Girls’ and young women’s self esteem issues have become increasingly prominent in the news and of concern to loved ones. A Dove study, Real Girls, Real Pressure: A National Report on the State of Self-Esteem, shows seven in ten girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family. An alarming 50% of women say their body disgusts them and 75% of girls with low self-esteem reported engaging in negative activities such as disordered eating, cutting, smoking or drinking when feeling badly about themselves (compared to 25% of girls with high self-esteem). Education and strong role models increases the likelihood that girls and women will pursue their dreams or become leaders.
An upcoming community event – GLOW – is a comprehensive educational workshop/presentation
that will provide self-esteem education for girls and young women ages 18-35 facilitated
by a strong role model. Education helps stimulate awareness, raise living standards,
reduces low self-esteem. Role Model, Dr. Trevicia Williams, a psychologist, author and
speaker, will be facilitating the workshops. Dr. Williams is also a former child bride
(in a placement marriage at the age of 14) and teenage mother which capacitates her to
reach girls and young women. Her life experiences and accomplishments are crucial aspects
of the educational workshops. Dr. Trevicia Williams earned a Bachelor’s degree from the
University of Houston-Downtown, Master’s degree from the University of Houston-Clear Lake
and Doctorate degree from Walden University (Details at:

Not content to rest on their laurels, the team behind these stellar events is once again raising the bar for their fifth
annual event, with festivities to include top DJ talent, thousands of South Florida’s most divine bodies and plenty of
refreshing beverages from Ciroc Vodka, Presidente Light Beer, Angostura 1919 Rum and Platino Tequila.
In an extremely rare daytime appearance, two of the true pioneers of the American house music scene, Danny
Tenaglia and Victor Calderone, will be converging on the Surfcomber Hotel pool for a massive afternoon and
evening of electrifying beats. Even the most neophyte dance music fan will recognize these legends. With a career
spanning over thirty years, Danny Tenaglia is known around the world for defining the term, "marathon set", with a
ten-hour stretch being an average night at work for this defining DJ. Behind the decks and in the studio, Danny has
been at the forefront of every major dance music movement over the course of his career, from house, to
progressive, to techno and beyond. Unable to be categorized, fans will simply describe his style as "Danny", as his
sets have to be experienced to be believed.
As if Danny was not enough for a massive afternoon, IndepenDANCE will bring out another legend, Victor
Calderone. Learning his first DJing tricks from Danny himself over twenty years ago, Victor Calderone is no stranger
to massive crowds or fame. He has rocked major crowds in Ibiza, Montréal, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and here
in Miami. No stranger to the studio, Victor's own productions are sought out by globetrotting DJs the world over and
his studio magic has been sought out by the best in the business, including Madonna, Depeche Mode, Gloria

“Freedom Fighters is their name. Freedom Fighters is their game.”
“ArtCenter/South Florida’s exhibitions strive to test audiences’ perceptions and understanding of contemporary art and artists,” said Jeremy Chestler, ACSF Executive Director. “Freedom Fighters provides visitors with an ironic and intelligent look at common assumptions and stereotypes of African American activists and their role in defining popular culture.”
Participating artists include Arvay Adams, Michael Paul Britto, Ernest Arthur Bryant III, Caiphus, Roger Cummings, Detekh, Christopher Harrison, Rodney Jackson, Jason Scott Jones, Kobe Mowatt, Duane Smith and Shalette Cauley Wandrick.
Freedom Fighters comprises a powerful mix of fact, myth and perspectives, with illustrations depicting the historical journey of African American people in popular media in the United States. The exhibit forces its audience to question what they know about the featured equal rights activists by presenting them outside of their historical context with pieces titled “Madam C.J. Walker: The Black Godmother (There’s a new godmother in town);” “Sojourner Truth: Truth’s her name, justice is her game, can you face… the truth;” “Harriet: Queen of Spades;” and “Nat Turner: He clobbers the white man as black belt Killmaster Jones”.
“The Freedom Fighters project examines the discourse of Black icons from a wide range of subject positions – humor, satire, irony,” said LeRonn P. Brooks, guest writer with Rush Arts Gallery and lecturer at New York University and Parsons School of Design (NY). “The artists in this exhibit use the poster as platform to turn these histories on their heads by conflating and scattering time, narrative and allegory, while challenging the notion of the Black body as a nation’s image, or as a super moral or immoral icon.”
While movies often receive the glory for shifting popular social understandings, movie posters create both anticipation for the film and canonize its message. Freedom Fighters’ artists isolate the poster medium as a communication tool and take aim at the fixed history of an American legend. They play with meaning and assumptions, recasting the 1970s genre’s characters as “Blaxploitation Superstars.”
Freedom Fighters has been made possible with the generous support of Diaspora Vibe Gallery, Grolsch and Eno's.

" Ms. Bridgé shares. "That's what completes the whole concept of a beauty salon." She
finally quotes.
Situated in the heart of "Lincoln Road" South Beach, just steps away from the best
restaurants, apartment buildings, art galleries and sophisticated shopping, sits the
Lmh Extensions - The Future of Hair Extension, Design and the Arts. My aim is to
make art that simultaneously engage the conscious and unconscious minds. Perspectives are pieced
together into a different interpretation of reality, thus giving the impression of a time and place.
Not in a linear presentation, but one that is founded upon mood and memory.
I create one of kind multimedia constructions using paints, metals, photos, plaster, wood, and
a variety of other materials. I photograph my subjects with a medium format camera from varying
vantage points and over a course of several days. In this way I am able to capture the nuances of
shadow, light, and change. Surfaces, textures, and content figure prominently into the artworks.
I also take into account the properties of the materials used. Colors, numbers, and metals are in
themselves a complete vocabulary. The “unconscious alphabet” that speaks to the collective mind.
Many of my pieces are made intuitively, although every minute part of it is deliberate.
From the paper and toning process, to the metals, objects, and scale, it is all part of
the language used to communicate the story of the artwork.
This coming year I will create a body of work utilizing
computer scanners and printers. I will photograph my subjects with a Pentax 6x7
medium format camera and a digital camera. By combining traditional photographic
methods with digital, I will explore the subtle variations in analogue verses
logarithmic format. I envision the addition of this technological element as a
compliment and natural evolution to my one of kind constructions.
I am interested with the evolution of technology as a microcosm for life itself.
With this in mind, I am impassioned about embracing new mediums and creative possibilities.
A large component of my work has always been about the effects of time. The inevitable
change that occurs through decay and motion is a unifying theme in my artwork. It is a
metaphor of the human condition. Fort Lauderdale, FL (April 15, 2009) – Michelle and Tommy Pooch and Alan Roth are proud to present the 11th Annual Fashion Art Ball, set for Saturday, May 2, 2009 at the recently renovated Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach.
