Breaking Barriers In Women’s And Children’s Health And Wellness: 28 App And Healthy Hip-Hop

28

Nowadays, many women are bidding farewell to hormonal birth control, discovering their cycles and bodies like never before. As a result, for the first time, millions of women know how their hormones affect everything from mental health to weight, skin, and menstruation. Yet, for many years, women were left in the dark, and healthcare professionals dismissed their concerns, claiming it was all “in their head.” Fortunately, the 28 app and FemTech companies are changing the narrative and prioritizing women’s health. By educating women on how to optimize their physical and mental wellness, they’re opening up new avenues for a healthier lifestyle.

28 app is changing women’s healthcare by providing a tech-driven and customer-focused platform focusing on cycle tracking, fertility benefits, and personalized hormone health education. Through this app, women can unlock new opportunities to enhance their health and wellness, which have been limited until now.

By scientifically curating fitness routines and nutrition profiles based on each user’s natural cycle, 28 empowers women to heal and strengthen their minds, body, and spirit. Moreover, these health suggestions correspond to the user’s current emotional state, lifestyle, and relationships, ensuring a holistic approach to wellness.

Embracing Women’s Bodies With Love And Courage.

But 28’s story stretches beyond personalized health solutions.

It is a story of love, courage, and perseverance. The company’s team embraced women’s natural cycles and bodies and cared for them with the love and respect they deserved. In addition, they had the courage to ask unpopular questions, challenge the status quo, and create a solution that didn’t wait for society’s permission.

And their journey didn’t stop there.

Empowering Women’s Hormonal Health: The Journey Of 28’s Innovative Movement

With perseverance, the company’s team created a platform that empowers women (and men) worldwide to experience healing, harmony, beauty, and strength. This path is inside us all, and our cycles hold the key. A few years ago, they set out on this journey, and now, they continue to inspire women to lead a healthy and balanced lifestyle with their innovative approach.

You may think that 28 is just an app, but it isn’t. It represents a powerful movement empowering women to take control of their hormonal health and well-being. The company’s mission is to provide women with accurate information and eliminate the stigma surrounding menstruation. The idea for the platform emerged as a response to the fitness industry’s male-centric approach that fails to consider the menstrual cycle.

The founder of 28, Brittany Hugoboom, claims that women deserve more than just a period tracker. Recently, the company established its headquarters in Miami, where it will continue to promote women’s health and wellness.

Unleash Your Child’s Potential with Healthy Hip Hop – The Revolutionary App Promoting Well-being!

After realizing the amazing advantages of the 28 app from FemTech, let’s shift our focus to an application that emphasizes empowering children. Healthy Hip Hop is specifically designed to promote the well-being of kids.

The CEO and founder of this amazing app, Roy Scott, has always been heavily influenced by hip-hop culture. He even chose to become a rapper instead of pursuing a promising basketball career after high school. It wasn’t until one day, he picked up his four-year-old son, Justus, from school and heard him singing along to explicit lyrics from his music that Roy realized the negative impact his music could have on children.

That’s when Roy knew that he needed to make a drastic change. And thus, Healthy Hip Hop was born! With this app, Roy is on a mission to inspire children to lead a healthy and active lifestyle through the power of hip-hop. So why not join the movement and give your children the gift of health and wellness?

“Everything changed for me when I pick up my son from school, when I see him repeat my music, as we know, music promoter, drugs, violence, etc. I just knew at that point of my light bulb moment, I reflected on how impactful music, specifically hip hop music and culture, was on me. I knew I couldn’t be this influence on anybody else,” he explained.

The Positive Alternative For Children’s Mental And Physical Health And Empowerment

Healthy Hip Hop is more than just an app; it’s a positive alternative that uplifts young people by promoting their mental and physical health, academic achievement, and personal empowerment. Using hip-hop music’s power, this platform offers a kid-friendly approach that’s both educational and entertaining.

Initially started as a website, Healthy Hip Hop blends hip-hop music production and songwriting with concepts that inspire and teach children healthy habits.

The app features animated characters, like Smith’s PJ Panda, that rap and sings about important topics like using the potty, sticking to a healthy diet, and practicing positive thoughts. And the best part? The music is excellent for both kids and parents alike!

With music created by Wes Smith, Roy’s partner, Healthy Hip Hop is an innovative and fun way for children to learn about health and wellness.

The Transformation From Rap To Tech, Gaining Support From Google And Techstars

Scott teamed up with Smith and turned Healthy Hip Hop into a tech company. As a result, the venture has gained significant support from Google for Startups & Techstars. In addition, they raised funds using Republic, an equity-based platform that separates itself from other fundraising sites like Kickstarter and GoFundMe.com.

