The greatest golfer of all time has just paired with one of the greatest boy band members turned solo artist of all time -- in the business world. Tiger Woods has partnered with Justin Timberlake to open an entertainment sports bar in New York City, according to AfroTech. T-Squared Social is already all systems go, as the bar opened up on September 20. Other partners include Nexus Luxury Collection and Howard Milstein’s 8 AM Golf. “The idea for T-Squared Social came to us during a round of golf at Albany, our development in The Bahamas,” said Woods in a statement, according to CBS Sports. “Justin and I thought it would be cool to create a place that combines our favorite things and brings people together to just have a great time. We always knew we wanted to do something together, and NEXUS gave us the platform to bring our idea to life.” This isn’t your typical sports bar. Visitors can experience various activities, including “Full Swing simulators,” which feature golf courses worldwide such as Pebble Beach, Torrey Pines, and St. Andrews. According to the website, bowling and darts are other activities one can enjoy. The new spot offers great eats, including crab cakes, short rib quesadillas, and salmon Reuben, among other great foods. “We knew a concept like T-Squared Social would thrive in New York,” explained Timberlake, per CBS Sports. “It’s a beautiful space that transcends the typical sports bar experience. You can go to be entertained without sacrificing quality or comfort. We’re excited to be partnering with 8 AM Golf on this incredible opportunity right in the heart of one of the greatest cities in the world.” Just as Woods has entertained the masses on the golf course, he continues to do the same in the business sector. He also opened up PopStroke, which is a technology-infused golf entertainment concept with locations all over the nation. “Tiger Woods has had the most significant impact in growing the game of golf around the world and his investment and partnership in PopStroke will undoubtedly introduce the game to a new and wider audience of participants,” said PopStroke founder Greg Bartoli, according to Wood’s golf course design company TGR Design’s website.

The NIL king is here. That kind of king is none other than Rayquan Smith, who has secured 86 NIL deals, according to Blavity. How did he do all this? The Virginia native pitched several brands for NIL contracts. During this time, the young player was waiting to hear back from the Planet Fitness hiring manager. But seeing his peers secure NIL deals made this that much more ambitious and had him return to the drawing board. He would go on to develop a pitch to work for free for several companies. However, only three companies responded after the first round of emails. But he was never deterred, as he continued to expand his list of company pitches, which led to his 86 major NIL deals, according to Yahoo. Sports lawyer Darren Heitner, who represented the Cavinder Twins, confirmed the number of deals, which is the most he’s ever seen. “I was hitting up every company I could, just asking, ‘Can I do this? Can I help promote your product?'” he told On3. “This, this and that. And I had a few people reply back.” His first deals were Smart Cups and Eastbay in 2021. This led to him becoming the first HBCU athlete to partner with Eastbay. “I guess other companies saw what I was doing, so they came on board, and I got an agent that week. Then, once I got an agent, I got one of my biggest deals, and that was Eastbay. Yep. So after that, it was just up from there,” Smith said. Smith signed agent Freddie Berry to help build his NIL empire. “There aren’t many athletes that create content the way that he does,” Berry said. “I’ve worked with Power Five starters, best player on their team arguably, and they’re nowhere near as good when it comes to the NIL aspect. Their photos are just on their Instagram page or just them in their helmet. They’re not willing to kind of step outside of that realm and dabble into the actual marketing side of NIL like him.” His latest deals are Spikeball, Body Armour, G.O.A.T. Fuel, Arby’s, Champs Sports and the Norfolk Admirals hockey team. Smith this year was awarded the HBCU Male Athlete of the Year by the HBCU Xperience. And pretty soon, he will attend the NiL summit.

Police are making headlines for all the wrong reasons once more. A police officer tased the marching band director for refusing to stop a routine band performance of Talkin’ Out the Side of Your Neck by Cameo at an Alabama high school football game, according to npr.org. Two Thursdays ago, around 9 p.m., the altercation took place at Jackson-Olin High School in Birmingham, Alabama. How in the world did all this start? Minor High School band director, Johnny Mims, 39, as well as his ensemble of 145 students were just one minute away from being done with their final song, but a police officer approached the podium. According to both Mims and the Birmingham Police Department, the police asked Mims to halt the performance to clear the stadium. Mims, in response, said the song was going to end and that the performance was agreed upon by both schools. "Nothing we were doing at the time was being a danger to the community, fans or the school," Mims told NPR on Monday. "Everyone was enjoying themselves. That's the part I'm having a hard time grappling with." When the students culminated their performance, the police attempted to arrest Mims for what they deemed not complying. Police, from their perspective, said the band director “refused to place his hands behind his back and allegedly pushed an arresting officer.” Mims, though, said he was caught off guard, saying that it was difficult to see who, in fact, was grabbing him as the stadium’s lights went out. A few minutes later, a police officer pulled out a stun gun and tased Mims. Birmingham’s Police Department said it transpired one time, but Mims contends he was tased up to three times. The entire situation was witnessed by dozens of students, parents, faculty and other onlookers. The Birmingham Police Department on Tuesday released body-worn camera footage of the incident. Mims was sent to the hospital but was later taken to jail on charges of disorderly conduct, harassment and resisting arrests. He returned home Friday on bail. Juandalynn Givan, Mims lawyer, said the incident was “an alarming abuse of power,” calling for the police involved to be put on administrative leave until further investigation. Mims plans to take legal action. "This case highlights the urgent need for police reform, training and the protection of every citizen's rights," Givan said. Mims has been the band director at Minor High since 2018. "I'm a Christian guy and I'm called to forgive but this situation makes me more apprehensive about the police," he said. "You may not know what their intentions might be even when you're doing something positive."

