LOS ANGELES, CA — August 5, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — The Chicano Hollywood Film Festival announced that Oscar-nominated makeup artist, character designer and longtime community advocate Ken Diaz has been named the inaugural recipient of the Community Impact Legacy Award, presented by Pure Flix Familia, Great American Media’s upcoming Spanish-language and bilingual faith and family entertainment destination. The annual award recognizes individuals whose lives exemplify faith, servant leadership and a lifelong commitment to strengthening families and communities. The honor was presented during the festival’s Closing Night Awards Ceremony.

«Ken Diaz has spent a lifetime creating unforgettable characters on-screen, but his greatest legacy is the lives he has touched off-screen,» said Johnny Murillo, founder of the Chicano Hollywood Film Festival. «His story reflects the values this award was created to recognize faith, redemption, service and a commitment to helping others discover hope and purpose.»

«The Community Impact Legacy Award, presented by Pure Flix Familia, recognizes people who use their gifts to make a lasting difference in the lives of others,» said Denise Crayne, Chief Financial Officer of Great American Media. «Ken’s remarkable career speaks for itself, but what makes him truly deserving of this honor is the way he has invested his faith, influence and compassion in the lives of others. His commitment to mentoring others, supporting second chances and pointing people toward hope reflects everything this award was created to celebrate.»

The honor reflects Pure Flix Familia’s mission to celebrate individuals whose lives demonstrate the power of faith, service and authentic storytelling to strengthen families and communities.

While Diaz’s Hollywood career has earned widespread acclaim, it was his personal journey of faith and ministry that made him the unanimous choice for the festival’s inaugural honor.

In 1991, Diaz was shot in the leg after confronting young gang members spray-painting graffiti beneath a Los Angeles freeway overpass. During his recovery, a friend prayed with him and introduced him to Jesus Christ, beginning a profound spiritual transformation that would shape the rest of his life.

Soon afterward, Diaz became involved in a church in Pico Rivera, where he spent months working alongside former gang members who shared powerful dramatic presentations based on their own lives. Their stories revealed not only the violence and consequences of gang culture, but also the hope found through faith, forgiveness and redemption.

That encounter changed the course of Diaz’s life, reshaping both his faith and the stories he would spend the next three decades helping bring to the screen.

«I had gone from wanting to beat these kids…to having a deeper understanding of them,» Diaz recalled in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times. «I realized the humanity of the hurt, damaged people who just need love and guidance.»

Those relationships profoundly influenced both his ministry and his work in Hollywood. They enabled Diaz to bring extraordinary authenticity and humanity to acclaimed films including Blood In Blood Out, American Me and Training Day, portraying gang life not as something to glorify, but as a reflection of broken lives that can be transformed through hope and redemption.

Today, Diaz continues that commitment through his service with Homeboy Industries, the world’s largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program. He serves on the Advisory Board of Homeboy Media, the organization’s film and media initiative dedicated to creating pathways into the entertainment industry for formerly gang-involved and formerly incarcerated individuals.

Founded in Los Angeles in 1988, Homeboy Industries provides hope, healing and opportunity through job training, education, mental health services, tattoo removal, legal assistance and workforce development, helping thousands of men and women rebuild their lives with dignity and purpose.

Through Homeboy Media, Diaz is helping develop filmmaking programs that provide career training and job placement for roles both in front of and behind the camera while producing films and television projects that reflect the organization’s philosophy of kinship, redemption and hope.

«Ken has never separated his faith from his profession,» Murillo said. «Whether mentoring young artists, helping tell authentic stories on screen, or creating opportunities for men and women rebuilding their lives after incarceration, he has consistently used his God-given talents to serve others. That lifelong commitment to faith, family and second chances makes him the ideal inaugural recipient of this award.»

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — August 5, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — New global research* from Velo highlights the growing need for shared experiences, as Velo launches “Echoes of Tomorrowland” – a global network of live events and synchronised livestreams that bring the magical experience of Tomorrowland to fans around the world.

The campaign is backed by new research* that found that almost two in five adults (39%) say building meaningful connections has become harder with age. This is driven by a range of factors, including difficulty in finding people with the same interests (28%), feeling awkward (27%) fear of rejection (24%), and a fear of being judged (21%).

Velo, the leading nicotine pouch brand in Europe** made for true originals, and Tomorrowland together believe the ultimate catalyst for breaking down these barriers is the music itself. The physical dancefloor acts as a powerful space for connection, driven by its unique role in self-expression. 30% of respondents agree the dancefloor is where they feel most able to show up as their authentic selves and «dance like nobody’s watching”, while 61% feel more comfortable expressing themselves when they see others doing the same. This leads to meaningful connections, with 27% of 25-35 year olds agreeing that friendships made at live music or cultural events are more genuine than those formed in other social settings.

With many fans unable to attend Tomorrowland in person, Velo brought the festival’s energy, culture, and community beyond. And to prove that self-expression is contagious, the campaign kicked off with a bespoke social experiment at the Tomorrowland Store in Ibiza where guests were handed a beautifully crafted physical butterfly half and challenged to find a stranger holding the other half to complete the butterfly. This interactive social experiment instantly turned a room of strangers into an active, collaborative community.

The event, which took place on Friday 17th July, was headlined by Ukrainian house and techno DJ, Korolova, and featured a livestream from Tomorrowland’s mainstage. Recreating Tomorrowland’s unique culture of spontaneous community, Velo welcomed a mix of consumer fans alongside hosted media from the UK and Spain, and lifestyle and music creators flown in from all corners of the globe.

