and the places where her mastery of realist method gave way to modernism.

Summer road trips sound relaxing… until this crew gets involved.Today's episode starts innocently enough with everyone sharing their summer travel plans. Arkansas suddenly becomes the hottest college destination nobody expected, Michigan's crystal-clear water gets hyped like the Caribbean, and then WalletHub drops a bombshell ranking the best and worst states for road trips. Somehow Missouri lands near the bottom thanks to safety concerns, and suddenly everyone is defending their favorite states like they're running for governor.Then things get weird.A hypothetical question sends the entire room into chaos: How much money would it take for you to live in Rhode Island and never leave? Some people are perfectly happy with seafood and lighthouses for a cool five million dollars. Others need hundreds of millions to compensate for never seeing another professional sports team again. Somehow this turns into discussions about private jets, concerts, and whether rollerblading in a Dunkin' parking lot counts as entertainment.Because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation naturally takes another hard left turn into the worst names parents have ever given their children. The gang debates names like Lester, Bertha, Eunice, Gaylord, Todd, and Hortense, with strong opinions about which names deserve comebacks and which ones sound more like plumbing parts than human beings.Along the way, there are hot takes on old-school names, celebrity confusion involving Vin Diesel's actual name, memories of cool people named Wanda, and enough sarcasm to fill several road trips.This daily comedy show somehow manages to combine travel rankings, financial planning, retirement fantasies, and naming conventions into one giant, ridiculous conversation that only The Rizzuto Show could turn into entertainment.So buckle up, lock your doors if you're driving through Missouri, and enjoy another daily comedy show filled with road trip debates, celebrity confusion, and the kind of weird discussions that happen when friends with microphones have entirely too much free time.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Summer road trips sound relaxing until somebody brings up Arkansas, somebody else starts pitching Michigan like it's the Caribbean, and then WalletHub comes in and tells Missouri it's basically a budget destination with terrible road safety.In this daily podcast, The Rizzuto Show asks the simple question: "Anybody taking a road trip this summer?" Naturally, that spirals into college visits to the University of Arkansas, debates over Michigan's crystal-clear water, and whether Walmart money is secretly funding one of the greatest business schools around.Then things take a turn.A new study ranks the best and worst states for summer road trips, and the gang cannot believe some of the results. Minnesota somehow takes the crown, Louisiana sneaks near the top, and poor Rhode Island gets crowned the absolute worst road trip destination. Delaware catches strays. California gets roasted for traffic and gas prices. Missouri lands squarely in the "could be worse…but also could be way better" category.And because no Rizz Show conversation stays on the rails, the crew ends up asking an even more important question: How much money would it take for you to spend the rest of your life trapped inside Rhode Island?Five million? Ten million? Twenty million? Half a billion?Suddenly everybody's planning seafood dinners, retirement parties, dividend income, and figuring out exactly how far into the ocean they're allowed to sail before violating the rules of their tiny state prison.It's the kind of completely normal conversation you'd expect from a daily podcast featuring road trip rankings, college recruiting pitches, geographic hypotheticals, and enough Rhode Island real estate planning to confuse an actual travel agent.If you're planning a summer getaway, thinking about a road trip, or simply enjoy hearing adults passionately debate states they've barely visited, this daily podcast has exactly the chaos you're looking for.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Man used massage gun on his tired eyeballs.

Why does the aftermath of every revolution look like a disaster -- except ours?Pigweed and Crowhill walk through the big ones. * France's Reign of Terror killed tens of thousands and left the country in chaos for a century. * Haiti's slave revolt produced 111 changes of head of state and has never stopped bleeding. * Russia's communist revolution promised a people's paradise and delivered gulags and engineered famines. * China's Cultural Revolution had students beating their teachers to death and killed sparrows until the plague came. * Cuba took one of the wealthiest islands in the Caribbean and turned it into a museum.The common threads: destroy religion, abolish private property, eliminate the old institutions, and above all — try to create a new kind of man from scratch. It never works. It always ends in mass death and tyranny.What did America do differently? The founders weren't trying to remake human nature. They weren't starting from year zero. They were British citizens who already had self-government, local institutions, and a functioning legal tradition — and they simply wanted the king to stop interfering with it.

