JAHKIL JACKSON AND “PROJECT I AM” WANTS TO END HOMELESSNESS Jahkil Jackson was five years old when his aunt took him to the viaducts to see how homeless people lived. It was Jahkil’s first experience with the homeless, but it wouldn’t be his last. From that experience he decided to create Blessing Bags filled with essential items.

NEWS briefly CITY OF CHICAGO ANNOUNCES RETURN OF THE KATHY OSTERMAN AWARDS CHICAGO – Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot today announced the return of the Kathy Osterman Awards, which will recognize City Employees across various departments who exceeded expectations during the COVID-19 pandemic. The award luncheon, the first since 2014, will honor employees who demonstrated integrity, innovation, leadership, teamwork, mentorship, and compassion during the city’s response to COVID-19. Ten winners and 20 finalists will be selected and announced during the awards ceremony luncheon on Tuesday, December 7, 2021. The Kathy Osterman Awards are made possible through the work of the One Chicago Fund with generous support from Motorola Solutions.

“As the year comes to an end, The City of Chicago is ready to move forward, but not without acknowledging all the arduous work City employees have devoted to our communities and serving our City, with respect and care, regardless of the pandemic,” said Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

“This year, we are pleased to announce the return of the Kathy Osterman Award luncheon to honor City employees who have demonstrated their hard work and compassion during COVID-19. Together we can continue to be a part of a recovery for all Chicagoans and rebuild and improve Chicago.”

Kathy Osterman was considered a dynamic Aldermanic figure who was fully invested in communities across Chicago. She fiercely advocated for the passage of Chicago’s Human Rights Ordinance in 1988. After two years as an Alderman, she retired and was subsequently appointed by Mayor Richard M. Daley as the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Special Events. In that role, she administered an agency that brought millions of dollars into the local economy each year and had responsibility for the city’s major music festivals, neighborhood festivals, and the Taste of Chicago, the second-largest tourist attraction in Illinois.

An ebullient, optimistic, dynamic individual, Kathy Osterman died of cancer in 1992 but left a legacy of commitment to public service and human rights advocacy. The City’s public service awards were renamed for her in honor of her legacy.

GOV. PRITZKER SIGNS CONGRESSIONAL MAPS THAT PRESERVE MINORITY REPRESENTATION SPRINGFIELD — After reviewing the General Assembly’s congressional maps drawn with 2020 U.S. Census data, Governor JB Pritzker signed the new U.S. House district map that reflects Illinois’ diversity and preserves minority representation in Illinois’ delegation in accordance with the federal Voting Rights Act. “These maps align with the landmark Voting Rights Act and will ensure all communities are equitably represented in our congressional delegation,” said Governor JB Pritzker.

A landmark achievement of the civil rights movement, the Voting Rights Act prohibits practices and procedures that discriminate on the basis of race, color or membership in a protected language minority group. Building on and strengthening that consequential law, the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2011 ensures redistricting plans are crafted in a way that preserves clusters of minority voters if they are of size or cohesion to exert collective electoral power. The maps signed into law today meet those requirements by creating a second district of significant Latinx representation that reflects the community’s rapid growth on the west side of Chicago.

The district boundaries also account for population changes in the state, particularly in the regions that saw the most population loss as recorded by 2020 U.S. Census.

The Illinois Congressional Redistricting Act of 2021 (HB 1291) takes effect immediately.

Jahkil Jackson and “Project I Am” wants to end homelessness Continued from page 1

BY TIA CAROL JONES

Jahkil Jackson was five years old when his aunt took him to the viaducts to see how homeless people lived. It was Jahkil’s first experience with the homeless, but it wouldn’t be his last. From that experience he decided to create Blessing Bags filled with essential items. Now at the age of 14, Jahkil has his own nonprofit organization and encourages others to give back.

When Jahkil came home from his visit with the homeless under the viaduct, he asked his parents if he could give them houses. Still thinking about the homeless people, he started to think about the things he used everyday that they might not have, and Blessings Bags was born.

Jahkil started to pass out the bags, which include deodorant, socks, hand sanitizer, toothpaste and toothbrushes, to homeless communities in Chicago.

People who receive the bags are grateful for his generosity. He often hears “God Bless You” and “Stay in School” after he distributes the bags. The freshman at De La Salle Institute appreciates the positive messages from the recipients of the bags.

