ARMY SERGEANT DESIGNS STREET WEAR FITNESS BRAND THAT CATERS TO FITNESS HIP-HOP ENTHUSIASTS

Finding the right out of the box, urban streetwear with a fitness theme is something many of us never knew existed. Rack Runners, a fitness-driven, urban-style clothing line, by Kyle Harvey, 35, a Sergeant in the U.S. Army, was created in 2017.

Rack Runners sells a variety of merchandise including t-shirts, joggers, hoodies, eBooks, and fitness accessories. Since launching, Rack Runners has amassed 10k followers on Facebook and Instagram, also being hand-selected by Facebook to be one of 1,300 members of the Boost Facebook Leaders Network.

Harvey, an Ohio native & Washington, DC area resident, fully opened the Rack Runners online shop after 3 years of finding a niche and working diligently towards quality, research, and development. “Nobody, to my knowledge, has ever combined, streetwear, hip-hop culture, the love of food, and fitness together.

This is what I feel makes my brand unique. There are not just checks or stripes on a shirt. Plenty of time, thought, and creativity went into building this vision. I spent many hours drawing designs from my phone, so it motivates me when I see people wearing my clothes,” Harvey says.

NOTED BLACK AUTHOR RELEASES BOOK FOR TEENS ON HOW TO SURVIVE BEING BULLIED

Nationwide -- Chess Not Checkers by Tony Lindsay is a teen novel with adult adventures and situations. The novel’s thrills happen in both urban and rural environments.

A twenty-year-old, Thaddeus Adams, is looking back to when he was a self-described “nerd” who stood up to a brutal bully, Earl Jacobson. The bully is gang-affiliated and heartless, and he adds layers of difficulties to Thaddeus’ life that no teen should have to endure.

The challenges require strategic planning which shears off layers of Thaddeus’ nerd qualities. At times, we see Thaddeus knocked flat on his back, and at other times we see him standing strong with confidence; he learns to depend on family, community, and friends to survive. Chess Not Checkers is sure to become a teen classic.

The Covid-19 Blues ... The Story of US

Blues Legend BB King Pic Courtesy Wikipedia

By JV Howard

Although instrumental accompaniment is almost universal in the blues, the blues is essentially a  vocal form. Blues songs are lyrical rather than narrative; blues singers are expressing feelings rather than telling stories.

The emotion expressed is generally one of sadness or melancholy, often due to problems in love. The COVID-19 blues could be serenaded into problems feeling about life during a pandemic.

 

Yet nothing speaks to the story of us - in some ways - than the silence of clubs and musicians in the city of New Orleans. It’s said NO has never been so quiet especially with the passing of notable jazz pioneer Ellis Marsalis, to Covid. Taken Covid-19 fallout and NO silence with no carnival together one could sense with immense sentiments the reverberation of BB King’s “the thrill is gone.”

  

It’ been a long year.
