Turlock, CA (July 29, 2020) – With the postponement of the Stanislaus County Fair, the empowHER Lounge will be holding a FREE virtual rally on Saturday, August 8th starting at 10 a.m.
The empowHER Virtual Lounge has partnered Women’s Education and Leadership League (WELL), Studio V, and Signe Darpirian to bring wellness, finances and mental health in the forefront of things to discuss. The empowHER Lounge is dedicated to inspiring young women to not only empower themselves, but also those around them by cultivating empowerment and confidence in young women.
“With the recent pandemic among us, many of us need various resources to turn to, especially on the topic of mental health,” said Adrenna Alkhas, spokesperson for the Stanislaus County Fair. “The virtual lounge topics we have chosen are topics that many of us are struggling with. This virtual lounge is for all, not just women, we want to be inclusive for all.”
Alkhas created the lounge with the mentality of teaching young women how to support and nurture one another instead of subduing to the female norm of consistently competing and comparing. Setting such a tone will undeniably yield successful leaders of the future. Through informative and interactive workshops, the empowHER Virtual Lounge will be able to support this goal.
“Although many Fairs are postponed, we still want to be relevant in education as much as possible for our community and this is another avenue,” said Alkhas.
Guests who sign up through the Fair’s website for the virtual lounge will receive giveaways after attending the sessions.
Topics and times are as follow:
- Girl, Get off your couch – 10 a.m.

In Nashville, before anyone ever referred to the southern end of Broadway as SoBro, the Hillsboro Village neighborhood boasted Sunset Grill, a restaurant that during the 1990s proved as integral to Nashville recorded music as other metropolitan eateries that over the years became legendary hubs for creative businesses in New York and Los Angeles. It was a sprawling and long-lunchy and late-dinnerish breadbaskets-and-virgin-olive-oil thing.

THE YEAR WAS 1969…
In 1991 a group of 4 young street hardened boys by the name of B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e used their musical talents to obtain one way bus tickets to make their way out from the rough city of Cleveland, Ohio. They headed out to Los Angeles and were determined to perform for the top record labels at the time. They constantly called in to prove themselves. Their efforts paid off when they rapped over the phone to legendary N.W.A. member, Eazy E, who owned Ruthless Records. They displayed their melodic rapid fire lyrics with group harmony.
Everything continues to change. Leaders cycle in and out of office. Trends fall in and out of style. Vinyl dies and comes back to life. Television shows go off the air and end up somewhere on the internet.
Dedicating nearly his entire life to music and achieving superstardom when he was just 17, Sean Kingston has amassed an untold amount of experience as a singer/songwriter over the years. On his third-full length album Back 2 Life, the 23-year-old builds on that experience by greatly expanding his songwriting role, nixing the multi-producer approach of his last release, and pushing for a fresh new sound. Like his 2007 self-titled debut (featuring the double-platinum breakout hit “Beautiful Girls”) and sophomore album Tomorrow (featuring the smash singles “Fire Burning” and “Face Drop”), Back 2 Life fuses reggae, hip-hop, R&B, and electro to create melody-soaked pop. But on Back 2 Life, the singer/songwriter blends his newly strengthened vocals with fiercely inventive effects and hard-hitting live instrumentation—a formula that’s yielded his most passionately inspired work to date.
2022 is upon us. Another fresh new reset of the month odometer!
