We are celebrating our first client front page, under the fold story of 2021. Last year we hit a firm record with 5 client front page stories. Daily Newspapers rock and it’s still a big deal to land a story in the hard copy edition. While social media offers rapid news 📰 headlines for time challenged consumers, we will take the long form news, smudged and inked any day. Client Chef Genevieve Vang, owner of @b96streetfood and a James Beard Award nominated chef in the news. (at Detroit, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJIOYVDHuw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Detroit if you don’t know who Devóne Tines is, you will soon. He is the artist in residence at the Michigan Opera Theater, a rising celebrity in world of opera for his rich bass-baritone voice that is captivating the world. He is here with us for a year and guess what is first stop was to Taste the Culture where at none other than Flood’s Bar & Grille. Special thank you to Jamilah Jackson at MOT you are making a difference! In celebrating of June is Soul Flood Appreciation Month, I give you Mr. Tines! Heralded as “[one] of the most powerful voices of our time” by the Los Angeles Times, the “immensely gifted American bass-baritone Davóne Tines has won acclaim, and advanced the field of classical music” (The New York Times) as a path-breaking artist whose work not only encompasses a diverse repertoire but also explores the social issues of today. As a Black, gay, classically trained performer at the intersection of many histories, cultures, and aesthetics, his work blends opera, art song, contemporary classical, spirituals, gospel, and songs of protest, as a means to tell a deeply personal story of perseverance that connects to all of humanity. Davóne Tines is a winner of the 2020 Sphinx Medal of Excellence, recognizing extraordinary classical musicians of color. He also received the 2018 Emerging Artists Award from Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and is a graduate of Harvard University and The Juilliard School. #devonetines #soulfood #floodsbarandgrille #detroit (at Flood's Bar & Grille) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP-_a_HDU3k/?utm_medium=tumblr

I learned something today while setting up for a live FOX 2 News Detroit interview with our client Chef Genevieve Vang, and her daughter Caroline. In celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the Michigan Hmong Women’s Association is hosting a Michigan Hmong American celebration honoring Hmong Veterans, the culture, history, heritage and accomplishments of Hmong people in Michigan. What I learned through a brief history from Caroline is the Hmong people lost their written language under the Qing Dynasty (1600) who made it punishable by death for writing. Hmong speakers did not let that stop them from communicating so they shifted to communicating (storytelling) through pictures, tapestry that visually conveyed their history and movements. Listen to Caroline as she narrates one of her family’s tapestries that shows the migration of Hmong people out of South East Asia, pushed into other countries because of war, and then settling in places like Laos, Thailand, France and the United States. The Hmong people, culture and heritage exist with no physical homeland. (at Detroit Shipping Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWL57JjbR0/?utm_medium=tumblr
