Some U.S. Companies Are Pulling Back on Diversity Initiatives. Here’s How They’re Retreating

0
A push to boycott Target has gained momentum since the retail giant announced it would discontinue its initiatives following the Trump Administration’s rollback of federal DEI programs. (Wikipedia)

By The Associated Press

A number of prominent companies have scaled back or set aside the diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that much of corporate America endorsed following the protests that accompanied the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd, a Black man, in 2020.

The changes have come in response to a campaign by conservative activists to target workplace programs in the courts and social media, and more recently, President Donald Trump’s executive orders aimed at rooting out DEI policies in both the federal government and private sector.

DEI policies typically are intended to root out systemic barriers to the advancement of historically marginalized groups in certain fields or roles. Critics argue that some education, government and business programs are discriminatory because they single out participants based on factors such as race, gender and sexual orientation. They have targeted corporate sponsorships, employee-led affinity groups, programs aimed at steering contracts to minority or women-owned businesses, and goals that some companies established for increasing minority representation in leadership ranks.

Last week, the NAACP said it wants Black Americans to steer their buying power toward companies that haven’t pulled back from diversity, equity and inclusion programs under conservative pressure, and the nation’s oldest civil rights organization is listing which brands have stood by — or reversed — past commitments to DEI.

The NAACP says DEI initiatives promote the social and economic advancement of Black Americans, who are projected to consume nearly $2 trillion in goods and services in nominal dollars by 2030, according to the McKinsey Institute for Black Economic Mobility.

“Diversity is better for the bottom line,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said in an exclusive announcement to The Associated Press. “In a global economy, those who reject the multicultural nature of consumerism and business will be left in the past they are living in.”

These are some of the companies that have retreated from DEI:

Google

Google rescinded a goal it had set in 2020 to increase representation of underrepresented groups among the company’s leadership team by 30 percent within five years. In a memo to employees, the company also said it was considering other changes in response to Trump’s executive order aimed at prohibiting federal contractors from conducting DEI practices that constitute “illegal discrimination.”

It is illegal under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to take race or gender into account when making hiring or promotion decisions in most circumstances. Companies have said their efforts are not hiring quotas but aspirational goals they try to achieve through policies like widening candidate pools and rooting out bias in the hiring process. But critics have said such publicly stated goals, along with other DEI policies, pressure hiring managers to make decisions based on race or gender.

Google’s parent company Alphabet also signaled things were changing in its annual 10-K report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The report dropped a boilerplate sentence it has used since 2020 declaring that the company is “committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do and to growing a workforce that is representative of the users we serve.”

Target

The retailer said that changes to its “Belonging at the Bullseye” strategy would include ending a program it established to help Black employees build meaningful careers, improve the experience of Black shoppers and to promote Black-owned businesses following Floyd’s death in Minneapolis, where Target has its headquarters.

Target, which operates nearly 2,000 stores nationwide and employs more than 400,000 people, said it also would conclude the diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, goals it previously set in three-year cycles.

The goals included hiring and promoting more women and members of racial minority groups, and recruiting more diverse suppliers, including businesses owned by people of color, women, LGBTQ+ people, veterans and people with disabilities.

Target also will no longer participate in surveys designed to gauge the effectiveness of its actions, including an annual index compiled by the Human Rights Campaign, a national LGBTQ+ rights organization. Target also said it would further evaluate corporate partnerships to ensure they’re connected directly to business objectives, but declined to share details.

Meta Platforms

The parent company of Facebook and Instagram said it was getting rid of its diversity, equity and inclusion program, which featured policies for hiring, training and picking vendors.

Like other companies that announced similar changes before Meta, the social media giant said it had been reviewing the program since the Supreme Court’s July 2023 affirmative action ruling.

Citing an internal memo sent to employees, news website Axios said the Menlo Park, California-based tech giant concluded the ruling signaled “a shift in how courts will approach DEI.”

Meta said it would no longer have a team focused on diversity and inclusion and will instead “focus on how to apply fair and consistent practices that mitigate bias for all, no matter your background.”

The change means the company will also end its “diverse slate approach” to hiring, which involved considering a diverse pool of candidates for every open position.

