2025 World Police and Fire Games Brings Visitors and Best of Birmingham

By Sym Posey | The Birmingham Times

DJ Mackovets, CEO of the Birmingham Host Committee for the 2025 World Police and Fire Games, June 27 through July 6, said the Games are not just important for visitors around the globe but the city as well.

“Birmingham is a city that a lot of people haven’t had a chance to visit. Certainly [not] internationals. I think they will be very surprised with the welcoming nature of the community,” Mackovets said. “One of the many reasons why we were selected to host these games was the quality of good venues, the variety of good hotels, great restaurants, an easy airport for people to get in and out of, and the experience of doing these kinds of events.  This community is very sports- and events-oriented.”

The games are expected to bring an estimated $65 million in economic impact to the Birmingham area.

Mackovets, who has lived in Alabama for the last seven years, would know. He has been involved with a variety of major events across the country during past decades including CEO of the Local Organizing Committee for The World Games 2022 in Birmingham.

“I was involved in the bidding process from the very beginning, which started in the summer of 2018 up until now,” said Mackovets about BHM 2025 WPFG, adding the thing he looks forward to the most coming out of the games is continuing to work on building the relationships between first responders in our community.

“They serve us every day. It’s a challenging role for a lot of reasons. We really have pushed hard to see first responders from Alabama participate in their own games here,” he said. “In 2023 when the games were in Winnipeg, Canada, there was one Alabama athlete registered, and now we’re at almost 570 first responders from the state of Alabama.”

BHM 2025 WPFG will host more than 8,500 first responders from nearly 80 countries in 1,600 medal events who are current and retired public agency personnel. The opening ceremony is 6 p.m. on June 27 in Legacy Arena at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex. The closing ceremony is at 4:30 p.m. on July 6 at the Athletes’ Village at City Walk.

In between, competition will span central Alabama. From swimming, toughest competitor alive and indoor volleyball at Birmingham CrossPlex, to jiu jitsu, judo, karate, taekwondo, wrestling at Birmingham’s Boutwell Auditorium, to boxing at Alabama Theater to cycling criterium at Talladega Superspeedway and 31 more sports.

The Games of Heroes, as they’re sometimes called, features more than 60 sports across more than 30 venues around Birmingham and central Alabama.

Kathy Boswell, a Birmingham native, who currently serves as SVP, Community & People Engagement, for the Fire and Police Games said the games are a chance to celebrate the city as well.

“We need to celebrate the fact that people are coming here,” said Boswell, who served as a volunteer for the 2022 World Games. “This is something that represents all of us. It is not a pass or fail just on Birmingham. It is a reflection of us as a community I don’t know how many times we are going to keep getting things to prove this.

“When we come together collectively, and really put all those divides, aside Alabama does some darn good things.”

She pointed to the fan response from the [2022] World Games which “helped put us on a national stage to be recognized as one of the greatest cities to be able to visit,” she said. “The Magic City Hospitality is real. It is good. It is like any other city. Everything is not perfect, but it is a lot to be proud of.”

One of the biggest differences between The World Games and WPFG is people can simply play in a sport, she said.

“They don’t have to qualify. Like, with the World Games, those athletes qualified. This is a non-sanctioned type of sporting event, so you don’t have to qualify to participate. Anybody that is considered eligible individual based on the criteria of the World Police and Fire Games Federation can participate.”

BHM 2025 WPFG will host more than 8,500 first responders from nearly 80 countries in 1,600 medal events. Competitors are current and retired public agency personnel from across the globe. The opening ceremony is 6 p.m. on June 27 in Legacy Arena at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex. The closing ceremony is at 4:30 p.m. on July 6 at the Athletes’ Village at City Walk.

Developers Begin Construction on 50+ Houses in Pratt City During Homeownership Month

Site development began this week on a City of Birmingham partnership with National Community Reinvestment Coalition for the construction of 52 single family, affordable, and energy-efficient houses in the Pratt City subdivision of Shadow Brook.