Jahkil has been recognized by former

President Barack Obama and the Obama Foundation. He was featured on Marvel’s Hero Project on Disney + for his work to alleviate homelessness. He has been named a Youth Ambassador for Heartland Alliance.

Jahkil started “Project I Am” after seeing the homeless people on the streets and wanting to do something about it.

Project I Am encourages young people to get involved in their communities. One of his taglines is “Don’t Wait to Be Great,” which is emblazoned on t-shirts, hoodies and pillows sold on the website.

“Young people always want to do something and always are excited about new experiences, they just don’t get the opportunities to experience things like start businesses based on community service projects,” he said.

During COVID-19, Jahkil used the network he has cultivated through Project I Am to make 7,500 Blessings Bags and distributed them in more than 70 cities.

Jahkil has continued to give back because he likes to finish what he starts.

His mission is to end homelessness. His curiosity and compassion also come into play. He knows there are so many homeless people around the world who need

help and he wants to help them.

“It makes me feel great to know that I’m helping others and to know I’m giving back to the community. It makes me feel happy to see others happy,” he said.

Jahkil wrote the book, “I Am,” which details his experience with bullying in sixth and seventh grade. He wanted to use it to help other young people who might be going through something similar to get through the tough times.

For Giving Tuesday on Nov. 30, Jahkil used his Project I Am network to create and distribute 5,000 Blessing Bags in their own cities, around the world in a radical act of generosity. Children from more than 50 cities have been confirmed for the virtual packing party.

“My advice to other young people who kind of want to start something but don’t know how to get started is to figure out your passions, think about that and how you can turn it into a business. Think about things you like to do. You always want to start something that you want to do in life, you never want to be in jobs you don’t like,” he said.

FDA Expands Eligibility for COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters SILVER SPRING, Md. PRNewswire -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration amended the emergency use authorizations (EUA) for both the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines authorizing use of a single booster dose for all individuals 18 years of age and older after completion of primary vaccination with any FDA-authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet later today to discuss further clinical recommendations.

“Throughout the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FDA has worked to make timely public health decisions as the pandemic evolves. COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be the best and highly effective defense against COVID-19. Authorizing the use of a single booster dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for individuals 18 years of age and older helps to provide continued protection against COVID-19, including the serious consequences that can occur, such as hospitalization and death,” said Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock, M.D. Prior to the most recent authorizations, a single booster dose of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines was authorized for administration to individuals 65 years of age and older, individuals 18 through 64 years of age at high risk of severe COVID-19 and individuals 18 through 64 years of age with frequent institutional or occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Today’s action expands the use of booster doses of both vaccines to include all individuals 18 years of age and older at least six months after completion of the primary vaccination series of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine or at least two months after completion of primary vaccination with the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine.

“The FDA has determined that the currently available data support expanding the eligibility of a single booster dose of the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines to individuals 18 years of age and older,” said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. “Streamlining the eligibility criteria and making booster doses available to all individuals 18 years of age and older will also help to eliminate confusion about who may receive a booster dose and ensure booster doses are available to all who may need one.”

Data Supporting Effectiveness The EUA for a single booster dose for individuals 18 years of age and older for the Moderna (administered as half of the dose of a primary series dose) and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines is based on the FDA’s analysis of immune response data that supported use in the previously authorized populations for boosters.

For the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine booster dose, the FDA analyzed the immune response data from 149 participants 18 years of age and older from the original clinical studies who received a booster dose at least six months after their second dose and compared it to the immune responses of 1,055 study participants after completing their two-dose series. The antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus 29 days after a booster dose of the vaccine demonstrated a booster response.

For the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine booster dose, the FDA analyzed the immune response data from approx-

“THE FDA HAS DETERMINED THAT THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE DATA SUPPORT EXPANDING THE ELIGIBILITY OF A SINGLE BOOSTER DOSE OF THE MODERNA AND PFIZERBIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINES TO INDIVIDUALS 18 YEARS OF AGE AND OLDER.” Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D. Director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research imately 200 participants 18 through 55 years of age who received a single booster dose about six months after their second dose. The antibody response against the SARS-CoV-2 virus one month after a booster dose of the vaccine when compared to the response one month after the two-dose primary series in the same individuals demonstrated a booster response.