Joel Kaplan, Meta’s freshly appointed global policy chief, told Fox News Digital that the move will ensure that the company is “building teams with the most talented people” instead of making hiring decisions based on protected characteristics.

Amazon

Amazon said it was halting some of its DEI programs, although it did not specify which ones. In a Dec. 16 memo to employees, Candi Castleberry, a senior human resources executive, said the company has been “winding down outdated programs and materials, and we’re aiming to complete that by the end of 2024.”

“We also know there will always be individuals or teams who continue to do well-intentioned things that don’t align with our company-wide approach, and we might not always see those right away. But we’ll keep at it,” she wrote.

Rather than “have individual groups build programs,” Castleberry said, Amazon is “focusing on programs with proven outcomes – and we also aim to foster a more truly inclusive culture.”

McDonald’s

Four years after launching a push for more diversity in its ranks, McDonald’s said earlier this month that it is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

McDonald’s said on Jan. 6 that it will retire specific goals for achieving diversity at senior leadership levels. It also intends to end a program that encourages its suppliers to develop diversity training and to increase the number of minority group members represented within their own leadership ranks.

McDonald’s said it will also pause “external surveys.” The burger giant didn’t elaborate, but several other companies have suspended their participation in an annual survey by the Human Rights Campaign that measures workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees.

In an open letter to employees and franchisees, McDonald’s senior leadership team said it remained committed to inclusion and believes that having a diverse workforce is a competitive advantage.

Walmart

The world’s largest retailer confirmed in November that it would not be renewing a five-year commitment to an equity racial center set up in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd, and that it would stop participating in the HRC’s Corporate Equality Index.

Walmart also said it will better monitor its third-party marketplace to make sure items sold there do not include products aimed at LGBTQ+ minors, including chest binders intended for transgender youth.

Additionally, the company will no longer consider race and gender as a litmus test to improve diversity when it offers supplier contracts and it won’t be gathering demographic data when determining financing eligibility for those grants.

Ford

CEO Jim Farley sent a memo to the automaker’s employees in August outlining changes to the company’s DEI policies, including a decision to stop taking part in HRC’s Corporate Equality Index.

Ford, he wrote, had been looking at its policies for a year. The company doesn’t use hiring quotas or tie compensation to specific diversity goals but remains committed to “fostering a safe and inclusive workplace,” Farley said.

“We will continue to put our effort and resources into taking care of our customers, our team, and our communities versus publicly commenting on the many polarizing issues of the day,” the memo said.

Lowe’s

In August, Lowe’s executive leadership said the company began “reviewing” its programs following the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling and decided to combine its employee resource groups into one umbrella organization. Previously, the company had “individual groups representing diverse sections of our associate population.”

The retailer also will no longer participate in the HRC index, and will stop sponsoring and participating in events, such as festivals and parades, that are outside of its business areas.

Harley-Davidson

In a post on X in August, Harley-Davidson said the company would review all sponsorships and organizations it was affiliated with, and that all would have to be centrally approved. It said the company would focus exclusively on growing the sport of motorcycling and retaining its loyal riding community, in addition to supporting first responders, active military members and veterans.

The motorcycle maker said it would no longer participate in the ranking of workplace equality compiled by the Human Rights Campaign, and that its trainings would be related to the needs of the business and absent of socially motivated content.

Harley-Davidson also said it does not have hiring quotas and would no longer have supplier diversity spending goals.

Brown-Forman

The parent company of Jack Daniels also pulled out from participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, among other changes. Its leaders sent an email to employees in August saying the company launched its diversity and inclusion strategy in 2019, but since then “the world has evolved, our business has changed, and the legal and external landscape has shifted dramatically.”

The company said it would remove its quantitative workforce and supplier diversity ambitions, ensure incentives and employee goals were tied to business performance, and review training programs for consistency with a revised strategy.

“Brown-Forman continues to foster an inclusive work environment where everyone is welcomed, respected, and able to bring their best self to work,” spokeswoman Elizabeth Conway said in an email.

John Deere

The farm equipment maker said in July that it would no longer sponsor “social or cultural awareness” events, and that it would audit all training materials “to ensure the absence of socially-motivated messages” in compliance with federal and local laws.

Moline, Illinois-based John Deere added “the existence of diversity quotas and pronoun identification have never been and are not company policy.” But it noted that it would still continue to “track and advance” the diversity of the company.

