Romello Truitt and Roland “M.E” Truitt are refining the wings game with their restaurant called Wings World, which they describe as a business that is both “from the city and for the city.”
There’s a moment in every hard season when you realize you can’t fake your way through it anymore. Healing doesn’t start with answers. It starts with honesty. That realization became the foundation of Be True: My Journey from Breakdown to Breakthrough, DeVon Franklin’s new Audible Original and one man stage show, created after his public divorce and a season that pushed him to explore his life, faith, and personal growth.
Rooted in storytelling and emotional honesty, Be True follows Franklin’s journey from a painful public chapter to a life shaped by authenticity and self-trust. The show offers an intimate look at what it means to sit with discomfort, confront your truth, and begin rebuilding from the inside out. Through candid moments, Franklin invites listeners to witness a man confronting loss, rediscovering his purpose, and learning to embrace his own humanity.
In our interview, Franklin opens up about vulnerability, lessons from marriage, and navigating life’s toughest moments. He shares insights, moments of clarity, and personal transformation, showing that growth does not follow a straight path and that facing yourself honestly is often the first step toward healing. Even in public scrutiny and personal heartbreak, it is possible to move forward with intention and courage.
For anyone feeling stuck in a difficult season, Be True is a comforting reminder that you are not alone. Franklin’s story encourages self-reflection, emotional honesty, and the courage to confront life as it is, not as we wish it would be. Watch our full conversation with DeVon Franklin and listen to Be True: My Journey from Breakdown to Breakthrough now on Audible to experience the moments that shaped this deeply personal journey.
It was a night of support, love, and community amongst women as the American Heart Association hosted their 2026 Red Dress Concert and Fashion Show, presented by Go Red for Women®.
The annual event serves to continue the Go Red For Women campaign’s initiative of raising funds and awareness that heart disease is the leading cause of death in women, challenging the misconception that it’s predominantly a “man’s disease.”
Leading the evening was Laura Linney as host of the awards ceremony alongside CEO of the AHA, Nancy Brown- followed by the honor of Woman Changing the World award for Amy Grant, and a show-stopping performance by Nicole Scherzinger. Fashion designers create red couture gowns each year for the fashion show portion of the event, emphasizing that heart disease affects women of all ages, backgrounds, and lifestyles.
Activists, artists, doctors and educators on the carpet highlighted everything from women’s heart health awareness and education gaps around it… to health equity and policy barriers that affect preventive care, treatment access, and long-term outcomes…to research and funding shortfalls.
Using their voices this year were Selma Blair, Susan Lucci, Jane Seymour, Miss America 2026 Cassie Donegan, Uzo Aduba, Ali Ahn, Chlöe Bailey, Christina Chang, Kandi and Riley Burruss, Alexandra Breckenridge, Edie Falco, Aida Turturro, Amaya “Papaya” Espinal, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Normani, Sasha Pieterse, Jen Hale, Bella Poarch- and last but certainly not least, Monty, The Giant Schnauzer.
Each person on this carpet- whether speaking from personal experience with and/or watching a loved-one battle heart disease- had something meaningful to contribute to the conversation of cardiovascular disease’s impact and how women can advocate for and educate themselves. Significant disparities persist for women, particularly women of color, in access to quality care, representation in research and bystander CPR.
Doctor Evelina Grayver in particular strongly encouraged action and preventive care among young women and mothers:
“First step… find a cardiologist that will actually listen, will not dismiss your symptoms, and understands the importance of maternal health.”
Aside from cardiovascular disease being the number one killer for women, Grayver adds, “The unfortunate part about it is the fact that less than 50% of women going into pregnancy are in optimal cardiovascular shape.”
In addition to preventative care, it’s important to know the Warning Signs & Symptoms of Heart Attack and Stroke. Every second counts.

Japanese boy group ONE OR EIGHT is hitting the gas in 2026 with their debut mini-album, GATHER. Anchored by the focus track “TOKYO DRIFT,” the project serves as a definitive statement on the group’s unity and collective resilience. According to member Souma, the core philosophy of the album is the importance of coming together to overcome individual weaknesses, turning shared struggles into a source of combined strength.
As Industry gears up for its highly anticipated fourth season, the series continues to cement itself as one of television’s most unflinching portraits of ambition, power, and moral compromise. Set within the cutthroat world of international finance, the HBO drama has never shied away from exposing the personal cost of success and Season 4 promises to be its most charged chapter yet. With careers hanging in the balance and relationships fractured beyond repair, the pressure at Pierpoint has reached a boiling point.
