Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Shakira's global stardom has blazed even brighter blending philanthropy art pop sensation and historical homecomings. According to AllHipHop and as widely covered in international news Shakira just joined superstar The Weeknd on the newly launched FIFA Global Citizen Education Board aimed at steering a 100 million dollar campaign to help children access education worldwide—a mission that is as ambitious as her artistic career. This huge initiative announced by FIFA and Global Citizen includes other luminaries like Serena Williams and Ivanka Trump and will leverage their combined platforms to reach 100000 kids in over 200 communities. With more than 350 million children currently out of school Shakira's involvement is being spotlighted as both strategic and deeply personal underscoring her ongoing dedication to social issues which look likely to define her legacy as much as her music.But it's not just in boardrooms and philanthropy where Shakira is making noise. The singer just performed two sold-out concerts in Cali Colombia over the past weekend creating what Spreaker described as a triumphant homecoming moment cheered on by fans and media alike. These concert dates come as part of Shakira's monumental Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour which began earlier this year in Brazil and is already setting records for attendance and gross receipts. Billions in production dollars are reportedly behind this globe-spanning tour which sees Shakira herself calling it the most ambitious of her career with bigger venues added across the Americas to meet overwhelming demand. Adjustments remain par for the course—recent cancellations included Miami and Inglewood due to local protests and San Antonio owing to venue issues—but each time she emerges back on stage to sold-out crowds and standing ovations. Her shows have featured surprise duets with Latin stars like Maluma Ozuna and Alejandro Sanz and this October she drew viral attention on Instagram sharing behind-the-scenes footage from her tour rehearsals clearly signaling her direct involvement in every stage detail.There is more on the horizon—NosEnchanteurs confirms Shakira's November will include three headline concerts in Ecuador lighting up a new swath of South American audiences. Social media has been ablaze with anticipation for these dates especially given her historic return to Colombia and the critical acclaim surrounding her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. Pop culture coverage continues to be dominated by Shakira's life on and off stage with her activism concert spectacles and infectious social posts keeping her trending worldwide. Her appearance in FIFA's headline-grabbing campaign and her relentless tour momentum are not just newsworthy events but milestones certain to endure in the story of one of music's most influential icons.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

"Rajiv's books have been an important part of awareness building. And now we often get people who are activated, who have read Rajiv's books- say, Invading the Sacred or The Battle for Sanskrit or Indra's Net. Now, all of a sudden, they've been awakened to all of these different ecosystems and ideologies that have kept our civilization from tapping into our history, into our identity, in the way that we talk about ourselves and who we are has been constricted by a Western or Abrahamic framework. In some sense, it kind of becomes the entry point for anyone who's read any of Rajiv's books to want to become an activist, which, of course, is great for the Hindu American Foundation."- Suhag A.