FDA Evaluation of Benefits and Risks Since Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech initially submitted safety and effectiveness data on a single booster dose following primary vaccination to the FDA, additional real-world data have become available on the recently increasing number of cases of COVID-19 in the U.S. and on the risk of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and pericarditis (inflammation of the outer lining of the heart) following vaccination with these vaccines. These additional data enabled the FDA to reassess the benefits and risks of the use of these vaccines in the general adult population. The FDA has determined that the benefits of a single booster dose of either the Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines outweigh the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis in individuals age 18 years of age and older when used following completion of primary vaccination to provide continued protection against COVID-19 and the associated serious consequences that can occur including hospitalization and death.

Both Pfizer and Moderna are conducting post-authorization/post-marketing studies to assess known serious risks of myocarditis and pericarditis. In addition, the FDA and the CDC have several systems in place to continually monitor COVID-19 vaccine safety and allow for the rapid detection and investigation of potential safety concerns.

The fact sheets for both vaccines for recipients and caregivers and for healthcare providers contain information about the potential side effects, including the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis. The most commonly reported side effects by individuals who received a booster dose of the vaccines were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, as well as fatigue, headache, muscle or joint pain and chills. Of note, swollen lymph nodes in the underarm were observed more frequently following the booster dose than after the primary two-dose series.

The FDA did not hold a meeting of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee on these actions as the agency previously convened the committee for extensive discussions regarding the use of booster doses of COVID-19 vaccines and, after review of both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s EUA requests, the FDA concluded that the requests do not raise questions that would benefit from additional discussion by committee members.

The amendments to the EUAs were granted to ModernaTX Inc. and Pfizer Inc. For more information, visit http://www.fda.gov. www.citizennewspapergroup.com

POLITICAL Affairs Rep. Robin Kelly Presents Grant Check to East Hazel Crest Fire C ongresswoman Robin L. Kelly (IL-02) presented a check to East Hazel Crest Village

President Thomas A. Brown and Fire Chief William Vallow for federal grant awarded through the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program, which is funded by Congress.

The East Hazel Crest Fire Department was awarded $409,523.81. The Department will utilize this funding for vehicle acquisition to replace their 1984 fire engine. The purpose of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program is to award grants that will directly enhance the ability of fire departments, state fire training academies and nonaffiliated EMS organizations to protect the health and safety of the public and first responders.

“We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges and put additional pressures on fire departments across the country,” said Congresswoman Kelly. “In Fiscal Year 2020, the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program made $355 million available for the purchase of vital emergency response equipment, personal protective equipment, emergency vehicles and training.”

“I am so pleased that East Hazel Crest is receiving a portion of this money to purchase a new fire engine, which will hopefully make the work of the firefighters easier, bring some peace of mind in knowing you have a reliable fire engine, and result in a safer community for everyone,” continued Congresswoman Kelly.

“I’d like to thank Congresswoman Kelly for her assistance in getting us this grant. It’s vastly needed for us to replace a truck that we ordered in 1983,” said East Hazel Crest Village President Thomas A. Brown. “We appreciate all that she’s done for us.”

“I appreciate her coming out and presenting us with that. It means a lot to us because we are a strapped community where our income is very low and a majority of our equipment and everything is generally put together by fundraising and stuff that we have gone out and done on our own. We have, more or less, supported our department just by our own doings. This money means a great deal to us, and we certainly appreciate what she has gotten to us through the fund and the grant program,” said East Hazel Crest Fire Chief William Vallow.

TIDAL Launches New Tiers and New Ways To Get Artists Paid Innovative new products and features, including direct-to-artist payments, fan-centered royalties, and new and enhanced subscription tiers, will allow more music fans and artists to access the power of TIDAL

Victor George Vodka Owner Awarded $2.4 Million FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. PRNewswire -Black-owned Victor George Spirits announced the Fort Lauderdale Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) board voted unanimously to provide $2,450,000 to help fund construction cost of a 15,000 square foot facility that will house a distillery, restaurant, cigar bar, whiskey lounge, co working space and a rooftop bar and lounge located on historic Sistrunk Boulevard.

“This will be a signature project on the Sistrunk Corridor!” said Fort Lauderdale Commissioner, Robert McKinzie.

Victor G Harvey, owner of nationally distributed Victor George Vodka “VG”, through his development company, Northeast 6th Development will use the forgivable loan alongside his own investment and financing provided by a local bank to help transform a once vibrant area back to a destination where neighborhood residents, out of town visitors and other locals can dine, drink, and tour the distillery, tasting new and unique craft spirits. This new building will be named The Victory Building after the historic Victory Theatre once located on Sistrunk. This was the mecca of entertainment for Black people in Fort Lauderdale and the only theatre they could attend up until the end of segregation in 1964.