As Healthy Hip Hop continues to evolve, Scott is set on bringing the app into classrooms. “We first started testing the tech in the early phases,” Scott explains. “Primarily, the biggest use case for Healthy Hip Hop is to get kids up and active kind of, to start their day or morning energizer, and also throughout the day for brain boosters.”

Master P Says “I’m not an ATM machine” To His Son Romeo Miller

GettyImages Master P Romeo

Rapper and record executive Master P claims that the recent feud between his oldest son, Romeo Miller, is actually over money and not the recent death of Tytyana Miller. Tytyana was Master P’s 25-year-old daughter, who died earlier this year from an accidental fentanyl intoxication.

Why is the father and son feuding?

A social media battle happened between the record executive and his son after not speaking for months. Romeo called out his father after P addressed the suicide of DJ and Dancer Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, but allegedly the 52-year-old wasn’t very present for his own child’s struggle with mental health. The pair had instagram on fire.

Romeo posted a poem in response to his father at one point, called “The Tree of Trauma.” The actor said poetry is one of the most powerful forms of therapy. His caption also included, “Let’s educate and break these cycles together! Your mental health is just like a muscle that needs to be built and treated. The next generation will grow stronger because of our truths and as a man of God, I know mines will one day too. The Tree of Trauma.”

Apology From Master P?

The No Limits Records founder issued an apology of sorts to his son. He spoke on the death of his daughter and spoke in confusion about him thinking this feud was about ‘tWitch,’ but the hip-hop pioneer business mogul revealed this situation was really about money.

“I’m not an ATM machine,” Master P said in a post on Instagram. He said if he is wrong he is apologizing and that he is a work in progress. Miller Sr. said he wants to do this in love and in peace. However, he did jab at his eldest son slightly in the video. Diddy, T.I., Tasha Cobbs Leonard and some other well-known figures commented in support of the New Orleans-native’s video.

Ab-Soul’s First Time Giving In-Depth Details On Past Suicide Attempt

Ab-Soul

Top Dawg Entertainment Rapper Ab-Soul gives heavy details for the first time about attempting to take his own life. Ab-Soul spoke with Charlamagne Tha God in a in depth interview prior to his new album, Herbert, released today on December 16.

The road to Ab-Soul’s incident

He jumped off of a freeway overpass in Carson, California also known as his hometown. A vape addiction is partially what led to the suicide attempt. Ab-Soul born as Herbert Stevens IV said he is addicted to cigarettes, but hopes to quit one day. He took on the alternative of vaping, since it was promoted as a safer choice than cigarettes, but he later realized it is not. “It is causing severe anxiety and depression…. I never understood depression until this,” he explained to Charlamagne. Ab-Soul does not even want to be in a room with any types of vape. He said he has been better than he’s ever been.

However, the TDE artist described the injuries he gained from “his incident,” he didn’t like to use the word ‘suicide.’ He preached that he is not in denial but would like to refer to the suicide attempt as an “incident.” The bruises from the jump left him almost unable to walk, lost his teeth, and some other wounds that he are still recovering from. Ab-Soul said in the interview he completed the album before the incident.

‘Herbert’ New Album

The long-awaited fifth studio LP has features from artists like SiR and Big Sean. The rapper said he took so long because it was important for him to take a step back and the last album was a lot. “I was getting lost in theory versus actually trying to create good art,” the Carson-native said in his interview.

It is always a heavy time to talk about suicide, but the dance community and those who were fans of The Ellen Show may know we just lost a popular figure, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss because of it.

Ab-Soul thankfully took time to recover from his physical and mental injuries. The California Rapper spoke on being an advocate for mental health and mentioned he is no longer suicidal.

Please call 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, if you are ever in need of help.

YK Osiris Thanks Fans After Concerning Instagram Live And Gets Support From Big Sean

YK Osiris Thanks Fans, Gets Support From Big Sean

YK Osiris worried fans when he went live on Instagram October 16, and expressed diappointment in the way his career is going. He explained he was experiencing suicidal thoughts. Friends and fans reached out to support him. In a video, the smiling rapper assured everyone he was doing better. He said he might not have many friends in the industry, but knowing that people out there still love him, really helps. “Check on your people. Check on your moms, sisters. I don’t care if you mad…people need love, man.

On a list of Osiris’ supporters, is Big Sean. He reached out to the rapper after YK posted his update. Big Sean being  an advocate for mental health makes sense given his own struggle. While making the album Detroit 2,  he opened up about his own journey. Under Osiris’ post the rapper left some advice in the comments.