Tractor Supply

The retailer in June said it was ending an array of corporate diversity and climate efforts, a move that came after weeks of online conservative backlash against the rural retailer.

Tractor Supply said it would be eliminating all of its DEI roles while retiring current DEI goals. The company added that it would “stop sponsoring non-business activities” such as Pride festivals or voting campaigns — and no longer submit data for the HRC index.

The Brentwood, Tennessee-based company, which sells products ranging from farming equipment to pet supplies, also said that it would withdraw from its carbon emission goals to instead “focus on our land and water conservation efforts.”

The National Black Farmers Association called on Tractor Supply’s president and CEO to step down shortly after the company’s announcement.

Snipe Young’s Big Night at the Grammy’s: ‘Icing on the Cake’

Birmingham’s Snipe Young had Grammy victories this month in four major categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, and Best Rap Performance. (Provided)

By Marika N. Johnson | For The Birmingham Times

Birmingham’s Snipe Young continues his haul of Grammy Awards. It was his innovative sound design on Kendrick Lamar’s breakout diss track, “Not Like Us”, that earned Young Grammy victories this month in four major categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, and Best Rap Performance.

Snipe told the Birmingham Times this week he was not expecting such a sweep at the Grammys “but it definitely was the icing on the cake.” And while watching the show he realized it’s time that he “gets ready to deliver his acceptance speech beginning with I’d like to thank God and my parents…” he said.

Birmingham’s Snipe Young continues his rise in the music industry. (Provided)

“My parents allowed me to be,” Young said in a previous interview. “They never doubted me or pushed me toward anything other than my passion they believed in me from the very start. I started playing drums in the church around 4 or so and they made me feel like I was a touring musician from that point forward. My mother (Myra) and Father (Lawrence) are a class act.”

Snipe grew up in the Central Park community and spent many summers in Bessemer where he is a graduate of Victory Christian Academy. He was also once part of a Christian rap group that included fellow Birminghamian Sebastian “Pynk Beard” Kole who also picked up a Grammy this month.

Young, 34, a multi-talented force in the music industry, wears many hats, excels as an engineer, music producer, songwriter, and sound design engineer.

His Grammy success story began in 2016 when he contributed to Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” album, which won numerous awards and earned him his first Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album. The project also secured major accolades, including the 2017 BET Award for Album of the Year, the 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Album, and the 2017 Billboard Music Award for Top R&B Album.
Reflecting on his role, Snipe explained, “As a sound designer, I use recording techniques, editing software, and audio engineering to create sounds that enhance the mood and atmosphere of a project.”

His success continued in 2017 with music production and songwriting credits, alongside co-writer Goldie, on Chris Brown’s Indigo album on “Girl of My Dreams” and “All On Me”. The hit single No Guidance was nominated for Best R&B Song (but did not win) at the Grammys but achieved notable commercial success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Billboard Top R&B Albums, and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.

His latest Grammy triumph with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” only further cements his reputation as one of the industry’s premier sound design engineers.

Here’s a little more about the Birmingham native, in his own words, from previous interviews:

Give us some details about you and your story.
Well, my musical journey began at a very early age in Birmingham Alabama as a preacher’s kid in church playing drums. Being as young as I was people were shocked at the rhythm that I had early on and I began touring with choirs and even filling in for my mom’s singing group ‘Divine Inspiration’. One day after a rehearsal, Tamber Kaye Hill heard me playing a song they used to sing in worship that I learned by ear on piano and she showed the proper way to play the chords and from that point forward, I was hooked.

“I began producing and writing songs after that and sharpening my skills and trying to compete with the greats in the business even while in my small town. At this time, I stepped into the artist space and began rapping in this Christian rap group ‘DK’ part of supergroup ‘The SYF Family’ where we toured the southeast and built a nice following. But in all of this, I knew my dreams were gonna need wings so I started going out of state working on my production skills. It was tough because back home, I was responsible for recording and producing 85 percent of the talent but that still wasn’t feeding the hunger. So, after a few trips to L.A., I decided to move to California and start over.

