Shyra is a multi- hyphenate artist. A singer, dancer, producer, fitness entrepreneur, and motivational speaker, whose creative vision spans music, fashion, and personal empowerment. This Los Angeles-based powerhouse first captivated dance music fans with her breakout single “DJ Love Song,” which reached #28 on the Billboard Dance Chart. The track went on to be featured in John Singleton's film Abduction and later in the action film Skin Trade. Shyra's latest single “Operator”, co-written with Ben Franklin, is an electrifying anthem about reclaiming personal power. Featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Not Without Hope directed by Joe Carnahan, the track showcases Shyra's signature high-energy sound and empowering lyrical themes. Her upcoming release, a modern reimagining of The Pointer Sisters' “Fire,” is slated for May and promises to be a bold, high-tempo summer anthem for all! Shyra's influence extends beyond the studio. In 2019, she co-wrote and released “Universal Love” as a Pride Month anthem promoting global unity. The track was remixed by top DJs and embraced as a celebration of inclusivity and love. Behind the scenes, Shyra has collaborated with industry icons such as Grammy-winning songwriter Makeba Riddick (Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jennifer  Lopez) and veteran producer Gary Luxx (Janet Jackson, Usher, Maroon 5). Currently, she is working on her next studio album with a bold new direction, continuing to reinvent pop with soulful authenticity. Committed to lifting others as she rises, Shyra founded STAR Academy in 2016—a performance-based mentorship program for emerging talent in music, fashion, film, and stage arts. She is also the co-founder of ShyFit, a lifestyle and activewear brand designed to inspire confidence, strength, and style for the new generation.

Santa Monica plans to allow open-container drinking on its promenade as part of a new entertainment zone, following the passage of California Senate Bill 969. The idea was initially proposed for a few events but the city council wants to make it more permanent, from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., tied to business hours. People can buy alcohol in a special, non-refillable cup from venues and walk around with it. The council hopes this will attract more tourists and lead to new events like pickleball or line dancing. There are concerns about security and police presence, with the department wanting more officers than the council thinks is necessary. The policy could be in place by May or June, in time for Pride Month. It's seen as an experiment that could be rolled back if it doesn't work out.

It's Friday, May 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Pakistan's record 344 blasphemy cases against Islam A human rights watchdog group chronicled a record 344 new so-called “blasphemy” cases in the 96 percent-Muslim country of Pakistan in 2024, highlighting increased abuse of the country's condemned blasphemy laws, reports Morning Star News. The top three categories include “hurting of religious sentiments,” “desecration of the Quran,” and “disrespecting [their false prophet] Muhammad.” Of the 344 new blasphemy cases, 70 percent of the accused were Muslims, 6 percent were Christians, 9 percent Hindus, and 14 percent Ahmadis, according to the Annual Human Rights Observer report issued by the Center for Social Justice. Between 1994 and 2024, the report stated that at least 104 persons in Pakistan accused of so-called “blasphemy” were executed extra-judicially. Mike Waltz out as National Security Adviser Mike Waltz is out as President Donald Trump's national security adviser and is instead his new nominee for ambassador to the United Nations in a major shake-up of Trump's national security team, reports USA Today. On May 1, Trump said that Waltz was leaving his White House post, confirming a departure that was reported hours earlier amid the continued fallout after Waltz accidentally invited a journalist into a messaging chat in which top national security officials discussed plans for Yemen airstrikes. United States and Ukraine sign rare earth metals agreement On April 30th, the United States and Ukraine finally signed the minerals deal that was delayed by the now-infamous Oval Office exchange between the U.S. and Ukrainian presidents two months ago, reports The Epoch Times. With China continuing to tighten its grip on critical minerals after the imposition of U.S. tariffs, control of so-called “rare earth metals”—essential for the production of electric vehicles, wind turbines, and smartphones—is becoming ever more important. One challenge is that 20 percent of Ukraine's mineral resources, including about half its rare earth elements deposits, are in areas under Russian occupation. The agreement stipulates that future American military assistance to Ukraine will count as part of the U.S. investment into the fund, rather than calling for reimbursement for past assistance. Jewish author David Horowitz, defender of Christians, has died On April 29th, conservative Jewish author David Horowitz died at the age of 86, reports NewsMax.com. His story is one of a self-proclaimed former Marxist who had "second thoughts" on Leftist ideology and became a conservative stalwart and a fierce defender of religion and President Donald Trump. In fact, Trump used the title of Horowitz's book Final Battle: The Next Election Could Be the Last to make it a prevailing theme in hundreds of Trump campaign rallies leading up to his 2024 re-election. In Final Battle, Horowitz had predicted the leftists, so fearful of Trump's return to the White House, would stop at nothing, including indictments against the former president. The effort backfired, as Trump's campaign raised millions off the indictments and would ultimately knock out the Biden family dynasty and defeat replacement candidate Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Horowitz's books often dealt with his conversion to become a Republican during Reagan's administration, the fight from the Left against religion, and the Left's seeking to destroy America. A practicing Jew, Horowitz said one of the most important books he wrote was entitled Dark Agenda: The War to Destroy Christian America—which detailed the Left's war on Christianity, which, he warned, would lead to making the religion illegal and open for persecution. Psalm 27:1 should be the guiding verse of all Christians who are persecuted worldwide. “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Companies bolt from Homosexual Pride Month And finally, two years after transgender Dylan Mulvaney's catastrophic undoing of Bud Light, June's over-the-top sexual perversion celebration—at least as a wholesale business concept—is dead, reports The Washington Stand. For most CEOs, it's been a year of unprecedented realignment. Dozens of major brands are following up on their commitments to drop Diversity Equity Inclusion, and leftist political causes, prompting them to drop sponsorships of June's marquee events. The first warning shots were fired in March, when organizers of the San Francisco Homosexual Pride Parade confessed that they were having trouble hanging on to corporate sponsors. The signature event in America's Homosexual-Transgender Paradise has already lost $300,000! Among those who pulled back were big-time names like Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, and Guinness/Smirnof. Plus, at major Homosexual-Transgender Pride events across New York City, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C., gun-shy businesses are running for the exits. According to the Wall Street Journal, Mastercard, PepsiCo, Nissan, Citibank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Darcars Automotive Group are opting out of major sponsorships altogether. Most businesses are even asking to have their names and logos removed “from official displays and apparel.” More executives have decided it's financial suicide to team up in any meaningful way with June's in-your-face celebration. In fact, 39 percent of corporate leaders plan to decrease their observance of Homosexual-Transgender Pride this year, according to Gravity Research. The result? A massive shortfall in funds for Homosexual Pride-fests