Mayor Randall Woodfin

The project highlights the city’s authorization of $16.6 million in current investments in housing in Birmingham. Mayor Randall L. Woodfin’s administration has committed to creating 2,500 new affordable housing units.

The city is midway through that commitment, which includes not only new housing construction, but critical repairs and preservation of existing housing.

Construction is also underway on 16 single-family houses in the Woodlawn community and 27 houses in the Oak Hill subdivision of Belview Heights.

“The work underway in our city includes millions in investment for critical repair renovations for hundreds of families, down payment assistance enabling many families to buy their first home, and construction of additional single-family houses,” Mayor Woodfin said. ” This cannot be accomplished without the support of the council and the dedication of team members from several departments in the city working together to support the people of Birmingham.”

Mayor Woodfin and the Department of Community Development updated the city’s home ownership efforts with a proclamation recognizing Homeownership Month during the Tuesday, June 24, 2025 council meeting.

Alabama Native and Single Father Excels in U.S. Navy, Jiu-Jitsu

By Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Smith | U.S. Navy

Logistics Specialist (Submarine) 1st Class Deundhray Steele is rewriting the playbook on what it means to serve and succeed. From earning a hard-fought promotion to petty officer first class, to dominating on the international Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu mats – all while raising his child as a single father – Steele’s story is one of relentless hustle and heart.

Steele serves at Commander, Submarine Squadron (CSS) 11 in San Diego as a supply logistician to support the Pacific Fleet’s submarine operations. Hailing from Selma, Alabama, he joined the Navy in May 2017. Originally planning to be a legalman, he instead joined as a logistics specialist to establish a solid foundation for his life and family.

“I joined the Navy because I wanted to challenge myself and serve my country in a meaningful way,” Steele shared. “The Navy offers endless opportunities for growth, both professionally and personally, and I was eager to be part of something bigger than myself.”

That commitment to growth was on display as Steele advanced to Logistics Specialist (Submarine) 1st Class, May 22, 2025. In fact, his promotion came only three days after he improved his international ranking from ninth to sixth as a blue belt in the International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation (IBJJF).

This continued drive for self-improvement and commitment to duty has helped him excel in the demanding environment of the Navy and on the mat. Steele also juggles the demands of Navy life with raising his child as a single parent, making his achievements even more remarkable.

“Being a parent motivates me every day to push harder. It’s not just about me anymore – I want to set an example of resilience and dedication for my family,” Steele said. “Every day, I wake up and strive to make my family but most importantly my daughter proud. Everything I do is with her in my heart.”

Steele’s journey into Brazilian jiu-jitsu began as him looking do something more competitive and relieve stress between deployments. First starting in October 2021, Steele also dove into the martial art as a way to stay physically fit.

“I was introduced to jiu-jitsu by a fellow sailor who encouraged me to try it as a way to relieve stress and feed the competitive drive inside,” Steele explained. “What started as a hobby quickly became a passion. The discipline and technique required in jiu-jitsu mirror many aspects of Navy life and competing internationally has taught me valuable lessons about perseverance and resilience.”

In just a few short years, Steele has grown from a jiu-jitsu novice to ranking in the top 10 for the Blue Belt Ultra Heavyweight Division. During his first competition, he placed second while wearing the gi (a traditional training uniform in jiu-jitsu) and first without the gi. He has stayed motivated to enjoy this continued success ever since.

“Jiu-jitsu is going great,” he said. “It brings me so much happiness and pride being ranked in the top 10. It is an accomplishment for something I found a new love for, and it’s an effective way to relieve stress and fuel that competitive drive.”

As he continues his Navy career, Steele hopes to inspire others to pursue their goals both inside and outside the service. His success in promotion, martial arts and fatherhood exemplifies the drive and determination that define the Navy’s sailors.

“For whatever you decide to do, do it with purpose and confidence,” he said. “Find something you love and strive to be perfect at it.”