“As our core brand VG continues to grow nationwide, we are committed to helping our own city grow, particularly the Sistrunk corridor. This has been a long process, but we stayed the course,” said Victor Harvey. Through these difficult times our focus was to keep all of our employees working and get to this point, which we were able to do. This building will allow the creation of several more job opportunities, with most of the hiring

coming from within the neighborhood.”

Alongside Harvey, a spirits industry veteran and Beverage Scientist, Matthew Spinozzi who holds an MSC in Brewing & Distilling from Heriot-Watt University has been brought on board to oversee operations at the distillery.

Spinozzi is a globally recognized sprits consultant, and, previously the Chief of Science and Distilling for Matchbook Distilling Company teaching classes on the flavor science of beverages at the American Distilling Institute, the Bar Institute, and the University of Gastronomic Sciences. Spinozzi is featured on Discovery Channel’s Master Distiller. He is also a decorated volunteer firefighter and EMT. The duo will work together to add additional product lines including whiskey, tequila, hard seltzers as well as non-alcoholic beverages. VG Vodka is distributed in 44 states and available at most major retailers nationwide including Albertsons, Kroger, Trader Joes and more. It can also be found at several on and off premise locations throughout south Florida and as well as Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville. This will serve as distribution points for the new products driven by consumer demand.

VG Vodka, locally made and sourced is gluten-free with all-natural ingredients for a clean smooth taste. The process is small batch and goes through a filtration and oxidation process that purifies and removes harsh congeners and free radicals normally accompanied by fermentation, distillation, and aging. “No hangover, no headache, no burn, just smooth,” said Harvey.

VG vodka retails for $19.99 750ml and $27.99 1.75L.

NEW YORK PRNewswire -- Global music and entertainment streaming service TIDAL announced a number of new updates to the product experience for music fans and artists alike. The enhancements deliver on TIDAL’s mission to create a sustainable, artist-first and fan-centric business model for the music industry and include a new free tier and enhanced paid subscription tiers, direct-to-artist payments, fan-centered royalties, and more. With support from the vast majority of our record label and distributor partners, TIDAL is going beyond current industry standards to make royalty payments more transparent for artists and rights holders.

“We’re building a platform that values art, artists, and culture, and for the first time opening the platform experience up to a wider group of fans with the free tier,” said Jesse Dorogusker, Head of TIDAL. “TIDAL is also supporting artists with fairer earning terms and quicker payments, and fans are getting a better way to support their favorite artists. These offerings are the first step of many, and we’re excited to collaborate with artists to evolve our tools to help them continue to grow and create on their own terms.”

Better Options for Music Fans TIDAL now offers three membership options for fans to choose from: TIDAL Free (US-only), TIDAL HiFi, and TIDAL HiFi Plus. Both HiFi tiers are available in all of TIDAL’s 61 international markets with plans to extend the free tier to other markets in the future. All tiers have access to the same catalog of over 80 million songs, videos and expertly curated playlists, with each tier having its own set of perks outlined below.

TIDAL Free (US-only): For the first time, music fans can now try TIDAL at no cost, with access to our entire music catalog and playlists, with limited interruptions.

TIDAL HiFi: At $9.99/month, this tier offers interruption-free access to HiFi sound quality. With TIDAL HiFi, members have offline capabilities, access to features like TIDAL Connect and My Activity, which provides individualized daily listening insights.

TIDAL HiFi Plus: For $19.99/month, HiFi Plus features everything the HiFi tier offers, in addition the introduction of fan-centered royalties and direct-to-artist payments. HiFi Plus will also continue to provide access to the best-in-class immersive sound formats (Dolby Atmos Music & Sony 360 Audio Recordings) and Master Quality Authenticated (MQA),

www.citizennewspapergroup.com

alongside early access to exclusive offerings and future features.

New Ways for Artists to Get Paid Based on Fan Streaming Creating tools that prioritize the artist experience is central to TIDAL’s new transparency and revenue features, including: Direct-to-artist payments: Beginning today, TIDAL will launch monthly direct-to-artist payments.

This innovative program will give artists access to an additional payment stream, so they can benefit directly from their biggest fans on TIDAL. Each month, a percentage of HiFi Plus subscribers’ membership fees will be directed towards their top streamed artist, which they will see in their activity feed. This direct-to-artist payment is in addition to their streaming royalties.

