A friend he was staying with in Wilmington dissuaded him from the notion of taking his show on the road, so to speak. Instead, he did socially distanced concerts for her neighbors several weeks running in her Glen Meade front yard. It was a way to get things out musically, Whitted said. There s a lot of music in him, as Kennedy whom he met in 1997 during a production of Godspell at Cape Fear Regional Theatre can attest. Brian Whitted is a musical genius, Kennedy wrote in a Facebook message. I do not use that term lightly. Pianist. Singer. Arranger. Comedian . He is a beautifully trained musician and can play anything, from Rachmaninoff to Stevie Wonder to Sondheim.
A single-sex charter school planned for Chatham County was greenlighted Wednesday by the Charter School Advisory Board (CSAB).
The advisory board’s approval came in the wake of a letter submitted by leaders of the School of the Arts for Boys Academy (SABA) explaining how the schools meets the standard needed to qualify to operate as a single-sex school.
The State Board of Education (SBE) could approve the school’s charter as soon as next month.
The state board asked the school to explain how it will meet the standards to operate as a single-sex school to establish a record to show that the school had a justifiable reason for limiting student enrollment to a single sex.

As activities for the 2020 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence are rounded up and the world continues to cope and deal with the coronavirus pandemic, various organisations in Africa still continue to show a lot of commitment towards their purpose of building an Africa that is safe, inclusive and peaceful.
In Somalia, the Elman Peace Centre, a notable women-led organisation, continues to blaze the trail in the field of peace building, sexual and gender based violence, human rights and job creation which has earned them the merit to become the Focal Point organisation in East Africa for the Gender Equality Network for Small Arms Control (GENSAC) joining its membership from Latin America, the Caribbean, Western Balkans, Ukraine and other parts of Africa to advance gender responsive responses to small arms control.
