THE FUNMI ADEWOLE FOUNDATION SEEKS DONATIONS FROM CHICAGOLAND TO ASSIST WITH MEDICAL MISSION
FAF to Provide Access to Healthcare for Resi dents of Rural Nigeria
Chicago, Ill. – The Funmi Adewole Founda tion, a Chicago based 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to provide free primary health care to underserved communities across Africa, is seeking the help of Chicago to help with its medical mission trip to Nigeria in late October. A $30,000 Go Fund Me fundraiser has been started for the purchase of medications for their annual medical mission trip in October.
Since 2014, the Funmi Adewole Foundation has hosted annual mission trips to rural areas in Ni geria. Medical mission, education, and cancer aware ness are the three initiatives that are the foundation of FAF. Through the hard work of volunteers comprised mostly of Nigerian immigrants, over 17,500 Nige rians have benefited from FAF’s medical missions and education initiatives. The organization also supports quality education in the continent through an education trust fund and promotes cancer awareness initiatives in the United States and Africa.
The annual mission trips will provide the residents of the rural parts of Nigeria a comprehen sive medical checkup that includes health education, followed by triage, doctor’s assessment, deworming, dental checkup, counseling, prayer, massage therapy, eye examinations along with glasses for patients who need or wear glasses. Anticipation for the annual medical mission is high in rural areas; for most residents, this is the only access to the healthcare they have.
“As we all know, healthcare should be the right of everybody. But unfortunately, that is not what is happening in Nigeria as we know it. A lot of people with medical problems have no means of getting care,” stated Dr. Muyiwa Idowu, medical director of the Funmi Adewole Foundation. “We see patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, infections, arthri tis, asthma, skin diseases, eye problems. We need the international community’s support to help with this mission to help save lives.”
According to the National Library of Medicine, only 43.3% of people had access to healthcare in Nigeria, a country of over 200 million, compared to 13.3% of American adults who did not have access to healthcare before the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, patients with chronic ailments who need medication are also given a one-year supply.
Beta Blockers, Glipizide, Antibiotics, Anti fungal, Antimalarial, and Antibiotics for the eye are some medications given to patients. Multivitamins will also be provided to many patients who are malnourished. A former volunteer of the foundation has started a Gofundme fundraiser to raise $30,000 for the purchase of medications for the 2022 medical mission trip in October.
FAF is a registered 501(c)(3) Nonprofit. To donate towards the purchase of medication for medical mission 2022, visit https://www.gofundme. com/f/medical-mission-trip-2022. All donations are tax-deductible.

Illinois Action for Children is Building Strong Families and Powerful Communities
BY TIA CAROL JONES
Fifty-three years in, it continues to enable young children from diverse economic, social and cultural backgrounds to thrive. It does this by helping parents and families find affordable, quality childcare and partnering with childcare providers and caregivers to deliver quality childcare. “We’re helping to sustain the household, invest in communities and contribute to the economy,” said April Janney, CEO of Illinois Action for Children.
The Illinois Action for Chil dren has on-the-ground experience serving children and families state wide, partnering with more than 36,000 childcare providers and educators and supports more than 9,000 parents and families each month to find childcare.
Illinois Action for Children is 1 of 16 childcare resource and referrals that serves Illinois, which means they partner with the Illi nois Department of Human Ser vices to administer the Child Care Assistance Program. Through that program, Illinois Action for Children supports families with childcare funding and supports providers who serve children who qualify for the program.
programs and the Illinois Action for Children are being prepared for kindergarten. Children start as young as birth and go to age 4. The focus on servicing this age group comes from research that shows the first five years of life are important for healthy brain develop ment.
The majority of families that the Illinois Action for Children services are single parent households that qualify for other benefits, which include the Women Infant Children (WIC) program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or Supple mental Nutrition Assistance Program. In addition to the four directly operated sites, Illinois Action for Children also part ners in the West and South Sub urbs with 23 other early learning programs. With the direct and partner sites, Illinois Action for Children provides services that include home visits, screenings for children and daily develop ment.
“We believe it does take a village and we can’t do everything on our own, so it’s key for us with those other 19 partner sites. They’re running their own site, we’ll staff them with a Professional Education License (PEL) teacher that we can pay the salaries they won’t be able to do themselves.”

