Monica Buchanan Shares Her Personal Journey in New Book, ‘Outsider: Making Sense of My Journey as a Survivor’

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Author and psychologist Monica Buchanan unveils her memoir, "Outsider: Making Sense of My Journey as a Survivor," (IBSN: 978-0228891673; September, 2023) which offers readers an introspective look at her life experiences and her path to overcoming adversity. The book, published by Tellwell, is scheduled to be available on Amazon and other online book retailers.

In "Outsider," Monica Buchanan takes readers through her life growing up in Jamaica and navigating the challenges of abuse and neglect during her formative years. This narrative invites readers to reflect on their own life experiences as Buchanan shares her survival story and the enduring impact of early childhood abuse and neglect on her adult life.

Buchanan's memoir is a testament to resilience and personal growth. She emphasizes that the scars of childhood abuse and neglect do not necessarily lead to a lifetime of pain and suffering. "Outsider" offers hope to those who have experienced the feeling of not belonging within their own families, providing a path to healing and forgiveness.

"Even though as a young child I was told I was the problem, I knew intuitively that I did not cause all my problems. I now know that what happened to me within the context of familial (and other) relationships had a name-emotional abuse and neglect," says Buchanan, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and addressing such experiences.

Monica Buchanan holds a PhD in psychology, along with master's and bachelor's degrees in Women's Studies. After a successful career in counseling, psychotherapy, and coaching, she now follows her passion and lives a purposeful lifestyle.

The Hyde Park Homes Tour Showcases Century-Old Homes this October

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Five historic homes and one historic stone chapel, will open their doors for tours during the biennial Hyde Park Historic Homes Tour. The Tour hosted by The Hyde Park Neighborhood Association (HPNA) will be held Saturday, October 1 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

The biennial tour showcases the architectural diversity and unique character of historic Hyde Park, which is nestled in the heart of midtown Kansas City, conveniently located between the Plaza and Crown Center.

TOUR HOMES INCLUDE:

* 3341 Campbell Street, a unique modification of a traditional Kansas City Shirtwaist style home. Built in 1904 by the Cowherd Bros., it was at one time owned by Abraham Rheinstrom. After WWII, this home was turned into rooms for rent, but it is now, once again, a single-family home.

* 819 E. 31st Street, is a two story live-work space. The home's first floor is dedicated work and play space and includes the homeowner's office, collector car space, and a golf simulator. The second floor is a soaring modern style space built for entertaining.

* 2 Janssen Place, an Italianate Revival built in 1905 by lumber businessman John Henry Tschudy. Interior woodwork features eleven different woods. The current owners bought the home in 1985 and have done an extensive restoration, for which they received a special Preservation Award from the Historic Kansas City Foundation in 1994. The home has also been featured by Hallmark on holiday cards.

* 4343 Campbell Street, a Kansas City shirtwaist built in 1900. The home was formerly the Rockingham Academy for girls, where Joan Crawford attended and lived from 1919-1922. The home was derelict for decades until recently when it was renovated and restored to its former glory.

* 4346 Harrison Street, a stately 1908 brick home featuring original and unique millwork throughout. The home has been renovated and features a large kitchen with wraparound island and a third floor primary bedroom suite.

* 3801 Gillham Road, Pilgrim Chapel and its parsonage house were built in 1941 and 1942. The structure is stone with exposed stone interior walls and timber trusses.

Climate-controlled shuttle buses transport visitors to each stop on the Saturday tour.

To purchase tour tickets, priced from $15 to $20, visit the tour's Eventbrite page at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hyde-park-homes-tour-tickets-403757909777

"When you visit Hyde Park, the personality of the homes and the people who live in them show our neighborhood spirit," said Angie Splittgerber, HPNA's president. "We are constantly evolving as a community, and yet, we are anchored by the desire to preserve these amazing historic homes."

In 2013, the Historic Kansas City Foundation recognized The Hyde Park Homes Tour with a Community Catalyst Preservation Award for the contribution the Tour made to the reinvestment and revitalization of a historic neighborhood. The HPNA is a 501 (c)3 not for profit corporation.

