Today, Sarah Tomley lets the world know that ‘things are different now’ as she dives headfirst into the complexities of real life, the burdens of love and the joy of metamorphosis. Introducing fans to her elevated persona, “Rexford”. The emergence of Rexford marks a moment in Sarah’s career where she is pulling from deep within. Writing from a space of truth and raw power in order to share the fullness of her entire world with fans.

Marrying the essence of then and the spirit of now, Rexford isn’t running away from the moments that shaped her but embracing the scars that made her. Rising from the bricks and rubble of broken structures to being present in this current state of “home”. Rexford is a symbolic representation of the place that allowed her to grow.

In this artistic rebirth emerges “One Horse Town”, which is her newest release out on all platforms today. Co-written and produced by “Twin Shadow”, the track is about releasing the things that you’ve outgrown yet empathetically understanding the purpose it had in your journey.

Rexford’s work will encompass an ethereal display of imperfect beauty as it swells with waves of realness and relatability. The music is a dialogue of risk-takers having a human experience in a world that values “stuff” over “soul”. 

“I think this new journey is really a polaroid of feelings rather than an image of glamour. The evolution of this awakened version has helped me to heal my inner child and get back to the core of me,” as Sarah reflects on “Rexford”.

“Rexford” breathes new life into Sarah’s artistry. An inalienable piece of what has always been there just hidden under the dust of this world’s expectations. This exciting chapter will drag you out of the middle of that “one-horse town” of shackled uncertainty and into a universe of cathartic release.

Two-time kidney transplant recipient, Gregory S. Works, is pleased to announce the release of his new book, “Triumph: Life on the Other Side of Trials, Transplants and Transformation.”

Within its launch week, ‘Triumph’ has already ranked in the top 10 for Healing in New Releases category on Amazon, an impressive feat that underscores the book’s timely relevance and appeal.

“Triumph” serves as an empowering guide for those living with chronic illnesses, as well as for their caregivers. Drawing from his personal experiences, Works provides a candid exploration of life with kidney disease, demonstrating how faith can become the cornerstone to triumph over life-altering challenges.

“I wrote ‘Triumph’ to show that challenges are inevitable, but the decisions we make—whether to face them or flee—can profoundly impact our ability to overcome or be overtaken by trials, pain, and suffering in our lives,” Works says.

The book has already received high praise from notable figures such as Omar Tyree, New York Times best-selling author and NAACP Image Award Winner, who commends ‘Triumph’ as a “masterpiece of resilience and creativity.” Steve Pemberton, USA Today Best Seller, also recommends the book, describing it as “a testament to the power of perseverance, faith, and community.”

Born out of his personal journey with kidney disease, which has affected everyone in his immediate family, Works shares invaluable insights on managing the disease, the process of seeking a transplant, dietary considerations, navigating COVID as a kidney disease patient, and post-transplant life.

A graduate of Howard University and Northwestern University’s J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Works leverages his wealth of knowledge and experiences to help others face their challenges head-on and live a victorious life.

“Triumph” is now available for purchase on Amazon.

CTV publishers using Innovid’s platform now have seamless access to Infillion’s award-winning value exchange ads.

NEW YORK, June 7, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Infillion, an advanced media buying platform, today announced a partnership with Innovid Corp. (NYSE: CTV), an independent advertising platform for the delivery, personalization, and measurement of converged TV across linear, connected TV (CTV) and digital, to together bring simplified creative workflow and expanded publisher reach for Infillion’s award-winning choice-based CTV ad technology.

With this industry-first partnership, CTV publishers that utilize Innovid’s software development kit (SDK) will have seamless access to the choice-based, interactive streaming ads that Infillion pioneered without needing an additional technology integration. Infillion’s TrueX value-exchange ad experiences respect consumers’ time, attention, and privacy as well as provide impactful benefits to all parties in the industry. Consumers get shorter ad breaks, advertisers get exclusive guaranteed attention, and publishers get higher revenue per commercial break.

At the foundation of this partnership is Innovid’s CTV Composer. Within the tool, designers and developers can build interactive and dynamic CTV ad experiences in a matter of hours. Critically, ads developed using Innovid’s CTV Composer are built to communicate with the company’s proprietary SDK, enabling one creative experience to run seamlessly across 25+ connected TV device types. Access to Innovid’s CTV Composer means having the ability to offer advertisers a way to quickly develop engaging, interactive choice-based CTV ads that can run across the breadth of Innovid’s publisher footprint at scale.

