Kentucky Is Worth Fighting For

More than one hundred gather on Tuesday evening at the Kentucky Center for African American Heritage in Louisville to rally with Former Kentucky Representative Charles Booker.

This event is one of many created to encourage others to vote, have hope and believe in change as Booker is running as democratic nominee for the United States Senator position.

The evening consist of an open performance by Louisville’s own R&B singer Marzz, guest speakers Colmon Elridge and DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison all present to help amplify the voices and hearts of those within the room.

From the “Hood to the Holler,” not many people believe that a little boy from 35th and Market Street would be in the position that he is in now today. Booker is working hard to ensure justice for ALL!

During the event Booker asked for there to be a moment of silence for #BreeWay member Chris Wells. Wells took his own life Sunday, he was a man who worked effortlessly to seek justice during the times that the city of Louisville needed love and support most. It’s an emotional and spiritual journey when fighting for justice.

Booker is running against Republican Rand Paul.

The election will take place November 8.

Teens Celebrate Passing of CROWN ACT Ordinance in Louisville

The Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) Act is now law in Louisville, Kentucky, thanks to a group of young teens known as The Real Young Prodigy's.

The CROWN Act was created in 2019 by The Crown Coalition and Dove as a movement that aims to protect all different styles of hair within the black community. California was the first state to pass the law.

In March 2020, The Real Young Prodigy's (TRYP) rallied alongside other youth and supporters to the Kentucky state capitol in Frankfort for the passing of House Bill 43. Thus far only 13 states have completely passed the legislation and Kentucky is not one of them. However, the ordinance of stopping discrimination against natural hair within any school or workplace did become law in other cities such as Covington.

National CROWN Act Day is now celebrated each year on July 3.

The power in black hair independence is magical and says so much about an individual. Singer India Arie mentions how she is not her hair, whereas other celebrities' teach us for others to not touch our hair and for us to whip our hair back and forth.

TRYP rise to fame began with their single RAParations, a song that caused a lot of controversy due to it's civil right historical references. The Prodigy's serve as a voice not only for themselves yet also younger people within their community.

The group was formed at Wheatley Elementary School under the instruction of the 2019 Kentucky Elementary Teacher of the Year, NyRee Clayton-Taylor. A teacher who teaches her students creative reading and writing through hip hop.

Last year their focus centered around Police Brutality which includes fighting for Justice For All black lives across the country including one that hits very close to home, the life of Breonna Taylor.

TRYP music has both powerful content and dancing fun for people of all ages.

On Saturday the group of teens were able to display that during their concert celebration at the Shawnee Community Center where MelodicallyInTune's own Melody Simone served as the hostess for the afternoon.

Be on the lookout for more empowering music and events from The Real Young Prodigy's.

Here are the NaeNae Twins TikTok dance challenge to TRYP song CROWN. Show off your crown and lets see what you got...