Bad Bunny, known to many as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been at the center of both music and cultural news this week, fueled by recent events and ongoing headlines. In the past several days, his name surged again after Speaker of the House Mike Johnson criticized his selection as next year's Super Bowl halftime headliner, going as far as to call Bad Bunny a “terrible” choice and labeling him “not a good role model.” According to TMZ Live on October 8, this has reignited public debate and led to intense discourse across social media, especially in the wake of former president Donald Trump's earlier disparaging comments about the NFL's pick. Despite the backlash from certain political figures, TMZ's coverage highlights how Bad Bunny remains hugely popular with a diverse range of fans, with voices across the Latino community pushing back against the criticism and emphasizing his global influence.Also making waves was Bad Bunny's attendance at Yankee Stadium this week, where social media lit up after a video clip circulated of him and his entourage seated during “God Bless America” in the seventh inning stretch. Amid the patriotic moment, fans online split between supporting his right to remain seated and those calling out what they perceived as disrespectful. The moment sparked discussions throughout Twitter and TikTok, adding another layer to the ongoing debate around his growing role as a cultural lightning rod.On the music front, Bad Bunny continues to celebrate the success of his sixth solo album, “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” The album, released January 2025, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was described by the Lagos Review as his “most introspective project to date.” It blends reggaeton and house music while drawing heavily on traditional Puerto Rican sounds and themes of nostalgia and cultural identity. Songs like “Pitorro de Coco,” which was released as a holiday single, and the chart-dominating “DTMF” have resonated especially strongly with fans, bolstered by creative collaborations and a deeply reflective tone. Wikipedia notes that every track from the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100, making Bad Bunny the first Latin artist to achieve more than 100 separate entries on the chart—a testament to his continued reach and relevance.His “No Me Quiero Ir de Aquí” residency in San Juan's Coliseo during July through September brought in over 600,000 attendees and reportedly boosted the Puerto Rican economy by $250 million, according to Moody Analytics, with additional spending nearing $400 million. The success of this residency led straight into plans for the “Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour,” set to kick off next month. Bad Bunny made headlines by specifically excluding U.S. cities from the tour due to concerns over ICE activity at large Latino gatherings, instead focusing on Europe, Australia, Japan, and Latin America. His statement emphasized a decision motivated by care for his fans' safety, not animosity toward previous U.S. successes.Music sites and industry commentators have also been buzzing about glimpses of Bad Bunny's cameo in the new trailer for Adam Sandler's “Happy Gilmore 2,” a further example of his expanding global profile and pop culture crossovers.Thank you for tuning in, and make sure to come back next week for more on the biggest names and stories in music and culture.

Send us a textBrand authority doesn't start with a logo—it begins with a decision about how you want to show up. We sit down with Ann Marie Sorrell, president and CEO of the Mosaic Group, to unpack the strategy, grit, and heart behind a 20‑year journey from West Palm Beach to a growing Caribbean footprint. Ann Marie breaks down positioning that goes beyond aesthetics, showing how message, culture, and behavior align to create trust. Then she gets practical about content: why story matters, how to tailor for each platform, and what it takes to move people from scrolling to action.The conversation turns personal and powerful as Ann Marie recounts surviving the recession, canceled contracts, and foreclosure by clinging to a single Plan A and a daily bias for execution. That resilience paved the way for a bold move during the pandemic—scaling a regional forum into the National Black Economic Conference with global voices and tangible resources for Black entrepreneurs. We talk about designing events around outcomes, not optics, and building communities that leave with pathways, not platitudes.Ann Marie also opens the door to a complex, high‑growth space: cannabis. When rooms stayed closed, she built a new table through Cannabisiac to advance equity, access, and education in a highly regulated industry. We explore how to turn advocacy into credibility, translate policy into opportunity, and help underrepresented founders participate across the value chain. Finally, she unveils Mosaic Global Group, a unified structure that ties marketing, tech, coworking, philanthropy, and M&A into one platform built for scale and impact.If you're a founder, marketer, or leader hungry for clear positioning, smarter content, and resilient execution, this conversation is your playbook for turning vision into a movement.

This episode is a live panel from Stellar's Meridian 2025 conference at Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro. The panel, hosted by BCR founder Aaron Stanley, explores stablecoin adoption for local solutions in emerging markets. Joining him are:- Sebastian Siseles, CEO of Vesseo- Ibrahim Abdul Hussein, CEO, Digibank- Camila Rioja, Executive Director of Plexus Institute - Justin Norman, founder of The FlipThe conversation reveals that successful crypto adoption hinges on deep localization rather than technological sophistication. - Ibrahim shares how Digibank created a 2,000+ location cash-out network across war-torn MENA regions where traditional remittance services don't exist, serving users who may not even own smartphones. - Camila discusses bringing Brazil's 180+ existing community currencies on-chain to enhance transparency in public goods distribution without disrupting established systems. - Sebastian explains how Vesseo abstracts blockchain complexity entirely, soon launching crypto-to-fiat cards that convert USDC at point-of-sale. The panel's consensus: the most impactful projects hide the technology, solve hyper-local problems, and meet users within their existing financial behaviors rather than demanding adoption of entirely new paradigms-------------------------------------------------------------------