Commander, Submarine Squadron (CSS) 11 is headquartered at Naval Base Point Loma, California, and reports to Commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet. CSS-11 provides training, material and personnel readiness support for the medium auxiliary floating dry dock ARCO (ARDM 5), Undersea Rescue Command (URC), and four Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarines capable of supporting various missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-ship warfare, strike warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Stellar Gospel Artists and Choirs Take Root in Birmingham, Alabama

When Cameron Little was recently announced as a nominee for Best New Artist at the 2025 Gospel Sounds Music Awards (GSMA) he described the moment as surreal.

“My initial reaction to the news of my nomination was one of sheer astonishment,” Little said. “It served as a powerful reminder that all the hard work, dedication, and resources invested in my music journey are truly worthwhile.

“Above all, I attribute this achievement to God, whose guidance and support have been instrumental in my progress.”

Cameron Little

As excitement builds for the GSMA event this August, Little said this is only the beginning.

“Fans can count on me to stay true to my passion, regardless of the outcome,” he said. “I will continue to nurture the gifts and anointing in my life.”

His upcoming single, “Do It For Me 2.0,” features viral gospel talent Bre Holly. Little is also inviting supporters to connect with him in person during Stellar Weekend, also known as the “Stellars Plus Experience,” a three-day celebration leading up to the Stellar Gospel Music Awards. The event features concerts, panels, fan events, and worship experiences honoring gospel music and culture in August.

Little will also be touring with Vincent Bohanan, a celebrated gospel artist from New York, known for his powerful choir arrangements and heartfelt songwriting, throughout the summer.

Chyenne Massey & Du Praize:

Chyenne Massey describes himself as a “choir head for years” and considered forming his own choir. But it wasn’t until 2019 when he saw Dr. Ricky Dillard, director of New G, a gospel choir known for uplifting messages that inspire worshippers around the world, that Massey began to consider his goal seriously.

Chyenne with his mother.

“Watching him direct New G was amazing,” Chyenne recalled. “Everything that he does earns him the nickname, ‘Choirmaster.’”

That same year, a gospel panel featuring Dr. Dorinda Clark-Cole, a Grammy-winning gospel singer, evangelist, and member of the legendary Clark Sisters, confirmed his calling. “She asked, ‘Are you starting the choir for yourself or for the ministry?’ That question stuck with me,” he said.

Launching Du Praize in 2020 came with trials, Massey said. Despite limited support and a small roster — only three sopranos, two altos, and Chyenne and his father alternating tenor — the choir’s debut during a benefit concert was a breakthrough.

“I was nervous,” Massey admitted. “But people came up to me saying, ‘Oh, you guys were wonderful,’ or ‘That is my favorite song.’ Those comments reassured me.” The pandemic halted progress, but Chyenne never gave up.

“The songs I sing may minister to me, but I have to minister to others,” he said. A recent impromptu performance at New Hope Baptist Church in Birmingham of “Yes, God is Real” was a testament to that spirit-led mission. “Everyone was on their feet singing along with me,” he pointed out. “We have to give the people the right message.”

Massey was influenced early on by gospel giants like Hezekiah Walker, Walter Hawkins, and John P. Kee, and said his passion took root at Fairfield High Preparatory School. Massey recently received a Community Choir of the Year nomination from Gospel Sound Music Awards.

“To be nominated alongside some of the greatest choirs in the country is an honor,” he said. “Only what you do for Christ will last. He’s gonna get what He deserves, because He gives me what I don’t deserve.”

Warriors of Worship

For Bruce Henderson Jr., a.k.a. Bruce Jr., the founder of The Warriors of Worship (WOW), choir music is more than just harmony — it’s a divine assignment.

“God spoke to me to branch out and do ministry beyond the choir loft,” Bruce Jr. said. That divine prompting led to the formation of WOW in 2016, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to music ministry, education, and community outreach. “We don’t just sing — we serve,” he added, emphasizing WOW’s mission to blend worship with impact.

Bruce Henderson Jr.

The inspiration to lead a choir began early.

“My grandmother and mother both served in music ministry,” he recalled. “I grew up as the church baby and sang in music ministries with my grandmother. She was my first inspiration.”