Illinois Humanities to Launch Series Exploring the Pursuit of A More Perfect Union
CHICAGO – This fall, Illinois Humanities will present a new community event series, Kaskaskia and the Pursuit of a More Per fect Union, exploring the demographic, cultural, and political shifts that shaped Kaskaskia, Illinois, and that carry significant relevance to shaping the democratic vision of the country.
The video program, “Kaskaskia and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union, Part 1,” will premiere online at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6. A screening and in-person discussion about “A More Per fect Union” will follow at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 11, at Chester Public Library, In Chester, Ill.
“The remarkably multilayered story of Kaskaskia is essential to the stories of our state and our country,” said Matt Meacham, program manager of statewide engagement at Illinois Humanities and Randolph County native. “This history involves many groups of people – Indigenous and Black people, both enslaved and free, French and British people, Anglo-Americans from the South and the North, and subsequent immigrants – and many dramatic social, governmental, and economic changes that reflect the landscape of the state and country throughout time.”
From its founding by Native Americans and French Jesuit, to its designation as Illinois’ capital, and through periods of massive
population change, Kaskaskia’s rich stories will provide partici pants in online screenings and in person conversations a unique opportunity to engage with the history of their state and its people. The series is the latest installment of the Illinois Humanities program, The Country and the City: Common Ground in the Prairie State. Additional programs will be held in 2022 and 2023 in Randolph County and Chicago about contem porary African American life in Kaskaskia and the preser vation of French American heritage in Randolph County.
Illinois Humanities Executive Director Gabrielle Lyon said, “Kaskaskia helped to shape our state’s identity and, in turn, the direction of the entire country. This program gives us a chance to understand how that happened and who shaped it. Most of all it makes time for us to ask ourselves, directly, what do we believe? What do we want? What will it take to form a more perfect Union today?”
Linda Mitchell, executive director of the Metro East Literacy Project, will facilitate the discussion at the Chester Public Library along with Meacham and Fairouz AbuGhazaleh, Illinois Humanities’ director of statewide programs.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL LEADS COALITION
D.C. LAW KEEPING GUNS OFF PUBLIC TRANSIT
Chicago – Attorney General Kwame Raoul led a coalition of 14 attorneys gen eral supporting the District of Columbia’s prohibition on carrying firearms on public transportation, including its Metrorail transit system and stations. In an amicus brief, Raoul and the coalition argue that states have the authority to protect public safety by regulating firearms in “sensitive places” where they pose unique dangers.
Raoul and the coalition filed the brief in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia late Friday. Private plaintiffs are suing the District of Columbia and making the extraordinary request that the court should compel the district to allow handguns on its public transit system.
The states’ brief explains that though the U.S. Supreme Court recently altered the judi cial analysis for Second Amendment claims in N.Y. State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the court’s decision did not upend the states’ long-standing authority to regulate the carrying of firearms in certain places. The court reaffirmed in Bruen that the Second
Amendment has never given Americans an unrestricted right to carry loaded firearms in all public places. Instead, states may enact a variety of regulations to combat the problem of gun violence, including solutions tailored to local needs.
As Raoul and the coalition highlight in the brief:
The Second Amendment allows states to take varied approaches to protect against gun violence. The constitutional right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited. As the U.S. Supreme Court recently recognized in Bruen, the Second Amendment does not place state and local governments in a “regulatory straightjacket.”
The district’s regulation is not unusual. Most states regulate firearms in places they have deemed sensitive, from schools and childcare centers to bars and entertainment venues, while others may do so in the future. The locations states regulate differ. Some states specifically prohibit firearms on public transportation. Additional restrictions apply to public transit passengers under local rules.
Firearms pose unique dangers on public transportation. State and local governments invest significant resources to ensure that public transit systems are safe and accessible to the communities they serve. The District of Columbia’s regulation reflects a determination that allowing firearms in these often-crowded areas would jeopardize their effective opera tion and threaten the lives of individuals who rely on public transit every day, including children who use it to go to and from school.
The brief continues Attorney Gener
al Raoul’s work to address gun violence throughout Illinois and across the nation. For instance, the Attorney General’s office created a state-of-the-art crime-gun tracing database for Illinois law enforcement called Crime Gun Connect. Raoul’s office also collabo rates with local law enforcement to combat gun trafficking and has used the office’s jurisdiction to prosecute multi-county gun trafficking offenses. Additionally, the Attorney General’s office works with law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to increase awareness of Illinois’ red flag law and to address gaps in Illinois’ firearms licensing system. The office continues to prosecute individuals who lie on FOID card applications.