I linked with a producer that I met in a session on one of my trips out here named Theron ‘Neffu’ Feemster. I began creating sounds for Neffu for his projects he worked not knowing at the time it was called sound design. That relationship led to me learning a new skill and I began working with Native Instruments and Akai creating drum expansions for their users, as well as continuing to design for Neffu and other major acts which led to me winning my first Grammy Award in 2016.

Since then I have worked with some amazing people and on some nice TV shows and Films. I now have a label ‘The Nine22 Music Group’ and we have been doing a lot of synch work and releasing albums. But yet in all of this, my hunger is still there, so where I am today pales in comparison to where I want to be tomorrow.

Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
No, It hasn’t been a smooth road at all. There were times when I quit for like an hour, times when you just become depressed because you work so hard to get your shot but for some reason, you don’t get a fair shake. One of the hardest things I’ve had to learn was taking all the no’s because you only need one ‘yes’, once I understood this I started to see the ‘no’s’ as ‘not right now’s.’ It’s challenging being from the South here because people don’t really understand my way of speaking and the way of thinking is from Alabama. Also dealing with the misconception of how it is where I’m from, I’ve had people ask do we have paved streets and do we have horses on dirt roads.

Can you give some background on your music?
I’m a producer, songwriter, sound design engineer, we also have a roster of artists under The Nine22 Music Group: Josephine Clarke, Rej Archi, Dani, Sly Slim, and Code Newton. We specialize in delivering a quality product on all fronts. As far as the producing, songwriting, and sound design I’ve worked with Chris Brown, Beyonce, Sofia Reyes, Fox (Empire), Tim Jonson Jr., Ghostface Killah, Eamon, Ocean’s 8, Native Instruments, Akai, and a few more. The Nine22 artists have been responsible for the music used in the UMC/Netflix series Craig Ross’ Monogamy.

How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?
Well, as a kid I witness my father go to work on rotating shifts at a plant. Early on, I noticed that no matter when his shift changed, he was always up and ready to get to it. My job just happens to be my passion so I enjoy working and I can outwork some of the best. The way I think of it if I’m not working somebody else is and they are getting steps ahead.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I would have to say three of my most important qualities would be compassion, ambition, and diligence. As far as skills and areas of knowledge I will say the ability to adapt and learn would be one. The second one would have to be bending, identifying, and understanding sound, as a producer I honed this skill and used that knowledge to venture over to the sound-design space. Lastly, is my ability to imagine (my Imagination) with imagination you can experiment and explore different worlds of melody and sound.

If you are early in your journey I encourage you to study the people before you and broaden your audio landscape feel free to imagine and try things that may not be of the norm. Think about the imagination of a child and how they will become whatever element they feel whether it’s a superhero or a boat! Just be free and always remember to apply the principles of your craft then you can see it, believe it and be it.

Black History Moment: Carrie A. Tuggle, Educator, Women’s Rights Advocate

0

Nestled in the midst of the Smithfield neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama lies a school named in honor of a trailblazer – Carrie A. Tuggle. The K-5 school is located at 412 12th Court North 35204. Approximately 500 K-5 students attend the present newly constructed Tuggle Elementary School.

Carrie A. Tuggle

As we continue this month’s safety series, we maintain our focus on the nontraditional approach to safety by highlighting African American whose names are affixed to schools within the Birmingham Public School system. Educators who positively impacted safety through education. This week we will look at the life of a woman who saved the lives of many African American children at the turn of the last century.

Tuggle was born on May 28, 1858, in Eufaula, Alabama. She was born into slavery under dire conditions but rose to prominence as one of Birmingham’s leaders. She married John Tuggle, and they moved to Birmingham seeking better economic conditions and a social life. They had four children.

Professionally, she held the position of Grand Worthy Councilor from 1891 to 1899. In 1901, she was appointed to the Office of Supreme Worthy Councilor. Tuggle also created and edited a Black newspaper called the Birmingham Truth between 1902 – 1910.

Early in her career, Tuggle worked as a social worker. She worked with delinquent boys and often appeared in court pleading on their behalf. She appeared in court on behalf of two boys, with one boy being only ten years of age and sought their pardon, instead of imprisonment. She volunteered to take them home with her and reform them. This action became the seed for her idea to develop a housing facility for orphaned Black children.  She named the facility, The Tuggle Institute. It opened on September 3, 1903, with a mere $2.50.  The institute’s primary purpose was to provide a home for destitute Black children and to educate them.