When you your own source of happiness n love then any love you get is just extra on top (which is beautiful) and any love you dont get, you’re still you and un affected, or at least not as affected by conditional circumstances or how others feel about you. Just leaving that here for others as well. Glad you feeling better though bro. God got you.

Is This Symptom Of A Bigger Mental Health Crisis?

People often attribute depression to a chemical imbalance or personal circumstance, but the social reasons matter as much. Race plays a part when it comes to how Black people, and in this carse Black men, navigate this world.

According to the National Allaince on Mental Illness, “Black adults in the U.S. are more likely than white adults to report persistent symptoms of emotional distress, such as sadness and feeling like everything is an effort.” And given that a common theme in a many hip-hop track revolves around hardships related to poverty and public scrutiny. While YK Osiris may not have the same plight as the average person, the level of hoplessness and isolation is the same, famous or not.

Rappers Shine A Light On A Difficult Topic

When Megan Thee Stallion put out her single “Anxiety,” that was enough for a lot of young black people to feel seen. Of course she took it a step further by starting a website “Bad Bitches Have Bad Days Too.” However, Meg is not the only person in hip-hop advocating for mental health care. From Jay-Z to Mary J, all have songs that touch on depression, grief, and substance abuse.

YK Osiris isn’t the only rapper to go through this, and he won’t be the last considering the demands of the modern music world. However, by being vulnerable with fans, he has kept the door open for the conversation on mental health to continue.

A post shared by Six-O-Breezo (@600breezy)

Not much of the couples’ life together has been available to the public. However, 600 Breezy’s and his girlfriend’s businesses flourished independently. 600 took to Instagram to share Jackson’s tragic loss and what seems to be her last words. In a heartbreaking final plea, Jackson revealed her hopelessness in life itself and her inability to continue to hide them any longer.

The rumors claim she may have jumped from a bridge. These allegations may be supported by her message to Breezy, “It’s 5pm here, this bridge is actually nice. I wish we would’ve came here together.”

“The Best 2 years of my life……”

The two had been dating for 2 years. During that time, both excelled in perspective business ventures. Jackson founded Go cRAEzy Fitness which offered luxury fitness gear, gym essentials, and training. She also found the “Real Talk With Raven” community, where she emphasized and advocated for “mental health and awareness while providing a safe, inviting, and nurturing space to facilitate growth and awareness.”

600 Breezy, on the other hand, is a Chicago rapper amongst the long list of drill rappers. He is known to have been a close associate of the late King Von. Breezy recently released his “Retaliation” project with several singles and videos that generated hundreds of thousands of streams.

600 Breezy, Mental Health, And Depression

Per the messages 600 Breezy shared from his late girlfriend, she had been suffering long before she took action. Like many who have fallen victim to the clinically diagnosed disease, she felt disconnected. Though she had achieved what many wouldn’t succeed in a lifetime, she couldn’t bare to live with misdiagnosis and stress.

Mental illness has taken the lives of many public figures. While this is a mournful topic, the public must address it and take it seriously in the future.

The famous pop singer Doja Cat, grabbed her fans attention recently with a new fierce look. Long story short, the 26-year-old rapper made a live video on Instagram Thursday night, when she ended up shaving her eyebrows right after shaving her head. Fans began to worry whether the star might be suffering from any mental illness. The latter had her reasons and went on to say:

“I just do not like to have hair,”
Cat expressed the burden of having to wear wigs constantly, mostly irritating during her workouts. It’s indeed a crunch time for her. She also added :
“I’d be working out, but I couldn’t focus because I was more concerned with how I looked and how my hair was doing,”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K11oTOwMVCw

However, the “Streets” rapper also spoke about the fact that although her head is shaven, that doesn’t mean she loves herself less now. She mentioned that this act of shaving her head made her appear sexy and she’s not the only pop star to feel this way. Doja made it clear that she was not seeking help or attention as fans speculated about.

Doja Cat Shut Down Haters

Furthermore, the next day, the songstress posted pictures of her latest looks on Instagram with a design on her eyebrows. The image went viral and gained over 3 million likes. Nevertheless, despite the number of fans supporting her, there will always be a bunch of unwelcomed critics.

Doja took the matter and turned it in her favor, reminding her haters that nothing can hurt her. She later tweeted that she wanted to look “fuckable” to “people who live in their mother’s basement”. She mentioned that to all those calling her ugly before she said “Go f–k yourselves.”
A fan said she’s “ungrateful” and should rather “leave social media n go focus on music,” Doja replied :

“You’re so miserable that you have to label yourself as a ‘we,’” she replied. “You aren’t part of any collective. You’re just another asshole that doesn’t know how to read a room.”