In this episode, Tony zoomed with legendary filmmaker Brian Yuzna—the mind behind Re‑Animator, Society, and some of the wildest practical‑effects nightmares ever put on screen. Now he's turning his attention to a new project: Tales of Blood Island, a tropical fever dream blending zombies, voodoo, and the vibrant, uncanny world of Tiki Horror. From pulp comics to Polynesian mythology to mid‑century Tiki culture, Yuzna breaks down how this new anthology taps into a corner of horror that's rarely explored but instantly evocative. Brian Yuzna's Vision — Building a New Island of Horror Yuzna shares how Tales of Blood Island draws from: Classic zombie cinema and Caribbean voodoo folklore Tiki‑bar aesthetics, from carved idols to neon‑lit escapism 1960s tropical horror films, including The Brides of Blood Island The pulpy, transgressive tone of EC Comics and drive‑in creature features He talks about why the Tiki aesthetic—bright, playful, and nostalgic—becomes even more unsettling when corrupted by ritual, rot, and the supernatural. Tiki Horror — A Genre Mashup with Teeth We explore how “Tiki Horror” functions as a hybrid genre, mixing: Tropical island settings with lurking supernatural forces Tiki monster culture, from Kaiju‑adjacent beasts to cursed island guardians Haunted Tiki bars, echoing real‑world attractions like Black Lagoon or Midsummer Scream's island‑themed haunts Beach‑party innocence twisted into ritualistic dread Yuzna explains why this blend works: the clash between paradise and terror creates instant tension. Zombies & Voodoo — Returning to the Roots Yuzna digs into the cultural and cinematic history behind the project's undead elements: The difference between voodoo‑driven zombies and modern infection‑based ones How ritual, belief, and folklore shape the tone of the anthology Why the island setting allows for both intimate horror and large‑scale spectacle Crafting the Anthology — Tales Told in Blood and Bamboo He breaks down the structure of Tales of Blood Island: Standalone stories unified by the island's mythology A rotating cast of characters encountering curses, creatures, and colonial ghosts Practical effects, stylized visuals, and a comic‑book sensibility The tonal balance between camp, terror, and tropical surrealism SAVE 17% ON PLUS

In celebration of America's 250th, we'd like to officially invite you to enjoy this special episode telling the tale of that audacious, terrifying, and formative step taken by the Second Continental Congress to declare Independence in the summer of 1776. Fought over bitterly on July 1st, voted on affirmatively on the 2nd, with the exact wording finalized on the 4th—I mean, how could we not resurface episode #8's account of this story for this week? If you're new here, you may not have listened to it—here's your chance. And if you've been listening for a while, take a step back with me and remember why we revere this document. This is the story of independence and crushed hope.Congress is finally declaring independence but it isn't a straightforward process. Delegates have different perspectives; John Adams and John Dickinson are taking the floor to argue passionately for and against it. The vote will come down to the wire.It's also time to bring the "$10" Founding Father into the story. That's right. We'll meet Alexander Hamilton, get the backstory of his rough childhood in the Caribbean, and see how he ends up in the Big Apple.Speaking of NYC, George Washington has chased Lord William Howe from Boston to Manhattan, but this is a very different battlefield. He's going to have a harder go here than he did in New England.

The Global Strategy of Vergennes and the French Alliance. Guest: Professor Richard Bell. French Foreign Minister Vergennes viewed the American Revolution as a strategic opportunity to weaken the British Empire and avenge losses from the Seven Years' War. He orchestrated covert aid before committing the French military in 1778, which transformed the rebellion into a global conflict spanning the Caribbean, India, and the Mediterranean. This diversification of British resources was essential to the patriot success at Yorktown. Vergennes' calculated moves forced Britain to defend its worldwide imperial assets, ultimately making the American Revolution an international struggle for power between European empires. 61770