President Joe Biden is making history. The United States' 46th president will announce the first-ever office of gun violence prevention on Friday, which will fulfill the “key demand of gun safety activists as legislation remains stalled in Congress," according to two people with direct knowledge of the White House’s plans. The people said Stefanie Feldman, a longtime Biden aide who previously worked on the Domestic Policy, will, in fact, play a leading role. Executive director of the Community Justice Action Fund, Greg Jackson, and senior director for federal government affairs at Everytown for Gun Safety, Rob Wilcox, are “expected to hold key roles in the office alongside Feldman,” who worked on gun policy for more than a decade and still oversees the policy portfolio at the White House, according to Politico. The development of the office was first reported by The Washington Post. Gun Groups have been relentless when it comes to Biden taking action, as to these groups, it is a step towards unanswered pleas for “an assault weapons ban and universal background checks." Activists have contended that such an office can help the administration coordinate gun policy issues across the federal government, all the while allowing the president and Vice President Kamala Harris to exhibit leadership on the issue. “I really think this is a testament to survivors, impacted communities, pushing for years the administration to do this,” said one of the people with direct knowledge of the plans, who asked to remain anonymous to discuss details ahead of the announcement. Still, since taking office, the president has invested in executive actions and community violence intervention in an effort to combat this issue. Following back-to-back shootings in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas in 2022, the White House has been working alongside a bipartisan coalition in Congress in an effort to pass the very first gun legislation into law in nearly three decades. Signed by Biden in June 2022, that deal “toughened background checks for young gun buyers, helped states implement red flag laws and kept firearms from more domestic violence offenders." In the following month, the Senate confirmed the first director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms since 2013. Photo Credit: DepositPhotos.com

Systematic racism accusations have caused creative director Tremaine Emory to leave the streetwear brand, according to The Cut. According to a resignation letter obtained by the Business of Fashion, Emory cited senior management’s “inability to communicate” in regards to the alleged cancellation of a collaboration with Black artist, filmmaker and cinematographer Arthur Jafa and the “lack of transparency.” “This has caused me a great amount of distress as well as the belief that systematic racism was at play within the structure of Supreme,” Emery wrote in the letter. In February of 2022, Emory was hired as Supreme’s creative director in the “Brand’s first high-profile appointment since it was acquired by VF Corp for $2.1 billion in 2020. Supreme’s spring-summer 2023 line was, in fact, the first collection under Emory’s direction. And previews from it’s upcoming fall-winter line, which was Emory’s last, have been celebrated by fans. Complex called it Supreme’s “best season in years.” Emory, who has worked with Ye and Virgil Abloh, is also the founder of the Denim Tears, which conveys stories of the African diaspora through clothing. Meanwhile, Jafa frequently explores Blackness in America through film, with his most notable in 2016, Love Is the Message, the Message Is Death, which relays a century’s worth of collaged footage, showing Black resilience as well as the ongoing violence against the community wrapped up into a seven-minute montage. In response, Supreme had a major pushback on all of Emory’s allegations in a statement in the Business of Fashion, saying that the brand disagrees with his “characterization of our company and the handling of the Arthur Jafa project,” which it claims has not been canceled. Emory in response to the statement in an Instagram post on Friday, said the following: it's “a lie to hide the systemic racism that lies deep within Supreme and almost all white-owned corporations.” Adding that he’d initially hoped to work with the brand for change, Emory said he was instead “told I was racially charged, emotional, and using the wrong forum by bringing up systemic racism in a meeting where I was asked if we should work with a Black female artist while this Jafa project was secretly shut down without anyone talking to me.” In the wake of his resignation, Emory brought up a conversation he had with Supreme’s founder, businessman James Jebbia, and said Jebbia “agreed with all” of his points and said he would “change Supreme … he’s gotta stand on what he said to me.”