This project is supported in part by the City of Kansas City, Missouri Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund.

Celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month with Bourbon & Banter’s 30 Days of Bourbon Event

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- In its ninth year, Bourbon & Banter's annual "30 Days of Bourbon Celebration" kicks off on September 1, 2022, marking the beginning of Bourbon Heritage Month. And, bourbon fans are quite simply beside themselves.

This sip-and-salute celebration of National Bourbon Heritage Month commemorates that auspicious moment on August 7, 2007 when the U.S. Senate declared September - National Bourbon Heritage Month. Why bourbon? Because it's the nation's native spirit - served straight up, on the rocks or in a cocktail and Bourbon & Banter has something new in store for each day of this celebratory month.

Visit: https://30daysofbourbon.com/ to find out what's planned.

If bourbon fans like what they see, Bourbon & Banter hopes that they'll share the page with their friends and invite them to join in on the fun. After all - drinking bourbon with friends is just more fun. Fabulous prizes are all part of the deal too.

Thanks to more than 20 generous distillery partners, Bourbon & Banter will raffle off multiple prize packages of swag and products. Leading this year's celebration are Breckenridge Distillery (Colorado); and Michter's Distillery (Kentucky) reflecting the spirit's popularity across the country.

Fans also can win prizes from Wyoming Whiskey, Milam & Greene Whiskey, Leiper's Fork Distillery, Laws Whiskey House, Blue Run, KO Distilling, Rabbit Hole Distillery and more.

In addition to prizes and swag, several lucky winners will receive a free membership to join Bourbon & Banter's innovative DrinkCurious community. And, DrinkCurious members will receive discounted access to unique, single-barrel bourbons, distillery swag, access to invite-only, virtual and in-person events, and more.

"We are the perfect community for bourbon lovers," Patrick "Pops" Garrett says.

There's a 30-day bourbon challenge too. To complete this deep dive into "drinking curious," participants must drink a different bourbon daily for the entire month. Not hard, right? Well, there is one rule - each day competitors need to drink a distinctly different bourbon, and sticking to that for a full month may prove to be quite the challenge after all. Different proof versions of the same bourbon don't count; and no repeats. Rye whiskey, Scotch or American malt whiskey are not allowed. It's all about the bourbon.

"But of course, supplementary sips of them are just fine," Garrett jokes.

Bourbon & Banter encourages people to share photos on their social media channels because they want to see what people are drinking. They're asking that competitors share their progress via updated calendars and photos on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, with the hashtags #30DaysOfBourbon #BourbonHeritageMonth and #DrinkCurious.

Bourbon fans can visit: https://30daysofbourbon.com/ to learn more.

About Bourbon & Banter:

Since 2011, Bourbon & Banter has spread the bourbon gospel. Through their shared love of bourbon, they've met new people, swapped stories and even starred in a few of their own. With a colorful cast of characters ranging from professional palates and cocktail connoisseurs to casual drinkers and bottom-shelf buyers, their collective mission is unanimous - to help others #drinkcurious.

"So, pull up a chair and let the banter begin," Garrett says.

New Frontier adds Women’s Health Services

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics now offers diagnostic ultrasounds for Women's Health (OB/GYN), adding to the scope of on-site imaging capabilities available to patients. Access to Women's Health services is a critical factor in the health of women, regardless of child-bearing status.

According to a 2019 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation, women seeking basic gynecological care incur significantly greater health care costs (84% higher for ages 18-44, 21% higher for 45 and older) and are more likely to go without care because of cost.

During pregnancies, studies have shown that limited access to care can result in negative outcomes including premature birth, low birth weight, maternal mortality, severe maternal morbidity, and an increased risk of postpartum depression.

"By bringing affordable, quality care on-site, New Frontier hopes to eliminate some of the challenges that women face when seeking healthcare," said Jeff Blackwood, Founder of New Frontier. "Your zip code, race, and income shouldn't be the primary factors determining the quality of care you receive. We want to make these services available to women where they need it, when they need it."