During this time, she was affiliated with several different institutions in Birmingham such as the Courts of Calanthe, Knights and Ladies of Honor of the World along with others. She was able to garner financial support for The Tuggle Institute. She also sought monetary support from the White and Jewish community and received financial backing from Louis Pizitz and his wife along with A. B. Loveman. Both Pizitz and Loveman owned the two major department stores in downtown Birmingham for decades.

Unfortunately tragedy struck, and the school burned down. Arson was suspected. Tuggle pivoted and relocated the school to a nearby church and continued her mission of the teaching industry, nursing and music. The building was reconstructed and gained the reputation as “one of the most effective and beneficial institutions of the South.” Birmingham White supporters along with some supporters from the Jewish community provided economic support for the institute’ expansion.

From its inception, the orphanage and the school grew.  The children affectionally called her “Granny” where the adults with the same affection called her “Old Lady Tuggle.” Many outstanding citizens attended her institute, such as Dr. A. G. Gaston, John T. Whatley and Erskine Hawkins.

Tuggle was active in the women’s suffrage movement in Jefferson County by encouraging Black women including teachers to register to vote. She suffered a personal setback during this stage in life when one of her daughters, Mamie Adams, who was a leading social activist, died.

Tuggle’s tenacious spirit to raise money for the institute ultimately affected her health. Confined to the bed for six months, she died on Nov. 5, 1924, at the age of 66. In 2005, Tuggle was added to the Alabama Women’s Hall of Fame.

In 1926, Tuggle Institute became affiliated with the Birmingham City Public Schools. In 1935, the City Board of Education purchased it and named it Enon Ridge School. In 1936, the name was changed to Tuggle Elementary School with the words “Carrie A. Tuggle, a scholar, a educator and servant of mankind” inscribed in a memorial plaque.  Noted activist Angela Davis attended Tuggle Elementary School.

Tuggle as well as many other educators worked tirelessly on behalf of African American children and the community as a whole by Keeping their Eyes on Safety through education.

“In a global economy, those who reject the multicultural nature of consumerism and business will be left in the past they are living in.”

Birmingham’s Grammy-Winning Sebastian ‘Pynk Beard’ Kole Takes Country by Storm

By Marika N. Johnson | For The Birmingham Times

A seasoned vocalist, well-established songwriter, and talented musician, Sebastian Kole, now venturing into the country music genre under his new persona “Pynk Beard,” is still surprised by his most recent triumph — a third Grammy, earned at the 2025 award ceremony this month for his contributions as a songwriter on the Alicia Keys project “Hell’s Kitchen” for Best Musical Theater Album.

For the album, he wrote “Perfect Way to Die” and had no idea that it even was nominated. Surprised and pleased, Kole told The Birmingham Times, “This Grammy Award felt different because it was totally unexpected.”

While pleased with the award, Kole said now is the time to come from “behind the scenes.”

“I want to be the face,” he said. “I’ve written for a lot of award-winning songs, but most times people don’t know what you’ve done [when] you’re a writer. This time I want to win and show my smile.”

After a sold-out listening party, held recently in the Pearl River Club Lounge at Birmingham’s Regions Field, Kole reflected on his journey. (By the way, he is planning an encore performance at the newly renovated WorkPlay event venue on May 9 and working on a distribution deal that will get his 14-song album, “Sugar and Salt,” into the hands of fans.)

“Why Country Music?”

Sporting a Buc-ee’s T-shirt, gold chains, and his signature pink beard, dyed because of a friend’s encouragement, Kole’s Pynk Beard persona represents an evolution of his artistry. Asked “Why country music?” the artist simply responds, “Why not?”

“I believe the human experience, especially the Southern experience, is amazing, and it should be documented by anyone who lives here. … Not all of us drive tractors or ride horses, or have rims or Cadillacs,” Kole said. “It’s not just about rivers and creeks; it’s about avenues and boulevards. … All of that is country. It’s not a sound, it’s a culture — and cultures are multidimensional.”

He added, “You love country music, but you might not like country artists. … You might feel as if they are avoiding you, but you love country music. … What’s to hate about good melodies, good storytellin’, and good hooks?”