on both coasts. Bloomberg noted six in ten “point to President Donald Trump's policies regarding transgenderism and diversity, equity and inclusion as a driver. Almost 40% of all firms raised concerns over criticism from conservatives and customers.” Appearing on Washington Watch, Will Hild, executive director of Consumers' Research, is delighted. HILD: “I couldn't have asked for more. It's been such an incredible whirlwind of pushback and Executive Orders on the entire DEI-grift complex. So, I think it's been fantastic. We've seen what this is doing to the federal government, but I'm hopeful over the next 100 days, we're going to start to see this trickle through to the for-profit sector, the corporate sector.” Hild had a word for Christians and conservatives as well. HILD: “I think conservatives tend to only think of their power being in terms of their wallet. In other words, if they don't like a company, what they're doing, they just won't shop there. “They spend millions upon millions of dollars trying to figure out why people shop at Target or Walmart or go to a different place. It's a lot easier when you send an email or call somebody and say, ‘I don't appreciate this thing.' We saw this with Target. We saw this with Budweiser. It went viral on social media. “Say something both to the company and say something on social media because they track that kind of thing. So, I would say, use both your wallet and use your voice.” Sign up to receive a weekly text message from Consumers' Research that will alert you to a different woke company which you can email or call. Ephesians 5:11 says, “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, May 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe for free by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Even though the Trump administration has eliminated recognizing cultural heritage months, we are still celebrating diversity and inclusion. Here at Apex Express and KPFA, we believe in lifting up people's voices. And tonight on Apex Express, we are focusing on Asian American filmmakers exploring boundaries. Host Mika Lee talks with filmmakers, creators, writers Sarah Kambe Holland, Alleluiah Panis, and Kyle Casey Chu, also known as Panda Dulce. Join us on Apex Express.    Miko Lee: [00:01:51] Welcome, Sarah Kambe Holland, the amazing young filmmaker, writer, director, here to talk about your very first film, egghead and Twinkie. Welcome to Apex Express.    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:02:04] Thanks so much for having me.   Miko Lee: [00:02:06] So first I'm gonna start with a personal question, which is an adaptation from the amazing poet Chinaka Hodges. And my first question is, who are your people and what legacy do you carry with you?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:02:19] Oh wow. What a great question. , I think that I represent my family and my heritage. I'm mixed, so I'm half Japanese and half British. I grew up partially in Japan and partially in the States. I feel like those experiences, my family, they make up who I am and the stories that I wanna tell.   Miko Lee: [00:02:41] And what legacy do you carry with you?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:02:45] I think the legacy of my family, my grandparents on both sides have overcome so much, and, , they're a big inspiration to me. Funny enough, my grandparents play kind of a secret role in this film. My grandparents on my mom's side were incarcerated in the Japanese American camps. My grandmom, my British side overcame a lot of adversity as well in her life. , I think that's the legacy that I carry.    Miko Lee: [00:03:09] Thank you. Tell me a little more, what secret role do your grandparents play in the film?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:03:14] all my grandparents have always been very supportive of, my art and my filmmaking. But my grandparents on my mom's side, they passed away ahead of the making of this film. And I inherited my grandfather's car. And that car is the car in the movie that, Egghead Twinkie drive cross country. So I like to think that this is their way of supporting me. I think that they would get a kick out of the fact that their car is like a main character in the film,    Miko Lee: [00:03:41] literally carrying you on your journey. I had so much fun watching the film. Can you share with our audience a little bit about what the film is about and what inspired you to create this?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:03:52] So the film is called Egghead and Twinkie, and it's about this mixed Asian teenage lesbian named Twinkie who's coming out and her best friend Egghead, who unfortunately is in love with her and she does not feel the same. , and they end up going on this cross country road trip to meet Twinkie Online love interest IRL for the very first time. So it's kind of like a buddy comedy road trip movie. Coming of age queer story, , and it's one that's very personal to me, I think is a mixed Asian queer person. This was a story I was drawn to tell because it was a story that I didn't really see on screen when I was growing up.   Miko Lee: [00:04:30] Can you talk to me a little bit more about the use of the name Twinkie, which for many folks in the A API community is seen as a slur, and I know she talks about it a little in the film, but can you share more how you came up with that?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:04:44] Yes, it's a very nuanced thing and it's something I was kind of nervous to tackle, especially like in a comedy film. , but really with the creation of Twinkie's character, , I feel like she's going on this journey to embrace herself as a lesbian, as a gay woman, but then also I think that she's searching for herself as a mixed Asian person. I feel like within the Asian American community, if you're raised here in the US or if you're mixed or if you're adopted, I think that there can be this feeling of not feeling Asian enough. I think the word Twinkie was something that was kind of weaponized against her. Like, oh, you know, you're not Asian enough, you're a Twinkie. And her way of coping with that is to kind of reclaim that word and kind of own that. As her own name.    Miko Lee: [00:05:31] Thank you so much for sharing. I read online that this is the very first feature film to be crowdfunded on TikTok. Can you talk a little bit about, I know your background is in as a social media creator. Can you talk about that journey from social media creator to filmmaker?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:05:51] Yes. Yeah. TikTok and social media was such a big part of getting this film made. Uh, so for myself, yeah. I was a YouTuber before I was a filmmaker. I should be clear, I wasn't like PewDiePie or anything like that. I had like 40,000 followers. Um, but for me at that time when I was like 15, 16, that felt like the whole world. Um, and I think that YouTube was really my first introduction to. Storytelling, but also to making friends with people through the internet. And that ended up being a really big influence on this film because Twinkie is traveling cross country to meet a girl that she meets online. And I think that that is such a common story nowadays. Like people make friends online all the time. Um, and the ways that we find love and community has changed.Because of the internet. Um, so it felt very appropriate that we turned to TikTok turned to social media as a means to raise money for this film. Uh, we did a whole targeted crowdfunding campaign on TikTok and we raised over $20,000 from a lot of strangers that I will never meet, but I owe a lot of thanks to.   Miko Lee: [00:06:53] So now that the film has been going out to different festivals and being screened at different places, have any of those that participated in the crowdfund, have you met any of those kind of anonymous supporters?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:07:05] Yes. And that was crazy. it was awesome. We screened it over 40 festivals all around the world. Our international premiere was at the British Film Institute in London. And it was at that screening that someone raised their hand during the q and a and they were like, I just wanted you to know that I backed your movie, uh, and I found you on TikTok. And that just blew my mind that someone on the other side of the world, you know, had donated whatever, you know, 10, 20 bucks to making this thing a reality.   