Attorney General Raoul has persistent ly advocated at the federal and state level to strengthen regulation of 3D-printed guns and ghost guns. Illinois law now prohibits ghost guns, but the office continues to fight in federal courts to help defend a recent rule closing the federal loophole. Meanwhile, the Attorney General’s office also defends cases pending in courts across the state challenging Illinois regulations of firearms. Nationally, Attorney General Raoul suc cessfully filed and resolved a lawsuit to get the federal firearm license of an unscrupu lous arms manufacturer revoked.
Joining Raoul in filing the brief are the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachu setts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Road Island and Washington.

Elizabeth Norman-Sojourner, an internationally acclaimed soprano and the first artistic director of the South Shore Opera Company, is the choir director at the Richton Park High School. The concert, entitled “Elizabeth Norman-Sojourner and Friends,” featured Norman-Sojourner and other artists such as tenor Christopher Joyner and the musical singing trio Tre Diva.
It was a return to performances for the company which has been on hiatus for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The September 9th concert was held at the South Shore Cultural Center on the city’s South Side.
Norman-Sojourner, who teaches at Southland and is also a voice and music pro fessor at Chicago State University, said she was happy that her students had an opportu nity to perform alongside local professional concert artists.
“It’s the next step for them,” Nor man-Sojourner said. “It’s imperative for our young and talented students to see what their future could be.”
Stephen Ford, a Southland senior, per formed Nessun Dorma, an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot. Ford, who has been a member of the choir since freshman year, performed the same
piece and earned a perfect score in the Illinois High School Association solo competition last year. The 12-member Southland male ensemble performed Agony from the musical Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim.
“As a little kid I didn’t think about being on stage,” Ford said. “But as you progress, you get more comfortable. You start to feel proud and accomplished about sharing your gift.”
Morgan Colvin, a Southland junior who has been in the choir two years, said it was a wonderful experience to perform in a show with his fellow students, Mrs. Norman-So journer and other professional artists.
“I really put in my best effort so that we could put on a really magical performance that everyone could enjoy,” Colvin said. “ Norman-Sojourner said the male ensemble was a hit with the audience. As a result of their “stellar” performance, Norman-Sojourner said that she and male ensemble spokesmen Ford and Colvin were interviewed days after the concert by the master of ceremonies of the evening broad cast journalist Darryl Dennard for his radio programs on Chicago stations Inspiration 1390, V103 and WGCI.
“The audience was very taken with the young men,” Norman-Sojourner said. “These students are the future. Their perfor mance really shows what our young men can do if given an opportunity. All they need is an opportunity.”
JOYCE JOINS WITH COMMUNITY LEADERS TO LAUNCH SOUTHLAND REACTIVATION ACT
State Senator Patrick Joyce joined local communi ty leaders recently to launch the Southland Reactivation Act. The purpose of the Southland Reactivation Act is to attract development, create jobs and lower property taxes in the south suburbs.
“This bill is a big win for the Southland communi ty. It will break the cycle of disinvestment that has been happening for too long in this area,” said Joyce. “This economic development tool has the potential—at no cost to the State— to address blight, expand the tax base, cre ate local jobs in the south suburbs and assist in reducing property taxes for homeowners.”
The bill targets commercial and industrial properties that have shown a clear pattern of economic stagnation or decline of real estate taxes as a result of depressed conditions. The property must be located in Bloom, Bremen, Calumet, Rich, Thornton or Worth Townships in Cook County.
Identified properties that meet qualifying criteria would be assessed at 50% of the last known equalized assessed value. For the first year a property is certified as a southland reactivation property, the aggregate tax bill liability for the property cannot exceed $100,000. Discounts on the liability would decrease gradually, but continue for a total of 12 years.
Alongside this, a web page was unveiled on the South Suburban Mayors & Managers Association’s web site that further explains the plans of what is to come, as well as eligible properties, which can be found at: https:// www.ssmma.org/southland-reactivation-act .
MARTWICK ENCOURAGES RESIDENTS TO CHECK THEIR TAX REBATE STATUS
Millions of Illinoisans are waiting to receive their tax rebates as part of the Illinois Family Relief Plan. State Senator Robert Martwick is reminding residents they can easily check their rebate status online.
