Meet Canada's First Black Female Interventional Cardiologist
An excerpt from Face2FaceAfrica -
Meet the Haitian woman who became Canada’s first Black female interventional cardiologist

Alexandra Bastiany, Canada’s first Black woman interventional cardiologist, was raised in Montreal by a Haitian mother who pursued a career in nursing and a father who worked as a chemist. Thus, Bastiany’s ambition to become a doctor has been present since she was a young child.
She told Heart and Stroke, “Both my parents had defied the odds by attending college and university and becoming young professionals in a foreign country. I was determined to follow in their footsteps and achieve my dreams, despite how the world perceived me, and independently of what society expected from me. I was determined to rise above the statistics and the stereotypes. I must also say, I love a challenge.”
But even as a teenager, she was inspired by the intricacies of “such a simple organ” called the heart and understood that practicing cardiology was what she wanted to do.
“During my first year in medical school, I fell in love with the heart, but I did not think cardiology was for me until I learned about interventional cardiology (this is a practice that works on the arteries in the heart to remove blockages using non-invasive procedures, through the wrists or groin),” she said.

South Carolina Builds First Monument to African American

South Carolina to build first monument to an African American. Meet Robert Smalls
Robert Smalls made an audacious escape from enslavement to become a pilot and a South Carolina statesman.

BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina is preparing to put up its first individual statue for an African American on its Statehouse lawn, honoring a man who put on Confederate clothes in order to steal a slaveholder’s ship and sail his family and a dozen others to freedom during the Civil War.
But Robert Smalls isn’t just being honored for his audacious escape. He spent a decade in the U.S. House, helped rewrite South Carolina’s constitution to allow Black men equality after the Civil War and then put up a valiant but doomed fight when racists returned to power and eliminated nearly all of the gains Smalls fought for.
Rep. Jermaine Johnson can’t wait to bring his children to the Statehouse to finally see someone who is Black like them being honored.

Larry Graham on Bass
An excerpt from BassPlayer -
“I wasn’t interested in learning the ‘correct’ style of playing bass. I was going back to guitar”: Larry Graham explains how his unorthodox six-string style invented slap bass
How the father of slap bass drove the world’s grooviest band
By Nick Wells
Bassists like Larry Graham come around maybe once a century. Widely credited as the man who invented thumping and plucking, or slap bass if you prefer, he switched to bass from guitar and famously began to thump the strings while playing in his mother's band as a teenager.
Joining Sly & The Family Stone in 1967, Graham made his new style the defining sound of funk. No group before or since – with the possible exception of Prince – had such success in crossing funk grooves and pop melodies the way Sly and his band did on tracks such as Stand! and Dance to the Music.
“Dance to the Music stands out as one of my favorite basslines,” Graham told Bass Player. “Bass players weren't using effects up until that point, and that opened the door. Everyday People is also unique because I'm just thumpin' one note with the same rhythm for the whole song. I'd never heard that before.”

Highest Divorce Rate in America in These States
An excerpt from The Boot -
The Divorce Rate in America is Highest in These Five States
By Evan Paul
With the divorce rate hovering near 43 percent in America, wedding bliss can be just that, or your marriage can end in divorce.
That doesn't stop people from taking the risk, however — nearly 90 percent of people get married by the age of 50.
America has the highest divorce rate in the world, and it's especially bad in some states.
Divorce Rate in America Is Highest in These 5 States
If you're looking to get married and stay that way, you might not want to reside in one of these five states. These states have the highest divorce rate in the country:
5. Oklahoma
4. West Virginia
3. Kentucky
2. Wyoming
1. Arkansas
The divorce in Arkansas is more than 60 percent higher than the rest of the country as a whole! Researches say that Arkansas has a higher number of marriages, so that could be part of why there's higher number of divorces.