Kole won his Grammy the same night megastar Beyoncé became the first Black artist to win the Grammy for Best Country Album and Album of the Year for “Cowboy Carter.” There’s more than just Beyoncé and Kole in the genre — there’s also the Grammy-nominated Shaboozey, whose “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” topped music charts worldwide in 2024, and local talents like Birmingham-Southern grad Jada Cato and Gardendale, Alabama, singer-songwriter Tiera Kennedy.

“[Black people have] been kicked out of so many types of music,” Kole continued. “We once called rock and roll ‘home,’ we once called jazz ‘home,’ and then we were kicked out. … We are so disconnected from [the musical spaces] we once called ‘home’ and the music we started.”

Addressing potential detractors within the country music genre who might question his presence, he said, “You’re not even what the house looks like! You’re not even from the neighborhood.”

“Didn’t Know if We Were Rich or Poor”

Kole’s journey began in Dolomite, Alabama, a small unincorporated area in Jefferson County adjacent to Hueytown. Once a booming mining town, Dolomite is now a quiet neighborhood, one for which the Grammy-winning artist has fond memories, particularly about his humble beginnings.

His grandfather and father worked at the nearby steel mill, and he recalled a childhood filled with the freedom of playing in the streets and a time when economic status was never a concern.

“As kids, we didn’t know if we were rich or poor. We were just a bunch of kids running around, playing. We were all family,” recalled Kole, who attributes much of his success to the encouragement of his family, friends, and church, as well as his teachers at Epic Elementary, William James Christian Middle, and Ramsay High schools.

“If it weren’t for [Myrna Ria Ross, a teacher at Ramsay], I wouldn’t have graduated,” he admits.

Even though Kole could have been labeled as a troubled kid in school, educators and others recognized his talents and encouraged him to practice daily.

Kole literally grew up in church, and the soulful undertones of the church are unmistakable in his music and in his deep, soul-stirring voice that he likens to a transmission. He credits Greater Emmanuel Temple for nurturing his vocal skills and songwriting abilities. It was there, in his early years, that he first wrote songs for the choir to sing on Sundays, as the pastor did not allow songs that were not written by his congregation.

Both of his parents were pastors, as well, and he and his mother, Bernadine Birdsong (owner of Michael’s Restaurant at downtown Birmingham’s Negro Southern League Museum), would make up songs around the house.

(A fun fact: Kole also was once part of a Christian rap group that included fellow Birminghamian Snipe Young who earned Grammy victories this month in four major categories: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Music Video, and Best Rap Performance.)

Kole’s songwriting journey took off after his first song was sold and then published by his good friend, Eric Matthews. He was then intrigued at the thought of making a living by writing songs: “I didn’t know that such a career even existed.”

He secured a songwriting credit in 2012 for “Goin’ In,” a song performed by multihyphenate artist Jennifer Lopez and featuring rapper FloRida that was included on the “Step Up: Revolution” movie soundtrack. With the proceedings from that, he flew to California, signed to Motown Records, and eventually penned songs for artists like Alessia Cara, who won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2018. He also has written hits for John Legend, Brandy, and Alicia Keys.

Kole received his first Grammy as songwriter on the soundtrack for the drama “The United States vs. Billie Holliday,” which starred Andra Day and won the Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media in 2022. His second Grammy win came as songwriter for the song “Actions” on Legend’s album “Bigger Love,” which won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Album in 2021. His third Grammy came after he met Keys through his publisher and was subsequently flown to New York to work on her project for a week.

“Something in This for Everyone”

While Kole remains committed to writing for others, he is equally dedicated to pushing his new album, “Sugar and Salt,” as Pynk Beard.

“[Writing and performing are] two completely different skill sets,” he explained. “If you write a song well, no one should know you wrote it. It should sound like the artist’s own vocabulary. As a songwriter, I get to play ‘dress-up,’ and that’s fun. But onstage it just feels different.”

Kole shared how his recent listening party brought together a wide range of people and age groups.

“A 70-year-old white lady and a 4-year-old Black boy having a good time … made me realize that there is something in this for everyone,” he told The Birmingham Times. “It’s real and it’s genuine. There is something in this.”