“The Illinois Family Relief Plan is our way of rein vesting in our communities,” said Martwick (D-Chicago). “Families are struggling, and this relief is a good start to alleviate that financial despair.”
Supported by Martwick, the Illinois Senate championed Senate Bill 157, which provides millions of Illinois taxpayers with financial relief – including direct tax rebates. The rebates began to roll out Sept. 12, leaving many to wonder when they will receive their rebate.
People who filed taxes will automatically receive their rebate – otherwise they have until Oct. 17 to do so. To check the status of a rebate, people can click here and select “Where’s My Rebate?” An IL-PIN number is necessary to check the status. To find an IL-PIN number, click here and select “IL-PIN Inquiry.”
Under the law, people who filed 2021 Illinois taxes are eligible to receive up to $700. Individual filers who make less than $200,000 will receive a $50 income tax rebate, and couples who make less than $400,000 will re ceive $100. Filers are also eligible for $100 per dependent, with a maximum of three.
Additionally, people who paid property taxes in 2021 on their primary residence in 2020 – and make less than $250,000 individually or $500,000 jointly – are eligi ble for up to $300. The rebate will be equal to the property tax a resident was qualified to claim on their 2021 taxes.
“Every dollar counts for economically distressed families,” said Martwick. “These rebates could be spent on groceries, much needed car repairs, gas, school supplies and more. Check your status today.”
For more information on how the funds will be dispersed or to see qualification criteria, people can visit tax.illinois.gov/rebates.
“Our local governments understand the resources they need to prevent crime in our communities better than anyone,” said Foster. “Thanks to these grants, Aurora and Joliet can continue their work to fight crime by investing in the programs that need it most. I’ll continue working in Congress to ensure our local law enforcement has the support it needs to protect our communities.”
The Department of Justice awarded $67,621 to Aurora and $59,961 to Joliet. More information on the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Program can be at: https://bja.ojp.gov/program/jag/overview .

CHICAGO PUBLIC LIBRARY & CHICAGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS LAUNCH NEW COLLABORATION TO MAKE LIBRARY RESOURCES MORE ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
The 81 Club will allow students and teachers to utilize library materials and databases both in and out of school
Chicago Public Library (CPL) and Chicago Public Schools (CPS) today announced a collabo ration to expand public library access for more than 322,000 CPS students and 21,000 teachers in 648 schools. The program, “The 81 Club,” provides a wide array of CPL resources for students and teach ers, as well as a specialized library card for students. This joint initiative will enable more students to access key learning resources, both in and out of school.
“Now more than ever, we must ensure our youth have access to quality reading and learning opportunities both in and out of the classrooms,” said Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot. “The 81 Club removes barriers so all of our city’s stu dents and teachers can utilize CPL materials and resources. This is an important step forward in our commitment to providing educational programming for our youth to explore and grow.”
Teachers and students will have access to CPL’s online services and databases both in class and outside of school, for more fluid and expansive learning experiences. Students with an 81 Club card will be able to check out five physical items at a time, such as books, DVDs and magazines. Overdrive Public Library CONNECT, a proven, national initiative, will allow students to access CPL’s age-appropriate eBooks and eAudiobooks, in addition to their school’s digital collection, through the program. This physical and digital access for both teachers and students allows for classroom instruction to be streamlined.
“The 81 Club provides access to library materials and resources anywhere a student learns,” said Chicago Public Library Commissioner Chris Brown. “This initiative removes barriers for all Chicago students to obtain a library account,
enabling us to reach the students who most need our services.”
The 81 Club is a multi-tiered approach that will enable CPL and CPS to achieve the goal of removing barriers to reach all students. Students will learn how to connect to the extended CPL catalog in school, through their CPS Sora app. In the classroom, teacher accounts will provide easier access to CPL digital resources, giving the ability to teach directly from CPL databases. Library staff can recommend specific resources for teachers to access in their classrooms. The 81 Club pro vides meaningful opportunities for collaboration between educators, school administrators and librarians to enrich the learning experiences of CPS students.
With this initiative, the card registration process is easy - students can register without identification or parent signature. It allows greater autonomy for students to check out materials, especially those who were previously unable to access library resources because of issues with a regular library card or lack of parental involve ment. Students with an 81 Club card are also able to utilize regular CPL cards for expanded access to materials and special items.
