Happy Kwanzaa
Kwanzaa paves the way for a brighter future! It’s up to all of us to do our part to brighten the way for black organizations to grow and thrive!
So, as we celebrate Kwanzaa and focus on the seven principles, let’s remember to patronize black businesses – seven days a week!
Day 1
Umoja (Unity)
Let’s strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation and race, by encouraging all of our friends and loved ones to support black businesses.
Day 2
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
Let’s define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak up for ourselves to ensure that everyone we know is familiar with the power of black business.
Day 3
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility)
Let’s build and maintain our community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and work to solve them together.
Day 4
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
Let’s build and maintain our own stores, shops and other businesses, using them as a medium to promote growth, and to profit/benefit from them together.
Day 5
Nia (Purpose)
Let’s make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to traditional greatness.
Day 6
Kuumba (Creativity)
Let’s always do as much as we can to encourage our fellow brothers and sisters to support black business, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Day 7
Imani (Faith)
Let’s believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders and the righteousness and victory of our struggle to keep black businesses in the black!
Kwanzaa is a celebration of family, community and culture. During this holiday season, let’s take time to support black businesses and celebrate all that we mean to each other. We will then have a brighter future for us and generations to come!

Recording Artist IRENE MICHAELS Stars @ FIRE AID NYC Presented by FENIX360 to Benefit Creative Visions
Award winning House & EDM Music recording artist Irene Michaels wowed the audience at FIRE AID NYC, a benefit for the LA fire victims presented by FENIX360 via Creative Visions at Chelsea Table & Stage in NYC on January 31, 2025. Adorned in a black, dazzling and salacious design she performed her two award winning hits “I Like Rain” (Best Song of the Year – Josie Awards 2023, Get Out Magazine Awards 2023), and “My Heart” (Best Independent Artist, BroadwayWorld Cabaret Awards 2025).
Irene was a sexy, talented beyond sensation on stage. She enlisted the handsome DJ Peter Striga as her boy toy for “My Heart” and then seduced the audience as she left the stage during the song. Irene has a unique stage presence that is not only joyful, but that actually sparkles. She is eloquent, magnetic, visually striking, daring, passionate, and alluring. Her artistic style and persona is filled with charisma and an energetic aura.
A virtual playground, FENIX360 is a powerful and revolutionary tool that allows today’s creators to have adequate income to live from, it monetizes the artists fan base through advertising and via live streaming, showcasing any type of content from music and videos to photos and social media posts. It manages all other social media, and it helps build the artists on marketplace for merchandise, tickets, and collectibles while offering the creators a unique opportunity to actually get their craft out there to the wider world. The artist will be able to build their own customized app in minutes that allows fans to go effortlessly from a video to an entire universe.
Their Mission: “Despite there being tons of millions of artists worldwide, only a small number of them make a decent living from their craft.
