Rising star J.Marques Johnson is no stranger to the spotlight as he has quickly become a fan favorite on the hit Tyler Perry and BET Plus series ‘All The Queens Men’. His portrayal as Rayshon the funny, naive, charming and sometimes innocent stripper has truly made him one to watch in television. His charismatic performance on the show beautifully showcases his range as an actor as his character goes through some trying and traumatic events which ultimately leads him into a space of despair and depression. As he self destructs throughout the season we see the importance of mental health and how many suffer in silence far too often, until they ultimately reach their breaking point. For many viewers, his storyline is relatable in so many ways so of course his growing fan base continuously reaches out to him with gratitude for his performance.
As an Actor/Model/Writer Josh aka J Marques is truly just sharing a piece of his light through his art that shines on and off camera. If you follow the Los Angeles native on social media then you know that he takes his physical and mental health more serious than anything, so it should come as no surprise that during Suicide Awareness Month he has chosen to help spread the word about 988 Lifeline. On September 8th Joshua along with his father legendary NBA player Marques Johnson attended the 988 Lifeline Charity Event, Benefiting Suicide Prevention. The special event held at The Orpheum Theatre was powerful and eye opening to see how many have truly been affected by Suicide. After Mr Johnson shared his post on Instagram about being in attendance, we had to speak with him directly about his own personal journey with mental health.
As I began to speak with the breakout star, it was clear to see how serious he is about his mental health and how he wants others to take theirs just as serious. We began to discuss his journey with Therapy and Healing and although it hasn’t been easy, it has truly changed him for the better. He mentions “Therapy just wasn’t a thought, man up just do something hard to channel it. You know so Fitness was always kind of my outlet. Up until i realized you know fitness wasn’t the only thing i was using to cope with my things. But I got to a point where I knew I needed help and luckily for me I have a strong circle of friends and family around me, a great support group. Knowing that everyone doesn’t have that same resource that I have so, I’m on a crusade to help people of every creed, race, religion to seek that help out”.. Now of course we talk about so much more in this in depth chat so it was only right that we shared the stream of it below.
If you or anyone you know needs help or is even contemplating suicide, don’t ever hesitate to reach out for help. Call 988 immediately for help and if you need more resources here are links below to reach out directly for all your mental health needs on this journey.

Synopsis
Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.
For Palmer, Prom Queen is about more than just fear — it’s also about growing up. “I love that Shadyside feels so relevant to our world now; it could really be any present day blue collar town in America,” he says. “We dig much deeper down into high school and family life in this installment and find that, again, so many of the challenges that ’80s kids faced still seem to totally resonate today.” That being said: if audiences find themselves resonating with Shadyside’s ancient curse, we recommend getting in touch with an exorcist or paranormal expert of some kind as soon as possible.

Rising star Denali Nova is back and better than ever with the world premiere of his new music videos for his latest single ‘Enigma‘. The soulful dance track produced by Andrea Carax. The two have once again collaborated on another track which is sure to be in heavy rotation as the singer/songwriter continues to work on his long awaited project which is set to be released later this year. Now many of you might know of Denali from working with acts like the legendary Grammy Award winning vocal bible Brandy among other powerhouses like Grammy nominated singer/actor Avery Wilson. But the one thing this rising star has in common with them is that he is a star on and off the stage but now his time has come to truly shine in the spotlight.
These days as an artist it’s not a surprise to see many indie acts give their all as they put forth some of the best projects out here, and in this case Denali is no different. He teamed up with Award winning choreographer Matthew Pasterisa who has worked with some of the greats including Azealia Banks, Teyana Taylor, Kelela, and Baby Storme for this high energy dance performance clip that is reminiscent of the iconic Janet Jackson ‘Janet Tour’.

Now it doesn’t fall short that other artist in the LGBTQ community like Doechii, Victoria Monet, Lil Nas X, Kehlani, Durand Bernarr & Destin Conrad have truly stepped out a made a huge impact on him as an artist which only allowed for him to be another representation of someone who can truly do it all and be their authentic self.