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Sexual assault survivor, whistleblower and overcomer, Frontwoman, singer and songwriter for the band Wisher, loving fiancee to Noah, black belt badass, belly dancing goddess, workout fanatic, creative writer, artist and poet, Pirates of the Caribbean devottee, animal lover, Pokemon card collector, special effect and set building aficionado, former Jane from Tarzan, recovering alcoholic and sobriety champion, and an incredible young woman breaking her silence for the first time today: Kayleigh KAnnA little bit about Kayleigh and what we will be discussing today: Born with dreams that refused to stay small, young Kayleigh scribbled “singer” on those childhood “what I want to be” papers. Music was never a hobby - it was destiny written in her bones. Today, as the ethereal yet thunderous voice of Wisher, Kayleigh channels that calling into symphonic metal that blends the grandeur of Nightwish, the cinematic sweep of Hans Zimmer, and the heavy fire of Avenged Sevenfold. Their music is raw, evolving, and deeply human: shorter, sharper tracks like “Aqua Devita” that feel like emotional release, harmony-laden guitars that soar like choirs, and live shows where Kayleigh performs as if every modest venue is Live Aid. She closes her eyes, sees thousands, spins, jumps, and pours out her soul - because the stage is her haven, her zone, and her way of sharing joy no matter if two people or two thousand adoring fans stand before her.Wisher itself tells a story of growth and chosen family. After years of lineup changes and compromise, the current steadfast crew of Wisher jams from the heart - meshing whimsical wonder with crushing riffs, and prioritizing real connection over perfection. The band's journey mirrors Kayleigh's own: honest, theatrical, a little intense, and utterly authentic. They've turned bar stages and club nights into sacred spaces of celebration, even when life throws emergencies, health struggles, or industry hurdles their way. Kayleigh leads with love, canceling shows if a bandmate needs care - always choosing mental health and family over deadlines, because she knows what truly matters.Yet Kayleigh's light shines brightest against the shadows. She has looked unflinchingly at the entertainment industry's underbelly - its documented ties to exploitation and human trafficking - and refused to dim her own path. A survivor herself who carries the weight of knowing too much, she re-evaluated her dreams rather than selling her soul for fame. She speaks openly about the darkness: artists lost, survivors silenced, monopolies like Live Nation squeezing out local voices, and the ethical cost of “success.” Her response? Double down on integrity, support real artists who build with heart and entrepreneurship, treat music as ministry, prioritize purpose over profit, and fiercely protect what is sacred.And on today's show, Kayleigh will be breaking the silence on her own story of survival - a life-altering, traumatic event and aftermath that changed her life forever. A testimony of ultimate betrayal by people she loved, trusted, and cared deeply about. And together, we will be taking off the heavy layers of guilt and shame that have weighted heavy on her heart and soul for many years, and shedding them - handing them back to those who caused the betrayal that was never supposed to happen. Kayleigh has spent years advocating for others - she has loudly been cheering on the survivor community - learning, educating others, and being an incredible ally - all while silently harboring a testimony of her own. And today that silence breaks. Today, a bright light gets shined on the darkness. And today, Kayleigh's voice expands from singing on stages and her online advocacy, and into the eyes and ears of those ready to bear witness to her own story of overcoming. Today, she passes the torch she has received from other survivors in her own healing journey to all of you here with us today. Kayleigh is proof that survivors don't just endure - they rise, they sing, they uplift. In her music and her message, she hands us back our own light: the reminder that we all have a soul, a purpose, and the power to create beauty anyway. She is living testimony that no matter what you've survived, your voice can still shake the world with love.

