Univision New York’s Post

Today is Juneteenth, an impactful day across North America for reflection, remembrance and celebration. From science, business and law, to sport, art and entertainment, Black communities have always and continue to make significant contributions to the fabric of our continent. For the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles, supporting links between Black communities across our continent is a priority. Two of our major programs include: The Black Music Managers program, within the Canadian Creative Accelerator (CCA) – Trade commissioners from our consulates in Los Angeles and New York joined forces to create the Black Musing Managers program in collaboration with Breaking Down Racial Barriers to build capacity and to facilitate introductions to the principal actors in the industry, paving the way for partnerships between Canadians and Americans. The Black Tech Express program, which supports Canadian startups founded or led by Black Canadians seeking venture capital in Southern California. The startup accelerator is focused on Los Angeles, offering high-intensity services to high-growth tech companies led by Black entrepreneurs interested in expansion, capital and commercial opportunities in Southern California and beyond.

Here are the 2024 Grammy winners and nominees

Last night's Grammy triumph for Killer Mike at the age of 48 serves as a profound testament to the enduring nature of artistic brilliance. For those less familiar with his work, Killer Mike emerged from the influential legacy of OutKast, particularly the creative minds of Andre 3000 and Big Boi. Their music, a cultural cornerstone, resonates with many, and Killer Mike's success stands as a living testament to the transformative power of musical heritage. In a world often fixated on youth-centric narratives, Killer Mike's journey is a powerful reminder that the pursuit of dreams transcends age. It's easy to succumb to the notion that there's an expiration date on aspirations, particularly in industries driven by trends. However, the reality is quite the opposite. True success often unfolds on its unique timeline, shaped by dedication, authenticity, and an unwavering commitment to one's craft. As we navigate the passages of life, it's crucial to recognize that age is not a barrier but a mosaic of experiences, lessons, and opportunities. Embracing personal growth and creative evolution allows us to tap into reservoirs of wisdom and resilience that become invaluable assets on our journey. Killer Mike's late-career Grammy wins are a living proof that our trajectories can flourish and take unexpected turns, defying societal norms. So, whether you're an aspiring artist, entrepreneur, or pursuing any dream, remember that your journey is uniquely yours. Your potential knows no age limit, and each step forward is a testament to your individuality. Stay true to yourself, draw inspiration from your experiences, and recognize that it's never too late to chase your dreams. In a world constantly changing, your authenticity is the constant that propels you forward. #AgelessDreams #LegacyInTheMaking

I tuned in to the recent Grammy Awards (as I do every year, being an avid music lover) and found myself captivated by Miley Cyrus' acceptance speech. when she won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year for her song, 'Flowers' 💐 I believe it's an important reminder that while it's wonderful to feel excitement about success, receiving awards, or achieving milestones, we should not allow these external factors to define us. Despite her genuine joy at receiving her first Grammy (which, in my opinion, was long overdue) and the prestigious Record of the Year accolade, Miley emphasized that her life was already amazing before this recognition. Her message stands in contrast to the mainstream definition of success. I admire how she emphasizes the importance of self-definition and resisting the pressure to conform to societal standards of success. It's not always easy, particularly here on LinkedIn where achievements are often celebrated (deservedly, of course!), but might lead us to feel inadequate if we don't measure up after reading them. However, it's crucial to remember that despite external pressures, we can still lead fulfilling lives and cultivate gratitude. Don't get me wrong, we should still strive for excellence and pursue our aspirations, but it's equally important to remind ourselves that we are worthy of self-care and self-love. Live life to the fullest and pursue your passions. Remember, your success is defined by your own terms, not by external validations. You can buy yourself flowers, you can take yourself dancing, hold your own hand, and you can love you better than anyone can 🌸🌹🕺🏼🌻🌼 #GrammyAwards #SuccessMindset #SelfLove #Gratitude #LiveAuthentically

What Can We Learn From Taylor Swift's Record-Breaking Grammy? As most of us heard, Taylor Swift broke the record as the first artist to win 4 Grammys for Album of the Year, quite an accomplishment, especially at age 34! In her acceptance speech, she said she’d love to say that this was the best moment in her life, but she feels this happy when she finishes a song, cracks the code on a bridge (a transition that builds tension in a song) she loves, or when she’s rehearsing with her dancers or band. To Taylor, the award is the work. Fame and glory aside, I was struck by Taylor’s passion for her work, her appreciation for the many moments of joy in her life, and her ability to be aware and present in everyday life. So I asked myself, where in my life is the award the work itself? I landed on my resilience workshops – A Shot of Resilience, An Extra Dose of Resilience, and Always Resilient. I love when a group member tries a new strategy, looks at a challenge in a different way, is energized by a new insight, or gets “unstuck.” Or, when other group members share how they managed a similar challenge, what worked for them, and magically, it all comes together and makes a huge difference. Truth be told, it's the cherry on top and feels great when a group member sends me a note of thanks or shares how they love being part of our “tribe.” But the bottom line is whether I helped them take a step forward, that’s what it’s all about for me. Where in your life is the reward the work? Comment below - I’d love to hear from you! I may not have a Grammy for you, but what you’ve got is even better! Taylor would agree. “The reward for work well-done is the opportunity to do more.” - Jonas Salk https://lnkd.in/gMvE793p #CoachingForResilience #Resilience #Reward #HardWork #Motivation
