Meet the 2019 Miss BC contestants: Brooklyn S. of West Kelowna - Chilliwack Progress Posted: 21 Jun 2019 09:45 AM PDT Black Press Media is a proud partner of the Miss BC pageants, with this year's event taking place June 29 – July 1 in Fort Langley. We are posting contestants' biographies online for readers to learn more about the women and girls from their communities. Submitted by Brooklyn S. of West Kelowna: I'm different from the stereotypical pageant girl because I know pageants aren't just about gowns and makeup, they are about etiquette and grace. I love to learn new things to better myself and I just want to be the best version of myself that I can be! Being different from everyone else can be hard in today's society. I was bullied in school, but I never let that define me. I always held my head up high and always stayed positive. I had to learn to just not care what anyone had to say about me. Joining the Miss BC pageant has already given me that extra step of confidence! After just retiring from being a West Kelowna Ambassador, I know that I would love to continue being a leader and representing amazing cities here in B.C.!

After blacks kicked off juries, Mississippi death row inmate wins at Supreme Court - ABC News Posted: 21 Jun 2019 10:26 AM PDT In a remarkable case, the Supreme Court on Friday threw out the murder conviction of a Mississippi man on death row who had alleged deep-seated racial bias in jury selection cost him a fair trial. Curtis Flowers has already been tried an extraordinary six times, after prosecutors' first five attempts to convict him failed due to prosecutorial misconduct, allegations of racism and deadlocked juries. For the past 22 years, Flowers has been adamant about his innocence. The court's decision now sets the stage for an unprecedented potential seventh trial. Writing for the court's 7-2 majority, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said "all of the relevant and facts circumstances taken together establish that the trial court committed clear error" in ruling that the elimination of a black prospective juror in the sixth trial was "not motivated in substantial part by discriminatory intent." Kavanaugh said the unusual history of the case; the prosecutor's documented effort to keep black people off the juries; and, "dramatically disparate questioning of black and white prospective jurors" all pointed to discrimination. "The Constitution forbids striking even a single prospective juror for a discriminatory purpose," Kavanaugh said. "The state's relentless, determined effort to rid the jury of black individuals strongly suggests that the state wanted to try Flowers before a jury with as few black jurors as possible, and ideally before an all-white jury. The trial judge was aware of the history. But the judge did not sufficiently account for the history," he said. Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented. For decades, prosecutors and defendants have been able to shape the makeup of a jury in criminal cases by employing so-called "peremptory challenges" during the selection process. The tool allows each side to eliminate a number of prospective jurors from the pool for any reason or no reason at all. Rationales, commonly cited, can include a juror's family upbringing, his or her demeanor or even posture in the courtroom. Advocates say the practice ensures balance and fairness by allowing input from both sides. Critics say it poses a threat to the constitutional guarantee of an impartial jury if not closely scrutinized. While lawyers have broad discretion, the Supreme Court has banned peremptory challenges used solely on the basis of race, ethnicity or sex. If concerns are raised by one side, the court has said, opposing lawyers must provide a legitimate non-discriminatory explanation for striking a juror. Kavanaugh made clear the case breaks "no new legal ground" but rather enforces existing precedent. Flowers, who is African-American, was first convicted in 1997 for the 1996 execution-style murders of four people at a furniture store where he used to work. He had no criminal record at the time of his arrest. Prosecutors never found a murder weapon or any physical evidence tying him to the scene. There were no witnesses. In 2010, during his most recent trial, a jury of 11 white jurors and one black juror convicted him and sentenced him to death. "Today's decision distorts the record of this case, eviscerates our standard of review, and vacates four murder convictions because the state struck a juror who would have been stricken by any competent attorney," Justice Thomas wrote in opposition to the ruling. Justice Gorsuch noted that the state of Mississippi is "perfectly free to convict Curtis Flowers again." "Although the court's opinion might boost its self-esteem, it also needlessly prolongs the suffering of four victims' families," he wrote. Flowers' attorney Sheri Lynn Johnson called the decision a "victory for everyone" and urged the state of Mississippi to let the case go. "That Mr. Flowers has already endured six trials and more than two decades on death row is a travesty," Johnson said in a statement. "A seventh trial would be unprecedented, and completely unwarranted given both the flimsiness of the evidence against him and the long trail of misconduct that has kept him wrongfully incarcerated all these years." District Attorney Doug Evans had no comment on the Supreme Court decision when his office was reached by ABC News. |
Posted: 08 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT "Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Erica Dixon left fans with a few unanswered questions after posting a recent selfie The television personality apparently wanted to show off her seemingly slimmer face after being nearly four weeks post-pregnant. She took to her Instagram on May 28 and shared an up-close snapshot of herself to fans. She wrote in her photo caption, "Slim goody……" ![]() The image closed in on Dixon's box braids and simple makeup look. She sported a cranberry eyeshadow, nude lip and a seemingly light coverage foundation. However, fans pointed out that something was off about the celeb's appearance, claiming that her supposed makeup artist missed the center of her face. "It looks like whomever did your makeup missed a whole spot on your face sis," one fan commented. Another chimed in, "I was thinking the same thing like who messed up her nose contour 🤔." Someone else wrote, "Is it me or do it look like a rectangle f makeup is missing on her face 👀." Others quickly denounced critics and swarmed to Dixon's defense. "I didn't even notice that and still don't 🤔 something tells me there's motives behind your comments and ya'll coming off as haters 🤷🏽.' "It's clearly the lighting hitting her face it would be hard for someone to miss a big spot in her face. Ya'll find anything negative to say 🙄." Dixon never addressed the crude remarks, but she did make reference to other big news. The reality star told fans earlier last month that she was forced to leave one of her baby girls in the hospital for unknown reasons after giving birth to her identical twins. "Today was one of the most difficult days of my life," she wrote then, along with posting a photo of her pregnancy shoot. "I have been blessed with two beautiful baby girls but to have to leave them just tore me apart. 