This legacy was strengthened through the Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA), where leadership skills in music ministry were nurtured. WOW made its debut on January 1, 2017, at Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in North Pratt.

“The road hasn’t always been easy, but God has been faithful,” he said. Since then, WOW has toured cities like Mobile, Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas, performed alongside Grammy Award-winning artists like who Lyle Lovett at the Lyric Theatre, and released several music projects that garnered award nominations.

“We were nominated for nine rhythm of Gospel Awards in 2018 and 2023 where we won Community Choir of the Year and Best Male Artist of the Year,” he said.

Keeping the choir spiritually grounded is a cornerstone of WOW’s longevity.

“Not only do we have rehearsals and concerts, but we have Bible study, Friday night fellowships, and weekend outings to bond,” Bruce Jr. explained. These moments strengthen their spiritual and emotional connection. As a nominee in the community choir category, he hopes the impact goes beyond trophies.

“I pray that the Gospel music community remembers to reach back and pull the next generation up and train them.”

Local Filmmaker ShyViell Rudolph Premieres ‘Birmingham: City of Soul’

By Sym Posey | The Birmingham Times

When writer, director, and content creator ShyViell “Shy” Rudolph began creating films eight years ago all she had was herself, her camera, and the city of Birmingham. That’s all she would need at the time to start a career that now includes eight films on Tubi and Amazon, including her latest Birmingham: City of Soul which premiered Tuesday night before a sold-out audience at the Sidewalk Theater in downtown Birmingham.

The film follows the main character Heaven as she struggles with ongoing violence in her hometown of Birmingham, and the way it affects her personal life.

‘It’s a movie centered around the violence that’s happening in the city and where it’s coming from and how people are actually trying to stop the violence to make it become a better place,” said Rudolph.

The film features several popular locations like historic Sixteenth Street Baptist Church as well as a cameo by LaDarrius “L. Hut” Hutcherson, popular social media influencer known for his content showcasing Birmingham restaurants and activities.

“I just had to have him (Hutcherson) … he is doing so much in the city. I had to put him in,” said Rudolph, who added it only took eight days to shoot the film.

The biggest takeaway from her film? “It’s so much better for us to be better together than at war against each other. It doesn’t solve anything,” she said.

Her goal is not only to bring awareness when creating movies but to also “shed light on the talent here in the city,” she said.

“The impact the city has made on me has been a very positive and encouraging due to the support and I want to encourage [local talent] by giving them motivation and a place to showcase their talents through film art and content.”

Rudolph, who has over 100 short films on YouTube as well as content on Instagram, Facebook, and Tik Tok, said she found her passion for filmmaking while attending Miles College.

“I did theater in college which sparked my interest in film. And from there, I started doing more plays and theater. Once I graduated in 2017, I was very interested in creating movies.  So, I bought my cameras, started writing scrips and just started to make my own movies.”

That same year, Rudolph said she made her first film titled “Family.”

She credits Miles College for “changing her life. Being there was a beautiful experience. I come from the streets. I come from the hood, so my mentality comes from that. When I went to college, it shifted my mindset. I was around people who were aiming to be successful. It motivated me to just want to be successful and surround myself with likeminded people versus just being in the hood hanging out doing nothing.”

Growing up in Bessemer, Rudolph said living near the city of Birmingham comes with its ups and downs.

“The city of Birmingham is a great place if you make it a great place … Birmingham means the soul of Alabama to me. If you can make it in Birmingham, you can make it anywhere.”

Asked how she would define her style of content she said, “authentic. I kind of do it all. I can do crime, suspense, but I mostly do drama. I like to inform. I like to do things that make you think differently or things that make you want to change for the better.”

Coca-Cola Amphitheater Timeline: Pulling Back The Curtain

The Birmingham Times

The City of Birmingham, the Jefferson County Commission, the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) and Live Nation, the huge live entertainment company, all began work nearly three years ago for what would become a $46 million amphitheater on Birmingham’s northside that would have an outdoor capacity of 9,380 for festivals, concerts and community events. It opened last week as scheduled and here’s a timeline of how it all came together.

