>> Music News: Can You Handle The Greatness?! Jessie Reyez Is A True Toronto Talent!


Hello there dear Blog readers! Back again with some music news and inspiration: We have just recently discovered the huge talent that is Jessie Reyez, born and raised in Toronto, Canada. 😃 Apologies for being late but we had our own life situation to sort out too - in a new country. Again. So back to the topic.. when the radio was on during a recent UBER trip they played 'Figures' and I was like: 'Who is this?!' So I googled it and found the amazing Jessie Reyez. A singer-songwriter with stories to tell - straight to the point. Listen to her emotional Break-Up anthem 'Figures' below:


It got even more interesting when we looked up some of her other projects. One of them is a 12 minute short film with the name 'Gatekeeper'. In it, Jessie recalls her experience with misogyny and pure sexism in the music industry and the general concept of 'if you want to go somewhere in life or the music industry, you better give up everything including your self respect and any opinions you may have had to the people in power'. Having been through this myself I decided, that it was not the way for me to go - even if music and self expression are your everything.



Now that the #MeToo movement made waves, we are glad that someone with a powerful voice and a promising career is shining a light on this injustice and all the people who supported this BS over the years. We are glad that she made her way through, so we now all get to listen to her incredible music! We will definitely keep track of this amazing Newcomer.😊

Wenn auch Du denkst dass der einzig richtige Weg,  aus der sich immer weiter zuspitzenden Lage in der Ukraine, Gespräche und Verhandlungen statt immer weiterer Waffenlieferungen sind, kannst Du hier die Petition für den Frieden unterschreiben. Außerdem findet am 25sten Februar um 14 Uhr eine Kundgebung vor dem Brandenburger Tor in Berlin statt . Desto mehr Teilnehmer sich dort einfinden, desto mehr wird der Gesuch nach Verhandlungen die zu Frieden führen können, gehört. Solltest Du also gerade vor Ort sein und diese Einstellung teilen, kannst Du dich gern den anderen anschließen die ebenfalls durch Vernunft etwas bewirken wollen,  als die Krise durch weitere Waffenlieferungen immer weiter anzuheizen. Hier kannst Du weitere Informationen finden.

Bernd Das Brot & Ivonne The Editor Once again we bring you unique content, because who else but us would write a feature article about a grumpy piece of bread that goes by the name of 'Bernd'. Only we do this internationally. :)  The notoriously low spirited piece of dough, is famous in Germany for his TV Show ' Bernd Das Brot '. It is about him, being as grumpy as a loaf can get.   photo:  AP/ Thüringer Allgemeine To honor him, there is even a 2 meter tall statue of his likeness, located in the city center of  Erfurt, Germany since 2007. In 2009 this statue made headlines when an anonymous group abducted Bernd from his regular spot. A few weeks after that, he was found by police in a basement nearby. Their statement was: 'It is definitely him, he is ok.' Fynn and Bernd das Brot   Nobody ever really found out who brought the German cult figure into the basement and why. But he is good and back at his old spot and that is all that
