A Passion for Service

Posted by Basquiat at 2:23 PM

Caring is sharing, I've heard said and I agree. In many cases we as a people are helped; individually and collectively. It may not be possible that we always have something to spare, but assistance is not always monetary. It can be good advice, or even an ear to listen. I wake up everyday grateful for my support system and the blessings I have received from up above. I encourage everyone not take one moment for granted, and when able, HELP ANOTHER.

I would like to pass on some information regarding opportunities to lend a hand in NYC:

- Now, through April 22nd you can donate lightly warn shoes to Soles4Souls who are collecting said items in an effort to fight the war on poverty, and help those in need of shoes. You can drop your donation off to Community Christian Church located at 145 W. 110th Street or visit their website for more locations.

- This coming Sunday, April 3rd non-profit Best Buddies helps students with intellectual disabilities. The second Annual Best Buddies NYC Friendship Walk will be held in Washington Square Park. Check in is at 930 A.M. and there is no registration fee.

Get out in the community and be of service. What better way to live, spread inspiration and love?!

Women in the World Summit

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 12:13 PM

The Women in the World Summit took place this past weekend in NYC. With women sharing their stories and solutions to the problems they face, it was a moment of empowerment during Women's History Month. Jewelry designer, David Yurman took part in the Women in the World summit by hosting the auction to help raise funds for organizations that make a difference in the lives of women and girls. Not only is the winning bidder supporting a cause they believe in, but this person is also bidding on something one-of-a-kind. David Yurman cordially invites the winner and guests for a special afternoon, featuring unique access into the world of the premiere luxury jewelry and timepiece designer and an exclusive presentation of his collections.

Doesn't that sound like a treat! The winning bidder and two guests will have an Upper East Side French lunch, and then visit the David Yurman Townhouse on Madison Avenue for an intimate presentation of jewels from David Yurman’s Limited Edition and Couture collections. In addition, she will receive a limited edition David Yurman Infinity gold and diamond necklace, customized to celebrate Women in the World 2011. This exceptional limited edition piece will be one that only this person and her two friends will own, reminding them of the unity and bond shared as women and a priceless treasure to always remember the day and of the winning bidder's generous contribution.

Let us spread love and celebrate the success, strength and power of women around the world.

"Georgia" - A One Woman Show

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 3:12 PM

If you didn't know it was Women's History Month, you should by now. Let us take you to Georgia...not literally, but if you enjoy theater, this may be a show you don't want to miss. Georgia is a one-woman play about a young couple who revels in the dangers and complexities of love. The play investigates the windows of good, evil and the sometimes blurry lines in between. Forcing an analysis of opposing view points in relation to one another, Georgia opens the door on one of the most taboo interactions between a man and a woman.

Georgia was produced by our friend Kevin Benoit of Parlé Entertainment. He's known for putting together great poetry events in NYC. Fariso Jordan, who holds the leading role in Georgia, is an actress and playwright who is avidly invested in the condition of the world. Fariso Jordan directs her creative talents towards telling stories that matter. She is a committed to engaging her passion and inventiveness to create multi-sensory experiences that shift the spirits of her audience members.

With these two joining forces, you can only imagine how much of a great production you're in for.

If you're interested in seeing Georgia, you can catch it on
Sat. March 26th at 7pm || Sun. March 27th at 6pm || Mon. March 28th at 7pm
at the Nuyorican Poets Café
$10 w/Student ID, $15 General Admission

eyeSpot: Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals

Posted by ♥ t i f f a n y at 3:00 PM

Our eyes kicked off fashion week at the adidas Originals store in SOHO of NYC this week. Adidas celebrated fashion week as they launched their new denim originals collection. They also premiered the Spring/Summer 2011 Jeremy Scott apparel and footwear. Many eyes came out to the event ans showcased their Adidas gear. We had mode, Tina Roe tag along as she showcased some of the pieces featured in the adidas store. Some employees and other event-goers also posed for our camera showing off their Adidas apparel.

If you know anything about fashion designer Jeremy Scott, you know that he's known for his outgoing, yet original design aesthetic.

He first partnered up with adidas Originals in late 2008. If you associate the word "fly" with anything, it'll be with JS and his signature "Wings". He's worked with pop stars and sure knows how to bring the pop to a pair of sneakers.With triple-tongues, fire-blowing and iridescent sneakers all already in the vault, the Jeremy Scott x adidas Originals line will assuredly continue to bring outlandish designs to the forefront of kicks culture.

Raffled off at the event were teddies, not teddy bears, but the adidas x Jeremy Scott's Teddy Bear sneakers. They're just as comfy as they look, and they're made for both men and women.

Every month has its significance. In January, a new year begins. February is Black History Month, October, is the National month for Lupus awareness, and the list goes on and on. The same goes for August. The Black August tradition was established during the 1970s. It started in the California prison system by men and women of the Black/New Afrikan Liberation Movement. This was done as a means of acknowledging and studying the legacy of Afrikan resistance in the Americas, and honoring fallen freedom fighters like George and Jonathan Jackson, Khatari Gaulden, James McClain, Williams Christmas and Fred Hampton.

Black August promotes a "non-sectarian mass based" resistance culture inside and outside the prison walls across the United States. The brothers who participated in the collective founding of Black August wore black arm bands on their left arm and studied revolutionary works, focusing on the works of George Jackson. The brothers did not listen to the radio or watch television in August. Additionally, they didn't eat or drink anything from sun-up to sundown; and loud and boastful behavior was not allowed. The brothers did not support the prison's canteen. The use of drugs and alcoholic beverages was prohibited and the brothers held daily exercises, because during Black August, emphasis is placed on sacrifice, fortitude and discipline. Black August is still a time to embrace the principles of 1) unity; 2) self-sacrifice; 3) political education; 4) physical training; and 5) resistance.

Traditionally, Black August is a time to study history, particularly our history in the North American Empire. The first Afrikans were brought to Jamestown as slaves in August of 1619, so August is a month during which Blacks can reflect on our current situation and our self-determining rights.

August 1619 - Arrival of first African slaves in 13 colonies
August 21, 1791 - Haiti slave uprising for independence
August 30, 1800 - Gabriel Prosser's slave revolt discovered
August 21, 1831 - Nat Turner's slave rebellion
August 1850 - Underground Railroad
August 17, 1887 - Birth of Marcus Garvey
August 24, 1943 - Birth of Russell "Maroon" Shoatz
August 30, 1948 - Birth of Fred Hampton
August 8, 1949 - Birth of Dr. Mutulu Shakur
August 1963 - March on Washington
August 1965 - Watts Rebellion
August 25, 1967 - FBI circulates internal order to "disrupt" Black
Liberation groups
August 7, 1970 - Courthouse Slave Rebellion
August 18, 1971 - Capital of Republic of New Afrika attacked by FBI and
police
August 21, 1971 - Assasination of George Jackson
August 28, 1971 - Jalil Muntaqim and Nuh Washington captured
August 8, 1978 - Police raid on MOVE
August 17, 1995 - Mumia scheduled for execution; stopped by resistance
