<p><strong>Hudson is now taking interviews and can discuss</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>The audition that landed him the role of Dana in the film <em>Song Sung Blue</em></li>
<li>Breaking into the industry and building a sustainable acting career</li>
<li>Preparing for complex, character-driven roles</li>
<li>The realities of working in today’s film and television landscape</li>
<li>What he looks for in scripts, collaborators, and stories that matter</li>
<li>His experience on the set of <em>Song Sung Blue </em>and other projects</li>
<li>His experience working with the film’s stars and how he developed long-lasting relationships</li>
</ul>
<p>Hudson congratulates Kate Hudson for her well-deserving nomination in the film, saying, “CONGRATS to @katehudson (the best MOVIE MOM ever) on her BEST ACTRESS OSCAR NOMINATION!!!!”</p>

<div>I am not afraid of growing old. Let the wrinkles come—I will wear them like medals, proof that I have laughed, cried, and lived deeply. Let my skin loosen and fold like pages in a well-loved book. Let my hair silver and shine, a crown earned by years of stories.</div>
<div>I do not fear the quiet. Solitude is no stranger; I have learned to make peace with my own company. I have sat in stillness and found strength there. I know how to rest in the silence without being swallowed by it.</div>
<div>But what unsettles me is something else—fate. That unpredictable force that sometimes tucks you in at night like a loving hand and other times leaves you standing in the rain, forgotten and cold.</div>
<div>I do not want to become a burden—a sigh of exhaustion behind closed doors. I do not want my presence to feel heavy in the room or my name to be whispered in tones of weariness. I do not want my dependence to become someone else’s silent sacrifice.</div>
<div>I want to be like the wind—restless, moving, always dancing forward. I want my old age to be a poem of resilience, a morning brewed with memories, a sunset painted with hope. I want to keep learning, keep loving, keep discovering—never stagnant, never finished.</div>
<div>I do not fear aging. I fear being boxed in by a life I didn’t choose—a life that shrinks instead of expands.</div>
<div>So I will keep walking forward, not clinging to what was, but embracing what still can be.</div>
<div>And if the day comes when my steps falter and I lean on others more than I would like, I will offer my gratitude freely, never forgetting that love is not a burden—it’s a gift.</div>
<div>To those who carry others with patience and tenderness—you are the quiet heroes of this world. Thank you</div>
<div>Holmes</div>

Helping kids understand the love for the written word and learn something at the same time is nothing short of a miracle! Now there’s a new book just out that just does that.</p>
<p>Most Bible stories aimed at children are for reading TO children; not ones that kids can read to themselves. But now a new book, uses Bible stories FOR kids to read themselves.</p>
<p>Not only does it promote early reading literacy among young children but offers some great life lessons.</p>
<p>“Bible Stories for Beginning Readers,” leads little ones through stories in a way they can understand. It’s a book kids can call their own and read independently with minimal instruction.</p>
<p>Literacy plays a crucial role in shaping physical and mental health so at an early age can help a child’s overall development that extends beyond the realm of elementary education lessons. It’s been noted that having children read at an early age even helps to achieve higher educational outcomes and sets them up for success in adulthood.</p>
<p>The book’s author – Janice Burnette is a former reading specialist who has taught beginning and struggling readers throughout her career.</p>
<p>Janice is available for interviews to discuss:</p>
<p>Why it’s so important to teach children early on to read.<br />
How literacy can improve a child’s success later in life.<br />
More about why and how she decided to write this book.</p>

Documentary premiere at Tribeca Film Festival about 29-year old influencer, filmmaker and advocate Jasmine IVANNA Espy. She’s also the producer of “The Beacons: Illuminating HS Stories,” a new docuseries from Novartis that highlights her story and the stories of five other people living with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a disfiguring skin disease with no cure that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin. HS is estimated to affect as many as 1 in 100 people worldwide and black people are twice as likely to have HS.</p>
<p>• WHAT: Imagine living with chronic pain that feels like hot coals burning in your skin and experiencing boils in some of your most intimate areas? For the estimated 1 in 100 people living with the debilitating skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)*, it’s everyday life. “The Beacons: Illuminating HS Stories” will feature the stories of six people living with the condition, and how it impacts everything from their day to day life to relationships and beyond (you can watch the trailer here.) It is co-produced by advocate, journalist, and filmmaker Jasmine IVANNA Espy. The event will include a screening of the 30-minute film, followed by a panel discussion.<br />