Miko Lee: [00:07:31] Oh, I love that when the anonymous becomes real like a person in front of you that you can actually meet. How fun. I'm wondering if your use of animation is, , been influenced by your social media background.    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:07:45] Not really. Actually. I think the animation part of this film is just because I'm a total nerd. I really love animation, I love comics. And so that kind of bled into Twinkies character. You know, she loves comics, she wants to be an animator. And, uh, I think I've always been interested in the idea of combining 2D animation with live action footage. I feel like that's something that we see a lot in like children's movies or, um.Music videos, but it's not something that you really see in like, feature films all that often. So I was kind of excited to explore that, and it was a really fun collaboration with myself and our lead animator, Dylan Ello, who did most of the animations in the movie.   Miko Lee: [00:08:28] Oh, thank you for that. I, I, it was very delightful. Um, I'm wondering, because we're, our world right now is incredibly complicated and so conflicted. How do you feel filmmaking can make a difference?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:08:44] I feel like art is more important now than ever because I see even in just this film's journey how art literature and movies, it can change people's minds and they don't even realize that their minds are changing.I think especially with this film, 'cause it's so lighthearted and funny and silly, you'd be like, oh, it's just, you know, a good laugh and that's it. But, but not really. I've seen this film. Open doors and open conversations. And I think that that's really my hope is that maybe, you know, parents who have a queer kid and they're not sure what to do about it, maybe they'll watch this film and they'll be able to talk to their kid about things that maybe they're afraid to talk about. I think that art really has the power to, to change people's minds.    Miko Lee: [00:09:29] Have you experienced that with somebody that has actually seen your film, that you've had a conversation with them where they walked away, changed from seeing it?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:09:38] Well, on a very personal level, um, my parents, uh, are conservative and I think when I first came out to them, it was an adjustment for sure. Um, I. When I initially kind of pitched the idea of Egghead and Twinkie to them years, years ago, uh, as a short film, they were confused. They were like, why do you wanna make this film about being gay? Like, why do you have to make everything about being gay? And that's not really what it was. I just wanted to tell this story.  And it's been such an amazing journey to see my parents like fully embrace this movie. Like they are egghead and Twinkie biggest fans. They might love this movie more than me. Uh, so that has been really amazing to be able to kind of talk to them about queer issues in my identity through the making of this movie.   Miko Lee: [00:10:24] I love that. So let our audience know how they can see your film, egghead and Twinkie.    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:10:31] So Egg and Twinkie is coming out on streaming platforms on April 29th. It'll be on Apple tv, Amazon Prime, uh, any video on demand streaming platform in North America.    Miko Lee: [00:10:43] Yay. And Sarah, what are you working on next?    Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:10:46] Oh boy, have a big question. Uh, I have a few screenplays in the works, one of which is a time traveling lesbian rom-com. So, uh, I'm waiting for when I get the big bucks so I can make my first period piece.    Miko Lee: [00:10:59] Love it. Sounds fun. , thank you so much for sharing with us. It was such a delight to see your film and I look forward to seeing more of your work.   Sarah Kambe Holland: [00:11:08] Thanks so much for having me, Miko. This was great.    Jalena Keane-Lee: [00:11:11] Listen to Kushimoto Bushi by Minyo crusaders, a Japanese cumbia band    MUSIC   Welcome back. This is the Powerleegirls on apex express, and that was Kushimoto Bushi by Minyo Crusaders    Miko Lee: [00:15:24] Welcome, Alleluia Panis, the Executive Director of Kularts to Apex Express.    Alleluia Panis: [00:15:30] Thank you. I'm so honored to be here.    Miko Lee: [00:15:34] I wanna talk with you about your film, but first I wanna start with a personal question, which is an adaptation from the amazing poet Chinaka Hodges. And that is, who are your people and what legacy do you carry with you?   Alleluia Panis: [00:15:49] Wow, that's deep who are my people? My people is my community. And so it is here in, in the diaspora, Filipino Americans, Asian Americans, and folks of color. And then of course the indigenous people in the Philippines. . What I carry with me and continues to inspire me on the daily is the knowing that we have been here for a long time. Our ancestors have survived eons of whether it's, good times and bad times. And so that keeps me going.   Miko Lee: [00:16:28] Thank you so much for sharing. you have been working in the field for a long time. You're really, , a trailblazer in terms of putting Filipino arts on the map and really lifting up the culture. Can you talk about your new film Memories of Mindanao, where that came from, what it's all about?   Alleluia Panis: [00:16:49] Is a leg of, , Tribo tour, which began in 2002. But actually inspired by my first trip to, , then the wild and being with in 1989 , and, , basically traveling and. Setting myself and my, my, my music and dance company at the time to just be with indigenous people. ,and how profoundly that particular experience really impacted me. For years I've been wanting to like, how can I bring this? Experience or share the experience with other diasporic folks. Fortunately I was able to connect with Carlo Abeo in the Philippines, who's been my tour manager, in 2001. And then in 2002 we embarked on the first, Tribo tour.   Miko Lee: [00:17:50] So this was an effort to really share this powerful kind of artistic travel journey with more folks. Is that right?    Alleluia Panis: [00:17:57] Yes. And it's actually beyond artistic. It's really about recognizing something deeper, right? Because our history of colonization is pretty intense. 500 years and or is it 400 years? Give or take, a century. And so there are a lot of things that had been co-opted. It has been erased, it has been gaslit. And fortunately, I feel like within the culture of the archipelago, there are, and even those. That are, of the, what is considered the colonized people or the Christianized people. there are practices that exist today that might have a different name, um, or but actually is indigenous and so, and only. Could I say that because I was able to really experience and be with folks and, uh, and it's years, you know, it's years of kind of like assessing and looking at you know, different, uh, practices. And so that is so I don't know. It's beyond gratifying. It's connecting. I mean, it seems so cliche. It's connecting with something so deep, you know, it's like connecting to, you know, to Mother Earth in, in that way our, our Mama Ocean. And recognizing yourself that, that you are bigger and have, and has agency, you know, in terms of just. What you are connected to, uh, what we are connected to. Um, and so it's, it's it, of course within the cultural practices, which is artistic practices that we see that connection.    Miko Lee: [00:19:40] You were looking at, the impact of colonization and how arts and culture has really spoke to that or fought back against that in the Philippines. Can you talk about bringing that over to our colonized United States and how you see that playing out?    