Dannette Davis, of Kay Davis Associates, has donated a $110,000 statue of the late George Floyd to Harris County. The entrepreneur and philanthropist commissioned the piece, “A Conversation with George,” by renowned sculptress Adrienne Rison-Isom. Isom shared that it took months of research and learning about Floyd to bring the life-sized bronze statue to life. “I met with many of Floyd’s family and friends while creating this piece and everyone described him as having a playful, approachable temperament and human nature,” said Isom. “I wanted to represent that by sculpting him with a nonintimidating facial expression and easy-going body language.” From the beginning of the project, Davis and Isom made it a point to make sure that the Floyd Family Foundation was involved and approved of the sculpture. “It’s his family and they need to be good with it and support,” said Davis. “If they are good with it then we know that we have done our job.” Commissioner Rodney Ellis, whose Precinct 1 includes the Third Ward neighborhood where Floyd grew up, was among the first supporters of the project, along with Houston Councilwoman Carolyn Shabazz. They both worked alongside Davis and the Kay Davis In The Community Foundation to choose the perfect location. “Initially we thought of the Third Ward area until the idea of Tom Bass Park was mentioned. It was really an “aha” moment for us all. The beauty of Tom Bass, surrounded by the lakes and nature, really captures Floyd’s peaceful demeanor as described by his family and friends,” Davis shared. The sculpture depicts Floyd seated at an outdoor table welcoming everyone, all races and ethnic backgrounds, to have a seat and join him. The symbolism of Floyd being an approachable guy who would ” spark” conversation or friendship with anyone is what Davis says she wants visitors to take away. Many do not know that Floyd was also an artist. Davis was impressed when she learned that he played a major part in the rise of Houston’s most notable rap group, “The Screwed Up Click.” The group, which was led by the legendary DJ Screw, helped popularize Houston’s iconic “chopped and screwed” sound that has become synonymous with Houston rap. “We all witnessed the impact that George Floyd made on the world, but at the end of the day, he was a ‘regular guy’ with a few extraordinary talents. He was an athlete and artist, but he was also a father, a son, and a brother,” said Davis. “Just like all of us he was a multi-dimensional human trying to find his way in this world.” She hopes that the life-size bronze statue will not only serve as a tribute to Floyd but will also serve history as a public bookmark, capturing a snapshot of a transformative moment in time. “I think it’s important to focus on his humanity and ours, taking a break from the political messaging that typically follows the mentioning of his name. How do we make life better for the young people he cared about and mentored,” said Davis. “This gift of life-size art should make you ponder your life choices and future. It is also a beautiful bronze piece to be appreciated and admired when visited.” She hopes that it will show Floyd from a unique perspective and foster positive conversations on race. The official unveiling of the statue will be held in May to honor the anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Please find the official press release attached along with additional photographic assets.

Vibe Houston: How did you get in the restaurant / lounge business? Jones: I’ve already held jobs in management in various businesses to owning my own care facility. Getting into the restaurant and lounge business was always something I wanted to do, so I just did it. Vibe Houston: Tell us about Bare Naked Daiquiris – from the concept, to the choosing of the name and location, etc. Jones: Bare Naked is a daiquiri/ hookah lounge.

We still use extreme caution ad follow all Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Vibe Houston: What do you do to give back to the community?

