Due to documented reports of exponential spikes in new Covid-19 cases across Louisiana, including the spread of the highly infectious Delta Variant, the 2021 Bronner Bros Beauty Show scheduled to take place August 28-30 in New Orleans (NOLA) has been postponed. The new date is to be determined and will be announced on the Bronner Bros. website. The decision was made to postpone due to the gravity of this ongoing public health emergency, particularly its negative impact on professionals in the beauty and barber industry. The Bronner Bros team outlined initial plans in partnership with NOLA convention officials, including necessary precautions to host a safe show. However, given the current circumstances, Show management has decided to place the health and safety of all Show attendees first. Since there is no guarantee that everyone entering the venue will be fully vaccinated, free of the virus, or willing to take a COVID-19 test on site, the most effective way to keep everyone safe is to wait until the pandemic has ended or at least subsided to a better, new normal. “This was a very hard decision, as we were excited about celebrating Bronner Bros. 75th Anniversary and welcoming the world’s most diverse group of beauty professionals to New Orleans,” said James Bronner, Senior Vice President and Show Director. “At this difficult time, I can only think of my father, Nathaniel H. Bronner, and how relevant his wise words are today: ‘Health is Wealth.’ Without our ability to ensure your SAFE participation in all three days, unfortunately the Show cannot go on. Our industry has lost a number of greats to this terrible disease. Our hearts go out to everyone negatively impacted by this pandemic.” The REFUND PROCESS FOR SHOW ATTENDEES AND EXHIBITORS BEGAN WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18th. Attendees who purchased online automatically received a refund. To process refunds for purchases done through a distributor, please visit BronnerBros.com to complete an online form. Bronner added, “We encourage everyone to do their part to keep our communities safe – mask up, practice social distancing and get vaccinated. Looking ahead, we are excited about celebrating with the entire beauty community— in a safe environment— at a later date.” For questions, concerns and the latest Show information please visit, BronnerBros.com KEYWORDS bronner bros international beauty show 2021 - bronner bros hair show 2021 - bronner bros hair show tickets 2021 - bronner bros new orleans - bronner bros hair show 2021 postponed - bronner bros hair show new orleans cancelled - atlanta hair show 2021 - hair show - new orleans covid 19 - bronner bros - beauty professionals - barbers in new orleans - barbers in atlanta - bronner bros beauty show - NOLA convention - 2021 cancelled events - When We Speak TV - Speak TV - Jermaine Sain READERS OF THIS ARTICLE ALSO ENJOYED Keke Palmer Shares Her Hair Story  Bella Rose Passion: The Future of EVERYBODY's Lifestyle Bella Rose, of Bella Rose Passion, shares her inspirational story of becoming a business owner with When We Speak TV.

News Source: OCA AtlantaThe Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs’ (OCA) annual ELEVATE public art festival recently partnered with Facebook to install five new murals, which are a part of this year’s festival — presented digitally on the ELEVATE website, Facebook, and YouTube from October 4 to 10. With 2020 marking a pivotal election year, Facebook launched the “Voting is Voice” campaign and set a goal to register 4 million new voters during the largest voter drive in U.S. history. Facebook’s partnership with the OCA and ELEVATE was a natural fit as the festival will explore the concept of social justice and equity through this year’s programming.  For the “Voting is Voice” campaign, five artists from across the U.S. created original artwork commissions in response to the prompt “Voting is Voice.” Within this theme, each artist explored voting as a powerful tool of the personal and collective voice, the importance of a diversity of voices to a healthy society, the powerful impact of personal narratives as vehicles for change, and our collective responsibility to acknowledge and amplify a broad spectrum of voices. These five murals are a part of Facebook’s push to increase voter engagement and participation during this election year. Each mural will feature the artist’s bio, Q.R. codes, and URLs that direct viewers to Facebook and Instagram’s Voting Information Center, where they can find more information on the 2020 U.S. election and a quick and easy way to register to vote. In addition, the murals encourage public interaction through compelling, relevant design & digital features that create multiple levels of access for every member of the community.

NEWS SOURCE: Hatchett PR The City of Atlanta - Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs will bring its annual ELEVATE public art festival to Atlanta’s historic West End neighborhood from Sunday, October 4 to Saturday, October 10, 2020. This year’s festival events will be virtual.  2020 has brought a pandemic, racial unrest, an economic recession, food shortages, and a political struggle for the soul of our country. Voices calling for change have risen to a deafening pitch. Against this backdrop, ELEVATE: Equity, Activism, Engagement is inviting artists, thought leaders, and the public to examine issues of inequity and injustice with the goal of inspiring community building, activism, and hope.
Here are some of this year’s events and programs: • Musical performances by Kebbi Williams and The Wolf Pack, The Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra, Gritz and Jelly Butter, Tony Hightower, and Julie Dexter. • Mural installations honoring civil rights leader Reverend James Orange and Black women activists from the West End community. • An online and in person voter registration event at the West End MARTA station. • A conversation with New York Times best-selling authors Pearl Cleage and Tayari Jones, who frequently feature Atlanta’s West End community in their work. • The opening of Hammonds House Museum’s exhibition Elements of A Revolution. • A conversation between the executive directors of Atlanta Contemporary and Les Abattoirs/Toulouse to discuss challenges of promoting art during COVID-19, issues of gender equality and racism in their field. Since 1974 Atlanta and Toulouse have been Sister Cities. • A screening of the stirring new documentary, “John Lewis: Good Trouble,” an intimate account of the legendary U.S. Representative’s life, legacy, and more than 60 years of extraordinary activism. • An Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater performance of Lazarus created by acclaimed hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris. The ballet connects the past and the present in a powerful work that addresses racial inequities America faced when Mr. Ailey founded his dance company in 1958 and still faces today. • Renowned artist Carrie Mae Weems, in collaboration with SCAD, will launch RESIST COVID/TAKE 6, a public art initiative raising critical heath awareness about COVID-19 and the ways racial inequities have manifested in the pandemic.