Alleluia Panis: [00:19:58] Well, I think first of all as, um, as folks of color. And as former subjects of the United States, you know, 40 years of the US and still, still, um, you know, in some ways kind of soft power over the people of the Archipelago. It's, it's really, um, first and foremost knowing or getting that sense of connection and confidence and, um, self-identity. That leads, that would lead us to create, um, in the diaspora. And so what, what this pro with this project, this particular program does and, and I continue to prove it with so many folks, is that it's really. Kind of finding yourself, I mean, that, that seems so cliche and knowing your place in the world and how you are connected so deeply despite all the, you know, like all the brainwashing that you don't know anything. Everything is, uh, you know, everything that, that, that, um, that exists in terms of the cultural practices of the arch of the people of the archipelago are borrowed or, or, um. Basically borrowed or taken from another culture, um, really kind of diminishes that, that colonized thinking. And so I think the power of it is finding your stepping into your own power in this way. Um, and, and, um, you know, it is also not just the current, like in, in once lifetime do you get that abuse or trauma, but it's also all the. You know, the, the, the inheritance from our, you know, from our parents, from our grandparents, right? Great. Passed down the generation and, um, oftentimes construed as the real deal, unt true. And so, aside from the form. Aside from, um, the practices, because this trip is really a little, is is focused more on not learning or like, you know, we don't go to learn like dance music or. Weaving or, you know, design or anything like that. Yes, that happens. We do, we do have workshops, but you know, it's not like it's, it's more like opening the ice of each, you know, individual. I. To the, to the, the whole, the whole thing. What, what is the, the presence of nature is, are they water people? Well, how does the water impact the cultural practices and therefore the artistic practices, um, and understanding sort of like, oh, they, they do that kind of steps with the, you know, flat feet or whatever. Because the sound of the bamboo slats is just. Amazing, you know, uh, under their feet. And so it's not so much that I'm gonna learn, you know, x, y, Z dance or x, y, z music, music or gongs, or, but it's more like w. Through those practices, how do we see the people, how do they mirror our own existence? And what, what we can remember really is remembering, um, what my, what, what we have forgotten or what we know it's true, but we're not sure. So I dunno if I'm answering your question. It's a roundabout response.    Miko Lee:[00:23:26]  I feel like you're talking about how we step into our ancestral wisdom and power.    Alleluia Panis: [00:23:33] Correct.    Miko Lee: [00:23:33] And I'm wondering if you can expand on that,, to talk a little bit more about this time of oligarchy we are living in, which is really built in colonization. How do we both as artists use our superpowers to fight back against that and then encourage other people? How do we use our artist beings to encourage other people to fight back against the world that we're living in right now?  Alleluia Panis: [00:24:00] One of the most powerful impact on me , in experiencing, indigenous practices and culture is the practice of spirituality, the rituals, the ceremonies. There's one specific ceremony from Ana as a magana on ceremony, um, that really, It was just such a profound experience in opening up, my senses and my sense of connection to something larger than this. And, and the EPO and, um, there's several, um. Ritual practices with different names. It's basically similar, uh, practice, uh, is the connection to the five elements and the basic, um, um, and fundamental elements of life. You know, water, earth, wind, fire, and the darkness. The, there's a transcendence. Um. And that that discovery is a, or that connection, um, is something that's, it sounds really woo woo, right? I mean, um, but it really becomes kind of a, a, an experience, an embodiment experience, a belief in your own kind of intuition, your gut feeling. My, uh, my. Um, response, you know, to it, a physical response. And, um, that, that's become like a, a guide for, for everything that I do. And so, um, to me that that is the grounding that, um, has allowed me to continue the work that that. That I've been doing, continue living, period. And so it's really, I think the, a matter of really kind of like, knowing yourself, it just sounds all so cliche, you know? And, and, the power of, Really understanding that you have or I have a depth of connection, that I can draw from in terms of energy and spirit and love, that is beyond kind of the physical, but also the physical. And so for me, that sense of knowing. Is what is allowing me to continue doing what I do despite all the, you know, challenges and difficulties and, you know, the insanity of these times or any time. and having kind of that grounding, I mean, you, you, the, the, clarity, is everything. it allows me to. follow what seems to be the correct route to wherever I was going. it doesn't mean that it's, it's, I'm, I'm not working on it, you know, but I'm also not, not pushing in a way that, you know, I'm, I'm gonna make you believe in me and I'll, you know, like, sort of like, I will tell you what is the right thing and, and, and I will make you, um, agree with me. It, it's, it's not that. Um, I is, I dunno. Is that making any sense? Do you have any other,    Miko Lee: [00:27:24] you totally make sense to me. I'm wondering how people can find out how, how can people find out more about your film and about all of your work?    Alleluia Panis: [00:27:34] Oh, sure. people can find out about, my work and the film through, um, the website. It's, uh, KulArts SF dot org and, most of, if not all of my work, uh, and the work of others, are actually on there. There's a lot of information there. the, the film is gonna be shown at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific, film Festival May 3rd at, uh, a MC. Eight or 14 or is it in, Monterey Park and, folks can actually just find that information on our website as well.    Miko Lee: [00:28:13] And what would you like audience to walk away from your film with an understanding of?   Alleluia Panis: [00:28:21] I want the audience to feel the. Power of being there in TT T is the southernness most islands of, of the Philippines. And, not too many people actually go there. If you have seen the Sam Baja, um, you know, divers, uh, where they can dive for, I think they can stay from five to 15 minutes underwater without any, you know, oxygen or assistance. These are, these are the people who, who, uh, these islands belong to. and as usual, their, you know, their live livelihood is being challenged by everything that's happening in the world. And what the, the film itself, itself, is really trying to put, put the audience within the, you know, like the, I guess the, the shoe of the there and how, you know, their experiences. there's not a lot of explanation to it because we really want it to be a more visceral experience. for the audience,    Miko Lee: [00:29:22] is there anything else you'd like to share with us?    Alleluia Panis: [00:29:26] Let's keep on going. Let's, you know, we, we all, we all need to be in community to uplift each other and keep hope alive.    Miko Lee: [00:29:38] Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing a little bit more about your film and about your work and your connection to the ancestors and the need to move forward.   Alleluia Panis: [00:29:47] Appreciate you. Thank you, Miko.   Miko Lee: [00:29:51] Welcome Kyle Casey, Chu, also known as Panda Dulce to Apex Express.    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:29:57] Hi so much for having me.    Miko Lee: [00:29:59] We're so happy to have you back here, onto Apex Express Land and you have a bunch of new things happening, not just a new film, but also a new book. First off, I'm gonna just start with a personal question, which I ask everyone. Who are your people and what legacy do you carry with you?    