The Experience Of A Drumline! & So Much More!

Hello World,

There's an expression in the U.S.- 'It ain't over till the big lady sings.'-In this case it's just the beginning, and no one fits the pun. The 5th Annual, "Battle In the Apple" drumline, dance and step competition in New York will kick off with a free gospel concert featuring the largely talented and inspirational sounds of the Virgina University Gospel Chorale. Thursday, March 17, 2011 at Grace Deliverance Tabernacle. Doors open 6:30pm at 650 Remsen Avenue, corner of Avenue A in Brooklyn, N.Y. Tickets are mandatory.

The "Battle In the Apple" main event takes place on this Saturday, March 19, and Sunday, March 20th, 2011. Beats are going to be down in the Baruch College Gymnasium. Doors open 5pm at 55 Lexington Avenue at the corner of 23rd Street. Over 500 participants, including high school students from all five boroughs of New York City, New Jersey and Long island will compete on these two days! Tickets are $20 in advance. Go to www.battleintheapple.eventbrite.com to reserve your seats.

Mr. Ty Brown is the event organizer. "This year's "Battle in the Apple" has a certain special feeling in the air. I feel so proud when I hear from all the coaches how serious and focused their kids are in practice," Mr. Brown commented. In creating this year's event Mr. Brown wanted nothing more than to showcase and promote the talents of the youth participating in the event, as indicated by release; Budget cuts to music and art classes in schools have resulted in fewer opportunities to participate in courses at school. By taking part in "Battle In the Apple" these teams and organizations are able to raise much needed funds to keep programs alive. The dance, step and music programs are a vital part of their lives, and provide a healthy, safe, fun atmosphere in which they learn and gain confidence.

Go experience a drumline, and as you've read, so much more. Be inspired to support the following teams and organizations listed below. Be Excited. Be Blessed!

The Tea at MEC!

Left: Dr. Patricia Ramsey, President Medgar Evers College and Right: Yours Truly, Melanie Lewis  Hello ThresholdWorld Fam, It’s been a while so we’re gonna start off with some flavorful news to warm your spirit.  Sunday, August 28th was the Medgar Evers College (MEC) Pre-Inaugural High Tea Fundraiser in honor of the Sixth President, Dr. Patricia Ramsey.  President Ramsey is the first female and scientist to serve at the college. You’ve got to read her fascinating bio of accomplishments.  https://www.mec.cuny.edu/office-of-the-president/  While contributing to the history she really just wants to make a difference to students and the school community.  She also has cool ties to the schools namesake in  her family tree. Her very own cousin Curtis Harris, served to make sure Medgar Evers legacy was protected back in Mississippi years ago. She shared these sentiments to those of us in attendance as we sipped our tea and tipped our hats in her honor. Speaking of fashion  Michael Kors was on

Honeydew Holistics!

Hello World,  I recently had the pleasure of introducing Alicia Hudson, owner of Honeydew Holistics , for a women's history month event at Borough of Manhattan Community College . Ms. Hudson gave a very informative presentation on womb wellness, to a diverse audience that continued to want more! I followed up by booking a Yoni Steaming, the main service provided at her new shop located in DUMBO (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Overpass) at 53 Bridge St. in Brooklyn, NY. - A little bit of history : The neighborhoods of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill (named differently in the 1800's) housed a  free black community. Brooklyn's anti-slavery movement began in 1810 and there were black-owned businesses in this very area.  Yours truly, Melanie on site. 53 Bridge St. Ms. Hudson referenced that Essence Magazine had an event in the area some time ago which introduced her to the community. She loves her magazines as they've been the source of much inspiration in her life and business. It

Womb Wellness, Education and Celebration!

  Greetings, In May of 2003, I was 7 months pregnant and 10 days shy of my college graduation.  I’d be the first in my family to complete a degree at the time. My mom attended college, yet as a wife and mother in the 1960's, she didn't receive the support needed to continue. Her act in going inspired me. I was filled with so much promise, yet I'd need to develop a new plan. How would I care for a new life, while navigating a career in the real world? Naturally, I continued on with life discovering various paths, yet carrying so much in my womb unknowingly. Joy, Trauma and DisEase included. ——-Fast forward 17 years later ….my daughter would make me aware of a brand which would take me on journey to womb wellness.  Watch as I have a conversation with Genyii of Ahura Apothecary . Genyii is a certified mindfulness and womb wellness coach, holistic birthing doula, mother, community herbalist and owner/founder of Ahura Apothecary. In the video we discuss our journey to the sacre