Fan-centered royalties: PRNewsFoto Starting in 2022, TIDAL is taking a different approach on royalties.

In this new model, royalties attributed to HiFi Plus subscribers will not be aggregated. Rather, royalties will be paid based on the actual streaming activity of individual HiFi Plus subscribers as opposed to the industry accepted method of aggregating streams, empowering fans to play a larger role in the success of their favorite artists.

TIDAL has linked up with Square, Cash App, and PayPal to help ensure quick and seamless payouts to artists globally. TIDAL also has partnered with leading distributors CD Baby, DistroKid, Stem, Symphonic, and Tunecore, with Equity Distribution and Vydia launching soon, to ensure artists sharing music through those platforms are able to receive their payments via in-platform registration seamlessly.

All artists must opt-in to access direct artist payouts, either through TIDAL’s invite-only direct registration option or through one of TIDAL’s distribution partners. TIDAL will continue to open access to the program in the coming months, with information being made available for Artists with music available on TIDAL at TIDAL.com/ForArtists.

“TIDAL has been with me since the beginning, providing emerging artists, like myself, with resources to pursue my passion,” said Sam Austins, singer and songwriter.

“It’s exciting to see them continue to evolve their streaming platform to better support artists and their fans with new features like direct-to-artist payments. TIDAL was founded by artists, so the importance of economic empowerment is ingrained in what they do, no matter what stage of your career you’re in.”

H&M USA Presents The “Buy From A Black Woman Holiday Market” PRNewsFoto

Iconic Supermodel Iman Launches First Fragrance, Love Memoir ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. PRNewswire -- HSN®, a leader in livestream shopping and video storytelling, announced the highly anticipated launch of entrepreneur, philanthropist and iconic supermodel Iman’s debut fragrance, Love Memoir. This new scent is a tribute to her epic romance with her husband, David Bowie, and an intimate reflection of their tender relationship. It is a bottled homage to the mutual devotion of a universally celebrated couple, and like both fine perfume and true love, its story requires a touch of divine alchemy. The fragrance is available exclusively on HSN.com.

Inspired by decades of romance and developed in a multi-year partnership with Batallure Beauty, Love Memoir is a unique composition of luscious, rich rose comingles with a hint of creamy, sensual vanilla; fresh, citrusy bergamot infuses an energetic note; and woodsy vetiver and earthy blackcurrant add smoky layers. Its construction is that of a fragrance made to linger and a fitting tribute to the legacy that only memory can create.

“Memories are like memoirs: They are pressed between the pages of our hearts and minds,” said Iman. Love Memoir is a fitting tribute to the legacy that only memory can create. I hope you enjoy your own love memories and create new ones.”

“It has been a privilege joining Iman as she led us on her personal journey of bringing to life a fragrance inspired by her own true love story. Iman’s vision has been brought to life from the sensual notes of the fragrance to the stunning bottle design. Her connection to every single detail of this project is an honest reflection of memories rooted in deep love,” stated Bridget Love, GMM & VP Beauty, QVC & HSN. “Iman is a beloved member of the HSN family through her Global Chic apparel brand and we are so excited to share Love Memoir with Iman’s adoring fans.”

A labor of love, the signature fragrance is encapsulated in a brilliant bottle, inspired by the cairns throughout the couple’s upstate New York retreat. The bottle embodies an organic, rounded silhouette reminiscent of the balance of overlapping stones similar in strength and unity to that of a mutual, indestructible love. Visions of unforgettable sunsets informed the amber hue, and the hammered gold cap is a nod to the couple’s global heritage and travels.

Iman teamed up with Batallure Beauty, the award-winning product development and production atelier co-founded by famed cosmetics executives Robin Burns-McNeill and Sam Ghusson. “Iman is obviously a very experienced beauty entrepreneur, but this was her first fragrance, so she came to us for guidance. That said, she is very hands-on. We functioned as conductors to bring all of the elements of the orchestra together in order to help make her vision a reality,” said Burns-McNeill.

Iman will appear on HSN’s livestreaming platforms on Friday, November 19th throughout the day to introduce Love Memoir and share the personal journey that informed the fragrance. As a pioneer in the live video commerce space, HSN incorporates entertainment, personalities, and industry experts to provide an entirely unique shopping experience for their customers by offering real-time engagement opportunities along with exclusive products.
