Hello World,

Coming off of a banner year in 2017, which includes a GRAMMY® and two Billboard Music Award nominations for her 2016 Billboard No. 1 third independent project The Life Project (Lunjeal/eOne) and No.1 smash hit “You’re Bigger,” 20 year-old Billboard No.1 recording artist, actress, entrepreneur, motivational speaker and one of Ebony Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World recipient, Jekalyn Carr is poised for just as an impactful 2018! She is set to release her first book You Will Win!: Inspirational Strategies to Help You Overcome TODAY! Also, her fourth independent project One Nation Under God (Lunjeal/New Day) will be released this Friday, February 23rd! Carr’s current single You Will Win (her second consecutive No. 1 single) is spending its 4th week atop both Billboard and Mediabase Gospel Airplay charts with a listenership of over 2.7 million!

Jekalyn’s first book You Will Win!: Inspirational Strategies to Help You Overcome  is a printed and digital resource that will provide Biblical and relevant insight for believers including collections of Jekalyn‘s most inspirational exhortations, pointers and messages that will help readers conquer their storms, live in victory and maintain a winning attitude. As a young motivational speaker for over 10 years, Jekalyn has traveled the country speaking to audiences. You Will Win is a reminder that words have the power to create and speak happiness and joy into your life. Jekalyn provides 14 principles to follow and apply along the path to winning. She also offers 7 ways to win and 12 habits for a win. You Will Win is published through Trinity Broadcasting Networks (TBN) — the company’s first book release.

Jekalyn’s fourth project, One Nation Under God , is a call for all of God’s people to unite, removing the limitations of race, religion, denomination, organization, location, gender, or class. Carr addresses how God desires to see His people, and how we should see ourselves – as one united body of believers. The 15-track project features guest appearances from Donald Lawrence, Nariah Smith, Hope Church, Brown Baptist Church and Ashley Mackey and is produced by Jekalyn’s father, Allen Carr, who’s produced and written her biggest records such as: Greater Is Coming and the GRAMMY® and Billboard Music Award nominated hit song You’re Bigger. The father-daughter duo proves again to be an awesome joint force in uplifting God’s name and His people.

Hello World,

Happy New Year!!! Throughout the month, I will be posting on New Year themes because I allot a month to converse with God, mediate on Scripture and reflect on my life before I’m ready to declare my God-given New Year’s goals and or resolutions. One of the ways that God communicates with me is through gospel music! And if that is true for you too and or even if you just enjoy gospel music, tune into ABC’s “Good Morning America” tomorrow at 7 am! Grammy Award-winner Tasha Cobbs Leonard will be performing songs from her third album HEART. PASSION. PURSUIT. Check out a snippet below of Tasha Cobb Leonard’s song “The Name of Our God!”

NAACP Announces Open Voting for 49th NAACP Image Awards! (That’s Right! You Can Vote!)

Voting Closes Friday, Dec. 15!!!

Hello World,

For the first time in its award show history, voting for the 49th NAACP Image Awards will be open to the public! Viewers will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite nominees in 36 different categories across film, television, and music.

In previous years, winners of the awards were selected only by members of the NAACP. This year, members of the public who are not NAACP members may cast votes by visiting the NAACP Image Awards online at Naacpimageawards.net.

“We are excited about the opportunity to open voting to the public,” said Derrick Johnson,NAACP President and CEO. “The Image Awards represents a universe of powerful stories and images, told in ways that express our beauty and make us proud.”

Since 1967, the NAACP Image Awards has been the preeminent multicultural awards show celebrating the accomplishments of people of color in the fields of television, music, literature and film, and has also honored individuals or groups who promote social justice through creative endeavors. 

While, this year, voters do not have to be members of the Association, the NAACP encourages those who participate in this year’s voting process to become members. “To become a member of the NAACP is to join a community of individuals from all facets of life who like you are committed to the elimination of discrimination of any type and making our nation a better place for all people,” said Johnson.

The deadline to cast votes for the 49th NAACP Image Awards is Friday, December 15, 2017. Viewers can watch the winners claim their trophies just one month later. The Two-Hour LIVE TV special, hosted by Anthony Anderson, will air on TV One on Monday, January 15, 2018, at 9pm/8c, with a One-Hour Live Red Carpet Pre-Show at 8pm/7c. The evening will be the culmination of a day of volunteer service, citizen action, and celebration on the national holiday honoring the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
