Bekha Bon.’s new book Juventud Incauta, a poignant recounting of a woman thrust into a life of crime and incarceration at a very young age

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Juventud Incauta was created by Bekha Bon. Bekha is an author who was born in Havana, Cuba.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book Juventud Incauta was created by Bekha Bon. Bekha is an author who was born in Havana, Cuba. After having lived both positive and negative experiences, she decided to put them at the service of humanity, hoping that her trajectory could serve others.

Bekha Bon. said this about his book: «These pages bring together the heartbreaking story of a young Spanish woman named Rosario who, at only nineteen years old, was dragged by organized crime in Bolivia into an abyss of hardship within the different prisons in which she served her sentence on North American soil. This fact placed Bekha Bon in the citizen’s commitment to narrate a chronicle that speaks of the imminent danger faced by many of the young people—those who, attracted by the adventure they imagine they will find and the prosperity they dream of, end up entangled in twisted networks that crime professionals constantly weave; those who daily reinvent new ways and means with the sole purpose of transporting their cargo to US soil. Unconscionable efforts, which end up turning our boys into ‘blind pack mules,’ usually end up paying for a crime they did not actually commit.

The story is not a simple story; it is the only way that she found to reach people—a truth that many do not want to talk about. Using this event as a vehicle, she exposes the harsh reality of those who, when caught, end up being victims of this growing scourge.

The book is aimed at young people eager for adventure—those who fear nothing—to whom their unconsciousness and folly can become their worst enemies. However, the plot presented in this story will arouse the interest of any reader regardless of age, gender, or literary preferences.»

Published by Page Publishing, Bekha Bon.’s new book Juventud Incauta follows the harrowing life of a young woman who only knew the toils of crime and bondage—a riveting depiction of real-life circumstances of people stained by corruption.

Consumers who wish to view a person’s journey from grace to downfall that greatly affected her life can purchase Juventud Incauta online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Toyota Racing Premieres ‘The Dream’

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As NASCAR  kicked off one of the biggest days of the season with the running of the 63rd Daytona 500, Toyota took a moment to encourage the youth of America to find their dream and pursue it.

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida, Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As NASCAR  kicked off one of the biggest days of the season with the running of the 63rd Daytona 500, Toyota took a moment to encourage the youth of America to find their dream and pursue it.

Toyota Racing unveils a short film entitled, ‘The Dream.’

Yesterday, Toyota Racing unveiled a short film entitled, ‘The Dream.’ It tells a story of a young, African-American girl looking to achieve her dream of becoming a race car driver. She battles back from adversity and overcomes challenges along the way. With inspiration from the historic victory by 19-year old Gracie Trotter, who became the first female driver to win an ARCA-sanctioned race in September, and the return of Bubba Wallace to the Toyota family, our star realizes that her dream is within reach.

«To be back with Toyota this season and be a part of the Toyota Racing family means a lot to me,» said Bubba Wallace, driver of the No. 23 DoorDash Toyota Camry for 23XI Racing. «What they do on the track is top notch, but it goes beyond the track too. It’s really cool to be a part of things like ‘The Dream’ and their initiatives off the track that align with my own beliefs and how I want to influence the next generation. ‘The Dream’ show others, no matter the circumstances or who you are, to keep fighting and follow your dreams. It may not always be easy, but it will be worth it. It’s a pretty special piece. It’s inspiring, emotional and something that I’m proud to be a part of.»

Toyota has a long history of diversity in motorsports and continues to support several drivers of various ethnicities across all of our motorsports platforms. J.R. Todd, Antron Brown and Alexis DeJoria have established many firsts in motorsports as they all compete for Toyota in the NHRA Drag Racing Series. Jhonnattan Castro and Ken Gushi compete in Formula DRIFT while Trotter and Kaylee Bryson are working their way through the TRD (Toyota Racing Development) driver development ranks in ARCA, late models and USAC racing events.

«Toyota’s commitment to diversity in motorsports aligns with our overall corporate commitment of respect for people,» said Paul Doleshal, group manager of motorsports and assets for Toyota Motor North America. «This film is something we’re all extremely proud of and is a small reminder for everyone to find their dream and pursue it regardless of the challenges that might be in their path. We will continue to look for ways to bring this film to life and help to encourage young people to pursue their passions, especially if that leads them to this great world of motorsports.»

The complete short film was produced in collaboration with whatnot Films out of Charlotte, N.C. and will reside on the Toyota Racing social channels of Twitter and Facebook along with YouTube. A special 60-second condensed version was featured on Fox during the Daytona 500 broadcast.

