Juneteenth National Independence Day became a recognized federal holiday Thursday, when President Joe Biden signed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act into law. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, marking the anniversary date of the June 19, 1865 when slaves in Texas found out they were free by Union Army general Gordon Granger.

Todd Dulaney: New Music, New Ventures & Boxing?

Posted on by Randi Myles

Yes… boxing! And I am not talking about the Canadian holiday either.

So I had the opportunity to speak with Grammy and Dove Award nominated, Stellar Award Winner Todd Dulaney about his brand new project, “Anthems & Glory” and found out this man has been pandemic busy!

Along with his new project, his new boxing passion, singing the national anthem for the Chicago White Sox recently (He also played pro-baseball for five years.), he and his wife Kenyetta  are expecting their 5th baby that they are aptly calling their “Pandemic Baby” because… well… you know

Anthems & Glory has  17 tracks including his number one single Psalms 18, his latest single Revelation 4 and features heavy hitters like Kierra Sheard-Kelly, Smokie Norful,  Todd Galberth and more.  Go to ToddDulaneyLand.com  for more information on this powerhouse!

I Wanted To Throw My Crocs At The Internet When I Saw This…

Posted on by Randi Myles

…and apparently I’m not the only one.

On Sunday, Balenciaga showcased their new collaboration of stiletto Crocs and knee-high Croc boots. This is the second time Balenciaga has worked with Crocs. The last time featured a platform clog that sold out before the shoe had a chance to debut in stores.

BUT… after some us saw the new eh hem… design the internet was ablaze.

I think that was the point… right?
