LOS ANGELES – October 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Volition™, the leading beauty platform of the Creator Economy, known for its best-selling clean, vegan and cruelty-free skincare products, today announced it has entered a multi-year beauty product development deal with A+E Networks®. Over the course of the partnership, select A+E talent will become Volition “Innovators,” working hand-in-hand with Brand chemists and creatives to bring unique skincare SKUs to market under the Volition label. 

The first such Innovator is Jana Kramer, star of Lifetime’s upcoming Steppin’ into the Holiday, who has co-created Volition’s new retinol-based collection, starting with the new Volition Sémillon Overnight Retinol Serum with Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid launching November 2022, $69. An eye cream and full skincare bundle will follow in early 2023.

“A+E Networks is thrilled to launch this foundational enterprise with Volition as we further extend the reach of our Lifetime brand together with meaningful partners. Our first collaboration with Lifetime star Jana Kramer highlights her broad appeal throughout social media as a fervent ambassador for healthy living and natural skin care. We look forward to Jana’s glowing complexion representing the vision of the Lifetime brand extension into skin care,” said Lance Still, SVP, Consumer Enterprises, A+E Networks.

When CEO & Founder Patricia Santos created Volition, her vision was an assortment of products developed with entrepreneurial content creators as authentic extensions of their personal brand. This first A+E Networks collaboration embodies that vision as Kramer wanted to create a unique facial serum that harnessed the antioxidant power of sémillon grape seed in a potent anti-wrinkle serum to help protect skin from free radicals. “I have long been passionate about winemaking, but it always bothered me how the grape seeds are discarded when making white wines,” says Kramer.

“We’re delighted to start this partnership with Jana, as she is passionate about her first product with Volition and her large, engaged audience of beauty enthusiasts will organically amplify our reach.” Volition currently engages with a digital community of approximately 600,000 users and expects that number to increase substantially over the duration of the new deal. “We believe this partnership can revolutionize the way in which brands and talent work together, as we set out to create compelling, new beauty ideas,” says Santos of the future with A+E Networks talent and expanded brand offerings from Volition. “This is an exciting start.”

Steppin’ into the Holiday follows the story of former Broadway star Billy Holiday (Mario Lopez) who returns to his hometown for Christmas after being abruptly fired from a hit TV series “Celebrity Dance Off.” While there, he encounters Rae (Jana Kramer), the charismatic owner of the local dance studio where Billy’s 12-year-old nephew is her standout student. Rae and Billy collaborate to revive the town’s traditional Christmas Eve show as a dance recital fundraiser and romantic sparks start flying! Steppin’ into the Holiday premieres Friday, November 25 at 8/7C on Lifetime.

Sémillon Overnight Retinol Serum with Niacinamide + Hyaluronic Acid is available at volitionbeauty.com and will retail at Ulta.com beginning January 2023.

Digitunity Works With Local Organizations to Close Arkansas’ Digital Divide

Digitunity Works With Local Organizations to Close Arkansas’ Digital DividePartnership with community groups works to improve the state’s ranking for broadband coverage.

CONWAY, N.H. – October 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

As a national nonprofit connecting technology donors with organizations serving people in need of computers, Digitunity supports the state of Arkansas in working with community-based groups to close the digital divide afflicting the state’s marginalized residents. They do this through their Digital Opportunity Network, comprised of 1,500 organizations across the U.S.

In July, Heartland Forward, a Bentonville nonprofit, announced the organization of a coalition of over a dozen Arkansas-based organizations. Its goal is to expand internet access throughout the state by supporting local initiatives and securing federal funding to ensure high-speed internet is more accessible and affordable across Arkansas. 

According to findings from the Arkansas State Broadband Manager’s Report, as of June 2020, Arkansas is 50th in the nation for broadband coverage. Only 79% of the state’s population has internet service with speeds of at least 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. As recently as 2022, there are still 210,000 households in the state lacking adequate broadband access. 

“Having a connected computer and the skills to use it productively is a fundamental need in today’s society,” said Scot Henley, executive director of Digitunity. “Since its founding, Digitunity has partnered with several nonprofit organizations in Arkansas, with wide-ranging missions from youth-focused projects to life skills and digital literacy for adult learners, all with a shared mission of bridging the technology gap.”