Today with Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson: Build a Luxury Window Treatment Business Without a Workroom Today with Jim Davis-Johnson of Jim Davis Designs, we get into what it takes to build and run a high-end luxury window treatment business. Jim shares how he grew his company from working in his mother's South Georgia business since seventh grade to running a multimillion-dollar brand serving high-end designers and discerning clients from Atlanta to the Caribbean, all without his own workroom. We talk about the non-negotiables of serving luxury clients: how to present yourself and your brand, how to build vendor relationships that maintain impeccable quality at scale, and how to price properly so you can say yes to every client request without resentment or burnout. Jim gets candid about the hard lessons he's learned along the way and shares why managing your own expectations is the key to running a profitable, sustainable business. If you've been wondering how to elevate your business, attract higher-caliber clients, or work successfully with production workrooms while maintaining custom-level quality, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap. More About Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson is the Principal Designer and Aesthetic Artist behind Jim Davis Designs, a luxury window-treatment and soft-goods atelier headquartered in Midtown Atlanta. Since founding the company in 2015, Jim has grown his firm from a one-man operation into a multimillion-dollar brand known for its bespoke craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and elevated client experience. His portfolio spans high-end residential, boutique hospitality, and commercial projects across the U.S., the Caribbean, and beyond, including ongoing work in Antigua and luxury communities throughout the Southeast. Jim brings a rare blend of artistic intuition, technical expertise, and personal depth to his work. Raised in South Georgia in a family dynamic that shaped both his resilience and his drive, Jim built his company from the ground up with no shortcuts, relying on determination, curiosity, and a vision for beauty that felt both healing and purposeful. His upbringing gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to how spaces make people feel, something that now guides every design decision he makes. Jim's spiritual growth, including transformative experiences with meditation and therapy, has influenced his belief that design is far more than aesthetics. For him, window treatments are an expression of intention: they soften emotions, shift energy, and elevate the way people engage with their homes. He approaches each project as an opportunity to bring clarity, harmony, and beauty into a client's life, grounding his creative process in mindfulness and the power of meaningful service. Now, since April 2025, based in a street-front Midtown Atlanta showroom with over 22,000 cars passing by daily, Jim leads a team alongside his husband and lead installer, Rickey Davis-Johnson. Together, they provide full-service fabrication, project management, and installation, with a reputation for delivering flawless results and building lasting relationships with designers, architects, builders, and homeowners. Jim's work is increasingly in demand, from Florida's coveted 30A corridor to mountain homes in North Georgia, Kentucky horse country, international island estates, and major metropolitan projects. His recent launch of a national quick-ship drapery program and growing e-commerce platform has positioned Jim Davis Designs as a leader not only in custom luxury fabrication, but also in accessible, ready-to-ship window fashions for design-forward clients nationwide. With a philosophy rooted in intention, authenticity, and the belief that design can be both luxurious and deeply meaningful, Jim continues to expand his influence as a designer, entrepreneur, and storyteller. His journey, from overcoming adversity to building a brand grounded in service, craftsmanship, and soul, reflects the heart of his work and the spirit he brings to every project.

In this episode of the Can We Talk R&B podcast, host Ian Von sits down with London-raised, Guyanese-rooted R&B artist Ama (Ama Lou) to unpack her new era — a “fearless reset” that strips away cryptic storytelling in favor of direct, deeply personal songwriting. Ama opens up about moving from hiding behind aesthetics to writing from her real life, the vulnerability behind her viral duet “Needed U Bad” with Brent Faiyaz, and how Caribbean culture, London upbringing, and long-time friendships with artists like Brent and Tyler, The Creator inform her sound. They also dig into intimacy, desire, and modern relationships, the ebb and flow of honesty in R&B, the importance of creative control across music, visuals, and fashion, plus what fans can expect from her upcoming tour with Ella Mai.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cedric Walker. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to highlight visionary entrepreneurship, cultural ownership, and perseverance, using Cedric Walker’s founding of Universoul Circus as a case study in building a purpose‑driven business that uplifts community while achieving long‑term success. The conversation emphasizes how research, resilience, cultural authenticity, and belief in a vision can overcome skepticism and systemic barriers. It also positions Universoul Circus as more than entertainment—it is a multigenerational cultural institution rooted in Black excellence, inclusion, and family unity. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Vision Comes Before Validation Cedric Walker shares that the vision for Universoul Circus came in the early 1990s, long before there was widespread belief that a Black‑owned circus centered on performers of color could succeed. Despite strong skepticism from both Black and white investors, Walker trusted the research, the cultural need, and his instinct. Key takeaway: Vision must lead—even when validation comes much later. 2. Research Turns Ideas Into Reality Walker did not rely on inspiration alone. He immersed himself in research, studying Black entertainment history, circus traditions, and global performance art. This foundation allowed him to confidently build a unique, sustainable model rather than copying existing formats. Key takeaway: Preparation and research are critical when challenging industry norms. 3. Cultural Authenticity Is a Competitive Advantage Universoul Circus was created to be authentically Black, not as a niche product, but as a universal experience rooted in joy, music, athleticism, and storytelling. Walker emphasizes that authenticity—not adaptation—is what attracts diverse audiences. Key takeaway: When you are fully yourself, your work transcends culture and geography. 4. Family‑Centered Entertainment Fills a Real Need A defining goal of Universoul Circus is to create an experience where multiple generations can sit together and all feel seen, engaged, and celebrated. Walker intentionally designed the show so grandparents, parents, and children could enjoy the same experience simultaneously. Key takeaway: Businesses that bring families together create lasting emotional value. 5. Evolution Without Losing Identity Over time, Universoul Circus evolved—from including animals to becoming a modern, high‑energy, animal‑free production—adapting to changing laws, audience preferences, and cultural shifts. However, Walker notes that the soul of the circus never changed. Key takeaway: Successful brands evolve operationally without abandoning their purpose. 6. Global Talent, Long‑Term Investment Walker details how Universoul Circus sources talent from around the world, including Ethiopia, Cuba, China, and the Caribbean. Performers often undergo years of training and development before appearing in the show, reinforcing Universoul’s commitment to excellence and safety. Key takeaway: Excellence requires patience, investment, and a long‑term mindset. 7. Representation Changes Perception Universoul Circus intentionally showcases elite Black performers in spaces where they were historically unseen or undervalued. Walker explains that representation is not symbolic—it reshapes belief and possibility for both audiences and performers. Key takeaway: Representation is not aesthetic; it is transformative. 8. Perseverance Creates Legacy Celebrating over 30 years of operation, Universoul Circus stands as proof that staying committed to purpose through adversity leads to longevity. Walker sees the circus as a living legacy and a foundation for future cultural innovation. Key takeaway: Longevity is built by staying the course when others doubt the destination. Notable Quotes “Vision comes to you like that—you have to trust it.” “Nobody believed it would work, but I felt it in my gut and in my research.” “Our goal was to stay authentically Black—that’s what transcends culture.” “We wanted something where a grandmother, a father, and a child could all enjoy the same show.” “Nothing you see is by chance. Everything has meaning.” “We invested years into these performers before they ever hit our stage.” “This is more than a circus—it’s a family reunion under the big top.” Overall Message Cedric Walker’s interview is a masterclass in cultural entrepreneurship. It demonstrates how creativity, courage, and conviction can transform an idea into an enduring institution. His journey with Universoul Circus reinforces that purpose, preparation, and persistence are the true drivers of success—especially when building something that challenges expectations. The conversation ultimately affirms that when a business is rooted in authenticity and community, it can achieve both economic sustainability and cultural impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAW #AMISee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