In addition to Women's Health services, New Frontier continues to serve doctor's offices, clinics, and facilities with on-site diagnostic imaging for cardiac, vascular, and general ultrasound services.

For more information on New Frontier Mobile Diagnostics and its services, please contact Jeff Blackwood at info@newfrontiermd.com.

Jaiimoni Starr releases single ‘Stop and I Go,’ launching career at age 16

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Jaiimoni Starr, who sung solo songs and performed praise dances at church, and began her career doing cover raps, launches her first professional rap single with "Stop and I Go." She is 16.

Starr presented her first solo rap at East St. Louis Senior High School for a Black history program, and ever since her goal has been to express herself through music.

"The song was 'Glory,' by artists John Legend and Common. This is when I first realized I have rhythm and an interest in rapping," Starr writes on her website.

Since entering high school, she says, "I have experienced more complex things about life ... my writing style became deeper and more from a place of positivity, pain, eagerness, and venting. I wrote from what I felt because I wanted people to understand who I was through the songs I wrote.

"I aspire to teach young women that music doesn't always have to be portrayed in a negative and degrading way, also that you can get a message across and still sound or appear cool. I've learned that music can have a positive and negative effect on our generation, and its vibrations."

With an understanding of phrasing and song craft beyond her years, "she has an ease and flow in her writing and performing like she has been rapping for a long time," Martinez Robinson, Co-manager at Daugherty Entertainment said.

Allen Daugherty, Daugherty Entertainment, is managing the artist. Sham, one half of the Grammy award-winning duo the TrakStarz who discovered St. Louis music artist Chingy, and has worked with artists including Ludacris, 2chainz, Janet Jackson, & Usher, has teamed up with new production partner Virus, who toured alongside of Beyoncé, to produce the single.

Equity Distribution, created by Jay-Z, is a global music-distribution platform that allows artists to retain ownership of their masters and has signed a distribution deal with Starr and Daugherty Ent.

"We're really excited for Jaiimoni, she's an enormous talent and this break out for her is huge," Daugherty said.

Revolutionary Restroom Organizer Protects Purses and Phones at Stalls and Urinals

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Increased awareness of germs and bacteria has changed our behavior regarding contact and hygiene. These changes are notable regarding the use of commercial restrooms, which 60% of Americans visit at least once a week. One of the top complaints of shared restrooms is the risk of subjecting one's personal belongings to germs, damage, and theft. This means every day, millions of people are entering a vulnerable space without convenient protection for their phones, purses, and other personal belongings. StallStash, a restroom partition shelf, improves the safety and comfort of restroom visits by keeping belongings clean, close, and safe.

"Today, 42% of us are more concerned about using a public restroom than we were 18 months ago," says Robert Kodner, president of StallStash. "In addition to sanitary issues, we know that the average cost of a cell phone is $580, and a typical purse contains $720 worth of items."

Kodner continues, "For many of us, using a public restroom is a 'necessary evil.' By offering a solution that allows restroom visitors to keep their belongings safe and clean, we are able to improve the restroom experience for everyone. As an added benefit, 64% of us will frequent a business based on the fact it has clean restrooms."

StallStash units attach easily to all standard restroom partitions (without tools or hardware), and are made of 100% plexiglass. StallStash units are engineered to protect cell phones, purses, laptops, wallets, backpacks, and briefcases.

Fran Kaiser, a property manager at Century Management in California, says, "When one of our tenants asked us to find a way to help keep purses, phones, and files off the bathroom floor, we knew just the standard hooks would not do. I searched high and low and nothing would fit their needs until we found StallStash. I now use them in our restrooms. They have held up to the usage, and we could not be happier with the product."

StallStash is designed for all public and commercial restrooms. StallStash clients include medical facilities, restaurants, commercial buildings, shopping centers, event spaces, schools, fitness centers, stadiums, venues, transportation terminals, places of worship, and popular attractions.