o About Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS): Hidradenitis suppurativa, or HS, is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to form under the skin, often where skin rubs together, such as the armpits, groin, buttocks, and breasts. The lumps heal slowly, recur, and can lead to tunnels under the skin and scarring. Once considered a rare condition, it is now thought that as many as 1 in 100 people are affected by HS.<br />
o Those living with the condition struggle with more than their ability to feel confident, and it affects things like the ability to put clothes on, sit down, participate in their favorite hobbies, and pursue partnership and intimacy.</p>

“Living looks like still dreaming. A refusal to let cancer suffocate you while you’re still breathing,” wrote prominent spoken word artist Jae Nichelle as part of the new MM Told True campaign.</p>
<p>Designed to empower people with multiple myeloma (MM), MM Told True highlights the stories of those with the disease, bringing them to the forefront through spoken or visual art. In her thought-provoking poem, Jae tells the story of Oya – a committed father, podcaster, aspiring musician and advocate for health equity in the Black community – who was diagnosed with MM in 2017, despite difficulty having his concerns taken seriously.</p>
<p>Since his diagnosis, Oya has become an outspoken member of the MM community, with the hope that others will reach a quicker diagnosis and feel supported through treatment.</p>
<p>MM is a currently incurable cancer of plasma cells in the bone marrow with over 34,000 new cases estimated to be diagnosed in 2023. Even with treatment, the disease tends to relapse – meaning symptoms come back after temporarily improving – or progress.</p>
<p>Patients report feeling like they’re inside a maze, as promising treatment paths repeatedly hit a wall. MM disproportionately impacts ethnic and racial minority groups in incidence, onset and outcome, with Black patients twice as likely to die from the disease compared with white patients.</p>
<p>MM Told True not only illustrates patient stories, but also provides tools and information about MM – so people living with the disease can feel educated and empowered against this relentless blood cancer.</p>
<p>The next phase of the campaign involves encouraging others affected by MM to share their unique stories on MMToldTrue.com, whether it comes in the form of a personal photo, a powerful message or something else that expresses how they feel. These lived experiences can serve as inspiration for people with MM and their care partners.</p>
<p>On March 2, Oya and Jae will be available to discuss how they came together to create meaningful art from Oya’s story, his experience living with MM, and how others can share their own stories and find support through the MM Told True website.<br />

Ari Mittleman-&#8220;Paths of the Righteous&#8221;, Inspirational stories of heroism, Humanity and hope in lieu of the deadly rise of antisemitism, racially motivated crimes and shootings.</p>
<p>&#8220;In today&#8217;s world, too often the focus is on division and difference and that’s what is constantly highlighted in the media.  As a diplomat, I always try to look for common ground and to focus on the future and not dwell on the past. In an increasingly complex world</p>
<p>www.arimittleman.com</p>
<p>Ari Mittleman-&#8220;Paths of the Righteous&#8221;, Inspirational stories of heroism, Humanity and hope in lieu of the deadly rise of antisemitism, school shootings and racism motivated shootings.</p>
<p>&#8220;Paths of the Righteous comes at a time when the Jewish people are under attack for daring to still be here after thousands of years of being hated, assimilated, or both. Read here how Olga Washington refuses to let uninformed anti-Semites decry Israel as apartheid, how Father Desbois repudiates those who would deny the Holocaust with his painstaking work, how Chloe Valdary combats unthinking bias through empathy and an unyielding determination to connect with people rather than make them feel scorned. These and their colleagues are the heroes we need in the 21st century, and I&#8217;m grateful to Ari Mittleman for telling their story.&#8221;  &#8211;Elisha Wiesel, son of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Elie Wiesel</p>
<p>After the worst shooting at a Jewish sanctuary in America’s history took place in Pittsburgh three years ago, one man set out to write a book to highlight the good that others do to help uplift a community. Ari Mittleman, who grew up in Pennsylvania, the same state where The Tree of Life tragedy took place, penned an inspiring book, Paths of the Righteous (Gefen Publishing), about eight non-Jews who have gone above and beyond for the Jewish people during a turbulent time.</p>
<p>“Throughout history, Jewish leaders have shown our community and humanity what it means to be a light unto the nations,” says Mittleman. “But do you know the stories of non-Jewish luminaries that uplift our community while inspiring their own?”</p>