October, 2022 — Jefferson County Commission President Jimmie Stephens announces during a work session that a proposed amphitheater that would anchor The Star at Uptown, the $300-million mixed-use development on the site of the former Carraway Hospital campus in North Birmingham. The project could be funded by $5 million contributions each from the county, the city of Birmingham, the BJCC, and Live Nation would operate the facility under a management agreement — along with a $30 million bond.

February, 2023 — The BJCC board of directors approves the purchase of 13.4 acres for the proposed $50-million, 9,000-seat The Star at Uptown amphitheater. The cost: $2.9 million — $4.97 per square foot, according to BJCC executive Director and CEO Tad Snider, who called the price “reasonable.” Included is a parking deck with 380 spaces (two other decks, owned by developer Corporate Realty, are across the street from the site).

In 2024, the BJCC, along with city officials and amphitheater operator Live Nation, broke ground to begin construction on a new 9,380-capacity amphitheater in Uptown. (Artist Rendering)

September, 2023 — The BJCC board and Live Nation reach an agreement for Live Nation to manage the amphitheater. This agreement, part of a 20-year operating agreement, includes a $5 million contribution from Live Nation towards the amphitheater’s construction. The amphitheater, which is owned by the BJCC, will be located in the Druid Hills neighborhood and is part of the Star Uptown redevelopment.

January, 2024 — The Birmingham City Council vacates 100,670 feet of right of way between 15th Avenue North and 17th Avenue North, and between 22nd Street North and 25th Street North, which will be part of the footprint of the planned amphitheater. “It will fit within the amphitheater site proper, right about where the seating plan is,” Snider said. That allows for the property to be consolidated as the construction site. The open-air amphitheater on 25th Street North adjacent to The Star development will sit on the 50-acre former campus of the now demolished Carraway Hospital.

June, 2024 — BJCC, city officials and amphitheater operator Live Nation, break ground to begin construction on the amphitheater. “This is a day that’s made possible by the hard work and commitment of so many individuals and leaders in our community,” Snider says. “We’re proud of the collective effort put into building a new entertainment venue that will serve local residents and give visitors yet another reason to come to Birmingham.”

November, 2024 — Ceremony held to name the long-planned amphitheater. The new Coca-Cola Amphitheater is scheduled to open June 2025 with more than 20 shows during the 2025 concert season, along with other special events. City, county and business leaders gather for the announcement. “We’re proud to support a venue that celebrates our community through the universal language of music,” said Mike Suco, president and CEO of Coca-Cola United. “Coca-Cola has always been about bringing people together and creating moments of happiness. We see the Coca-Cola Amphitheater as the perfect space to continue that tradition.”

May, 2025 — Northside community residents get their first look inside the amphitheater. “It’s going to be beautiful,” said Edward Eaton, vice-president of the Druid Hills, following a walk-through. “[Developers] seem to have a real good plan. So far, so good.” Eaton said he is pleased with how project organizers worked with residents. There was concern about how parking would impact streets and personal yards as well as the noise and acoustics when the concerts begin, he said. “Anything we’ve brought up they’ve addressed it so far,” he said. “Lighting, parking, we don’t want anybody blocking driveways — and getting sidewalks repaired. They seem to have a real good plan.”

June 20, 2025 — Grand opening held with residents and officials with the city, county, BJCC and Live Nation present.

“I’m looking forward to new people coming into our neighborhoods and learning what a wonderful community that we have here,” said Janet Maycock, Druid Hills Neighborhood Association. “So many people who live in this state have never been inside of Druid Hills neighborhood. … I’m excited about the economic development that this brings because there’s going to be so many more projects coming behind this.”

“It’s an exciting day for Birmingham,” said Mayor Randall Woodfin. “The Coca-Cola Amphitheater is bringing new entertainment to our city that will serve our residents, attract more visitors and bring new life to the Northside community. This new venue solidifies Birmingham’s growing reputation as an entertainment destination.”

June 22, 2025 — With thousands in attendance, the first official performance takes place headlined by comedian Matt Rife.