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:30:16] Ooh, that's a juicy one. Um, my people, I would say my people are the weirdos and the art freaks of the world. Uh, queer and trans people, Asian Americans, queer and trans Asian Americans, people of color, people from the Bay Area. Um, people who have noticed the boxes that they're in and are pushing the walls and the boundaries of that. I feel like these are the people who really inspire me the most. In terms of the legacy I bring, I am a fourth generation Chinese American, uh, queer and trans femme person living in the San Francisco Bay area where I was born and raised.   Miko Lee: [00:30:56] Thanks so much for sharing. , first let's start with just finding out more about your film, which was based on a true story called After What Happened at the Library. This was a national story, I remember hearing about it, but for folks that don't know, can you describe the real incident that inspired the film?    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:31:14] So, I'm one of the founders of Drag Story Hour, which is exactly what it sounds like., drag queens reading stories to, , children and their families and libraries, bookstores and schools. In 2022, I took a gig in Pride Month at San Lorenzo Public Library, , where I was doing a drag story hour and the Proud Boys stormed in. They called me a tranny, a groomer and an it. They wore shirts saying, kill your local pedophile and I had to retreat to the back and lock myself in the back room. They scoured the premises looking for me. , the authorities showed up and didn't get any of their names or information, um, and just. Dispersed them. And after the incident, I came back to the reading room where the children and families were there, but shaken and I completed the reading.    Miko Lee: [00:32:05] Incredibly traumatic. What happened after that in real life?    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:32:10] It's funny that you, uh, because the short film is called After What Happened at the Library, uh, for a reason because I feel like it's natural as social creatures for humans to focus on the incident itself. We want to approach people with empathy and we want to, really put ourselves in their shoes, uh, to kind of be there as a support for them. What I wasn't prepared for was the gauntlet of media attention, how people would be coming out of the woodwork to ask me about the situation. They would send gushing praise, hate mail, death threats, love letters, care packages, and this wave of attention. Almost added to the overwhelm of the experience and the fact that I had suddenly become a figure and a lightning rod in a culture war when I just wanted to read a book in a library. 'cause that's what I was doing. Um, and not only this, but in the coverage of the event. Because the authorities were so slow to act on this and only started investigating it as a hate crime after it blew up on Instagram and they suddenly felt the heat of media attention. Um, I felt the, my only recourse was to go to the media and was to talk, and especially as a writer and a storyteller, I felt I needed to kind of sound the alarm because it was pride month.  This was the first, this was the inciting incident of a national, even international anti-D drag wave of right wing extremism. Um, it was a couple days later that the oath keepers were found planning some kind of resistance, like violent insurrection in before Ohio Pride. And so I would talk to these journalists and. I felt in the beginning I trusted them because, you know, I trusted that they wanted to get the word out, that they had the same intentions that I did in protecting my people. And what I found instead was that they kind of almost, they tried to elicit the most emotional response from me, which often involved asking me to relive the most excruciating aspects of that time and that experience. So I had to go back and revisit it over and over again. And when the stories actually came out, I'd found that my story was edited to suit another preconceived formula that they had already pitched a certain idea for how the story was would go. That painted me as this static monolithic victim. And they would just plug in one tearful soundbite and the rest of the story, they could just say whatever they wanted with.And there's a certain violence in that. There's a certain. Greater injustice to going through something like that, number one. But number two, telling your story and having that be distorted to suit other political aims or to, you know, buttress a call for public safety. And that specific dynamic of the direct aftermath of notoriety is what the short film gets at.   Miko Lee: [00:35:11] Oh so you're taking back your own story.    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:35:14] Absolutely. So after what happened at the library, the short film is a very much a radical reclamation of my own voice and my own story. Um, prying it back from the hands of the media and telling it on my own terms.    Miko Lee: [00:35:26] Thank you for that. And how has it been received   Kyle Casey Chu: [00:35:29] So far it's been received very well. The short film World premiered at Florida Film Festival in Orlando. Received a special jury prize for courageous voice in a time of great need, which is incredible. It's our first screening and we already got an award, which is so exciting. It just screened at SF Film on April 23rd as part of the shorts block. SF film is an Academy Award qualifying festival, and it is going to screen again at Can Fest, one of my favorite local festivals, the world's largest Asian and Asian American film showcase it's screening on Friday, May 9th at Kabuki and tickets are on sale.   Miko Lee: [00:36:11] Thank you for that. And can you tell us about your new book? This is very exciting. You have a coming of age story, the Queen Bees of Tybee County. Can you tell us about your book?   Kyle Casey Chu: [00:36:22] Absolutely. When it rains, it pours in creative worlds. I had a lot of irons on the fire and it just so happened that all of them were exhibiting or debuting or hitting shelves in the same week of April, which is last week. The Queen Bees of Tybee County is my debut novel. It's middle grade, so for ages eight through 12, though like a Pixar movie, it's for all ages really. Um, and it is a hopeful drag coming out story about a queer Chinese American seventh grade basketball star. Derek Chan, who is unceremoniously shipped off to his grandma Claudia's in rural Georgia, and she is volunteering for a local pageant. And so he. Explores his queer identity and his love for drag via Southern pageant culture.    Miko Lee: [00:37:09] Ooh, do we see a film of this in the future?    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:37:12] Actually, Queen Bees of Tybee County was optioned by Lambert Productions, which put on the Hardy Boys on Hulu. So it is on its way to becoming a TV show if every, if all the stars align, it'll be on TVs in the uk. Fingers and toes crossed for that.    Miko Lee: [00:37:27] Amazing. I'm looking forward to that. Can we pull ourselves out a little bit and talk about the times that we're living in right now and how artists use our super powers to fight back against the oligarchy that we're living in?    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:37:43] We all know, or perhaps should know that the beginnings of fascism involve suppressing intellectuals and artistic voices, increasing police presence and trying to maintain a stiff and consistent lid on the voices of the people. And so this type of suppression is happening right now. There are book bans across the country. , there are state and federal efforts legislatively to curtail the rights of trans kids and trans athletes, and Intellectuals, diplomats and scholars are all being expelled or suppressed, and I think something that I've learned is that, and it sounds really cheesy, but that quote is so real where it's like being brave isn't the absence of fear, but it's doing things in spite of it. I know it feels very scary to speak out right now, but now is the exact time to speak out because any. Ground that is seated cannot be taken back. And so holding of the line by way of protest, by way of publication, by way of dissenting is how we crack this. The armor of fascism.    