<p>Largely unheralded and not in the headlines, their stories can inspire us. They each demonstrate unique attributes. No matter how hidden it may seem during an uncertain journey and challenging times, collectively they teach us what it means to pursue a righteous path in the 21st century. </p>
<p>Please let me know if you would be interested in having Ari on your program</p>
<p>Thanks!<br />
Adrienne</p>
<p>Ari is available to explore the following:<br />
●      The challenges facing Jews and Israel in a time of greatly increased antisemitism.<br />
●      How we can come together during this climate of hate and bigotry.<br />
●      Why his book identifies what some non-Jews have done for Israel and the Jewish people during turbulent and difficult times.<br />
●      How the stories featured in his book give hope, optimism, and inspiration to humanity.<br />
●      Where historically strong Black-Jewish civil rights activism and support stands now.<br />
●      What it means to be a righteous person today.<br />
●      What we can learn from a South African Black woman discussing apartheid, a male Croatian doctor who helps his country come to terms with its WWII past, a Jamaican-American who volunteers to fight wildfires while transcending language barriers on the Gaza border, and a deeply spiritual Latina who convinced the Guatemalan government to open an embassy in Jerusalem.</p>
<p>Mittleman, a columnist for the Times in Israel who has worked with diplomats and government officials from across the world, hopes his book will spur a dialogue that brings people together. Paths of The Righteous features moving stories from four men and four women, a mixture of people with diverse backgrounds – Latino, Black, and White from Africa, Europe, and North America. Together, they remind us how we all must stand up to help one another, even, perhaps especially, when it is to help others beyond our tribe.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ari Mittleman reveals eight of those non-Jews who are righteous. Read Paths of the Righteous to be inspired. I survived because of a Catholic woman who risked her life in Poland to save me during the Shoah. Especially in these times, this book is a dose of optimism.&#8217;   &#8211;Abraham Foxman, Past President of Anti-Defamation League</p>
<p>“A master storyteller…”   – The Jerusalem Post</p>
<p> Mittleman&#8217;s book strikes an optimistic tone with a creative and unique perspective.&#8221;     -Israeli Ambassador Ishmael Khaldi</p>

COVID POV<br />
By Abbey LeVine<br />
Swirl Studios<br />
Please Take 5 minutes to watch the Proof-Of-Concept Video for the film:<br />
COVID POV Film Proof of Concept<br />
Author: Swirl Studios<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf2WKnuMeB4" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf2WKnuMeB4</a><br />
Meet some of our stories:<br />
Jabari Morgan:<br />
Jabari has been laid off from his job and is waiting for unemployment. He has low to zero income and is<br />
experiencing food insecurity. He rations cans of tuna for his meals because he can’t afford anything else. He has<br />
lost weight from starving in between meals (he is trying to stretch food supply) and is suffering from extreme<br />
depression and isolation. His story is raw, authentic, and beautiful. Jabari’s story exhibits the true insecurity,<br />
struggle, and isolation of what a percentage of our world is going through during this pandemic.<br />
Chris Reece<br />
Chris is a nurse in West Virginia and when this pandemic hit, he instantly volunteered to risk his own life on the<br />
front lines in NYC as a traveling nurse. He packed his bags, left his wife behind, and arrived in NYC right before<br />
the peak happened in March. He worked a total of 40, twelve-hour days with just three days off. He describes<br />
the current state of this pandemic like a war zone, nothing he has ever seen before. He recently returned back to<br />
his family in West Virginia and is adjusting to a “normal” life again.<br />
The Vinci Family<br />
Dorian and Paul Vinci have 2 kids and live in Staten Island, NY. Paul is an MTA bus driver in NYC and is considered<br />
an essential worker during this pandemic. Dorian has become a teacher to her two kids due to the stay-at-home<br />
policy all while she balances working from home, being a wife, mom, and cook. Dorian is mentally, physically, and<br />
emotionally struggling on every level and is extremely scared about Paul catching the virus.<br />
Susan Soltes<br />
Susan and her husband own and operate Bow Hill Blueberries, a farm in idyllic rural Washington that has been<br />
deemed an essential business in the food/ag category. The blueberry farm storefront is closed, but they have a<br />
walkup window and continue making deliveries and sales throughout the statewide shutdown. This pandemic has<br />
totally altered her daily life; her business is struggling and she is fighting emotionally and mentally through this<br />
pandemic as well.<br />
Keesha Clark<br />
37 weeks pregnant at the beginning of this pandemic, Keesha, a first-time mom, was faced with a whole new<br />