18-year-old Anna Kepner was on a family cruise in the Caribbean aboard the Carnival Horizon in November 2025 when she was later found dead under circumstances that triggered a federal investigation. Prosecutors allege the person responsible is her 16-year-old stepbrother, Timothy Hudson, who has pleaded not guilty. The case remains pre-trial, and all claims are allegations that have not been proven in court. According to newly unsealed court records, Anna was sharing Cabin 8343 with her stepbrother and younger half-brother during the trip. Prosecutors say surveillance footage shows Anna entering the cabin and never being seen alive again, while a detailed timeline tracks activity in and around the room over several hours. Investigators also point to Snapchat activity, ship security footage, WiFi and device tracking data, and a damaged cell phone later recovered from a trash can on the ship as key pieces of evidence in the case. Prosecutors allege Anna died from mechanical asphyxiation inside the cabin and was later found hidden under a bed. They also say DNA evidence plays a central role in their case, while the defense disputes those conclusions and argues the evidence does not definitively prove responsibility. Timothy Hudson has been released under strict electronic monitoring while awaiting trial, which is currently scheduled for September 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.

Set sail for New Orleans Square in this episode of Sent from Disneyland as we explore two postcards connected to one of Disneyland's most beloved attractions: Pirates of the Caribbean. The first postcard, mailed in 1970, captures a panoramic view of New Orleans Square with the Pirates entrance, Royal Street storefronts, and the charming details that made the land feel like a living piece of old New Orleans. A note from a family vacationing across Southern California provides a glimpse into a classic road trip that included Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Inspired by a recent reading of X Atencio: The Legacy of an Artist, Imagineer and Disney Legend, the history segment takes a deep dive into the remarkable contributions of Disney Legend X Atencio. From writing and storyboarding Pirates of the Caribbean to creating the auction scene, helping shape the attraction's narrative structure, and co-writing "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)" with George Bruns, X left an unforgettable mark on Disneyland history. Along the way, we revisit Walt Disney's famous advice about treating the attraction like a cocktail party—allowing guests to discover something new with every voyage. The second postcard, featuring Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox greeting guests in New Orleans Square in 1976, leads to another fascinating chapter of Pirates history: the creation of "No Dough Productions." This informal group of Disney employees and Imagineers provided voices for attractions, helping bring Pirates of the Caribbean to life while keeping production costs under control. We explore X Atencio's own voice contributions, including the iconic talking skull that welcomes guests into the attraction. To close the show, an incoming postcard arrives from London featuring a classic red Royal Mail post box near St. Paul's Cathedral. The beautiful artwork, international postage, and reflections on weather, postcards, and summer correspondence provide the perfect ending to an episode devoted to storytelling through both attractions and the mail. From Royal Street and pirate shanties to talking skulls and London post boxes, this episode celebrates the creativity, artistry, and history that continue to make Pirates of the Caribbean one of Disneyland's enduring treasures.

What storytelling do most people miss in the Pirates of the Caribbean queue while they are waiting in line? And what bizarre detail dates back to Disneyland's opening day?On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we examine the history of the exterior facade and queue for Disneyland's iconic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Along the way, we find some history that most people overlook, like an odd old tree with some history, a mysterious anchor, and a sign of welcome in plain sight. Kirk gives us a botanical tour of the plants in the queue, Kate points out some features of New Orleans Square that have a hidden meaning, and we both question the effectiveness of the flyover bridge.As we discover architectural concepts and original Imagineering documents throughout this episode, we discover that this exterior queue has so many fascinating details you'll (almost) get excited to stand in line for this classic Disney ride. Join us LIVE on YouTube every week!

This conversation explores how American Jewish World Service understands global justice as an expression of human dignity, solidarity, and the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to live a full and flourishing life. Through stories from Uganda, Kenya, and beyond, Joannine Nanyange describes how AJWS partners with grassroots movements fighting for LGBTQ rights, health access, democracy, and human rights, emphasizing accompaniment rather than charity and agency rather than dependency. Elizabeth Richman connects that work to Jewish teachings about responsibility, arguing that Judaism calls people to expand their circle of concern beyond themselves and to take action when confronted with injustice. In a deeply interconnected world, the struggles of distant communities are never truly distant, and hope is sustained through relationships, shared responsibility, and the collective work of building a more just future. American Jewish World Service (AJWS)is the leading Jewish organization working to fight poverty and defend human rights in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. We respond to pressing global issues—from humanitarian disasters, authoritarianism and the climate crisis, to the persecution of women and minorities—by supporting hundreds of social change organizations on three continents and advocating for U.S. and international policies protecting human rights. Our supporters are primarily members of the Jewish community, but our work helps people of all religions, races and ethnicities. With Jewish values and a global reach, AJWS is making a difference in millions of lives and building a more just and equitable world for all.   Joaninne Nanyange (she/they) is an attorney with over 13 years of leadership experience in the field of sexual health and rights. Her legal background spans grassroots legal advocacy to global grantmaking, giving her a unique perspective on the needs of the movements AJWS supports. As the Director of AJWS's Sexual Health and Rights team, Joaninne leads a portfolio of seven countries, supporting grassroots movements advancing the rights of women, girls and LGBTQI+ communities. She is also widely recognized as a trusted thought leader in the African sexual health and rights landscape. Rabbi Elizabeth Richman (she/her) leads AJWS's Jewish Engagement team, working with American Jewish clergy, community leaders, and institutions to advance AJWS's mission. Before coming to AJWS, she spent 13 years in executive leadership at Jews United for Justice (JUFJ). Ordained at JTS, Elizabeth is actively involved in the work of the Jewish Social Justice Roundtable and is a senior fellow of the Shalom Hartman Institute. She currently serves on the steering committee of Interfaith Power & Light (DC.MD.NoVa) and previously served as co-chair of the DC Jobs with Justice board and as a member of the Interfaith Worker Justice board. She has also served on the Rabbinical Assembly's Social Action Commission, the Resolutions Committee, and the Rabbinic Career Development Commission.

