The weekend of June 20-21, 2026 is meaningful given it's part of the celebration of the Junteenth holiday along with leading into the official (per the actual calendar) start of summer. For Life After the Rain via Shenita Connally and those supported by the organization's efforts, the weekend means something else (in a good way).

While duly noted, the "Iconic" Iota Zeta Sigma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. is among those taking a different approach with a balance of social and community engagement during this ke

Is your life in order? When it comes to preparing for the inevitable, getting one's affairs in order is a conversation that has to take place. Despite the challenges that come with such conversations, not having them can wreak havoc and in a proverbial manner, add kerosene to a fire. Given her life experience in transitioning, Shenita Connally's book Is Your House In Order is a deep yet accessible dive into the need to plan ahead as fully as possible. Inspired by the needs

The ECHL season is a long one. The regular season (72 games) starts in mid-October and for most teams, concludes in mid-April.
