Tonight on NJ Spotlight News: Parental rights are top of mind for voters with the election a little more than a week away; A coalition of protestors rally for a free Palestine and a ceasefire as Israel enters the "second stage" of its war in Gaza; NJ Spotlight News is given a rare look at both the crumbling Edna Mahan Correctional Facility and the temporary prison where women have been moved; A massive redevelopment project is announced in Sayreville at the site of a former brownfield as leaders work to finish a 15-year remediation process; Newark renames a portion of Halsey Street after Sakia Gunn, a black, lesbian 15-year-old who was brutally stabbed to death.

If you find yourself walking down Halsey Street lately, you may have noticed that several of the previously empty storefronts are now filled with interesting concepts and brand new retail experiences. Most (if not all) of these new experiences are being spearheaded by Newarkers: from Boss Blend to Halsey Co. to 19B to Brown Mill. As COVID restrictions have begun to subside and people begin to feel safe hanging out in groups, the bustle usually associated with Halsey Street is slowly returning, due in no small part to these startups. One of these new retail spots is part of Brick City Varsity, a Newark-obsessed brand offering immersive pop-up shopping experiences and photography. The pop-up is the brainchild of Larry Lyons and offers cintage clothing (and, on some special nights, karaoke in the back). Larry comes on the podcast this week to discuss his business, his identity, and other musings about life, art, and the world at large. Guest:Larry Lyons—Larry is the principal and founder of Brick City Varsity. He has lectured and taught courses in 20th Century American literature, sociology, and composition at Rutgers and Princeton Universities. He is also an independent consultant, who provides marketing, communications strategy, and creative services for clients in the fields of education, public relations, nonprofits, and the arts. He is also an activist, centering on antiviolence, queer safe space, and black maternal health.

We crave this when once again growing bored with the straight world. I will announce to [my date]: I want to be gay this weekend. This carries an ineffable but precise connotation along the lines of white girl wasted. It means we don't want to, for example, attend a recital of minimalist composition. That's something we might otherwise do. But when we decide to be gay, we want to dance to ‘Startships' by Nicki Minaj, and go downhill from there.” Gay Bar, by Jeremy Atherton Lin

What's Mine and Yours: A sweeping novel of legacy, identity, the American family, and the ways that race affects even our most intimate relationships. A community in the Piedmont of North Carolina rises in outrage as a county initiative draws students from the largely Black east side of town into predominantly white high schools on the west. For two students, Gee and Noelle, the integration sets off a chain of events that will tie their two families together in unexpected ways over the span of the next twenty years. website- http://www.naimacoster.com

In the new novel WHAT'S MINE AND YOURS, author Naima Coster explores the intersection of race, lost dreams, family relationships, and trauma through the lives of its two protagonists, Gee, a black man and Noelle, a woman presenting as white despite her father being Latin American. By looking at the backstory of the mothers of the two protagonists, we learn how tragedy and trauma has led their paths to cross in high school with mothers on opposite sides on the racial integration. Covering two generations of the families over 18 years, WHATS MINE AND YOURS also examines how the trauma their mothers experienced shaped who Gee and Noelle became and the problematic relationship each has with their mothers.Naima Coster is also the author of the novel HALSEY STREET, and her stories and essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Paris Review Daily, Time magazine and elsewhere.

Halsey’s Powerful Speech At NYC Women’s March: “I don't really know how to do a speech unless it rhymes, so I'm going to do a little poem for you guys,” https://youtu.be/NjRnyFBexq0 Ashley Nicolette Frangipane born September 29, 1994), known professionally as Halsey, is an American singer, actress and songwriter. Her stage name is a reference to the Halsey Street station of the New York City Subway in Brooklyn, and an anagram of her first name. Gaining attention from self-released music on social media platforms, Halsey was signed by Astralwerks in 2014. She toured with acts such as The Kooks and Imagine Dragons to promote her debut extended play, Room 93 (2014). Her debut studio album, Badlands (2015), was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Four singles were released from the album, all of which achieved minor commercial success. At seventeen years old, Halsey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, following a suicide attempt that led to a seventeen-day stint in a psychiatric hospital.[15][76] Halsey participated in the mental health and suicide prevention awareness campaign called "I'm Listening", which was hosted by radio network Entercom and broadcast live on September 10, 2017.[6] On January 20, 2018, in New York City, Halsey delivered a speech to more than 200,000 protestors at the Women's March. Instead of a traditional speech, Halsey performed a five-minute poem titled "A Story Like Mine", in which she told personal stories of sexual assault and violence throughout her life. Her personal narrative included accompanying her best friend to Planned Parenthood after she had been raped, her personal account of sexual assault by neighbors and boyfriends, and women sexually assaulted by Olympic doctor Larry Nassar. Halsey stated, "Listen, and then yell at the top of your lungs, be a voice for all those who have prisoner tongues." Halsey read, "What do you mean this happened to me? You can't put your hands on me. You don't know what my body has been through. I'm supposed to be safe now. I've earned it." She completed her speech by requesting all—"Black, Asian, poor, wealthy, trans, cis, Muslim, Christian"—sexual assault victims to listen and support each other. AJ Willingham of CNN.com opined in a headline that "Halsey's Women's March speech moved people around the world.

(Published on Nov 11, 2014) Restaurant owners on Halsey Street in Newark are witnessing change and development in the downtown cultural district. Surrounded by three colleges and universities (Rutgers-Newark, NJIT, and Essex County College), and within walking distance of the Newark Museum, NJPAC, and the newly-restored 6-acre Military Park, the Halsey Street district is attracting students and business professionals. “I’ve never seen development happen as quickly as it’s happening now,” says Newark writer Felicia Walker Benson. “I like to walk the long way to Penn station, just to be energized by the environment.” Cathy Scalera, Assistant Manager of 27 Mix, explains how the area’s restaurants form a supportive community. “We have wonderful neighbors. If one of us runs out of something and we can help each other out, we sure do.”