Most of us know what a fork in the road feels like. You've got a heavy decision to make. There are at least two possible paths. And when you're at the fork, you know it's time to choose which way to go and that you will have to live with your choice. What can be so surprising is how often fear has been driving the decision-making over the years. Not us. Fear. Dressed up as reason, responsibility, and common sense. In this episode, Suzy revisits the Forks in the Road concept from Episode 335 but takes it somewhere much deeper. She shares a personal realization she had recently about her own 1982 fork in the road, when she was accepted into a university program in the Caribbean and turned it down. She'd told that story before. But this time, she finally connected it to experiences from earlier in her life that explained, clearly and with compassion, why that fear made complete sense at the time…and as an older and wiser woman over 40 years later, why it may no longer apply to the woman she is now.  Learn more here.

Here's what you need to know for Vincy Mas 2026. St. Vincent and Grenadines is known to have the HOTTEST carnival in the Caribbean. 

It's Wednesday, June 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark European Christians faced 37 hate crimes in 11 countries Attacks against Christians in Europe surged last month. A report from the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe documented the incidents.  Christians faced 37 verified hate crimes in May across 11 European countries. These incidents included arson, vandalism, physical violence, theft, and disruption of worship services. Arson attacks against Christian properties were the highest on record this year. Germany saw the most anti-Christian hate crimes followed by Italy, France, Poland, and Ireland.  More Spanish Catholics leaving  the church A report from the Spanish government found the number of Catholics in the country is falling. Over 55 percent of the Spanish population identifies as Roman Catholic, down from 90 percent in the 1980s. Meanwhile, secularism is gaining in the historically Catholic country. Forty percent of the population identifies with no religion. Catholicism did see gains among young people. Forty-seven percent of people under 25 say they are Catholic, up from 31 percent in 2023. Oil prices dropped since Trump announced peace deal with Iran Oil prices fell to the lowest levels since March on Monday. This came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal with Iran to end the war between the two countries.  Prices for Brent crude oil, the global benchmark, fell nearly four percent on Monday. West Texas Intermediate crude oil prices, the benchmark for North America, fell by over five percent.  Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “I think a lot of great things are going to happen in the Middle East right now. And very importantly, the oil is plummeting down, and the stock market is shooting up like a rocket today, like record kind of numbers. “The oil has taken its biggest plunge. And we're into the low numbers, not quite back yet, but we're getting close to the numbers we were before it all started. And the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agree to that.” 60 U.S. abortion mills closed since January 2025 Nearly 60 American abortion mills shut down since last January. The Trump administration withheld federal grant payments from 144 Planned Parenthood locations in 20 states last year. A report from the pro-abortion Kaiser Family Foundation found that 57 Planned Parenthood locations shut down over the last 18 months.  Churchgoing kids twice as likely to attend church as adults The Institute for Family Studies released a report entitled, “Passing The Torch: How Faith Moves Across Generations.” The study found that children from churchgoing families were twice as likely to attend church as adults compared to children from non-churchgoing families.  Healthy marriages also contributed to children practicing faith in adulthood.   Psalm 71:17-18 says, “O God, from my youth You have taught me, and I still proclaim Your wondrous deeds. So, even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim Your might to another generation, Your power to all those to come.” 58 percent approve of out-of-wedlock baby today vs. 70 percent in 2022 A new survey from Gallup found that Americans are becoming more conservative on certain social issues.  Eighty-three percent of U.S. adults believe birth control is morally acceptable. But that's down from a high of 92 percent in 2022. Fifty-eight percent believe having a baby outside of marriage is acceptable, down from 70 percent in 2022. And 49 percent support abortion, down from a high of 54 percent in 2024. German and Curaçao World Cup soccer players prayed together And finally, a recent World Cup game ended with players praying together on the pitch.  Over the weekend, the German national football team faced off against the team from Curaçao. The island nation in the Caribbean is the smallest nation to qualify for the World Cup.  Germany won handily with a score of seven to one. But that didn't stop players from both teams huddling together to pray after the game.  German midfielder Felix Nmecha said, “In the game we are opponents, but after the match we are all Christians and brothers. We simply said a little prayer together because we are all very grateful.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 says, “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, June 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

