Celebrating my residency @ downtown cocktail room las vegas with a jackin’ house journey for you all. Thanks for listening and please like, share and let me know what you think! love, erinblackirish. https://www.mixcloud.com/erinblackirish/year-eight-the-anniversary-mix-a-live-recording-by-erinblackirish-funkin-jack-7242026/ #erinblackirish #housemusic #lasvegas #mixcloud #funkinjack

Where do I even start? This is such a bittersweet moment.

I am a first-generation college student and the first in my family to attend a Historically Black College or University.

My journey didn’t start off perfectly. I was confused, unsure of myself, and overwhelmed. But somewhere along the way, I found my peace and fell in love with public health. I’m one step closer to my goal of being a clinical research health professional.

I want to thank all my friends and family who have stood by me throughout this journey, encouraged me, and reminded me that I could do it even when I doubted myself. And to those who thought I wouldn’t make it, look at me now. Sometimes, it’s best to let your accomplishments speak for themselves.

Younger me always thought I had to be perfect. But I’ve learned that not everything will go your way, plans will change, and life will test you. Still, the storm never lasts forever.

A little advice to anyone still figuring things out: The sky is the limit. Don’t limit yourself just because you lack confidence or feel like you’re not ready. You’ll never know what you’re capable of until you try. It’s okay to take risks, make mistakes, learn along the way, and grow. Remember, everyone has their own path and their own timeline. Don’t compare your journey to someone else’s. Trust yourself enough to see where life can take you.

Through every high and low, every doubt, and every obstacle, WE MADE IT. WE DID IT!

For those of you who don’t know me, I am @craig.maxwell.526 ‘s friend, Gethin.

Craig is a man with a purpose – a determination to make a real difference to the lives of those affected by cancer.

The amount of money he’s helped to raise is simply incredible, but behind that figure is a story of courage, commitment, resilience and an unwavering desire to help others.

Waking up in “8/10 pain” yesterday would have been enough for most people to take a step back. Not Craig. From the attention to detail and care throughout the day, to making sure everything came together and delivering on the night, his honesty, humour and sheer determination shone through.

The goal was achieved. And what an achievement it was! “Destination £2million” and £631,000 on the night!!!

The generosity of everyone who supported, donated and got behind the cause has given Craig another reason, and even more strength, to keep fighting on.

For himself, for his family (Tracey the rock of all rocks), and for every single person living with cancer.

Because this is about so much more than one event or one fundraising total. It’s about hope, support, making a difference and reminding people that they are not alone.

Craig, your determination is an inspiration. And to everyone who played a part in making this happen, thank you. Never underestimate the difference your generosity can make.

One of the action takers who was arrested today after destroying military satellites bound for Israel, explained why they took direct action.

As well as being the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, today also marks one year since Palestine Action prisoners began a collective hunger strike.

The direct action movement hasn't wavered despite the increased repression.