“We’re grateful and excited to launch this new partnership with Chicago Public Library,” said CPS CEO Pedro Martinez. “This partnership expands our students’ access to the wealth of resources, from digital to print materials, offered through CPL’s 81 amazing library branches which inspire and support literacy and lifelong learning opportunities.”
Students will be able to register for the account this fall. Chicago Public Library has created and distributed “eTeach” cards for CPS
instruction. In the coming months, CPS teachers will learn more about the new student and teacher cards, as well as highlights of CPL e-resources for classroom use. In November, students will be able to visit their local libraries to pick up a newly designed 81 Club library card.
The 81 Club builds on the success of other recent access initiatives at CPL, including the elimination of overdue fines and expanded Sunday hours. As we continue to recover from the learning disruptions created by a pandemic, CPL can play an important role in ensuring that every CPS stu dent has access to the tools and resources needed to bridge those gaps.
For complete program information and events, visit chipublib.org/81Club.
The 81 Club program is supported by our creative partner FCB Chicago and other generous donors to CPL’s philanthropic partner, Chicago Public Library Foundation (CPLF). To learn more about how CPLF supports the Library’s mission and offerings, visit cplfoundation.org.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL JOINS LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR MAJOR CREDIT CARD COMPANIES’ ADOPTION OF NEW MERCHANT CODE FOR GUN SALES BY ARMS RETAILERS
Attorney General Kwame Raoul joined a coalition of 11 attorneys general supporting the adoption of a new merchant category code by three of the world’s largest credit card companies: Visa, American Express and Mastercard. The new code applies to the sale of firearms and ammuni tion, which will aid law enforcement efforts to combat the scourge of gun violence.
Earlier this month, the International Organization for Standardization approved the creation of a new merchant code that will allow financial institutions to better detect and report suspicious activity related to the purchase of firearms and ammunition at stand-alone gun retail stores.
The code will have no bearing on an individual’s ability to lawfully purchase firearms and is narrowly tailored so it applies only to purchases made at stand-alone gun retail shops. The decision by the credit card com panies is viewed by gun-safety advocates as an important action that will help law enforcement investigate gun crimes, prevent mass shootings and combat illegal weapons trafficking.
In a letter to the chief executives of Visa, American Express and Mastercard, Attorney General Raoul welcomed the companies’ decision to adopt the new merchant code as an important new public safety tool. Gun violence is a national crisis. There have been hundreds of mass shootings in 2022 alone, including the July 4 mass shooting at the Highland Park, Illinois Independence Day parade, a supermarket shooting in Buffalo, New York and the Uvalde Elementary School massacre. In addition, gun violence plagues communities in Chicago and around Illinois. A collective effort – not just isolated acts – is critical to turn the tide on gun-related violence and crime, the letter asserts.
The letter anticipates that use of the new merchant code will yield vital information to fill crucial data gaps related to multiple purchases of firearms and ammunition. Critically, the letter points out, the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has identified failure by retailers to report the sale of two or more firearms to the same person at one time as a common violation found by ATF inspectors.
In addition, the letter notes that the code will enable financial institu tions to track multiple sales to persons who seek to avoid the threshold for reporting gun purchases by making firearms purchases at several different retail outlets.

Clear the Bathroom Clutter
(Family Features) Due to their small size and heavy usage, bathrooms can become messy, cluttered areas for many families.
For those with smaller bathrooms, storage solutions can be even harder to find. Consider these organization tips to make your bathroom a clean and functional space for every member of the family:
Assess the mess: Go through all the cabinets and drawers to clear out unused makeup, health care products and medi cations. Make sure the items you keep are used on a regular basis. Items used sparingly should be placed in an alternate location.
Go vertical: Medicine cabinets can quickly get stuffed when combs, toothpaste
and other toiletries are stored horizontally. Use organizer cups with suction adhesives to contain items vertically and save space.
Hang up in style: Old coat racks and ladders make perfect solutions for larger families to hang multiple towels. Snag an old one from a thrift store and paint it a bright hue, like red or turquoise, for a styl ish bathroom accent piece.
Avoid spills and squirts: Hair products, such as gels, mousses or hairsprays, can create sticky, tough-to-clean messes if liquid escapes the container in a drawer or cabinet. Avoid such mishaps by placing these types of items in plastic tubs instead of directly in the drawer or on a shelf.