A $300,000 real estate purchase in Panama can get you permanent residency and a second passport.Steve Luther runs Cord Real Estate, a boutique firm based in Nashville that helps American investors buy property abroad. After a serious health crisis, Steve and his wife stumbled into Panama while looking for a Caribbean property with better healthcare access, and ended up buying two investment properties there themselves. In this episode, Steve breaks down why Panama has quietly become one of the strongest hedges against US market volatility for real estate investors: a currency pegged one to one with the US dollar, low property taxes and insurance thanks to its location below the hurricane belt, and a residency by investment program that turns a $300,000 real estate purchase into permanent residency, with full citizenship available after five years. Steve also walks through what that money actually buys on the ground, how financing works for Americans buying through Panamanian banks, and what tends to derail a transaction. If you've ever wondered what buying property abroad actually involves, beyond the highlight reel, this episode lays it out.Key TopicsHow Panama's golden visa program works, and what a $300,000 purchase actually gets youThe retirement (Pensionado) program and its travel, dining, and entertainment discountsWhy the dollar peg and hurricane-free location keep currency and insurance risk lowHow an American gets a mortgage through a Panamanian bankWhat typically derails a Panama real estate transaction, and how it compares to a US closingGuest BioSteve Luther has been in real estate for 24 years and runs Cord Real Estate, a Nashville-based firm that has helped clients invest in residential, commercial, and international property for the past decade, including direct experience buying and managing property in Panama himself.Links

I always keep a copy in my pocket, and I share it with people who are curious about our standards. It has been updated and refreshed to better cope with the challenges and temptations of our day. The new version of For the Strength of Youth is available online in 50 different languages and will also be available in print. It will be a significant help for making choices in your life. Please embrace it as your own and share it with your friends. This new version of For the Strength of Youth is subtitled A Guide for Making Choices. To be very clear, the best guide you can possibly have for making choices is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the strength of youth. So the purpose of For the Strength of Youth is to point you to Him. It teaches you eternal truths of His restored gospel—truths about who you are, who He is, and what you can accomplish with His strength. It teaches you how to make righteous choices based on those eternal truths.13 It's also important to know what For the Strength of Youth does not do. It doesn't make decisions for you. It doesn't give you a “yes” or “no” about every choice you might ever face. For the Strength of Youth focuses on the foundation for your choices. It focuses on values, principles, and doctrine instead of every specific behavior. The Lord, through His prophets, has always been guiding us in that direction. He is pleading with us to “increase [our] spiritual capacity to receive revelation.”14 He is inviting us to “hear Him.”15 He is calling us to follow Him in higher and holier ways.16 And we are learning in a similar way every week in Come, Follow Me.     ACU Endorsed Charities -------------------------------------------------------- Pre-Born!

Listeners to the Eric Metaxas Show will remember our annual effort to free Christians who have been enslaved for simply acknowledging Jesus Christ as their Savior. As we celebrate the birth of Christ this Christmas, join us in giving new life to brothers and sisters in Sudan who have enslaved as a result of their faith. https://csi-usa.org/metaxas   https://csi-usa.org/slavery/   Typical Aid for the Enslaved A ration of sorghum, a local nutrient-rich staple food A dairy goat A “Sack of Hope,” a survival kit containing essential items such as tarp for shelter, a cooking pan, a water canister, a mosquito net, a blanket, a handheld sickle, and fishing hooks. Release celebrations include prayer and gathering for a meal, and medical care for those in need. The CSI team provides comfort, encouragement, and a shoulder to lean on while they tell their stories and begin their new lives. Thank you for your compassion  Giving the Gift of Freedom and Hope to the Enslaved South Sudanese -------------------------------------------------------- Food For The Poor https://foodforthepoor.org/ Help us serve the poorest of the poor Food For The Poor began in 1982 in Jamaica. Today, our interdenominational Christian ministry serves the poor in primarily 17 countries throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks to our faithful donors, we are able to provide food, housing, healthcare, education, fresh water, emergency relief, micro-enterprise solutions and much more. We are proud to have fed millions of people and provided more than 15.7 billion dollars in aid. Our faith inspires us to be an organization built on compassion, and motivated by love. Our mission is to bring relief to the poorest of the poor in the countries where we serve. We strive to reflect God's unconditional love. It's a sacrificial love that embraces all people regardless of race or religion. We believe that we can show His love by serving the “least of these” on this earth as Christ challenged us to do in Matthew 25. We pray that by God's grace, and with your support, we can continue to bring relief to the suffering and hope to the hopeless.