“We are happy to partner with Infillion to provide first-to-market Innovid Composer technology that simplifies choice-based CTV ad development and delivery,” said Krista Panoff, Global SVP, Enterprise Development at Innovid. “Innovid’s CTV Composer’s ability to build interactive CTV ads is foundational to enabling this. Unlike desktop and mobile, CTV devices lack video player and tag type standardization. As such, delivering the same interactive and personalized experiences across the growing streaming space requires the installation of an SDK. Innovid’s CTV Composer is the solution to the industry’s lack of CTV standardization.” 

Research released last month from Innovid has revealed that CTV is now responsible for half of all video ad impressions and continues to grow. Interactive ad formats on CTV, the same research found, drive over 600% more lift in engagement over standard pre-roll video ads, and also outperform the latter with a completion rate of 96.4%. 

“Our partnership with Innovid delivers a more frictionless experience for publishers and outstanding engagement for consumers in a category that is often fraught with waning attention,” said Lauri Baker, SVP, Partnerships at Infillion. “Demand for CTV-only TrueX campaigns grew 10X last year as the industry continues to embrace consumer-first ad innovation for streaming audiences. With Innovid, we’re meeting that demand and guaranteeing for advertisers that consumers have not just seen but also interacted with their marketing messages.”

The two companies share a commitment to uncompromising quality and premium experiences that have frequently been recognized with top industry awards and accolades. Innovid was honored last year in the Digiday Technology Awards as the Best Video Ad Server. Infillion’s in-house creative services have built campaigns that have been honored by the Webby Awards, Festival of Media, the Creative Media Awards, and the ARF David Ogilvy Awards, and in 2023, Infillion was named Top Agency at the IAC Awards, which honor creative technical development.

BLACK. FEMALE. FIGHTING FOR THE AMERICAN DREAM.

Locked Out
The poster for award-winning documentary feature ‘Locked Out’

MIAMI, June 6, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Locked Out, a Detroit-based documentary following Black women as they battle evictions, predatory lending, and modern-day redlining in America’s most segregated city, is set to screen at the 27th annual American Black Film Festival in Miami on Saturday, June 17, at 1:45 p.m. at the O Cinema South Beach. Produced by Saville Productions and directed by Oscar Nominee Kate Davis and Luchina Fisher, Locked Out intimately captures the impact of housing injustice while exposing the systems that prevent positive change. 

“It’s easy to talk about the importance of equitable housing, but what’s too often missing from the conversation is the actual experiences of those on the ground,” said co-director Luchina Fisher, who received a 2022 GLAAD Media Award nomination for her feature debut Mama Gloria. “It’s eye-opening to see up close how our current system keeps mostly Black residents locked out of building wealth in America, but it was also stunning to witness the work Black women are putting in to save their communities.”

The documentary, which combines vérité filmmaking and archival footage, features longtime Detroit residents Soummer Crawford and Geraldine Smith-Bey, as well as experts from the University of Michigan, the United Community Housing Coalition, Ohio State University, and more. The film also spotlights those behind Detroit’s devastating use of land contracts. 

Locked Out premiered in April at Detroit’s Freep Film Festival, where it received the Shine a Light Award for its heroic portrayal of the women on the front lines of the fair housing battle. After the American Black Film Festival, the documentary will head to the Newark Black Film Festival, Woods Hole Film Festival, and San Francisco Doc Fest to drum up nationwide support for the issue. 

“I had read about the racial gap in homeownership across the country, but going to Detroit and embedding with vibrant Black female housing activists and women facing eviction was both dramatic to behold and traumatic for those we filmed,” said co-director Kate Davis, who received an Academy Award nomination for her film Traffic Stop and the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance for her landmark documentary Southern Comfort.

Tickets to the AABF screening of Locked Out are available at www.abff.com/miami/festival-passes/. The film will screen in-person on Saturday, June 17, at 1:45 p.m. and virtually June 19-25. 

Locked Out was produced by LA-based production company Saville Productions. Learn more at www.lockedoutfilm.com and on Instagram @lockedout_film.

Featuring the meticulous Japanese techniques and New York style that Salon87 is known for, “87 Heads” takes readers on a journey to showcase and celebrate diverse counterculture styles ranging from nostalgic Japanese Sukeban perms to iconic flat-tops with Basquiat embellishments. Maru Teppei’s photography, which has previously been recognized for its surrealistic aesthetics and vivid engagement with the subject, adds an arresting visual depth to the anthology.

This collection is a testament to Salon87’s mission: to create new trends in the fashion and beauty industry worldwide from Brooklyn, NY. “87 Heads” is a tribute to the perseverance and passion of its stylists: Chika Nishiyama, Izumi Sato, Miwako Urasugi, and Yu Nakata.
