Wish

 

"Wish" stars Oscar winner Ariana DeBose as a 17-year-old girl named Asha, who wishes on a star when she senses a darkness in the Kingdom of Rosas, casted by King Magnifico that no one else does.   When Asha asks for help from the stars, a fallen star appears to help her save the kingdom. With Asha’s courage and determination, she is able to reconnect humans with the power of wish-making, a theme reflected in many of Disney's movies. Afro Latina star Ariana DeBose explains Asha is about building community and being unselfish. Wish brings together the power of wish-making, fairy tales and representation  on the big screen.  “Wish,” is the movie commemorating Walt Disney Studios’ 100th anniversary and will be released on November 22.

UniverSoul Circus

UniverSoul Circus  known as the coolest show on earth! bring their razzle and dazzle performances to New York City with a stop at Orchard Beach in the Bronx from Nov 2-5. This African American owned circus showcases their diverse and multicultural talent at major cities across the country. 

“We get to share our culture with everyone and each member of the audience leaves with a message: that everyone belongs. The UniverSoul Circus is for the people…it’s their show.” states Cedric Walker, Founder and CEO After 29 years, millions of people from all over the world have enjoyed thousands of shows and the fun continues.  Their next stop is Philadelphia from Nov 10-18 and later Coney Island. 

As part   of their initiative  to build community, they have reached out to homeless families and provided them with free performance.   We love performing for families across the country, but our Family Open House is our way of reaching out to the local community and helping those in need as best we can, and we’re thrilled that business, media, and community leaders are as supportive of this event as we are,” said Cedric Walker, “There are many great organizations that, thankfully, are willing to help provide necessities to these transitional families, but we can offer them something very unique with a night out together at the circus and we hope to make this an annual event.”
