| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:02 PM PST  Mr Obama has released the memoir A Promised Land, which reflects on his time in office. To mark the book's release, Mr Obama shared a list of 20 tracks that inspired him while he was president. Beyonce's 2008 song Halo makes the cut, as does Dylan's The Times They Are a-Changin' and The Beatles' Michelle, a nod to Mr Obama's wife. Soul singer and civil rights activist Aretha Franklin was included for The Weight, Bruce Springsteen made it with The Rising and Eminem was also on the list with Lose Yourself. Beyonce's husband Jay-Z inspired Mr Obama with the track My 1st Song while Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon is another favourite. Frank Sinatra's Luck Be A Lady is included, while the final song on the list is U2's Beautiful Day. Other artists on the list include Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan and BB King. Writing on Instagram, Mr Obama explained some of his choices and said: "Music has always played an important role throughout my life-and that was especially true during my presidency. "While reviewing my notes ahead of debates, I'd listen to Jay-Z's My 1st Song or Frank Sinatra's Luck Be a Lady. Throughout our time in the White House, Michelle and I invited artists like Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan to conduct afternoon workshops with young people before performing an evening show in the East Room. "And there were all sorts of performances I'll always remember-like Beyonce performing At Last for our first dance at our inauguration, Paul McCartney serenading Michelle in the East Room with Michelle and Bob Dylan flashing me a grin before vanishing after his performance of Times They Are a-Changin. "So in honour of my book coming out tomorrow, I thought I'd put together a playlist with some of those songs. Hope you enjoy it." Mr Obama is known for his varied musical tastes. Each year he shares a summer playlist which usually showcases his interest in everything from classic jazz to modern hip-hop.  |
| Posted: 15 Nov 2020 06:51 AM PST When you think about Beyoncé's scandals, the elevator incident involving her husband Jay-Z and sister Solange is probably the first and only thing that comes to mind. But in reality, that's not the only one. Years before then, Beyoncé got caught up in some serious drama that revolved around members of Destiny's Child.  Beyoncé's first scandal involved Destiny's ChildFormed in the '90s in Houston, Texas, Destiny's Child was a group that initially consisted of Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson. After catching the attention of a Columbia Records representative at a showcase, the quartet signed a deal with the label in 1996 and went on to release its breakout single "No, No, No" the following year, per The Associated Press. RELATED: How Long Was Beyoncé With Destiny's Child? Destiny's Child found great success with its self-titled debut album (1998) but really hit the stratosphere with 1999's The Writing's on the Wall, which featured songs such as "Jumpin', Jumpin'," "Bills, Bills, Bills," "Bug A Boo," and "Say My Name." But behind the scenes, tensions had started to grow within the group. In a lawsuit, Luckett and Roberson accused Beyoncé's dad and Destiny's Child's manager Matthew Knowles of managerial misconduct and favoritism toward his daughter. As a result, they asked for their own manager, they claimed in a throwback interview. But instead, they were fired. Beyoncé took a lot of heat for Destiny's Child's problemsAfter Luckett and Roberson exited the group, the rumor mill went haywire, with many people blaming Beyoncé for their problems. In an eponymous biography on the singer by author Sonya Kimble-Ellis, she writes that it got so bad that Beyoncé even received death threats. "That was probably one of the worst experiences of my life," her mom, Tina Knowles, reportedly said in an appearance on CBS Morning Show. "Because it was so untrue [that Beyoncé had caused the group's split] and she took all of the heat for everything." Beyoncé herself later admitted that she fell into a depression amid the fallout with the two group members. "For two weeks, I literally stayed in my room and did not move," Beyoncè told Vibe in 2001. "I felt like I could not breathe. I had a nervous breakdown, because I just couldn't believe it. And it hurt so bad." But Beyoncé eventually sprung back into actionAfter processing what had happened, Beyoncé and Rowland hatched a plan to find new group members, Beyoncé told Vanity Fair. They eventually decided on singers Farrah Franklin and Michelle Williams, who went on to stand in for the old members in the "Say My Name" video. Franklin eventually left the group following her own dispute with Knowles, but Williams stuck around and enjoyed a successful run with Destiny's Child before it disbanded in 2005. These days, the drama within Destiny's Child is a distant memory. Beyoncé has won over the public with award-winning performances, movies, and music, and her former group members have repeatedly said that there's no love lost. There are even reports that they might eventually team up for a Destiny's Child reunion, but we'll have to wait and see what happens with that.