Through connected “Echo” events in Ibiza and others – featuring live stages, synchronised streams, and DJ sets – “Echoes of Tomorrowland” creates a unique space and opportunity for dance music fans to fully express themselves and experience something new together.

Reflecting on the unique energy of the night, global DJ headliner Korolova said: «The dancefloor is one of the few places where people feel completely free to express who they are without judgment. That’s the energy I felt throughout the night in Ibiza, thanks to Velo – it was incredible to watch everyone let go, show up as their true selves, and celebrate their originality together.»

Supporting artist Camden Cox added: «What stayed with me from the night was watching total strangers connect so easily through a shared experience. Sometimes all people need is a small invitation to start a conversation, and seeing the crowd use the physical butterflies to break the ice and dance together was pure magic.»

Malky Brown, Global Head of Content & Partnerships at BAT, commented: “With ‘Echoes of Tomorrowland’, we wanted to recreate the sense of connection that makes the festival so special. By encouraging people to step outside their comfort zones and connect with others, we brought to life Velo’s belief that self-expression can bring people closer together.”

NEW YORK, NY – August 3, 2026 – (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) – Your brain works hard for you, so it’s only fair to return the favor by practicing simple everyday habits to keep this important organ strong and thriving.

Start by tweaking your daily routine to focus on these four habits.

Prioritize Sleep

Getting quality sleep is vital for proper brain function. If you find you’ve slipped into the habit of staying up later than you should or notice your sleep being disrupted during the night, those are signs to revisit your sleep hygiene practices. Start by establishing a regular bedtime and wake-up time that will give you the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep. Turn your bedroom into a comfortable refuge from the world – keep it cool and dark, and set up fans or noise machines if you need them to quiet your mind. Avoid consuming caffeine or alcohol too close to bedtime and try switching to a book instead of a screen when it’s time to wind down.

Eat Smart

Just like the rest of the body, the brain is nourished by food. Some of its favorite foods are options rich in healthy fats like fish, avocado, olive oil and nuts, as well as vegetables like leafy greens, which offer carotenoids, and fruits such as grapes, which deliver antioxidants and other polyphenols.

Combine several of these powerful brain-boosting foods at once with this California Grape and Sardine Avocado Toast recipe. The fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and the avocado offers a boost of healthy unsaturated fat, while the grapes add protective dietary flavonols, which may help promote anti-inflammatory and beneficial antioxidant activity.

A study published in the scientific journal “Neurology” found a higher intake of certain flavonols – including three naturally found in grapes – is associated with a 48% decreased risk of developing Alzheimer dementia.

Get Moving

Adding even more proof that what’s good for your body is good for your mind, getting regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for your brain. Motivate yourself by choosing a form of movement you genuinely enjoy, whether it’s a daily walk on a nearby nature trail, a dance class, a bike ride or a heart-pumping workout video.

Challenge Your Mind

Don’t forget to give your brain its own workout, too. Doing something mentally stimulating every day is a great way to keep yourself sharp, and there are plenty of ideas to choose from. Try learning a new language, picking up a musical instrument, playing a mind-engaging card or board game, doing a puzzle, reading a book or immersing yourself in a creative writing or art project. The options are nearly endless, and if you want to make your brain extra happy, you can snack on handfuls of grapes as you enjoy your hobby.

MIAMI, FL — July 24, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Renowned clinical psychotherapist, author, and international speaker, Dr. Gina Goldfeder, announces the launch of her latest literary and scientific work, En un sueño cabe tu vida: El método LiberaSueña para la transformación personal (Your Life Fits Inside a Dream: The LiberaSueña Method for Personal Transformation), published by Bienestur / Hachette Livre. Backed by more than three decades of clinical practice working with individuals and couples, Dr. Goldfeder offers a profound and innovative blueprint to step off «autopilot» and turn the world of dreams into a compass for inner healing.

Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Universidad Anáhuac, a Master’s and Doctorate in Individual and Couples Therapy from the Instituto Mexicano de la Pareja (AMETEP), and a Master’s in Creative Writing from the University of Salamanca, Dr. Goldfeder seamlessly combines the analytical rigor of Jungian psychology with modern self-observation tools.

Dr. Goldfeder’s published works reflect a prolific career in human development. Key titles and literary contributions include:

• En un sueño cabe tu vida: El método LiberaSueña para la transformación personal (2026, Bienestur)

• Al unísono (In Unison – Collective Work, 2024)
• Mujer: técnica mixta (Woman: Mixed Media – Literary Anthology)

Her latest work introduces the LiberaSueña Method, a structured six-step methodology that integrates dream symbol analysis, active imagination, intuition, and therapeutic writing to decode emotional wounds and transform them into scars of wisdom.

«Your dreams already know the way; this book teaches you how to walk it. In an era dominated by rush and instant answers, stepping into dream territory means unlocking the soul’s most intimate language,» states Dr. Goldfeder, who has collaborated with global leaders in health and consciousness such as Joe Dispenza, Bruce Lipton, Brené Brown, Brian Weiss, and Marco Antonio Regil.

Ahead of her upcoming participation at the Miami Book Fair (November 15–22), Dr. Goldfeder will launch a U.S. Spanish-language media tour focusing on high-impact public topics: resilience, mental health, stress management, and practical tools for building healthy relationships.