Miko Lee: [00:38:55] And can you talk a little bit about the moment of joy or celebrating joy within the context of the strife that we're living in? I bring that up because , you've given me much joy as part of the rice rocketts and a lot of the work that you do. So I wonder if you could just talk about what does joy mean in the moment like this?    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:39:16] Yeah. I think. I have a background in social work and one of the first things that we learned is this is hard work. It is hard to always start on your back foot and to have to argue your own humanity and justify your existence as an artist or as a person. I found myself doing that when coverage of the library incident was happening and. One of the things that they tell you is the way that you do your best work and the way that you best serve your communities is by keeping your own self afloat. And what this means is maintaining a balance. When you have hard work, you also need to reward yourself. You also need to take care of yourself. And I don't think it's enough to just say self-care. You need to expose yourself, and you need to fully embrace the full spectrum of human emotion, which necessarily includes joy. And so. After completing such an intense project, like after what happened at the library, I knew that I needed to engage in something that was hopeful and that really struck the cord of why community is so vital and important, and why social support is integral to all of us thriving. And so the Queen Bees of Tubby County, I was told by a reviewer, and this is my favorite review, they said that it's like Chapel R'S Pink Pony Club. If it were a book. Um, and I'm going with that 'cause I love that. But this story is really just about hope. It's about friendship, it's about, it's about dancing towards the future we want. And I don't think it is enough for us to react. I don't think it's enough for us to strike down. Terrible and horrifying regimes. We also must have a vision for the future that includes ourselves thriving and enjoying ourselves. And I think a part of that practice for me is making art and scaffolding a vision for the future that is positive.    Miko Lee: [00:41:20] And what would you like people to walk away from after either reading your book or seeing your short film?   Kyle Casey Chu: [00:41:29] I think after seeing the short film. What this gets at is whenever there's a flashpoint of a culture war and it's localized on one person, whenever a culture war is personified in one singular person, like for example, ma Moon kil. There's only so much of his life that we get to see, and it's through the headlines and this viral moment of like a flash on the pan. And I want people to realize that the way that you interact with these people in that fleeting moment is going to stick with them long after this moment of notoriety passes. And. To be conscientious and aware of what impact you're bringing to that person because it may just be a moment or a blip in your feed, but the impact is enduring for the person who's living it. And I also want us to be critical of how we consume trauma and violence in the media, and to ask ourselves if. We really, truly need to get all the details if we really, truly need to be put, put that victim in the position of reliving their experience just so we can relive it for a moment. Whereas they will have to relive it for the rest of their lives. And I think survivor narratives and victim narratives are way more messy and complicated and sometimes funny than people give it credit for or realize. And to realize that when you are reading something. That is just one dimension in one shade. Uh, yeah. So that was a lot, sorry. But, um, the other thing is for the Queen Bees of Tybee County. And the reason why I wanted to end on that is because it's uplifting is as dark as the world can be. It can also be as dazzling and bright and hopeful, and that the future that we are fighting for is worth fighting for. And we need to remind ourselves of that. Especially in times like these, and I know it might seem counterintuitive for us to celebrate or to be around each other when it feels earth shatteringly bleak, but it is essential to our survival, and don't be afraid to embrace that.   Miko Lee: [00:44:00] Kyle, thank you so much. Kyle, Casey Chu, thank you so much for joining us on Apex Express. I encourage people to check the film out and the book out and we appreciate chatting with you.    Kyle Casey Chu: [00:44:11] Thanks so much.    Ayame Keane-Lee: [00:44:14] Kyle's film will be showcased at Cam Fest, the nation's largest showcase for new Asian American and Asian films, which runs from May 8th to 11th in San Francisco at a time when it feels particularly fraught to express stories from communities of color. Cam is doing what we've done for over 40 years, sharing films from Asian America to a wide array of audiences. It says, Cam's, director of programs, Dawn Young. Watching these stories in a theater full of friends and neighbors is an opportunity to laugh and cry, and ultimately to celebrate human experiences that transcend bounds. This year's festival will return to the A MC Kabuki in San Francisco's Japan town for opening night, and a total of four days of screenings in the historic neighborhood that is undergoing its own resurgence with new restaurants, cafes, and boutiques, highlighting both traditional and youth oriented culture.

Following the opening night film on Thursday May 8th and SF M Om a opening the Phyllis Wa Theater for Mother's Day programming on Sunday, May 10th. Turning a lens on history, whether it's the end of the Vietnam War or the trailblazing women in the Bay Area, offers a chance to reconsider the stories through which we come to understand ourselves. Says Cam Fest program Manager Del Holton, ranging from intimate narratives of family and memory to experimental work that bends the conventions of storytelling. These films illuminate the many perspectives of Asian America.    CAAM Fest 2025 wraps up on Mother's Day with dedicated events that highlight strength and visionary artistry of Asian American women. You can also catch my sister Jalena Keane-Lee's film Standing Above the Clouds at 5:00 PM at the Kabuki.

31. Why Did Google Erase International Women's Day? And Why DEI Matters More Than Ever.Something happened this International Women's Day that I can't stop thinking about—and I bet you missed it too.Google quietly erased International Women's Day from its calendar app. Not just that, but they also removed other major cultural observances like Women's History Month, Black History Month, Pride Month, and Holocaust Remembrance Day.Coincidence? I don't think so. It's not just about a missing calendar event. This is happening at a time when Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are under attack, despite overwhelming research proving that diverse companies outperform their competitors.If you care about gender equality, representation, and creating a future where all voices are valued, this conversation is for you.Here Are 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode:1️⃣ DEI is NOT just ‘good PR'—it's a business advantage. Companies with diverse leadership teams are 39% more likely to outperform their peers financially. Ignoring DEI isn't just wrong—it's bad business.2️⃣ Representation matters more than ever. Silencing historical and cultural observances is a deliberate act, one that signals to marginalized communities that their contributions don't matter.3️⃣ Women's careers (and leadership opportunities) depend on work structures that support them.Job sharing isn't just about flexibility—it's a career accelerator that allows women to balance work and life while moving into leadership roles.Resources Mentioned In This Episode:Research: McKinsey & Company's "Diversity Matters Even More" Report (2023)Article: Google & Apple's Calendar Controversy (NY Post & Politifact)More From Me:Want to explore job sharing? workmuse.com/guideJoin Job Share, Live Life + Slay Work community for like-minded folks who value flexibility AND their careersFollow me on LinkedInEpisode Website: workmuse.com/31Transcript here.Send Melissa a Text Message.RATE, REVIEW & FOLLOW ON APPLE PODCASTS Thank you for supporting my bootstrapped social good business and mission! “I love Melissa and Jobshare Revolution.”