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has dominated headlines and stages in the past few days with a blend of artistry and activism that continues to shape her legacy. The most significant recent development comes from New York, where Shakira and Cardi B headlined the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, electrifying a crowd of about 60000 people. The event—which is dedicated to ending extreme poverty and driving climate action—saw Shakira deliver a set that married her classic hits with powerful messages about global responsibility. The night was billed as more than just a concert, turning into a rally for change, with Hugh Jackman, who hosted for the eleventh time, reinforcing the idea that individual actions can shift the world. According to Azat TV and Hindustan Times, Shakira's presence was the emotional high point of the evening, her unmistakable voice and Colombian pride inspiring both the crowd and millions more following online. Her advocacy was not just stage-deep; tickets to the festival were earned through activism, further blurring the lines between entertainment and mobilization.On the business front, Shakira's Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour remains a blockbuster global enterprise. Kicking off in February in Rio de Janeiro, the tour is her first major outing in seven years and, as she told GQ España, it is “the most ambitious tour of my entire career the biggest production I've had so far...I deserve the tour of my life.” According to Wikipedia, the tour is set to wrap up in Buenos Aires this December after criss-crossing dozens of cities, with a record-breaking 22 shows in Mexico alone. Production values are sky-high, with elaborate staging, custom-designed costumes, and even AI-generated visuals, reflecting meticulous months of preparation and Shakira's deep involvement in every artistic and technical detail. The tour has faced occasional hiccups, including a recent postponement in Santo Domingo for operational reasons and select South American dates moved due to health and logistics, but fan enthusiasm appears undented.In terms of public appearances and media, Shakira has ridden a wave of positive press. This past week, she drew notice after posting on Instagram to congratulate Bad Bunny for his upcoming headline at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, cheering, “Aquí va mi gente latina!!” signaling not only support for her colleagues but a continued commitment to uplifting Latin music on global stages. This shoutout quickly circulated, with The News and social media users sharing her celebration across Twitter and Instagram.Fans are also buzzing about her current setlists, with recent shows featuring both iconic hits like Hips Don't Lie and newer works embraced by sold-out arenas, as tracked by JamBase. There have been no credible reports of new scandals, controversies, or speculative stories about the singer in the official press the past few days. Every indicator points to an artist not only at the peak of her creative powers but leveraging that platform to champion global causes, celebrate her community, and continually reinvent what it means to be a superstar with substance.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

On this episode of Mongabay's weekly podcast, we look at nature through the lens of wildlife photographer and senior marketing associate at Mongabay, Alejandro Prescott-Cornejo, the multilingual staffer charged with sharing the team's reporting and mission with the world. Prescott-Cornejo details how his work with Mongabay intersects with his passion for wildlife photography, what makes a good photo, and how anyone can connect with nature by getting to know their own “local patch.” “There are so many beautiful things, whether big or small, that can be very, very close to you — and you don't need to go photograph the biggest animals, just photograph what's close,” he says. His photography — along with images created by three of his colleagues, including Mongabay founder and CEO Rhett A. Butler — is currently on display at an exhibition at the Linden Street Gallery near Boston. The show's theme of “Biophilia,” which celebrates humanity's love for nature, also refers to Mongabay's recent receipt of the Biophilia Award for Environmental Communication, and is on view until Nov. 4, 2025. Readers and podcast listeners are invited to showcase their own wildlife photography by entering Mongabay's “Wildlife Wonders” photo contest: starting on Oct. 1, just post your best wildlife image at Instagram and tag it with #MongabayWildlifeWonders and @mongabay in the description for a chance to be featured. The contest will accept entries until Oct. 22. Find the Mongabay Newscast wherever you listen to podcasts, from Apple to Spotify. All past episodes are also listed here at the Mongabay website.

