<p>We’re thrilled to welcome Miesha Smith as Deputy Manhattan Borough President, who brings a deep commitment to public service, higher education, small business vitality, and equity for working families. A Harlem resident and the daughter of immigrants from Guyana, DBP Smith was most recently Assistant Dean for Student Life at Hunter College, where she launched Hunter’s food pantry and fresh food program, expanded emergency support services, and advanced initiatives that improved student retention and graduation.

<p id="viewer-v3nrr26283" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Eagles see and move past currencies to get their prey. Their senses are bonified because of the work put into their actions to be sharpened. Persistence, self-belief, trust yourself, eagles’ trust. So, it’s on the money that represents trust and freedom, like on the United States Currency; “In God We Trust.”</span></p>
</div>
<div data-breakout="normal">
<p id="viewer-dhc5126285" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Lenny Kravitz has a song, “Fly like an eagle,” but to stay above the landscape of life, we must attain the ability to soar like an eagle without complaint, similar to the quacking of a duck. The eagle knows the direction he is going; on the right frequency, he gets there faster. Eagles don’t live by how they fly but by how they adapt and soar in collaboration with their extemporaneous environments.</span></p>
</div>
<div data-hook="rcv-block12">The term we humans call “eagle eye” comes to the aid of our winged hunters by helping them see where they are going with laser-sharp focus. Their nose is not only able to smell what they are after but also is masterfully sharpened to tame their prey. Their wings have their built-in intelligence to trust how to get from here to there and anywhere in between. Eagles, from a young age, get conditioned to harsh environments. Some conditions may raise awareness through failure during their endeavors. In turn, this causes an “Eagle eye” hunt with discipline and precision. In life, we can decide to make our own choices, or we can allow our circumstances to make us.</div>
<div data-breakout="normal">
<p id="viewer-s4ac426289" class="XkByg vaqC7 ch2Kb WcxKu" dir="auto"><span class="MMRe0">Both are used to the eagle’s detriment and survival. Not to mention the eagles’ other talented prowess that comes in the form of their death-dealing talons, that’s why eagles are the most dangerous and majestic creatures on earth. Human attention to detail is a practice in the discipline. Everything we have ever learned has brought awareness at the right time, and forgetting our mistakes brings us to the best outcome. Attitude is facing the right direction. Trial and error get us in the right direction.</span></p>

To get to a lighter attitude and accomplish your desires, you must create a discipline that silences your inner and outer chaos. To rise above it all is to understand how to create your calm.

It only requires a decision to believe in your unique ability to give to yourself and others unconditionally. You free up stagnancy when you are willing to let go of what’s not in your locus of control. We can decide how we are going to feel about a thing without being destructive in our behavior. We can feel emotion without ruining somebody else’s day. When we stay in a behavior that projects negativity it’s a burial where the only friend that comes out is pity. Everyone that participates is in the pity party. There is no inspiration in that! When you switch your intentions to positive priorities it opens a pathway to the tree of knowledge. Nurture your attitude and your garden will grow. Decide to eat good fruit and not be a casualty of ruined fruit.</span></p>

It can be caused by having nothing interesting to do, or by feeling like life is going nowhere. We finally get to start establishing joy and peace. If you ever said to yourself, “Why aren’t I happier in life” you are not alone. Surveys have shown that above 30% of people globally report feeling unhappy or struggling with mental well-being. The impact of unhappiness can be profound, affecting relationships, work, and overall quality of life. So, it’s great you have this article so you can create the value of owning your space. I’d like you to find comfort in the notion that when you lay the foundations of what we talked about above you will find success much less abundance at any door that you dream. Be precise in your actions to achieve more sooner than later. Now find yourself amongst the best of predators in achieving your best you. Ring-a-ding-ding. No more sleeping through your discontent because it’s Rise and Shine O’clock.</span></p>

<p>PRIDE MONTH SPECIAL Drag Queens and Beauty Queens: Contesting Femininity in the World&#8217;s Playground.</p>
<p>by Laurie Greene</p>
<p>The Miss America pageant has been held in Atlantic City for the past hundred years, helping to promote the city as a tourist destination. But just a few streets away, the city hosts a smaller event that, in its own way, is equally vital to the local community: the Miss’d America drag pageant.</p>
<p>Drag Queens and Beauty Queens presents a vivid ethnography of the Miss’d America pageant and the gay neighborhood from which it emerged in the early 1990s as a moment of campy celebration in the midst of the AIDS crisis. It examines how the pageant strengthened community bonds and activism, and how it has changed now that Rupaul’s Drag Race has brought many of its practices into the cultural mainstream. Comparing the Miss’d America pageant with its glitzy cisgender big sister, anthropologist Laurie Greene discovers how the two pageants have influenced each other in unexpected ways.</p>
<p>Drag Queens and Beauty Queens deepens our understanding of how femininity is performed at pageants, exploring the various ways that both the Miss’d America and Miss America pageants have negotiated between embracing and critiquing traditional gender roles. Ultimately, it celebrates the rich tradition of drag performance and the community it engenders.<br />
On your program, Laurie can answer questions like:</p>
<p>What are &#8220;camp sensibilities&#8221; in drag performance and gay culture?</p>
<p>The book explored the personalities of the pageants. Can you give us a flavor of them?</p>
<p>What is the importance of camp in missed America? Drag style, performance, and language.</p>
<p>Tell us about the queering of the miss America pageant? Did anybody work on both?</p>
<p>How do each of the four areas of competition differ on the page TA — swimsuit, evening gown, talent, and interview. There is an object and a subject section.</p>
<p>Who owns the pageants?</p>
<p>What is the Show Us Your Shoes Parade?</p>
<p>Do you see the talent on both sides sharing hard work, perseverance, and talent?</p>
<p>What are the different elements of pageantry and the meaning of individual expression when comparing beauty pageants and drag pageants? Does one try and fit in and one tries to be unique? One fits into boundaries and one tries to break boundaries.</p>
<p>You mentioned that drag is part of the gay community in AC but it has a male focus. Explain?</p>
<p>Talk about the conflicts you found between the gay community and the drag community.</p>
<p>￼</p>
<p>&#8220;An unprecedented look at drag culture and its history in Atlantic City. A must-read for queens and their fans!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212; Sapphira Cristal ― Miss&#8217;d American 2020</p>
<p>&#8220;I have long wondered how the Miss America pageant maintains a conservative appeal while ignoring the known influence and involvement by the gay community. If you&#8217;ve ever known or loved Miss America, you need this history lesson.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212; Erin O&#8217;Flaherty ― Miss Missouri 2016, first openly lesbian Miss America contestant</p>
<p>&#8220;After 30 years in the drag business, I was surprised and elated to learn so much about drag/LGBTQ+ history in Atlantic City. The in-depth exploration of how Miss America and Miss’d America were connected and disconnected is fascinating.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212; Sherry Vine ― Drag Legend</p>
<p>&#8220;Through a highly entertaining, insightful, and informative combination of history, ethnography, and gender studies, Greene uncovers the long-standing influence that Atlantic City&#8217;s LGBTQ+ community has had on the Miss America Pageant.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8212; Rusty Barrett ― author of From Drag Queens to Leathermen: Language, Gender, and Gay Male Subcultures</p>
<p>&#8220;The subject matter is fascinating.&#8221;</p>
