Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has been making headlines yet again this week, not only for her artistry but for the ongoing evolution of her remarkable career and personal life. Most notably, the Colombian superstar took center stage at the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony on July 26, electrifying the audience with her performance of Hips Dont Lie remixed with her newest single. French media such as Le Parisien and international outlets like Billboard are calling it a show-stealing moment, solidifying her status as a global pop icon and the first Latina to headline the ceremonies. Social media exploded, with millions sharing clips and reactions, trending her name worldwide within minutes of the broadcast.Amid the dazzling performance, Shakira is simultaneously riding high from her recent business collaborations. In the past few days, she announced an exclusive partnership with a leading Spanish streaming platform, RTVE, for a behind-the-scenes documentary series chronicling her musical journey, a move being interpreted by entertainment analysts as signaling a deeper engagement with her Spanish-speaking fanbase.Businesswise, Shakira's fragrance line, S by Shakira, made news as it launched a new summer scent collection. Vogue España noted retail sellouts within hours and praised the campaign for its representation of diverse women—a recurring theme in Shakira's branding strategy.On the humanitarian front, the superstar gave a rare English-language interview with BBC World News on July 27, where she discussed her ongoing education initiatives in Colombia and plans to expand outreach through her Barefoot Foundation. The interview included brief commentary on the political climate in her home country, which sparked thoughtful conversations across Latin American Twitter communities.From a personal standpoint, rumors briefly swirled regarding a supposed new romance with an Italian entrepreneur. However, Spanish tabloid ¡Hola! clarified that these recent dinner outings were purely professional, connected to business meetings about her upcoming fashion line.Wrapping up the week, Shakira acknowledged her enduring influence with a playful Instagram post celebrating the 20th anniversary of her hit Fijación Oral album, captioned, Sometimes I feel like I have lived nine lives. Global top 10 mentions and millions of likes followed, reinforcing her continued relevance and beloved status. No legal issues or new controversies have emerged in the past few days. This latest stretch underscores Shakira's ability to blend artistry, activism, business savvy, and personal poise, marking another significant chapter in her ongoing legacy.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

When your consulting firm has guided nonprofits through a full century of giving, from the Great Depression to today's AI revolution, you develop some hard earned wisdom about what actually works. My guest, Doug Stewart, is the CEO of Marts & Lundy, the legendary fundraising consultancy celebrating its 100th anniversary next year. And after working with everyone from Ivy League universities to community arts organizations, Doug has a provocative take that challenges how most nonprofits think about fundraising. That mindset shift, from treating fundraising as a side function to making it central to everything you do, is just the beginning of our conversation.We'll dig into why Doug is telling clients to move forward with major campaigns despite unprecedented uncertainty. How the most successful nonprofits are sustaining momentum through eight year campaigns. Why he believes the middle of the donor pyramid holds untapped treasure. And his surprisingly skeptical view of AI taking over donor relationships. Plus, Doug shares the fundraising metric that most organizations completely miss and why it might be the difference between struggling with annual gifts and unlocking transformational support.Ready to discover what a century of fundraising wisdom looks like in practice? Here's my conversation with Doug Stewart.

In the latest episode of 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael engaged in an enlightening conversation with the Community Foundation of Northern Shenandoah Valley (CFNSV). Janet was joined by the CFNSV's executive director, Nancy Baker, and Erik Beatley, the board chair, who shed light on the foundation's crucial role in the community and their efforts to bolster local nonprofits. Eric began by providing an overview of the Community Foundation's mission. Established 20 years ago, the CFNSV functions as a long-term savings account for both nonprofits and donors. With nearly $17 million in invested funds, managed by Mason Investments, even small nonprofits can benefit from significant investment opportunities and reduced fees by pooling their resources with CFNSV. Janet expressed the utility of the Community Foundation's service, highlighting how it simplifies charitable giving while ensuring donors' legacies are preserved and effectively managed. Erik added that the foundation reduces administrative burdens for donors by consolidating tax documentation and offering an easy-to-use online portal. Nancy, with her extensive experience in the nonprofit sector, emphasized her commitment to being a bridge between philanthropists and nonprofits. By identifying and addressing the immediate and long-term needs of local nonprofits, she thrives on making meaningful connections that lead to sustainable growth. She illustrated this with a story about helping nonprofits address transportation needs by matching them with donors interested in specific causes. Janet and Nancy also touched upon the grant application process. Each year, CFNSV offers training for nonprofits to navigate their grant portal, which opens in April. This system allows nonprofits to apply once to be considered for multiple grants, connecting them with donors whose interests align with their mission. This streamlined approach has proven immensely beneficial for smaller nonprofits without extensive development teams. Erik revealed exciting plans for a potential scholarship portal, which would simplify the application process for students by providing a one-stop shop for multiple scholarship opportunities. The new system aims to increase the number of applicants and streamline the selection process for decision-makers, ultimately benefiting the Shenandoah Valley's student community. Highlighting their innovation, Erik shared the success story of the 'Coats for Kids' initiative. Launched 13 years ago in partnership with the Rotary Club of Winchester, this program has grown from distributing 250 coats to over 1,000 annually. The distribution partners ensure the coats reach those in need, exemplifying the Community Foundation's impact on the ground. With an endowment fund goal of $600,000, the initiative aims to become self-sustaining and serve future generations. The episode concluded with Nancy encouraging listeners interested in contributing to funds like 'Coats for Kids' or starting their own philanthropic ventures to visit the CFNSV website: https://cfnsv.org/  Erik and Nancy reiterated their commitment to partnering with donors and nonprofits to ensure lasting community impact. They expressed their willingness to assist anyone interested in legacy giving or community support.