look at what it means to be pregnant during a pandemic. Her life changed overnight. She had to spend her last<br />
few weeks going to doctor&#8217;s appointments by herself without her partner, her mom couldn’t fly to share this<br />
intimate time with her as and she had to adjust her birth plan just in case she had to deliver by herself. Fast<br />
forward to her birthday, she ended up having an emergency c-section and is traumatized for life by the way<br />
she was treated due to COVID-19.<br />
Shivkumar Bhadola<br />
Shiv Bhadola is a first-year resident physician based in Boston, MA. After years of medical school, he didn&#8217;t<br />
expect one of his first assignments to be working on the COVID unit team. Excited to be part of a historical<br />
moment, Shiv jumped at the opportunity. After serving on 3 different COVID response teams, he contracted<br />
COVID-19 himself and went into isolation for 12 days. Completely traumatized, this entire experience as a<br />
doctor working on the front lines and as a COVID positive patient has given him nightmares, potentially PTSD,<br />
and made him question whether he still wants to be a doctor.<br />
Yvette Paz<br />
Yvette, a single mom and army vet who lives in Southern California was the FIRST to test positive for COVID &#8211; 19<br />
in March in Long Beach. She was hospitalized, given the trial medication, Hydroxychloroquine, and was<br />
extremely sick. Her story went viral across social media and since has received a ton of attention, good and bad.<br />
She is still mentally, physically, emotionally recovering.<br />
Gary Jourdain, Jr.<br />
Gary Jourdain, Jr. is part of the Red Lake band of the Chippewa and his family have lived on the Red Lake Indian<br />
Reservation for generations. The reservation is on lockdown and Gary is protective of the land he grew up on,<br />
his family, and the 6,000 residents in his community. The tribe depends on casino revenue to stay afloat, but<br />
after seeing other tribes struggle to fight the virus, the recent loss of a close friend to COVID-19, and the very<br />
first case of COVID-19 arriving on the reservation recently, Gary is scared that reopening too soon will cost more<br />
lives.<br />
Laura Sebastian<br />
Laura lives in Madrid with her husband and two daughters. She has been unemployed for the last year and a<br />
half, and she was looking forward to starting a new job in April. But the pandemic put everything on hold. She<br />
is trying to make the best of the quarantine with her daughters&#8230; but is struggling on all fronts.<br />
The Premise:<br />
Around March 13th&#8230;.<br />
The world paused and an unprecedented global reset started. Since then, humanity has come together to survive an<br />
historic pandemic, which some are calling &#8220;the great equalizer.&#8221; Isolation ruptured communities and severed connections.<br />
Our points of view became myopic.<br />
COVID POV explores the day-to-day experiences of families and individuals struggling and succeeding through the<br />
pressures of the COVID &#8211; 19 pandemic. Told through raw, self-shot experiences over 60 days, contributors from all over<br />
the world offer their insights, emotions, and opinions through these altered times. We face what happens when people<br />
are forced to be stripped down to the most basic needs, like food and safety, and how race, gender, and class impact our<br />
allegedly shared experience.<br />
When the dust settles, have we gained a new sense of connection, or has isolation actually made us more divided than ever?<br />
The Purpose:<br />
COVID POV is shot on individual’s phones and told with their voice. We are digging deep into thousands of minutes of raw, unique footage sent to us by our worldwide contributors over 60 days in quarantine. We have chosen 20 main stories that tell the REAL STRUGGLES and the HOPE of this pandemic.<br />
COVID POV captures what it’s like to live this historical pandemic through the eyes of all races, genders, the rich, the poor, business owners, farmers, moms, dads, front line workers. Each POINT OF VIEW has an emotionally raw, authentic, sense that really makes you value the human race and how unpredictable life can be. It is our responsibility to leave stories of the pandemic behind for all future generations. We started filming on March 15, 2020.<br />
It is possible that this film could have sequels from post-quarantine and if we should get re-quarantined.<br />
The Stats:<br />
24 Female Filmmakers participated in this riveting film. 12 of them are mothers, 4 are solo mommas and 6 are immune-compromised.<br />
71 film contributors REPRESENTING:<br />
•	9 US States<br />
•	10 Countries<br />
Outreach and donations:<br />
The project is being produced entirely virtually with no physical meetings of teams taking place during this time and all film contributors submit a daily video diary via their smartphones.<br />
The project has very lofty production goals! The crew has set up a GoFundMe page @ <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/covidpov-film" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.gofundme.com/f/covidpov-film</a> to meet these goals!<br />