CannCon and Patrick Gunnels break down the absolute firehose of news as the deep state scrambles to keep up with Trump's relentless purge. Google just erased Pride Month, Black History Month, and other diversity initiatives from its calendar, sending leftists into full meltdown mode, except it turns out Biden's administration made the decision months ago. Meanwhile, panic is setting in for Democrats as a new poll shows Trump's support among black men skyrocketing to 42%, shattering their electoral math. Over at the DOJ, activist judges are trying to block Trump's latest executive orders, but Trump isn't backing down. Impeachment articles are being drafted against corrupt judges, and the battle over the federal bureaucracy is heating up. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi just announced legal action against New York for prioritizing illegal migrants over American citizens, and the left is losing their minds. On the world stage, Trump is flipping the script on Ukraine. Instead of giving them endless taxpayer dollars for nothing, he's demanding $500 billion in rare earth minerals in return. Zelensky may not have a choice. With the deep state's money flow drying up and global elites in full panic mode, the boomerang is hitting hard. Thank you for listening to the Badlands Media Podcast.

We also go over World Relief and other NGOs taking advantage of government funding to promote illegal immigration in the United States.

They are watching and listening as factions in the United States try to Weaponize the way we love. They attempt to shame and blame the LGBTQ+ community, all while framing their divisive tactics as saving the soul of America. The hurt and damage to the mental health of the most vulnerable among us is incalculable. We aren't attempting to groom or convert; rather, we are trying to live our lives as proud Americans. In this episode, you will hear from the very people who are living through these scary times. This powerful episode shines light on the feelings evoked by almost daily attacks on LGBTQ+ HUMANS!!

Ever had a mentor who became more than just a coach, someone who changed your perspective and your path? This is Part 2 of “Love and Logic,” our special three-part Pride Month podcast series celebrating authenticity and transformation. Waverly Deutsch, a proud LGBTQ advocate and champion of women entrepreneurs, shares her incredible journey—from theater enthusiast to PhD, STEM major to MBA professor, and now, a venture-building coach and founder of WyseHeart Advisory. Known for her candid yet constructive feedback, Waverly's tough love inspires transformative growth for entrepreneurs worldwide. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Blending Heart and Head “Whether it's calming executives' cautious approaches or reining in overly ambitious young entrepreneurs, success lies in balancing heart (vision) with head (practicality). It's about building a compelling story that resonates with both emotions and logic.” Executives: Breaking the Incremental Mold “Executives often pitch ideas that feel safe but lack innovation. They're so aware of corporate barriers that their creativity gets stifled. My role? Push them to think beyond incremental improvements and aim for groundbreaking changes that truly stand out.” “Executives often present highly calculated plans—‘$5 million investment for $7 million returns.' While safe, it doesn't excite investors. Encouraging them to aim higher, to envision $50 million, injects the passion and ambition their pitches often lack.” Unleashing Undergraduate Imagination “Undergraduates are brimming with ideas because they haven't yet encountered the roadblocks of the corporate world. The challenge is teaching them the process—how to take their boundless creativity and add logic, research, and structure to turn dreams into sustainable ventures.” Overzealous Optimism Meets Reality “On the flip side, young entrepreneurs brim with optimism, promising billion-dollar outcomes for modest investments. The challenge? Bringing logic into their bold dreams—helping them see the steps, resources, and realistic pathways to scale.” The Power of Experimentation “Sometimes, all it takes is encouraging an entrepreneur to think bigger—just as an exercise. That simple shift in perspective can unlock enormous potential, as it did with Simple Mills, now a model for blending passion and pragmatism to scale innovation.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Waverly Deutsch ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

A small town in Canada — a very small town — refused to fly the Rainbow Flag during ‘Pride Month' for two excellent reasons: One, they didn't fly anyone else's flag all year, and two, they didn't have a flagpole. But that was more than a gay activist group could bear. So they complained to the ominously-named Canadian Human Rights TRIBUNAL who fined the town $10,000 and the Mayor of the town — personally — $5000. Plus re-education camp, obviously.

In this episode of “Normal World,” Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela tackle President Joe Biden's controversial $1 billion aid package for African nations. While domestic areas like Appalachia and North Carolina reel from hurricane devastation and lack of federal relief, the crew questions misplaced priorities and potential corruption in foreign aid allocation. The discussion heats up with a Canadian mayor's refusal to fly a Pride flag during Pride Month, igniting debates on government mandates, cultural values, and free speech. In “Trans News,” they humorously congratulate biological male Alex Consani for winning Woman of the Year at the U.K. Fashion Awards, poking fun at awards culture and gender identity politics. The team also critiques efforts to rewrite Alcoholics Anonymous literature to include gender-neutral pronouns, questioning identity politics' place in recovery programs. They then turn to Cesar Hernandez, a convicted murderer who escaped custody in California, imagining the challenges of tracking him in a sanctuary city. Closing with humor, they riff on rumors of Elton John's blindness, celebrate his legacy, and laugh over Theo Von's viral quip comparing Wayne Gretzky to Princess Diana, hilariously tying Gretzky's iconic mullet to Diana's regal style.

Kay Jewelers fires Christian associate, Kirk Cameron reinvents kids’ TV with Biblical values, Mexican Baptists displaced again

It's Monday, December 2nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Mexican Baptists displaced again Do you remember the story about a group of 151 Christians, including over seventy children and babies, from the Great Commission Baptist Church in southern Mexico's Hidalgo state? They had been forced out of their villages in April 2024 because of their religious beliefs. Then, they were later permitted to return home. Well, on November 21st the Baptists have been displaced again because local authorities reneged on an agreement allowing them to move back into their homes, reports Church in Chains. Village authorities had forced the Baptists out of the neighboring villages by cutting off electricity and water, vandalizing their church building, and blocking access to some of their homes. The group lived in very difficult circumstances until state and municipal officials brokered an agreement in September between village authorities and the Baptists, allowing them to return home. Electricity and water were reconnected, they were promised state aid if needed, and village authorities agreed to uphold freedom of religion or belief for all. Sadly, village authorities reneged on the agreement. The Baptists are living in tents while they wait to receive government aid. British Parliament votes for pro-euthanasia bill The British Parliament has voted in favor of a bill permitting doctors to help patients kill themselves, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In a 330-275 vote, they advanced the highly controversial assisted dying legislation, so-called “Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill” that allows doctors to euthanize their patients under certain conditions. Kamala Harris' self-congratulatory phone call with donors and activists Appearing on News Nation, Lindy Li, who served on the Harris National Finance Committee, complained about an oddly self-congratulatory 25-minute phone call with Kamala Harris. LI: “She actually held two calls, one for her top donors and one for grassroots. I was speaking and texting with fellow attendees of the call, and we were amazed by how self congratulatory the tone was. The call was about 20-30 minutes. “I don't recall anyone taking responsibility for the fact that we spent about $2 billion across the super PAC and the campaign, and came up so significantly short.  