The rapper has such a good defense mechanism and is fierceness no matter what.

Meghan Stabile, A Promoter Known For Her Work Integrating Jazz And Hip-Hop, Died At The Age Of 39

The world of music recently received some sad news. In Valrico, Florida, on Sunday, June 12, Meghan Stabile, a promoter, presenter, and producer passed away at 39.

Moreover, Stabile’s passion for activism has profoundly affected the jazz scene, particularly among young artists and people of color.

Her counselor Bikbaye Inejnema, who was an active part of her life for the past three years, confirmed to NPR that suicide brought about her demise. Also, her grandmother, Maureen Stabile, authorized Inejnema to speak for her.

“She knows she didn’t meet any of Meghan’s community,” Inejnema says. “But she does want Meghan’s memory to be honored in the way that reflects who she really was, not what she went through.”

Revive Music Group marks a turning point in the development of Black American music. She organized shows, made connections, and developed a fan base as the organization’s founder. Thundercat, an electric bassist, singer, and songwriter, first announced her death on his Instagram account.

 “Meghan was just as important to the culture as the artists she helped,” bassist Ben Williams, a close friend of hers, said on social media.

Brief History Of Meghan Stabile

Meghan Erin Stabile was born on July 26, 1982, in Corpus Christi, Texas, and grew up in Dover, New Hampshire. Her grandmother and aunt raised her most of the time; her father was not involved. In addition, there was a rift between her and her mother, Gina Marie Skidds, who passed away last year. As well as her grandmother, she leaves behind two siblings, Caitlin Chaloux and Michael Skidds. The Skidds siblings initiated a fundraising effort to arrange her funeral.

 Since Stabile started withdrawing from the music industry, she prioritized her well-being. Furthermore, Winter Jazzfest founder Brice Rosenbloom collaborated with her on a wellness theme for the 2020 festival. However, the collaboration took place weeks before the introduction of the pandemic lockdown.

 Under the direction of Robert Glasper, Meghan spoke at a concert titled Revive Yo’ Feelings: A Wellness Benefit for Musicians. Throughout her performance, she shared her experiences with childhood trauma, addiction, and mental health afflictions.

 Rest in peace, Meghan. It is heartbreaking when someone reaches a point in their life where they contemplate suicide.  A severe mental health problem doesn’t count as a minor matter. Listen to each other and provide support as needed.

 We encourage anyone contemplating suicide to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text the word “home” to 741741.

In an interview, rapper and actor Joey Bada$$ revealed that he needed to go to therapy after starring in the short film Two Distant Strangers.

In a recent interview with XXL, the rapper opened up about his experience working on the project. He also mentioned the most traumatic moments of some of the scenes.

“I’m not [going to] lie; I had to do therapy after I shot two Distant Strangers because it was a lot of internalization,” Bada$$ said. “I remember shooting that in real-time, and it was people driving by, they would stop, and they would roll down their window, and they’d be like, ‘Yo, is this real? Or is this for a movie? What’s going on? You good?‘ It’s traumatic for these innocent bystanders as well.”

How Did Joey Get The Main Lead Role?

Joey Bada$$ said that the project came through his friend Jeymes Samuel, the creator of “The Harder They Fall” movie. Samuel also helped him get a role in “The Harder They Fall.”

Sometime later, Samuel contacted him to offer him another project.

“Fast-forward four months later, it’s the summer of 2020. I get a call from Jeymes, and he’s like, “Yo, Joey, my homie Travon [Free] got this script. It’s gon’ be on Netflix,” Bada$$ said.

He also admitted he was not paid to be part of the film, as it was mainly “an experiment.” But everything changed when he joined the project.

“That obviously helped it get pushed up in the Recording Academy, and we won the Oscar.”

What Is “Two Distant Strangers” About?

Travon Free directed and written the 32-minute documentary short film.

The plot takes place in New York City. It also centers on a young man, Carter James, starring Joey Bada$$. One day while attempting to return home after spending the night at the home of his first date, he has a fatal interaction with a police officer Merk (Andrew Howard).

The film refers to police violence against people of color. Trying to raise awareness about the cruelty of these acts from the authorities.

The film is also available on Netflix.

Atlanta’s Own Young Thug Says the Best Rappers are from Atlanta

Young Thug and Gunna discuss the future of Atlanta and community at REVOLT Summit 2021

As part of a panel at Revolt Summit last week, Young Thug made some pretty bold statements. When asked about what the future of Atlanta would be like is 5-10 years, Thug proudly announced,

“I don’t see no other city kinda like takin’ over Atlanta.”