Divide and conquer: Bathroom drawers
can become unruly if not organized. To keep items separate and tidy, insert dividers, such as those used for kitchen utensils. These often come in fun materials, such as bamboo or stainless steel, to add a fresh look.
Assign cabinets or drawers: Try to use a large enough cabinet so each member of the family has his or her own space or draw er. This can help limit the amount of items high-maintenance family members can bring into the small area. Plus, it makes it easier for everyone to find their things.

WHERE ART CAN OCCUR THEATER CENTER’S WEARABLE ART GALA RETURNS IN PERSON
LOS ANGELES, PRNewswire -- Where Art Can Occur (WACO) Theater Center announces the five-year anniversary, and this year’s Wear able Art Gala at 4:30 p.m. PST Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA. The Gala will be hosted by WACO Founders and Co-Artistic Directors Richard Lawson and Tina Knowles Lawson, longtime champions of art and mentorship, who opened the visual and perform ing arts center in 2017.
The evening serves as a fundraiser to support WACO’s artistic and youth mentorship programs.
For the celebratory fifth year anniversary gala, the wearable art theme is Step Into Harlem Nights.
This year’s event will transform the 35,000 square foot hangar into an immersive experience bringing Harlem to Los Angeles, recreating the big ballrooms, jazz clubs, speakeasies, iconic restaurants and theaters where artists such as Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald performed.
“I have always had this dream to bring the energy, tastes and sounds of Harlem in the 1920s to 50s to our gala. From the fashion and the food, to the art, cars and supper clubs— on this night, people will be taken back in time to experience and be inspired by it all…today — in 2022,” shares Tina Knowles Lawson.
The event will be hosted by five-time NAACP Image
Award winner Keke Palmer, and feature an all-star lineup, including a special performance by Grammy and Golden Globe Award winner Andra Day as well as a musical tribute by Chloe Bailey and Halle Bailey. The evening will include the return of Los Angeles-based DJ Millie and close with a
McCormick® Teams Up with Keke Palmer To Announce The Winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos’ Song Contest
HUNT VALLEY, Md., PRNewswire -The McCormick Brand is proud to announce that Reginald Lewis Halsey Jr. was selected as the winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos,’ a nationwide song contest that encouraged fans to showcase their love of tacos by creating an original standout jingle. The contest was announced last month by McCormick part ner, actress and singer Keke Palmer, who also participated in judging submissions and surprised Halsey with the news that he won the Grand Prize of $50,000 and a year’s supply of McCormick Origi nal Taco Seasoning. Halsey’s winning jingle is currently featured across the McCor mick social media pages.
“We’re thrilled with the range and qual ity of creative submissions we received that showcased the entrants’ love of tacos through music,’’ said Jill Pratt, Chief Marketing Of ficer for McCormick. “The winning submis sion was synonymous with everything Mc Cormick Original Taco Seasoning represents. It made us smile with its warmth, originality, and ability to bring family together over a flavorful, delicious taco meal.”
Submissions for ‘America’s Got Tacos’ spanned several genres including Power Ballads, Country, Hip Hop, R&B, and Afro Beats. The contest received entries from solo performers, dynamic duos, and some that in tegrated the entire family. Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia were among the states represented within the top 20 submissions.
Across the board, performers brought their creative chops to the table, embodying all of the flavors of McCormick’s Original Taco Seasoning.
Halsey, the winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos’, is a native and current resident of Chesapeake, VA. A long shoreman by trade, Halsey, 38, began devoting more time to his passion for singing and producing music after he was involved in a car accident in 2019, that was supposed to leave him paralyzed. Creating music became a therapeutic outlet that has helped him during the rehabilitation process. A devoted father of three, his song was inspired by his family’s love of ‘Taco Tuesdays’, which can be seen in the video submission. He describes the song as Soul Rock with a Country twist that will make your feet tap while listening to it.
“I’m so honored to have been chosen by McCormick and Keke Palmer as the winner of ‘America’s Got Tacos’,” said Reginald Lewis Halsey Jr. “After reading about the contest, I was instantly inspired to create a unique song that expressed my love for McCormick Original Taco Seasoning and our family’s weekly taco night. McCormick has always been a staple in our household, especially when it comes to spending time with my children, so it was only fitting that they were featured in my video.”
Halsey’s winning jingle will be featured across McCormick’s social media pages, and can be seen at https://mccormick.widen.net/s/ jmhcqcjld7/americas_got_tacos_winner.
