January Newsletter January Newsletter R E V E N U E , V I S I B I L I T Y, I M PA C T As we all embark on a new year, I’m focused on the themes that will guide Schoolin Life in 2019 and enable us to continue ‘schoolin life’ together. revenue - increasing the net revenue of the Schoolin Life brand, while accounting for growth and expansion visibility - increasing the brand and name recognition of Schoolin Life impact - building affinity and brand loyalty among professional women who engage with us Since its inception, much of the growth and development of Schoolin Life has been organic. It’s been built on word of mouth (y’all the real MVP’s), partnering with friends, and promotion from people I love and admire. I haven’t always been intentional as an entrepreneur and at times, I worry that it shows. Sometimes my passion for a project is bigger than my budget, a collaboration that I really want falls apart, or I don’t have the expertise, time, or energy to do what Schoolin Life deserves as she grows. But this year I have a plan. Using the guiding principles of revenue, visibility, and impact this year, I plan to be more intentional in 2019. Every event, every guest, every collaboration has to meet all three of these criteria. If it doesn’t, then I’m not doing it. Maybe I’ll be invited to be guest at an event that will increase our visibility and impact women, but if it’s out of budget and won’t drive revenue, then I’m not doing it. Maybe I’ll get an advertising opportunity that will drive significant revenue and increase brand recognition and visibility, but if it’s not going to have a positive impact on the lives of women, then I’m not doing it. The continued growth of Schoolin Life requires intentionality and planning, as well as the guiding principles of revenue, visibility, and impact. Don’t worry! The mission of Schoolin Life isn’t changing. We’ll still be right here, empowering women by extending the coveted “girlfriend” conversation and cultivating a community of women who are passionate about education, storytelling, and personal and professional development, helping us all “school life.” These 3 words are guiding Schoolin Life in the coming year, what words are guiding you? Choose carefully and remember, it’s only up from here. S H O W U P I believe in the power of “being there” for people, literally showing up for people and being present in their face and space. Group FaceTime is lit, but there is nothing that replaces being in the company of others. This is why Schoolin Life has two events in January to celebrate life, love & libations in person! On January 13, join us for Life Lessons & Lunges, a 60 minute, high impact workout followed by a round table discussion of women’s health at University Park, PA. Whether you’re new to working out or a regular in the gym, come connect with other women as we kick off the new year, putting ourselves and fitness first. If working out isn’t your thing, then join us for Life Lessons and Libations in Atlanta on January 27 for a mini Schoolin Life Live show, a “study session” on the power and importance of journaling, and an unlimited mimosa bar. If writing your vision and making it plain is an important part of your 2019 plan, then this event is for you. You have two different opportunities to connect with us in January and more to come throughout the course of the year. Show up; we can’t wait to see you there! I N M Y E A R S R O B I N T H I C K E - “ T E S T I F Y ” I’ve long been a Robin Thicke fan. From “Lost Without U” to “Sex Therapy,” I live for a Jon B-ish R&B hero. But Mr. Thicke gave me problematic fav vibes when he released “Blurred Lines,” and after his issues with Paula, and rumored drug abuse, I wasn’t pressed when he faded to black a few years ago. I just resigned to find other fair-skinned singers to fill the void. But Robin is back with his sultry, beggin behind, testifying and accounting for all his sins and pledging to do better, in new single “Testify”. This new track is more of a Catholic confessional than C.O.G.I.C. atonement, but I’ll take it. Welcome back Robin, I’m excited to be a believer again. C H A N C E T H E R A P P E R Like an independent artist, Chance the Rapper﹘the only Chicago rapper we acknowledge﹘has released his new music, not as an album or LP but as individual songs. And I’m in love. The new tracks, “My Own Thing,” (which made my forever Presidents 2018 favorite songs, btw) “The Man Who Has Everything,” “I Might Need Security,” and “Work Out” all have his signature upbeat, hopeful, church baseline but with deeply personal content from his high hopes for his pending nuptials to his literal disdain for current mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel. One of the things I love about Chance’s music is that he reminds me of how multifaceted we are as a people and how quickly we can go from politics to pole dancing, and back to praise and worship and still be whole, passionate, and real. Thanks Chance, more multifaceted music for 2019.