| Miami's COOL Creative Wins BeyGood Business Grant - Miami New Times Posted: 16 Nov 2020 05:00 AM PST In Little Haiti, on the corner of NE 62nd Street and Second Avenue, there's a great big sign that reads "magic." It's only fitting that a block over is a handsome corner store where enchanting things are brewing. One Saturday afternoon in November, entrepreneur and COOL Creative owner and founder Johanne Wilson puts the finishing touches on her new storefront. She wears a black blazer with a Janet Jackson tee and has her braided hair up in a bun. Her facemask has the words "future-ready" printed on it. Although Wilson started her own creative agency, Create Out of Love — COOL for short — in 2012, the businesswoman only expanded into branded apparel in 2018. COOL Creative has grown a lot in the last two years, and Wilson is now gearing up to open a shop in the heart of Little Haiti. So how is pulling this off in the middle of a pandemic that has plunged the country into an economic crisis? Well, she's getting some help from Beyoncé. This month, Wilson discovered she was a recipient of the BeyGood and NAACP's Black-Owned Small Business Impact Fund. Launched earlier this year by the musician and mogul, BeyGood intends to award $10,000 grants to Black-owned small businesses through the end of 2020. Wilson was casually checking emails and clearing her spam folder when she noticed something from the NAACP. She opened the email, and her gaze fell on the word "congratulations" in bold. "I had to read it a few times before it sunk in," Wilson recalls The fund's application goes beyond filling out a business' mission and financial needs. BeyGood wants to know more. One question that stood out to Wilson was about impact and what sort of role the business has in the community. "They weren't just looking for Black businesses doing cool things, but if you are actually contributing to the community," Wilson says. "As a business person, it's about paying it forward as well."  COOL Creative's Little Haiti store Photo courtesy of COOL Creative Originally from Brooklyn, Wilson moved to South Florida in 2007 and lives in Hollywood. When the pandemic struck, she immediately began to think of ways she could help. COOL Creative started selling reusable facemasks, and for each one sold, Wilson pledged to donate one to a frontline worker. She distributed more than 2,000 masks in the Miramar area this summer. In addition to her philanthropic work, Wilson has run an inclusive internship program since starting her own agency. "Throughout my whole career [in the design field], I was always the only one. Always the only one at the table, the only one at the meeting, the only one at the agency," Wilson explains. "If you're the only one, you need to reach back and get some more in there. "If you're the only one, then that's not necessarily something to be proud of because it means that you're not reaching back. It means that you aren't bringing other people along the path with you." COOL Creative's internship program will be extended to the shop once it opens in December. Wilson hopes to teach all sorts of people how to operate their own business and how to market and sell goods and services. "Minority, Black, brown, anybody that does not have the wealth of opportunities that other people do," she adds. "I want to bring them in and expose them to how they can run a creative business." The idea for a fashion brand started with a simple illustration. Wilson's husband, Terrance, drew a portrait of the late Nelson Mandela. A powerful feeling — and her business savvy — compelled Wilson to put the image on a T-shirt. Mandela's portrait stood powerfully under the word "icon" in large bold type. Wilson put the tee up for sale via Instagram, and it quickly sold out. Years later, COOL Creative has a slew of icon portraits on tees, sweatshirts, jackets, and more. The original shirt inspired the brand's now-recognizable icon series, which feature faces of famous Black pioneers on soft tees. With Black history often overlooked in schools, Wilson and her husband see the images as a way to teach their daughter about Black heroes. I Support
Support the independent voice of Miami and help keep the future of New Times free. As a Haitian-American herself, Wilson understands the importance of representation and hopes that with COOL Creative she can not only engage the community but inspire its people. "It's no secret to anybody that lives in Miami that gentrification is real, and Little Haiti has been taken over," Wilson explains. "So I just thought it was important for us to stake a claim in Little Haiti, in a space where there are not many other Haitian businesses. We need to represent and do something that's representative because that matters." Wilson's vision for the COOL Creative space is to be more than just a clothing store. She hopes to eventually host events, book readings, and be a creative hub for the community and plans on featuring the work of other local artisans, particularly women-owned and minority-owned brands.

She went on: "My best advice it to love [your children] harder than ever. "I let my daughter know that she is never too young to contribute to changing the world. I never underestimate her thoughts and feelings, and I check in with her to understand how this is affecting her," said the Formation hitmaker.  |
| Beyoncé makes last-minute endorsement for Joe Biden - Page Six Posted: 02 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST  Beyoncé officially declared her support for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Instagram on Monday, a day before the 2020 election. The pop star posted a Boomerang clip of herself in a head-to-toe Balmain ensemble with a Biden and Harris mask and "I voted" sticker — which she placed atop her hat. "Come thru, Texas! #vote 😘," wrote the singer, a shout-out to her home state, which is one of a handful of critical swing states that could help determine the election. The 39-year-old, who has 155 million followers, also shared a get-out-the-vote post, in which she encouraged people voting with absentee ballots to drop them in a ballot box rather than a mailbox to ensure that they're counted. This isn't the first time Beyoncé has thrown her support behind a presidential candidate. The singer and her husband, Jay-Z, spoke out in support of Hillary Clinton in 2016 at an event in Ohio, where she performed and paid homage to the politician in a sharp matching pantsuit. The Houston-born songstress was criticized in 2018 for her 11th-hour endorsement of Senate hopeful Beto O'Rourke, with some even blaming her for the Texas Democrat's loss to Sen. Ted Cruz.  |