A link to the full film can be found here: https://youtu.be/wI_QIPRkBBs

Bido Announces New Hip Hop EP, Narcotics, Out via The Orchard (Sony Music Entertainment)

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla., Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bido Announces New Hip Hop EP, Narcotics, Out via The Orchard (Sony Music Entertainment). Benjamin Bido, aka Bido, is a bit of an anomaly.

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla., Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bido Announces New Hip Hop EP, Narcotics, Out via The Orchard (Sony Music Entertainment). Benjamin Bido, aka Bido, is a bit of an anomaly.

The 18-year-old-South Florida-whiz-kid has been furiously writing and making beats since the tender age of seven. According to him, he had no choice in the matter. Creating is just something he does, always. Bido’s compulsive work ethic recently paid off when Sony subsidiary, The Orchard, tracked him down to team up. The distribution-focused outfit is not playing games, having catapulted numerous indie artists into the mainstream: T-Pain, 21 Savage, BTS and Flipp Dinero to humbly name a few.

Possessed by hip-hop at an unusually young age, Bido took it upon himself to master the art of making beats. He now wears all musical hats with authority. He writes, produces, engineers and markets his brand (Bidoway Inc.) on a shockingly pro-level. Nowadays, every young rapper wants/needs to be their own producer. Unfortunately, that’s given way to an onslaught of marginal rappers, whom often rely on style over substance. Bido’s got swag for days, but there’s a self-deprecating-arrogance to his writing that makes him wholly singular. His cerebral depth, lyrically, is undeniable.

Upon one listen to Bido’s most recent dark-adventure, Narcotics, you’ll quickly find that his wordplay is refined, cavernous and way beyond his years. In a world where most youngins are flexing financially, Bido has little to no time for that. No track on the EP goes beyond the 2:41-minute-mark. Bido goes in hard and gets out quick. He won’t waste your time, nor can his time be wasted. 

On the EP’s single, aptly dubbed, «Narcotics,» Bido’s bars are so masterful, that it’s easy to overlook his singing voice. His vocal dexterity and attack merges elements of Reggeaton, Dancehall, and futuristic trap. He strikes hard and fast, but always softens the blow with his nimble singing approach. It’s a mind-bending listening experience. Now enter the production (mostly done by Bido himself). Picture chucking Frank Sinatra’s old bones, R&B, Merengue, Salsa, Bachata, Hip-Hop and Billie Eilish into a crock-pot and letting it simmer on low. The melodies are cinematic, romantic and haunting, yet all grounded perfectly by Bido’s keen choice in rugged beats.

On the track «Narcotics,» Bido proclaims that mental health comes first; money and fame, second. He’s fully aware that success starts within oneself. That said, he remains cautiously ambitious.  

LISTEN TO NEW SINGLE HERE: «NARCOTICS»  https://orcd.co/bido-narcotics-single 

LISTEN TO NEW EP HERE: NARCOTICS  https://orcd.co/bido-narcotics

About BIDO

Multifaceted South Florida-based artist, Bido, is a concoction of conventional hip-hop paired with a contemporary trap flair. His fully audible and engaging productions are paired with transparent, believable coming of age subject-matters, quickly moving from moments in the sun to harrowing inner-thoughts pertaining to survival. Armed with an unshakable self-drive, Bido is poised to lead the Gen-Z era of hip-hop and experimental trap.

Rubert Jose Figueredo Michelangelli’s new book «Volver a empezar» shares a migrant’s challenging years of pursuing success

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — How many times have we had to start the journey towards obtaining a goal again because things did not go as planned?

BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — How many times have we had to start the journey towards obtaining a goal again because things did not go as planned?

Our life is full of plans, but we must always keep in mind that the route is very changeable, and that unexpected reversal of the rudder in the trajectory, reengineering of personal projects and in general, trying to get up before a fall, on many occasions can wear us out and weaken us as a person, because it involves facing resistance to the unknown, letting go of attachments and even winning the battle against stress or depression.

This work is the experience of a Venezuelan migrant who has to leave his loved ones, goods, and temporarily withdraw from the exercise of his profession as an engineer-businessman, to dedicate himself to various trades such as cleaner, kitchen assistant, food delivery person and sports coach in a first world country like the USA.

The idea is not to try to describe a manual on how to carry out a successful migration, but rather to show through stories the strategies that the author used to face the obstacles that were presented to him on a playing field with different rules. So, if you suffered the breakdown of a love relationship, this book is for you! If you are grieving for having lost your job, this book is for you! If sadness invades your soul for having failed a subject in your university, this book is for you! Any situation that distresses you for not having obtained the expected results preserves the essence of what is exposed here. We are in this together and surrendering is not an option, take these anecdotes as examples that even when they called us the third strike we will always have a next at-bat, if they gave us a knock out, life will give us revenge, in short, there will always be the opportunity to optimistically write the beginning of a new chapter that will be titled: Start Over.

