Payment Sunglasses?

Visa Announcements: Payment Sunglasses & World Surf League

Surf Speakeasy Event at the Visa Everywhere Lounge

When our station, 216 The Beat Radio, received word during SXSW that VISA would be showcasing “payment sunglasses” we were confused yet intrigued.

I am an accessories junky and always looking for an excuse to purchase new sunnies. My collection holds a near and dear spot in my heart and takes of 3 drawers of my dresser (Lol!). You could say that I’m one of those people who doesn’t misplace or breaks my sunglasses and would find this to be ideal for someone like me. I could see myself rocking these at the beach, music festival or at a baseball game (Go Tribe!). These would be especially convenient for those in the media field (photographers, videographers, etc.) who are bogged down with equipment and a wallet is one less thing they’ll have to carry. I can’t wait to test these out (hint…hint…) and see just how much time and effort wearing these actually saves. For more information on the launch…

LYRICKS – CAN’T BREATHE featuring ROBYN

 

Shot in Staten Island NYC | Directed by NOLEDGE PRODUCTIONS

I love when I stumble dope artists that I’ve never heard of before. If you close your eyes this artist’s ethnicity/race wouldn’t be recognizable; with the exception of the opening bars.

Music is universal, it’s colorful yet colorless, it’s metaphors spin tales of ones life or stories that have been passed down. Lyricks ‘Can’t Breathe’ track speaks volumes even 1 year later…

Support bars…

Circle The City with Love #RNCinCLE

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Cleveland is the city where we come from so run! Run!

Violence has riddled our city for the past couple of years. We’re not new to hearing news story after news story, reading Social Media post after Social Media posts of someone/people being shot. The Black community has been greatly affected with senseless violence. Between fighting/killing each other to being killed by police, things have taken a turn for the worse!

Turn on the TV, open your Apps and you’re numbed by the news of another Black man killed at the hands of the police…Another…then Another…!! Why? Why are we targets?

Protests ensue, shots ring out and the latest news update: Cops Killed in Dallas!

Circle the City with Love…what…Love…?

The mission of Circle the City with Love – Cleveland 2016 was to embody the power of love that brings peace and justice to our city, our country and our world through the simple act of holding hands and standing together as one in intentional silence at an important moment in our history.

The idea for this event originated with Sister Rita Petruziello, inspired by the song

“Circle the City with Love.”

As the founding director of River’s Edge in Cleveland , a Congregation of St Joseph sponsored ministry,

Sister Rita wanted to demonstrate the ministry’s mission of “personal and societal transformation so that all life will thrive.”

July 17, 2016 was 85 degrees of stifling humidity; over 1k of us stood in our diverse glory holding hands on Hope Memorial Bridge for 30 mins in silence, in the name of Love. Our Human chain was fueled with bagels stuffed with Humus and Cucumbers, warm bottles of water and sprays of sunscreen glistened off of our sunbathed limbs. We stood for Humanity, Hope, injustice, Peace, and Love. Standing in silence with my family, 216 The Beat Family and strangers turned family, felt more powerful than I imagined.

The blow-horns blared signaling the end of our Stand for Love…it ended with hugs, handshakes and a few tears.

We stood and continue to stand for Love!