Kole’s current project contains tracks that were teased heavily online through social media platforms — ultimately, going viral in a few days’ time. So, it was not surprising that people of all ages attending the Regions Field event already knew the catchy tunes and had already practiced the line dances for the show.

“I don’t do it for the awards; I do it for the hearts,” Kole said. “I want to remind people about where they are from.”

Sebastian “Pynk Beard” Kole will perform at the newly renovated WorkPlay event venue (500 23rd St. S., Birmingham, AL 35233) on May 9, 2025. For more information, visit Kole one Facebook (www.facebook.com/SebastianKole) and Instagram (www.instagram.com/SebastianKole).

Women’s Heart Health: Here is What You Should Know

How to prevent heart disease

“With heart disease prevention, small changes can make a huge difference,” said Gretchen Wells, M.D., Ph.D., director of the UAB Medicine Women’s Heart Health Program. “Most of our recommendations are low-tech and can easily be incorporated into an individual’s daily routines.”

Wells’ recommendations include:

  • Eating a heart-healthy diet
  • Exercising
  • Maintaining a healthy weight
  • Quitting smoking
  • Controlling cholesterol, blood glucose and blood pressure levels
  • Managing stress
  • Moderating alcohol use
  • Getting enough sleep

For women who want to start protecting their heart health, Wells recommends starting small and working their way up. For example, if walking for 30 minutes a day or shifting to a healthier diet seems intimidating at first, start with a reachable goal. This could mean walking for five to 10 minutes a day or adding a healthy side to a meal per day. As these habits become easier, continue to build upon them each day.

“It may also help to establish some of these healthy habits by involving everyone in the family,” Wells said. “Food and exercise are medicine, and everyone can benefit from eating healthier and getting exercise. There are some great resources for families for maintaining a healthy diet and making fun, colorful and interesting meals that are healthy for the whole family.”

Symptoms to look out for

Sometimes women may experience symptoms that are not typically associated with a heart attack, such as anxiety, an upset stomach, or unusual tiredness and weakness. Wells says, if a woman is experiencing any symptoms that are out of the ordinary, that justifies additional investigation.

Other common symptoms of a heart attack include the following:

  • Uncomfortable pressure or pain in the chest
  • Shortness of breath
  • Unexplained pain in the shoulder, back, arm or jaw
  • Unexplained nausea or vomiting
  • Excessive sweating
  • Lightheadedness or fainting
  • Excessive heart palpitations

If an individual is experiencing any of the symptoms above, call 911 and get to the hospital immediately.

Do not avoid seeking treatment

“We sometimes see women delay seeking treatment, because they feel that they are too busy with work/home life and managing kids or elderly parents to put themselves first and get an evaluation,” said Monica Hunter, M.D., cardiologist at UAB St. Vincent’s. “Some patients feel they are not taken seriously by health care providers and are afraid they may just be anxious or overreacting to any symptoms out of the ordinary.”

The American Heart Association is a helpful resource to help the whole family eat healthy.

Hunter says women should always seek medical attention if they sense that something is off.

“I would much rather see them in the emergency department or clinic and evaluate them to see that they are OK instead of missing that opportunity and they have a heart attack or stroke,” Hunter said.

Women who have had several conditions during pregnancy may have an increased risk of heart disease later in life. Women who have experienced conditions such as gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension and preeclampsia should let their health care providers know and make sure their blood sugar, cholesterol levels and blood pressure are checked regularly.

Hunter recommends making regular appointments with a health care provider. At this appointment, patients can discuss risk factors, set their exercise and weight loss goals, get blood work done, and refill any medications. Health care providers can also provide resources to help patients stop smoking and steps to help patients minimize their risk factors for heart disease.

The UAB Women’s Heart Health Program is designed to help patients reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke by providing medical care focused on women’s individual needs. An experienced team of cardiac experts will evaluate and manage the health of women with all types of heart disease and address the distinct concerns and unique risk factors that women may experience. The program focuses on treating some of the conditions encountered primarily in women, including coronary microvascular disease, heart failure, spontaneous coronary artery dissection and cardiovascular complications of pregnancy.

The cardiologists and care teams at UAB St. Vincent’s provide a personalized care plan for each patient’s heart and vascular health. Their complete cardiology care ranges from screenings and preventive services to complex heart and vascular and surgeries.