Published by Page Publishing, Rubert Jose Figueredo Michelangelli’s compelling tale is shared to inspire many people who find themselves in similar situations. Being a migrant is not easy and in this manuscript, readers will witness how one was able to overcome the challenges and the several low moments in life.

Readers who wish to experience this profound work can purchase «Volver a empezar» online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Impact of COVID-19 Vaccines On Event Promotion by Businessman Ismail Sirdah

DULUTH, Ga., Feb. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The global pandemic has been hard on the hospitality industry and event promoters but now that Pharmacies such as CVS and Walgreens are now offering COVID-19 vaccines, the future of events and promoters is beginning to look positively different, says Ismail Sirdah.

Traditionally, the greater Atlanta area has hosted some of the finest live music events in the Southeastern United States and will keep doing it as usual now that the COVID-19 vaccines have been publicly released.

The State of Live Music
In August 2020, NPR noted that live music «currently sits, like so many, on the brink of catastrophe.»

Dedicated musicians and organizers work around the challenges using virtual tools to deliver music to the masses and squeeze in meager wages to stay in business. Others temporarily change careers to pay the bills and hope to return to their «calling» once the COVID-19 threat has passed.

But the big question remains, «Will concerts and live events ever be the same?» Economists and industry experts disagree. As vaccines trickle into local communities, the immediate future of live music remains to be seen, notes Ismail Sirdah.

Music and Social Media

That said, listeners depend greatly on musical artists to cope with the current crisis. Media streaming is up significantly, especially with the proliferation of 5G mobile data.

Many musicians have turned to social media, acting as influencers to bring joy to fans and monetize their talents, says Ismail Sirdah.

Ismail Sirdah on Supporting Artists and Live Music in 2021

As North America emerges from this pandemic, listeners are likely to flock to live concerts once again. The «pent up demand» is very high, even though media streaming has provided much-needed emotional relief for the greater population.

But struggling artists will need the support from fans more than ever. Event planners like Ismail Sirdah will need to think carefully about how to make concerts sustainable in 2021. So on his support to artist he is promoting Grupo Firme a Mexican band playing in Nash Farm, Hampton GA.

IRVINE, California, Feb. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Two of Kia’s newest and most popular models, the K5 midsize sedan and the Sorento SUV, have been named among the «Best New Cars for 2021» by Autotrader, marking the latest industry awards for Kia’s world-class model lineup.

Kia K5 Midsize Sedan and Sorento SUV Named Among the "Best New Cars for 2021" by Autotrader

«Having two all-new models, the K5 midsize sedan and the Sorento SUV, included among Autotrader’s ‘Best New Cars for 2021’ is a testament to Kia’s commitment to design, quality, and the ownership experience,» said Sean Yoon, president, Kia Motors North America & Kia Motors America. «This latest recognition of the Kia brand shows that our dedicated philosophy of building sporty sedans and capable SUVs is resonating with customers and the experts at Autotrader.»

Autotrader praised the K5 for its head-turning exterior and a roomy, high-tech interior. In addition, the K5’s high-end options, sharp handling, and fresh new look are cited as reasons the sporty midsize sedan was so appealing. Autotrader also noted its eye-catching design, especially in GT trim, rivaled that of some German sport sedan makers.

The 2021 Sorento was noted for its ability to transform from budget-friendly SUV to a near-luxury SUV with only a few options and it was praised for its handling characteristics, particularly in the rugged X-Line trim. Comparing the all-new Sorento to the award-winning Telluride, Autotrader noted Kia has captured the spirit of its wildly popular midsize SUV in a smaller and nimbler package.   

The Autotrader Best New Cars Award is intended to benefit a broad set of shoppers by highlighting a diverse group of 12 vehicles. Each vehicle on this year’s list was agreed upon unanimously by the entire editorial and data team at Autotrader. To be considered, a vehicle must be of the current or next model-year and available for purchase at the time of the announcement. The editors capped the base price for consideration at $75,000, meaning every contender offers a significant value for the asking price. Not only is value a top priority, but vehicles are also judged on available technology and a rewarding or dynamic driving experience. Each winning vehicle must earn a score of 4.0 or higher on the editors’ 5-point evaluation scorecard to be named a 2021 Autotrader Best New Car.
