Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson recently opened up about his struggles with mental health and how he dealt with his bouts of depression.
Dwayne said, “I left school, but the interesting thing at the time is, I didn’t know what mental health was. I didn’t know what depression was. I just knew I didn’t want to be there.” He continued, “I knew what it was at that time and luckily I had some friends that I could lean on and say, ‘Hey I’m feeling a little wobbly now. I got a little struggle happening.'”
He added, “I’ve worked hard over the years to gain the emotional tools to work through any mental pain that may come to test me. As men, we didn’t talk about it. We just kept our head down and worked through it. Not healthy, but it’s all we knew.”
The Rock continued, “If you’re going through your own version of mental wellness turning into mental hell-ness, the most important thing you can do is talk to somebody. Having the courage to talk to someone is your superpower.”

WHUR and FedEx host the 11th Annual Moms Who Serve Luncheon. These are ladies who are military veterans, MPD officers, firefighters, EMS workers, and healthcare employees.
It was a chance for the ladies to break free for a few hours from their busy lives as mothers and career women. “We know that being a mom is a tough job. But add being a police officer, a military veteran, a firefighter/EMS worker, or a healthcare worker; I know that makes for a very demanding 24 hours every day. That’s why we are honored to host these special moms to show them how much we truly appreciate the supreme sacrifice they make everyday for our communities and country,” said WHUR General Manager Sean Plater.
NBC4 News Anchor Molettte Green was the MC of the luncheon which was made possible because of the generous flagship sponsorship of FedEx. “I was so happy to be a part of the day. I love good news stories. It was a joy seeing all the beautiful ladies and knowing this was a chance for them to get a well-deserved day of appreciation.
The day began with greetings from FedEx Strategic Account Manager Denike Williams. “At FedEx, we strive to make a positive difference in the community we serve. Today is an important example of our commitment to support the DMV year round. We know that spending time away from your family can be very difficult which is why we are honored to host this luncheon yearly. It’s just one of the many ways we show our appreciation for the hardwork and hardships our military and first responder moms endure everyday,” said Williams.
“It was such an amazing day. The food was amazing. I was able to connect with my colleagues and make some new friends. But the best part of the day was all the goodies we got. I mean flowers, gift bags and I even won a pair of concert tickets. It was a great way to kick off the Mother’s Day weekend. Thank you WHUR and FedEx,” said Lt. Leslie Royster.
Other supports of today’s luncheon included: Macy’s Downtown Metro Center, Ulta Beauty of Capitol Heights, ruist Bank, Restoration Center In., Lee’s Flower and Card Shop, and The Point Restaurant.

After being charged with assault by his former girlfriend, actor Jonathan Majors finally had his day in court, and the charges against him remain intact.
Tuesday was Majors’ chance to prove his innocence in court, but not much happened as the Manhattan D.A.’s office didn’t change the three counts of attempted assault, a count of harassment, and another count of aggravated harassment.
His attorney, Priya Chaudry, believed the evidence they presented would sway the case in Jonathan’s favor, but they say the D.A.’s office “turned a blind eye to it.” Jonathan’s attorney also claims to have “clear evidence” to prove her client is being falsely prosecuted, but she doesn’t want to share it for fear that the alleged victim will change their story again.
Chaudry says, “When Mr. Majors showed a white police officer the injuries the woman caused him, the white officer got in Mr. Majors’ face and taunted him, saying that if the officer were to slap Mr. Majors, the officer wouldn’t break his finger. None of the white officers present investigated the assault of Mr. Majors. Worse, the District Attorney has not indicated any intention to pursue charges against the woman, or even investigate the truth.”
Another court date has been set for June.

On this episode of “Cheffin’ It Up with Stretch” I made some roasted vegetables with burdock root and sunchoke. Two vegetables that I’ve never cooked before. I do drink burdock root tea and have the supplements in a pill form but never had the actual vegetable in its natural form.
I include two other dishes with soy butter glazed mushrooms and lemon garlic kale. Here’s to good eating and I hope you enjoy and make it for yourself.

Flight delays happen more frequently than not nowadays. Weather, waiting for flight crews to arrive from previous delayed flights, maintenance, and, under severe circumstances, security breaches are only a few possible causes, especially ones involving insects.
On Wednesday, there was a different kind of wait for travelers trying to board a flight from Houston to Atlanta: bees on a wing. Anjali Enjeti, a Twitter user, posted a picture of a swarm of bees that had gathered on a wingtip.
She said that until the swarm was exterminated, personnel would not permit passengers to board. Enjeti revealed on Twitter that although the flight’s captain had said they couldn’t handle the bees, the crew had hoped to bring in a beekeeper.
Delta said in a statement, “Bee-lieve it or not, Delta flight 1682 from Houston-Bush to Atlanta took a delay this afternoon after a friendly group of bees evidently wanted to talk shop with the winglet of our airplanes, no doubt to share the latest about flying conditions at the airport.”