Family, friends and dignitaries around the world were mourning the loss of Archbishop Desmond Tutu,who died Sunday at the age of 90, sparking a global outpouring of tributes to the anti-apartheid hero. He had been in poor health for several years. Desmond Mpilo Tutu was a South African Anglican bishop and theologian, known for his work as an anti-apartheid and human rights activist. He was Bishop of Johannesburg from 1985 to 1986 and then Archbishop of Cape Town from 1986 to 1996, in both cases being the first black African to hold the position. Theologically, he sought to fuse ideas from black theology with African theology. Tutu was born of mixed Xhosa and Motswana heritage to a poor family in Klerksdorp, South Africa. Entering adulthood, he trained as a teacher and married Nomalizo Leah Shenxane in 1955, with whom he had four children, including Mpho Tutu van Furth. In 1960, he was ordained as an Anglican priest and in 1962, he moved to the United Kingdom to study theology at King’s College London. In 1966 he returned to Africa, teaching at the Federal Theological Seminary in South Africa, and then the University of Botswana, Lesotho and Swaziland. In 1972, he became the Theological Education Fund’s director for Africa, a position based in London but necessitating regular tours of the African continent. Back in southern Africa in 1975, he served first as dean of St Mary’s Cathedral in Johannesburg and then as Bishop of Lesotho. From 1978 to 1985, Tutu served as the general secretary of the South African Council of Churches. He emerged as one of the most prominent opponents of South Africa’s apartheid system of racial segregation and white minority rule. Although warning the National Party government that anger at apartheid would lead to racial violence, as an activist he stressed non-violent protest and foreign economic pressure to bring about universal suffrage. In 1985, Tutu became Bishop of Johannesburg and in 1986 the Archbishop of Cape Town, the most senior position in southern Africa’s Anglican hierarchy. In this position, he emphasised a consensus-building model of leadership and oversaw the introduction of female priests. Also in 1986, he became president of the All Africa Conference of Churches, resulting in further tours of the continent. After President F. W. de Klerk released the anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela from prison in 1990 and the pair led negotiations to end apartheid and introduce multi-racial democracy, Tutu assisted as a mediator between rival black factions. After the 1994 general election resulted in a coalition government headed by Mandela, the latter selected Tutu to chair the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate past human rights abuses committed by both pro and anti-apartheid groups. Following apartheid’s fall, Tutu campaigned for gay rights and spoke out on a wide range of subjects, among them his support of Palestinians in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict (alongside his simultaneous belief in Israel’s right to exist), his opposition to the Iraq War, and his criticism of South African presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma. In 2010, he retired from public life. As Tutu rose to prominence in the 1970s, different socio-economic groups and political classes held a wide range of views about him, from critical to admiring. He was popular among South Africa’s black majority and was internationally praised for his work involving anti-apartheid activism, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize and other international awards. He also compiled several books of his speeches and sermons. He continued to be a change agent across the world for decades. In October 2010, Tutu announced his retirement from public life so that he could spend more time “at home with my family – reading and writing and praying and thinking.” In May 2013, he declared that he would no longer vote for the ANC, stating that while the party was “very good at leading us in the struggle to be free from oppression,” it had done a poor job in countering inequality, violence, and corruption. The following month, he welcomed the launch of a new party, Agang South Africa. After Nelson Mandela died in December 2013, Tutu initially stated that he had not been invited to the funeral; after the government denied this, Tutu announced his attendance. He criticised the memorials held for Mandela, stating that they gave too much prominence to the ANC and marginalised Afrikaners, commenting that Mandela would have been appalled. Tutu maintained an interest in social issues. In July 2014, he came out in support of legalised assisted dying,later stating that he would want that option open to him personally. In December 2015, Tutu’s daughter, Mpho Tutu, married a woman in the Netherlands. Tutu attended and gave the proceedings a blessing, despite Anglican opposition to same-sex marriage. Tutu continued commenting on international affairs. In November 2012, he published a letter alongside Mairead Maguire and Adolfo Pérez Esquivel in which they expressed support for the imprisoned US military whistleblower Chelsea Manning. In May 2014, Tutu visited Fort McMurray, in the heart of the Canada’s oil sands oil fields, and said, “The fact that this filth is being created now, when the link between carbon emissions and global warming is so obvious, reflects negligence and greed.” A month earlier he had called for an “an apartheid-style boycott [of corporations financing the injustice of climate change] to save the planet.” In August 2017, Tutu was among ten Nobel Peace Prize laureates who urged Saudi Arabia to stop the execution of 14 participants of the 2011–12 Saudi Arabian protests.[382] In September, Tutu asked Myanmar’s leader Aung San Suu Kyi to halt the army’s persecution of the country’s Muslim Rohingya minority. In December 2017, he was among those to condemn US President Donald Trump’s decision to officially recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital despite Palestinian opposition. Tutu died from cancer at the Oasis Frail Care Centre in Cape Town on December 26, 2021 at the age of 90. His daughter Naomi Nontombi said, “He was ready. He went to meet his God, ready and
Megan Pete, a.k.a. Megan Thee Stallion, was one of 843 graduates who crossed the stage during TSU’s Winter Commencement on Saturday, December 11, 2021, in the Health & Physical Education Arena. The university held two ceremonies – one at 9:30 a.m. and a second at 12:30 p.m. – to recognize and celebrate students who have persevered through portions of three academic years dealing with COVID, matriculating with bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral and professional degrees.

TSU President Dr. Lesia Crumpton-Young, who recently completed her first 100 days in office, shared her dream for her first class of graduates– a dream inspired by Martin Luther King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. “As we celebrate their achievement, we also welcome them into Tiger Nation as alumni across the globe.

