LaGrange, GA, may be a small Southern city, but it is home to a voice making big waves. DeQuayvious Vadon, 29, is a rising cultural commentator and the co-creator of Goin’ In—a bold, no-holds-barred podcast he hosts alongside his friend and co-host, Go’ Boi.
The show, set to launch its official first season this month, is more than just entertainment; it is a space for unfiltered honesty, sharp humor, and powerful representation.
“Our goal is to talk about life and relationships the way people actually live them—messy, beautiful, complicated, and real,” Vadon says. “And we are doing that with the LGBTQ+ community front and center.”
With episodes planned around LGBTQ+ identity, relationship dynamics, mental health, and societal challenges, Goin’ In is part advice column, part confessional, and all heart. Vadon’s mission is crystal clear: create space where LGBTQ+ voices—especially those of Black and Brown queer folks—are not just welcomed but deeply respected.
“Visibility is only part of the work,” he says. “The real goal is making people feel seen. Truly seen. Like they matter. Like they’re protected.”
That protection, Vadon believes, is under threat.
“I am nervous,” he admits. “This new administration in the White House is bringing on pressure the LGBTQ+ community does not need. Especially our trans siblings, and even more…

Cienna Rose is a Yonkers native who is not asking for a spotlight. At 24, she has already created her own.
From her home in Tampa, she beams a message to nearly a quarter million followers across platforms: that trans joy, beauty, and brilliance are not exceptions — they are realities. “I contribute by living openly as a trans woman,” she says. “I strive to be the proof that nothing is unattainable — queer, gay, transgender — no matter what you identify as.”
A full-time content creator and social media activist, Rose has turned her journey into a movement. Her videos are not just aspirational — they are healing, raw, and unapologetically real. “Softness and strength can coexist,” she says. “I embody both.”
In 2025, she feels the LGBTQIA+ community has reached a new kind of visibility. “We are in the spotlight now — proudly, boldly, without apology,” Rose says. “There are so many beacons of trans and queer excellence.” She credits icons like Dominique Jackson, Amaya…

This Saturday, June 21st, with support from Stand With Crypto, blockchain education platform BronxCrypto and VTATV will host a free public workshop “Bronx Votes Crypto.” The event will focus on technology literacy, blockchain and digital asset education, and legislation to regulate the technology moving through Congress. To be held at the historic Westchester Square Library in the Bronx, the event can be accessed from anywhere through the metaverse here.
Julio Barrios, founder of BronxCrypto, said, “this event is about education, advocacy, and community empowerment — making sure the Bronx isn’t left out of the future of entrepreneurship, technology, and finance. We want our family and neighbors to not only understand crypto and its potential, but to have a voice in advocating for consumer protections and clear rules to govern it. With the CLARITY Act and the GENIUS Act, Congress is making important steps forward and everyone from Senator Schumer to Ritchie Torres to AOC must support these bills. We need all hands on deck. Let’s position the Bronx as a leader in blockchain knowledge and innovation.”
“The Bronx is voting crypto,” Barrios continued
Attendees will learn about key legislative efforts shaping the future of digital finance, including the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and policy developments under the Trump administration. The workshop aims to help residents understand how emerging technology intersects with economic opportunity and activism and advocacy.
The event will feature guest speakers JayConnects, Stu Kwan, Apollo, among others. In addition to informative programming, participants can look forward to crypto giveaways, NFT drops, and refreshments.
The first ten attendees will receive bonus merchandise and double the crypto drop.

The American League Central has emerged as one of baseball’s most competitive divisions in 2025, with four teams separated by just 8.5 games as of early June. The Kansas City Royals find themselves in fourth place with a 34-32 record, trailing the division-leading Detroit Tigers by 8.5 games.
While this positioning might suggest disappointment, the Royals remain firmly in the wild card conversation, sitting just 1.5 games out of a playoff spot.
Their season represents a complex mix of pitching excellence and offensive struggles that defines their competitiveness within a surprisingly deep division.
Current Division Landscape
The AL Central standings reveal a division where three teams hover around .500 while the Tigers have separated themselves as the clear frontrunner. Detroit’s 44-25 record (.638 winning percentage) represents the best mark in the division by a significant margin.
The Twins, Guardians, and Royals occupy the middle tier with remarkably similar records, each posting win percentages between .516 and .540. Meanwhile, the White Sox continue their historically poor campaign with a 21-43 record, on pace for another disastrous season following their 121-loss 2024 campaign.
This four-team race for playoff positioning has created an environment where every series carries significant implications for postseason hopes.
Offensive Production Comparison
Kansas City’s offensive struggles represent their most significant challenge in 2025, as they rank fourth in the division with just 3.41 runs per…
