    The release of a new album is one of the biggest moments in a singer’s career. This is the moment when they get the chance to share what they’ve been working on for months, it could mean their big break or their biggest failure, and this is why record companies and PR teams spend thousands of dollars and countless hours planning the best strategy for a successful album release. This week we're joined by one of Nashville's rising stars, singer/songwriter Caroline Romano, to discuss the different ways the most successful artists like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé have made their mark with their launches.

    Honey Boo Boo and Body Positivity • Kelsie Nick
    Sep 29 2021
    The rise of social media, the cover of magazines and the beauty standards set by society throughout the years made body diversity null, and only certain types of bodies were deemed “acceptable”. Now, body positivism is a movement that has been growing stronger in recent years and it focuses on the inclusion of everyone, regardless of their shape and weight. A positive example of this is Alana Thompson, better known as Honey Boo Boo. 

Alana Thompson, star of TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” grew up in the spotlight. Her and her family first came to the American public in “Toddlers and Tiaras”, a reality show that followed the contestants of a child beauty pageant and their families. We’ll be discussing Alana’s recent remarks on body positivity and how her mentality has helped her get there even when she has received so much criticism from a young age.