We lost seven swing states.” When asked to provide more detail on the self-congratulatory tone, Li said this. LI: “They praised Harris as a visionary leader. I believe at one moment during the call she was talking about her Thanksgiving recipe. I think I was stunned to hear that, given just the extent and brutality of the loss, and the fact that DNC staffers, at least two-thirds, have been fired summarily. And a lot of them are at a loss as to what to do. “I'm just frankly stunned that there was no sort of postmortem or an analysis of how we can do better, what sort of lessons were learned. It was really just patting each other on the back, congratulating each other on, I'm not sure what, and saying we'll see you for Christmas.” 2024 presidential news coverage most tilted to Democrat nominee ever The 2024 presidential campaign made history in at least one humiliating respect: Broadcast evening news coverage of the candidates was the most wildly imbalanced in history.  It favored Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris over former Republican President Donald Trump by the greatest margin ever recorded, reports NewsBusters.org. The final Media Research Center study, released on October 28th, showed evaluative coverage of Harris — excluding “horse race” assessments — on ABC, CBS and NBC was 78% positive vs. 22% negative. For Trump, those numbers were flipped: just 15% positive press vs. 85% negative coverage. Subtracting Trump's positive press from Harris's positive press, the advantage to the Democratic nominee was 63 points, the greatest in the modern media age. Kay Jewelers fires Christian associate over affirmation of Biblical sexuality Mika Cohen was fired from her position as Assistant Manager for Kay Jewelers in Fairlawn, Ohio, for sharing her Christian beliefs with a co-worker after repeatedly being asked to do so, reports the American Center for Law and Justice which is representing the Christian. While working at Kay Jewelers in June 2023, Ms. Cohen's co-worker repeatedly pressed her to articulate her view on homosexual Pride Month.  While Cohen initially chose not to answer the pointed question, she finally shared her opinion in the employee lunch room, affirming  God's definition of marriage and sexuality.   Proverbs 28:1 says, “The righteous are as bold as a lion.” Despite the fact that there was no quarrel or hostility, Cohen was shocked a few weeks later when an HR investigator at Kay Jewelers informed her that allegations regarding inappropriate discussions of religion at work had been filed against her. Later, a Kay Jewelers manager told Cohen that she had been fired for “talking about God at work.”  She was asked to pack up her things and leave. Christian talk show host Todd Starnes said, “It certainly appears as though Cohen is the victim of a setup by a pro-LGBT staffer. To make matters even worse, it appears as though Kay Jewelers is anti-Christian. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but Kay Jewelers is certainly no friend to Christians.” Kirk Cameron reinvents kids' TV with Biblical values And finally, Kirk Cameron and Brave Books have launched a new venture into children's entertainment, a show the "Growing Pains" actor hopes becomes a significant, Bible-based player in the battle for children's hearts and minds, reports The Christian Post. Cameron hopes the new series called "Adventures with Iggy and Mr. Kirk"  will fill a critical void in children's programming as it blends moral lessons with family-friendly adventures. The series will be available to stream for free on Brave Books' YouTube channel in early 2025. The "Left Behind" star said that he's heard repeatedly from parents that they are "tired of all the indoctrination and the subverting of good, wholesome family values we're seeing from Disney and Nickelodeon." Cameron added, "We want to be one of the tools in their toolbox to help reinforce the lessons that they're already teaching at home, lessons about forgiveness, about the value of all life, pre-born life, disabled life and elderly life. We want to teach kids about courage, about the importance of family and teamwork, and facing your fears." The series follows a puppet named Iggy, a green Iguana, and his mentor, Mr. Kirk (played by Cameron), on adventures that teach Biblical values through engaging storytelling. With a production team featuring veterans from "VeggieTales" and "The Muppets," along with former Disney star Leigh-Allyn Baker, the show aims to rival the quality of mainstream entertainment while offering a distinctly Christian-based perspective. Luke 18:16 says, “Let the children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, December 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Officers at the scene labeled it a crime scene but provided no further details. Officer S.A. Barner, the Cobb Police Department spokesperson, stated that the STEP unit is investigating the serious collision and promised a press release with more information as it becomes available. Stay tuned for updates.  STORY 2:  Challenger Takes Fundraising Lead over Superior Court Clerk  In the Cobb County Superior Clerk race, Republican Deborah Dance has overtaken Democratic incumbent Connie Taylor in fundraising. Initially trailing, Dance's donations surged to over $51,000 since July, while Taylor's remained stagnant at $21,175. Taylor's campaign has faced scrutiny due to controversies, including a judicial emergency in her office and allegations of mishandling passport fees. Dance's support includes significant contributions from local law firms and judges. Despite Taylor's initial lead, her performance has drawn criticism from both parties, with some Democrats endorsing Dance for her administrative capabilities. The election is set for next week.    STORY 3:  East Cobb, Acworth Voters Receive Incorrect Election Mailers  Cobb County voters in two precincts received mailers with incorrect voting locations. Affected areas include Acworth 1C and Roswell 02. Acworth 1C voters should go to the North Cobb Senior Center, while Roswell 02 voters should head to Mt. Zion Methodist Church. Voters must use their assigned polling place on Election Day, but can vote at any location during early voting, which ends Friday. Cobb Elections Director Tate Fall stated the error is being corrected and urged voters to verify their polling place online. Poll workers will assist voters at incorrect locations on November 5.     We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

CobbLinc launched a pilot microtransit program in south Cobb, offering on-demand, affordable rides similar to Uber but subsidized. The pilot aims to provide transit access to less dense areas, with $2 billion of the $11 billion transit tax allocated for microtransit. The service, CobbLinc Go, is praised for its convenience and low cost, but questions remain about its long-term feasibility and integration with other transit options. The tax also includes plans for rapid bus routes and new transit centers.  STORY 5:  Cupid Discusses Nondiscrimination Ordinance at LGBT Forum  Cobb Chairwoman Lisa Cupid discussed potential policy changes, including a countywide nondiscrimination ordinance, at an LGBTQ+ forum. Building on a previous meeting, Cupid suggested initiatives like recognizing Pride Month and increasing LGBTQ+ representation in board appointments. Community members were encouraged to engage with commissioners and support inclusive policies. The forum highlighted Cobb's past anti-LGBTQ+ stance and the need for local nondiscrimination laws, as federal protections are limited. Cupid acknowledged challenges in policy implementation and public support but emphasized the importance of pursuing inclusivity. The forum also addressed the potential impact of upcoming elections on these initiatives.    We'll be back in a moment     Break: Ingles Markets (Yogurt) (10)     And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on picky toddlers     ***LEAH INTERVIEW*** INGLES 1 (PICKY TODDLER)***    We'll have closing comments after this.    Break: Marietta Theatre (06.10.24 MARIETTA THEATRE MARGARITAVILLE_FINAL)    Signoff-    Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.