Digitunity has six Digital Opportunity Network members in the state: 

  • The North Central Career Center of Leslie
  • The Conway County Center for Exceptional Children of Morrilton
  • Carter’s Crew of Little Rock
  • The Arkansas Adult Learning Resource Center of Little Rock
  • Shirley Community Service and Development Corporation of Shirley 
  • Northeast Arkansas Innovative Training Center of Jonesboro 

These distribution partners provide technology to adults looking for jobs, schoolchildren, and nonprofit organizations like career and technical centers. As of 2021, Digitunity and its Network have distributed 273 devices in Arkansas. Their body of work connecting donors of technology with recipient organizations serving people in need spans nearly 40 years. 

Since Digitunity’s inception, thousands of people have benefitted from its efforts. Its perspective has been shaped by decades of experience creating local impact through the benefit of a national lens. As an independent, national nonprofit focused on advancing digital equity through device ownership, Digitunity is unique in the digital inclusion landscape. 

One way Digitunity demonstrates this uniqueness is by partnering with local organizations and governments to benefit members of these communities. One such way they’re doing this is by helping state and local governments, like those in Arkansas, create digital equity plans. This action was inspired by the landmark Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will expand broadband infrastructure and enable eligible households to obtain home broadband access and a connected device. Digitunity sees this initiative as an opportunity to help the state of Arkansas as they develop a digital equity plan. The goal of this plan is to expand access to connected devices for all Arkansas residents. 

In response, the organization has developed recommendations for state digital equity plans. This expertise in both supply and community distribution gives Digitunity the ability to effectively partner with coalitions, cities, and states to create sustainable device access solutions. To learn more about Digitunity’s digital equity planning work, please visit digitunity.org.

About Digitunity
Since the 1980s, Digitunity has advanced digital inclusion by connecting donors of technology with organizations serving people in need. Our mission is to ensure everyone who needs a computer has one, along with robust internet connectivity and digital literacy skills. To learn more about our mission, please visit www.digitunity.org.

NEW YORK – October 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

KTRome, who specializes in happy books with happy endings, has completed her new book, “Forever Christmas Letters”:  a heartwarming collection of family Christmas memories that inspire readers to keep God at the center of holiday celebrations. 

Author KTRome’s books draw from personal life experiences. Her God-given faith peeks out of every book. KTRome’s love story “Three for Him” will reveal the

double meaning to the title, giving hope to single moms overcoming tough circumstances with prayer, faith, and mini miracles from God. KTRome’s love story “My Golfer and Me” subtly hints at the value of abstinence in high school and college romance. “Theta Lady” proves the merits of sorority sisterhood in college. KTRome’s education career includes teaching in five districts, coaching tennis, and serving as principal and school board member, which led to writing “Make American Education Great Again.” This book explores best practices from the time education began in America to 2008.

KTRome discusses her work, writing, “Christmas letters and pictures are the very best records of families growing together each and every year. Other traditions like caroling, parties, gifts, baking, and decorating are the frosting on the Christmas cake. The very best tradition is sharing the Bible story of the gift of God’s love. The Bible is God’s love letter, after all.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, KTRome’s new book combines photographs with written text to paint a vivid picture of Christmases past and inspire faith and love for Christmases to come. 

Readers can purchase “Forever Christmas Letters” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

NEW YORK – October 17, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

KTRome, who serves God and others in any way she can, has completed her new book, “Happy Campers Songs”: a collection of catchy, fun songs ideal for use in schools, churches, and camps. The purpose of sharing these songs is to tap into the memories of readers and inspire them to enjoy sharing the words and tunes. 

Author KTRome has taught at all levels from preschool to adults in five school districts, and she has been a principal, tennis coach, and elected school board member, and simultaneously owns a day-care center and Christian bookstore. She earned her BA at the University of California-Fresno and her MA and administrative credential at San José State University. 

When she thinks of her trophies, awards, careers, family, and earthly treasures, she is reminded of “The Old Rugged Cross” song line “‘Til my trophies at last I lay down.” That is because nothing means more to her than God Himself. Her favorite book of all time is God’s Word, the Bible, with all the answers to life’s questions. It is the best gift and the guide to an abundant life forever. KTRome tries to be like the Lupine Lady adding pictures, stories, flowers, and love to make the world a better place. She loves to see minds filled with good, happy thoughts that only come from God. Of course, she adores her husband, three children, and grandchildren forever. Her favorite places are the mountains, the sea, her home sweet home, and the tennis court.

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, KTRome’s new book encourages readers to pass on these songs as a way of passing on happiness to others. This collection of cheerful, engaging songs allows readers to make new memories as they relive past memories of enjoying these familiar tunes.
