More than just the familiar face from Netflix's international hit Bling, Empire and now the #1 streamed show, The Traitors on Peacock, Kevin Kreider has a remarkable story to share. Born in Seoul, South Korea and adopted at the age of three to a German/Irish family in Philadelphia, he grew up with a loving family. But he soon found out that the outside world was not as caring. By the time he was in kindergarten, Kevin was bullied, beaten up and made fun of for being Asian. That continued through the years and he began to believe the hateful things others were telling him: Asian men were not as attractive. They were effeminate, skinny and weak.

Called one of 2024's most anticipated movies by IMDb, Mean Girls is set to release this weekend, 20 years after the original became a box office hit in 2004. Based on Rosalind Wiseman's New York Times Bestseller, Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and the New Realities of Girl World, the movie—also an award-winning Broadway musical—has become more than just a cultural phenomenon. It artfully brings to life the intricate dynamics and complexities of the ever-changing landscape of adolescence.

Juneteenth (short for June 19th) marks the day in 1865 when enslaved African Americans throughout Texas learned that they were free—news that took approximately two months after the Confederate surrender of the Civil War and two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation to reach them.  As our nation recognizes the legacy of Juneteenth during a time of heightened consciousness over pervasive racism and persecution in our nation, we urge everyone to continue to do their part in igniting change.