For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry. Family Hope Centers offer resources, education, and Christ-centered training, bringing lasting transformation to entire communities.How You Can JoinTogether, we're striving to provide 1,000 children with shoes, socks, and the message of God's love.$15 provides one child with shoes and socks.$150 equips ten children.Visit GiveShoesToday.org to make your gift and bring hope to a child in need.Shoes may seem ordinary, but in the life of a child, they are extraordinary. They represent safety, opportunity, dignity, and above all, the love of Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 40 and have several old 401(k) accounts from past employers.

In this episode, the Guy welcomed David Hulse to delve into the fascinating world of energetics and frequency. David Hulse, an ex-minister with profound insights into spirituality and energy work, shared his journey and how he transitioned from traditional religious teachings to exploring quantum physics and vibration healing. The conversation touched upon the human body's connection to universal energy, the significance of tuning forks in energetic healing, and the concept of transitioning from 3D to 5D consciousness. David emphasized the importance of working towards breakthrough rather than merely fixing what's breaking down and provides insight into how vibrations and frequencies can facilitate deep spiritual and physical healing. The episode offers a holistic perspective on contemporary spiritual awakening and practical tools for harnessing energy for self-healing. About David: David Hulse, C.V.S.M.T. (Certified Vibrational Sound Master Teacher) combines his 60 years of experience as a motivational speaker with years of research in metaphysics, science, sound and spirituality to bring you a unique and empowering experience. Participants in David's workshops invariably comment that they had no idea how powerful the experience was going to be. David's ability to gather all the fragments of truth from many different disciplines helps bring all of your experiences up to now into focus. Participants tell us that things in their life that seemed separate and fragmented suddenly come together after spending the weekend with David. We invite you to come and experience an empowering and inspiring weekend with David Hulse and experience the power of SomaEnergetics!  At the turn of the century, David's accelerating interest and research into the lost frequencies of the Ancient Solfeggio, served as the Spirit-Guided catalyst for SomaEnergetics – a technique whereby the Solfeggio Tuning Forks help facilitate the releasing of energy to flow more easily. These custom-made forks, as well as training classes in the SomaEnergetics Vibrational Sound Techniques, including the Energy Vitality Technique are available exclusively through SomaEnergetics.

Alzheimer's is not inevitable—and it may even be optional. In this groundbreaking episode, you'll learn how to prevent, slow, and in some cases reverse cognitive decline using strategies that also enhance brain optimization, metabolism, and longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned neurologist and leading Alzheimer's researcher who has published over 240 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Bredesen has spent decades proving that Alzheimer's is not a one-pathway disease but a network failure driven by inflammation, toxins, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His protocol has helped thousands of patients regain memory, extend healthspan, and reclaim brain performance. Together, they unpack how biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, supplements, sleep optimization, cold therapy, and functional medicine can rewire neuroplasticity, protect mitochondria, and keep the brain in “connection mode” instead of decline. You'll hear why the pharmaceutical industry resists these solutions, how toxins like Paraquat and mold fuel cognitive decline, and what young people can do right now to bulletproof their brains for life. This episode is essential listening if you care about hacking human performance, upgrading metabolism, or extending longevity. You'll walk away with practical strategies you can use today—whether that means optimizing your mitochondria with nootropics, strengthening resilience with smarter not harder recovery, or fueling your brain with Danger Coffee. You'll Learn: • Why Alzheimer's can begin as early as your 20s and what biomarkers to track • The seven major drivers of Alzheimer's and how to reverse them with biohacking strategies • How APOE4 genetics, toxins, and inflammation accelerate brain aging—and what to do about it • The role of mitochondria, ketosis, and fasting in restoring brain optimization and neuroplasticity • Why prevention is exponentially easier than reversal and the top three actions you should start in your 20s • How to avoid “learned helplessness” in medicine and reclaim control over your brain span and longevity Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.