In a time when so many are grappling with division and polarization in their communities, where does one start to build connections to better understand when and why do you feel like you “belong” in your community? In this new podcast conversation, we talk with Anjum Rahman and Atarau Hamilton-Fuller from Inclusive Aotearoa Collective Tāhono, based in Aotearoa New Zealand. In the aftermath of the horrific Christchurch mosque attacks in 2019, their collective's work focused on visiting communities across the country to foster understanding, empathy, and a sense of belonging by encouraging participants to share personal experiences of inclusion and exclusion.Anjum and Atarau share about the unique, culturally grounded approach that they developed as their group hosted and facilitated “belonging conversations” across 46 cities and towns. These conversations, created with three simple yet revealing questions, helped create spaces where participants felt safe to be truly heard, learned the power of deep listening without judgement, and helped understand each other's shared humanity.As part of this discussion, we also demonstrate the conversation, exploring the three core questions to help understand why these discussions have been so powerful for participants.This discussion is essential listening for anyone seeking practical ideas for how to build understanding and foster genuine connection across different groups within the same community.Resources and Footnotes:Inclusive Aotearoa Collective TāhonoResource: What does belonging mean to you?Resource: How to Hold a Conversation on BelongingMore on Collective ImpactInfographic: What is Collective Impact?Resource List: Getting Started in Collective ImpactThe Intro music, entitled “Running,” was composed by Rafael Krux, and can be found here and is licensed under CC: By 4.0. The outro music, entitled “Deliberate Thought,” was composed by Kevin Macleod.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Shakira has been a dominant force in both music and headlines over the past few days thanks to her continued tour success, high-profile collaborations, social media buzz, and hints of even more major projects ahead. According to Los40, excitement in the Latin music world surged after Shakira posted a recording studio photo and teased fans with the message, “Get ready for new music!!” While fans speculate whether she is preparing a standalone single, a deluxe version of her 2024 album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, or a new album entirely to coincide with the upcoming 35th anniversary of her debut Magia next year, no official details have been confirmed. She did recently confirm contributing a new song for an upcoming Zootopia soundtrack, ensuring that more Shakira content is on the horizon.On the business front, Wikipedia notes that in July, Shakira pledged to donate proceeds from her July 5 San Antonio concert to local disaster relief, once again demonstrating her ongoing philanthropic efforts.

The final North American dates are set for early August at LA's SoFi Stadium, where both dates sold out instantly. The Black Eyed Peas have just been announced as special guests for these two LA concerts, marking a reunion of sorts with Shakira, as the two acts previously collaborated on “Girl Like Me” and “Don't You Worry.” This pairing is expected to deliver some of the tour's most memorable moments, and hype is escalating across fan accounts and music news outlets ahead of these shows.As revealed by a recent influencer ranking, Shakira remains a social media powerhouse, holding 11.7 million followers and remaining not just a musical icon but also a conversation leader in 2025. Major entertainment media from Billboard to fan-run Instagram accounts highlight her ongoing stadium tour, extensive international dates, and rising anticipation for the next phase of her career. Critics continue to praise her performances for their energy and versatility, despite mixed feedback on some of the stage visuals, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune.

From the moment Henry Ford put the world on wheels, Ford has stood for not just cars, but mobility. More than just helping people move from one place to another, Ford gives people the opportunity to reach and achieve more. That same ethos drives Ford Philanthropy today. Rebranded from the “Ford Fund” to reflect a deeper, more holistic commitment, Ford Philanthropy is using the company's global reach and core strength of mobility to help people move forward not just in life—but on the road.We invited Mary Culler, President of Ford Philanthropy, to share how her team is redefining what corporate giving looks like. From co-creating community centers to launching the “Building Together” initiative that connects Ford's 3,000+ dealers and employee volunteers with national nonprofits, Ford is uniting its assets to deliver impact at scale. Whether through mobile health clinics or restoring Detroit's historic Michigan Central Station as a beacon of innovation and equity, Ford Philanthropy is tackling one of the greatest barriers to equity: access. For any purpose-driven leader, the message is clear: legacy, when aligned with innovation and humility, can be one of the most powerful tools for change.Listen for insights on:Identifying philanthropic solutions in local communitiesMobilizing corporate assets beyond dollarsEvolve a legacy program into a modern philanthropy platform Resources + Links:Mary Culler's LinkedInFord PhilanthropyNew York Times: Ford Rescues a Detroit Train Station as It Plots Its Own FutureTennessee Community Center (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (00:13) - Mary Culler from Ford Philanthropy (02:16) - Mary's Background (03:46) - Their Focus (05:39) - Rebranding (06:53) - Committed to America ad (08:25) - The Stanton Story (10:25) - Michigan Central Station (12:49) - Building Together Initiative (16:20) - Volunteerism (17:34) - Building Together (18:05) - Transportation Gap (19:47) - Mobile Health (20:21) - Deciding Where the Money Goes (21:01) - Future of Philanthropy (21:48) - Proving You're Having an Impact (22:54) - The Station (23:36) - Last Word (24:36) - Wrap Up