It represents 97% of its biosphere. It is host to the majority of living species, produces most of the oxygen we breathe, regulates our climate and generates 60% of the ecosystem services which enable us to live. Sadly, however, the Ocean is also symbol of our irresponsibility. It suffers all the damage we inflict on our planet.” said HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. “That’s why this year’s Gala for the Global Ocean in Monte-Carlo is so important.

  • Song List for Your Review
    west coast music Everyday People Please find attached the ‘Everyday People’ song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES: Please note that we will need to have your special dance requests, (i.e. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, etc) FOUR WEEKS prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and so that we have time to locate sheet music and audio. In cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is needed, this gives us time to properly prepare the music. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. If you desire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we would ask for a minimum 80 requests. ‘LOW ROTATION REQUESTS: We will also need any General Requests that are chosen from the ‘Low Rotation’ portion of this song list (pages 8-9) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event. The songs from the ‘Low Rotation’ section are not in the active Everyday People song rotation, so the band would need the extra time to prepare them MODERN/TOP 40 24k Magic – Bruno Mars Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen A Thousand Years – Christina Perri Call You Girlfriend - Robyn Adorn – Miguel Can’t Feel My Face – The Weeknd Ascension – Maxwell Can’t Hold

  • References to Women in R&B and Hip
    Sang Nguyen REFERENCES TO WOMEN IN R&B AND HIP HOP Case Studies of Girl, Baby, Bitch and Shorty Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences Master’s Thesis April 2020 TIIVISTELMÄ Sang Nguyen: References to Women in R&B and Hip Hop: Case Studies of Girl, Baby, Bitch and Shorty Pro gradu- tutkielma Tampereen yliopisto Englannin kielen ja kirjallisuuden maisteriopinnot Huhtikuu 2020 Tässä pro gradu-tutkielmassa tutkitaan nimitysten girl, baby, bitch ja shorty naisiin liittyvää käyttöä ja merkityksiä R&B ja hip hop –musiikkigenreissä 15 vuoden ajalta (2000-2015, poislukien vuosi 2006). Keskeisinä tavoitteina tutkielmassa on selvittää edellä mainittujen nimitysten yleisyys R&B:ssä ja hip hopissa, tutkia nimitysten merkityksiä ja konnotaatioita eri sanakirjoissa ja laulujen konteksteissa ja pohtia näiden nimitysten ja musiikkilajien sosiaalista ulottuvuutta ja yhteisöjen ja laulujen sisältöjen vuorovaikutusta. Tutkielma on sekä kvantitatiivinen että kvalitatiivinen. Kvantitatiivinen tieto pohjautuu vuosittaisiin Top 20- lauluihin Billboardin R&B and hip hop- listoilta (yhteensä 300 kappaletta). Tiedonkeruu tapahtui AntConc- ohjelman avulla, jossa kerätyistä laulunsanoista sai muodostettua oman korpuksen tarkempaa numeroanalyysia varten. Kvalitatiivinen tieto taas rakentuu monista sanakirjoista ja laulujen sisältöjen laadullisista analyyseista. Kvalitatiivista tietoa täydentävät moninaiset kuvaukset R&B:stä ja hip hopista, näiden musiikkilajien paikka ja vaikutus yhteisöissä, Sapir-Whorf- hypoteesi, sanastotutkimus naisiin liittyvistä sanoista, seksismin lajit ja lyhyt slangin ja afrikkalaisamerikkalaisen englannin luonnehdinta. Tutkimuksen mukaan kaikki neljä sanaa olivat mukautettavissa sekä positiiviseen että negatiiviseen kontekstiin. Kontekstista riippuen nimitykset sisälsivät joko negatiivisia tai positiivisia konnotaatioita. Siinä missä tämä tulos saattoi olla spekuloitavissa girl, baby ja shorty sanojen yhteydessä, sama tulos sanan bitch kohdalla oli yllättävämpää sen yleisesti halventavaksi oletetun luonteen takia.