If you look up the name Lydia Harris, you will see this Queen is connected to the biggest names in music history, from Marion “Suge” Knight to her ex-husband, Michael “Harry-O” Harris, who was just pardoned from prison by former President Donald Trump. A Vanity Fair article calls her “The Real Cookie Lyon” with many saying Taraji P. Henson’s iconic “Empire” character was a twist on Harris’ life. Harris, who was nicknamed “Lady Boss,” successfully sued Suge for $107M for unpaid properties and royalties and, although he has not paid up yet, she is climbing her way back to the top one creative concept at a time. From authoring a powerful book, working on a new record label, to catering, this Houston woman gives new meaning to the phrase “you can’t keep a good woman down.” We talked to Harris about her latest venture in our “Vibe With” series. Vibe Houston: Tell us about yourself Harris: I am the co-founder of the Death Row Records, now a mother, author and a chef. I am passionate about creating a new legacy that will outlive the infamous record label. That was the beginning of my journey as an entrepreneur and taught me valuable lessons, but none like being a mother to my daughter. I wrote my book for her because I didn’t know what life would look like for me coming up in the era of Death Row. I found a passion in cooking. It became my peace, which I now can share with the world. Vibe Houston: How did you go from the music industry to the restaurant industry? Harris: After Death Row, my life changed. I had to figure out how to live and how to survive and cooking became my escape. The kitchen became a therapy zone for me to be able to express myself in creative ways. I have had several restaurants and my passion has been being able to share the intimacy and see the smiles on peoples faces due to my work in a way that you cannot see in a concert or arena filled with people. Vibe Houston: What do you feel is the best feature of your company…the food or the experience, or is it something else? Harris: When people experience Lydia’s Catering some people experience family for the first time, some love and some joy. It is the level of satisfaction that they get from placing and order and it being fulfilled to their desires. It is an upscale experience. No matter the environment, venue or party I am able to lay out some of the best dishes that people have experience. The food is so good it makes you wanna’ dance. Vibe Houston: Let’s talk about your menu selection. What do you offer and what would you say are your most popular dishes? Harris: Nothing about me has ever been one dimensional. In culinary school they taught us how to prepare a variety of dishes. So, I offer whatever the party requires. Every menu will vary depending on the event. My specialty would have to be fried lobster tails. Growing up, lobster was always considered a high-quality seafood dish. It was expensive and I am a woman who takes pride in what I deliver and giving people the best experiences with every bite. Lobster tails just remind me of elegance and excellence. Vibe Houston: How have you adjusted during COVID? Is business still well? Harris: During COVID business got better because it was more intimate and people experienced more of a convince of Lydia coming to them. I think it really helped because people got to know me for being even more than a chef. I was able to have conversations and build relationships with my clients which made all the difference in the business. Vibe Houston: What do you do to give back to the community? Harris: Recently I have partnered with women’s shelters. I take pride in being able to empower women. We live in a world where too often men will attempt to count a woman out. Or women will compete with each other. My goal is to make collaboration popular again among us. So I enjoy being able to spend my time inspiring women to uplift one another. Every month I aim to do something that gives back to the community in ways that I wish I would have experienced myself. I have a big heart, so I always look for opportunities to use my gifts to be a blessing to others. Vibe Houston: How do you feel about the renewed interest or national push of supporting Black businesses? Do you think it will be short-lived? Harris: I don’t really like the term short-lived. I especially wouldn’t say that about the push for the interest in black businesses. I think we are finding our worth. We are finding our identity. We are waking up in a world that wants to keep us asleep for so long. If you keep pushing through things get better. That’s the power of endurance and perseverance. It’s better to help support black businesses and not give up so easily on them because they can only get better. That’s what happened with all of the great businesses that we know today. When they failed, not only did they keep going but their support also kept going because of their resilience. Vibe Houston: Any advice to entrepreneurs or small business owners fighting to stay afloat during these challenging times? Harris: The challenge is the biggest part of life. You can’t run from it, you have to run to it. Embrace what you don’t know and what makes you think a bit harder. That is where your breakthrough is. Don’t give up because you lose money, people stop supporting, people talk down on your ideas. This is why you have to have identity and trust that God has a plan even when things seem to be still. You will win in the end and that’s

No, it’s a slice-of-life film. Many people experience those elements everyday, if not all of them simultaneously. How did you keep it light, at times? Sometimes in life, you have to laugh to keep from crying. It’s a as simple as that. During this #MeToo era, what is the takeaway message? I would hope that this film would give someone courage to speak up or save themselves. Vibe Houston: How do we make a Houston a major player for big budget movies?