Healthfirst, a leading healthcare provider, and One Hundred Black Men of New York, a prominent organization devoted to community upliftment, have united in a groundbreaking partnership aimed at fostering leadership, generating economic opportunities, advocating for social justice, and narrowing the health equity divide. This collaboration is envisioned to empower young individuals, enabling them to cultivate skills and pursue careers that advocate for equitable access to health education and preventive care. This fall, Healthfirst and One Hundred Black Men of New York will co-host events to promote health and wellness within the community. These events will prioritize education about health and wellness, with a special focus on advocating for regular screenings for health issues that disproportionately affect the Black community, such as prostate cancer, diabetes, and maternal health. Beyond highlighting the significance of preventive healthcare, the partnership will organize informative town hall sessions to educate communities about recent federal alterations to eligibility reviews for enrollees in various healthcare plans. As the public health emergency phase concludes, individuals enrolled in these plans must renew their coverage by their respective renewal deadlines. Healthfirst members seeking assistance with renewal or wishing to learn more about their renewal deadline and required actions are encouraged to visit healthfirst.org/renew. In celebration of their collaboration, the two organizations have introduced the Healthfirst Education & Leadership Program Scholarship. This initiative has awarded financial assistance for college tuition and ancillary needs to five deserving students. A reception was held to honor these scholars, chosen for their exceptional academic achievements and dedication to excellence. The five esteemed Healthfirst scholars are: Navardo Butler, Clark Atlanta University Lamine Kone, University at Buffalo Clirian Nuñez, University of Fort Lauderdale Nicholas Paul, Adelphi University Nicholas Scantlebury, Boston University Miguel Centeno, vice president of community engagement at Healthfirst, emphasized, “Social and economic opportunities help communities live longer and healthier lives. Healthfirst is excited about our work with One Hundred Black Men of New York and honored to have the opportunity to make an impact for the five scholars awarded.” “Thank you, Healthfirst, for believing in the power of mentorship at a young age. Together with Healthfirst, we share the same mission of empowering the youth to lead to better health outcomes for the most vulnerable communities. Knowledge is power,” President Aldrin Enis of One Hundred Black Men expressed gratitude. This collaboration represents a promising step towards addressing healthcare disparities and educational barriers, aiming to empower Black men to lead healthier lives and make meaningful contributions to their communities.

Love is a journey, a timeless commitment between two people that grows stronger as the years roll by. One of the best ways to celebrate and cherish this ongoing journey is by marking each milestone anniversary with a special gift. These gifts are more than just material possessions; they’re tokens of love, appreciation, and the memories you've built together. Traditional vs. Modern Anniversary Gifts Traditionally, each anniversary is represented by a specific material or theme, ranging from paper for the first year to diamond for the sixtieth. The idea is that as the years progress, so does the strength and value of the gift material, symbolizing the increasing strength and value of the relationship. Modern interpretations, however, have added a fresh twist to these time-honored traditions, offering more contemporary options for those who wish to deviate from the conventional. First Decade Milestones 1st Anniversary – Paper: Signifying the blank page of your life together, paper gifts can be as simple as a love letter or as intricate as a personalized book. 5th Anniversary – Wood: Representing strength and long-lasting bonds, a wooden jewelry box or a hand-carved piece of home decor would be ideal. 10th Anniversary – Tin/Aluminium: Celebrating a decade of love, tin or aluminum gifts like decorative items or jewelry showcase durability and flexibility in a relationship. Key Anniversaries in the Second Decade 15th Anniversary – Crystal: Reflecting clarity and transparency in a relationship, crystal gifts such as wine glasses or ornaments can be a perfect choice. 20th Anniversary – China: Symbolizing the delicate yet enduring nature of love, a china dinner set or an ornamental piece can be an exquisite gift. Gifts for the Silver and Gold Milestones 25th Anniversary – Silver: Commemorating a quarter-century together, silver gifts can range from jewelry to decorative items. Silver cufflinks or a pendant can be cherished forever. 50th Anniversary – Gold: Celebrating five decades of unwavering love, nothing speaks more profoundly than gold. A golden necklace, bracelet, or even a simple gold ring can be a testament to your enduring love. Modern Gift Ideas for Milestone Anniversaries While tradition holds its charm, many couples nowadays opt for more contemporary gifts that resonate more with their personal stories. Here are some modern ideas for milestone anniversaries: Personalized Gifts: Items like personalized keyrings with engraved dates, names, or messages make for a touching keepsake. Other options could include custom-made jewelry, personalized calendars with pictures from each year spent together, or even a tailored playlist of songs from each year of marriage. Experience Gifts: Rather than tangible items, gifting experiences can be more memorable. A romantic getaway, a hot air balloon ride, concert tickets, or even a couple's spa day can leave lasting impressions. Tech Gifts: For the tech-savvy couple, gadgets like smartwatches, tablets, or even personalized tech accessories can be the go-to choice. The Diamond Milestone 60th Anniversary – Diamond: While diamond gifts are commonly associated with engagement rings, they're equally significant for a sixtieth anniversary. Representing unbreakable bonds, a diamond brooch, earrings, or even a simple pendant can encapsulate the magnificence of a lifetime spent together. Milestone anniversaries are not just about the number of years a couple has been together, but the myriad of moments, big and small, that they’ve shared. Whether you opt for traditional or modern gifts, the essence remains the same – to celebrate love, endurance, and the beautiful journey of togetherness. Remember, it's not the price or size of the gift that matters, but the thoughts, emotions, and memories that it carries. Photo Credit: DepositPhotos.com