🙏🏽 Praying they can come home sooner than later. I'm missing them so much already." ![]() She revealed a week later on Instagram that one of her daughters finally was able to come home. "This little angel is home. Now we're awaiting her sister to swiftly progress so she can join us ❤️." By last week, Dixon provided an update to fans on her twins, confirming that both children were home. A follower asked Dixon underneath her beauty post if the "other baby" was "home yet?" Dixon replied in the comments, "She's good and home." |
Helping Plateau, Washington Princesses go to the ball - Enumclaw Courier-Herald Posted: 21 Jun 2019 09:15 AM PDT Editor's note: The "Community Consciousness" focus page will run in the third issue of every month. If you would like to suggest a nonprofit or individual serving the community to focus on, email rstill@courierherald.com. For many, prom is a quintessential part of high school — the dresses and suits, the dinner before and the party after, the limo and photographs with friends and family all blended together in one mythical night that students have spent months, if not years, looking forward to. But for others, the entire experience can just be another painful reminder of the economic privilege they lack. That's why Bonney Lake-resident Amanda Lawson and Wilkesonian Nicole McCoy became business partners and started the Princess Project of Washington, providing dresses and accessories not just for teenagers to be equipped for the No. 1 dance of the year, but women of all ages for every sort of event. Both women were running a Facebook page in 2015, pairing up visitors with various needs or looking for specific items with people willing to provide either, when a request came down the line for some prom dresses. This sparked some memories for them. "Both of us didn't have the ability to go to prom ourselves. We didn't have the extra money, and there weren't programs out there that can help us with that," Lawson said in a phone interview. "We just feel it's important for these girls to really have that moment that they can feel beautiful and have those extra things." They kept working as a grassroots organization until they partnered with the Lakewood-based Exceptional Families Network, which allowed them to secure their nonprofit status in 2018. Since April of that year, Lawson and McCoy have paired more than 100 girls and women with dresses for their various events. Even though the Princess Project of Washington focuses on the Plateau area, including Orting, Lawson, McCoy, and a core group of about two dozen volunteers and supporters go as far west as Ocean Shores and as far north as Everett to collect donations and host events. In addition to the Exceptional Families Network, other organizations like Sumner-based Enchanted Bridals, the Bonney Lake Lions, Just Between Friends in the Monroe/Everett area, Brides for a Cause in Tacoma and Seattle, Adorned in Grace in Lakewood, God's Closet near Chehalis, and Renton's Classic Cleaners all aid the Princess Project of Washington in their mission. "We do a lot of driving, picking up dresses," Lawson said. In order to find a dress with The Princess Project of Washington, you can visit www.princessprojectwa.com to fill out a survey that includes contact, event, and sizing information. Once that is complete, Lawson and McCoy open up their Orting location at the Students Success Center (215 Whitesell St. NW) on Sundays for fittings at various times. Because Orting can be hard for some people to get to, the duo also host what they call Dress Closets in other communities, where "we just pull out all the dresses and let the girls come at scheduled times and pick dresses," Lawson said, adding these tend to be more centered around prom. But they've also helped women find dresses, shoes, jewelry, purses, and even makeup for other events like weddings, funerals, and military and police balls. "We have dresses for any occasion," Lawson continued. For more information on events and drop-off locations around the state, go to the Princess Project of Washington Facebook page. PRINCESSES AT THE PAGEANT The Exceptional Families Network is a 15-year-old nonprofit that strives to help families who have children with special needs, from helping them find local resources for diagnosis or management to helping parents learn how to advocate for Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for their kids in school. As part of their partnership with the Exceptional Families Network, The Princess Project of Washington uses some of their dresses every year for the Miss Exceptional Pageant, a statewide pageant for girls and women of almost all ages who have special needs, including — but certainly not limited to — Aspergers and autism. "The whole point of the program is to help them gain confidence and have a lot of self-esteem," said Sami Schubert, founder and co-director of the nonprofit pageant. "Typically, girls in school are bullied far more if they have a disability, and Miss Exceptional was created to help them gain confidence. And when they get that dress from Amanda and Nicole… and they put it on, I've heard girls say, 'I feel just like Belle,' [or] 'I feel just like Cinderella.'" Schubert herself is familiar with pageants, as she will be competing for the title of Miss Washington on June 29. While she will not be wearing a Princess Project-provided dress at the pageant, Schubert and her peers donate the clothes they wear to Lawson and McCoy so "other girls have the same opportunity to feel the way we felt in our evening gowns," she continued. The Miss Exception Pageant is not a beauty competition — makeup is completely optional, as is wearing fancy clothes and shoes. "We ask our judges to evaluate based on confidence and personality," the nonprofit's website reads, adding that judges are not informed of a participant's disability. And while many attendees are verbal and have a chance to be interviewed by Schubert on stage and speak to judges, non-verbal contestants are able to use video or another medium to showcase their character. A new Exceptional Gentleman pageant has also started as of this year, in order to help boys and young men gain confidence as well. For more information, visit www.missexceptional.org/. |
