Charlotte girl's speech on race gets standing ovation

\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.

\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.

HEAD of the Roman Catholic Diocese in Jamaica, Archbishop Kenneth Richards, has expressed concern about the absence of religious leaders in Catholic schools across the island, a staple which he says is responsible for the academic excellence and discipline in these schools.

During an interview with the Jamaica Observer, Archbishop Richards revealed that Catholic high schools traditionally led by religious sisters or nuns, and religious brothers, except for Holy Childhood High, no longer have a religious leadership tied to the Catholic Church.

Further, Archbishop Richards said the absence of religious sisters and brothers in Catholic schools has affected the culture, community, values and attitudes of the institutions.

“Part of the discipline that existed in our schools was a spin-off from the Catholic ethos and what the religious sisters, brothers and priests embodied with respect to how they approach engaging the students academically, socially with respect to their development.

Archbishop Richards added: “We are looking at how to use our lay leaders and retired persons — how they can volunteer to become present to help us with presence in our schools to facilitate the kind of engagement that is missing because we do not have the religious sisters again with respect to nurturing those values.

Ryan Destiny, who is best known for her role as Alexandra Crane on the now-canceled Fox television show “Star,” recently sent a message to young Black women in Hollywood.

On Thursday, June 4, Destiny posted a lengthy message on Instagram to encourage young people to speak out against discrimination in the workplace.

Reflecting on a time when she was mistreated on set, she wrote: “This message is to my fellow black sisters in particular… This goes for any career or work space but I’m speaking from my own experience.”

“If you are just now entering Hollywood in any form or plan to… and at some point experience discrimination, appropriation, racism, colorism, microaggression even if sometimes sadly by your own people…speak up for yourself.

Destiny revealed on Twitter that “Glee” star Amber Patrice Riley inspired her to tell her story.