Thug was born an raised in Atlanta, but his career kicked off the day he met Gunna. The two are well-known friends and spoke together during a panel hosted by Ryan Wilson. Now that they have made it big they are dedicating themselves to giving back to the community they say allowed them to succeed. According to Gunna, Thug was homeless when they met at a funeral, but the community and hospitality of Atlanta allowed them to become who they are today. Just earlier this year Thug and Gunna made headlines for paying 30 bails.

REVOLT 2021

Revolt came back live this year at Atlanta. The previous year, the event went exclusively virtual due to COVID complications. This year, the event is focused specifically on mental health and the community.

Charlamagne tha God kicked off the event with an inspirational speech about mental health. He emphasizes the need for removing the stigma surrounding mental health care and dealing with one’s traumas, “If you don’t deal with your trauma your trauma will eventually deal with you.” He thanks God and the community around him, particularly the black women in his life, for encouraging him to better himself. He in turn, now challenges the rest of us to be the best community possible.

Young Thug and Gunna at the Summit

In a panel hosted by Ryan Wilson, the CEO of The Gathering Spot, Gunna and Young Thug discuss their successes and what makes Atlanta a great place to be a rapper.

Wilson sets the tone by opening up with, “I think Atlanta is one of the most special cities in the country, if not in the world.” Gunna follows up first by talking about how Atlanta made him as a person. He emphasizes the hospitality and love that outpours from its community. He repeatedly mentions how his generation is responsible for clearing the way for the younger generations. And of course, he talks about music in Atlanta, “We got a big impact on music. […] We winning on music right now in Atlanta.”

Not to be outdone, Thug pranced onto the stage, pleasantly surprising Gunna. Seizing the opportunity, Wilson through the same questions at Thug, “We talked about how the collaboration, the community that exists out here is a real thing […] people in other cities they don’t build like that.”

Thug couldn’t agree more, “We getting bigger and bigger and bigger and the biggest artists that’s like popping right now are from Atlanta.” With Thug recently hitting #1 on the Billboard 200 with Punk things certainly seem to be going up and up and up! You can check out FMHipHop’s review of Punk here.

Ye Sits With Larry Hoover In Second Part Of His Drink Champs Episode

In the second part of Ye’s ‘Drink Champs‘ edition, he sat down with Larry Hoover to discuss Hoover’s experience of never seeing his father outside of prison. Ye also described his bipolar disorder while comparing other music artists to “cows” and himself to Vladimir Putin.

Larry Hoover on ‘Drink Champs’

“They told me when I graduate eighth grade, he would be home. Then they told me when I graduate from high school, he would be home. I went away to Morris Brown, I graduated, and he still ain’t home. Now I’m an adult, and my daughter went away to college and graduated. He still not home. Now even more than that, my son, he graduated eighth grade, and we still waitin’.”

Above is the part of Larry Hoover Jr.’s verse on Donda’s song ‘Jesus Lord.’ Hoover Jr. also shared his experiences of not contacting his father almost for his entire life. Hoover is 47 years old now. He has never seen his father, Larry Hoover, outside the maximum-security prison walls.

Hoover also thanked Ye for the effort to help his family. “It’s all because of Kanye… to give me the platform to speak on my father,” Hoover claimed.

Ye’s Mental Health

Ye also discussed his mental health issues. The rapper brought up various obstacles for his bipolar syndrome. He talked about medication, dealing with anger, and searching for routine adjustments to better the mental state.

Ye also listed various controversial things he committed. He then described them as examples of situations where people try to degrade Ye by saying, “you’re crazy.” However…

“I could do all these things… and I’m a tell you like this, for Britney Spears for anybody… okay, ‘I’m crazy, but what ya’ll gonna do about it?'”

“Cows” Musicians vs “Vladimir Putin” Ye

While bringing up serious issues, Ye also went to compare other musicians to “cows.” Just like the farm animals, the artists are marching towards the music industry slaughter. At least, according to Ye.

While “cows” march, Ye..leads? The rapper somehow managed to compare himself to Vladimir Putin. “I’m like Young Putin,” Kanye said, “I used to say I was Young Vladimir until I realized I was Vladimir. You know the moment when I realized it was? When I realized culture is an oil, culture is energy. And I’m the king of culture, for the past 20 and the next 2,000 years.”

Kremlin’s private media conglomerate, which might as well be a boot cleaning service, already noted Kanye’s words. They complimented the rapper, and claimed that Ye “praised” the Russian president, apparently.
