KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Felecia Outsey’s Divine Urban eXpressions Cultural Arts N Dance Productions has been a boots-on-the-ground organization in the East Knoxville community for more than a decade, giving teens an outlet for artistic expression, whether it’s dance, music or poetry.
She can’t solve inadequate housing or nutrition. She can’t undo the impact of the trauma caused by losing five Black teens to gun violence this year.
But she can give love and support, while creating opportunities for kids to perform and express themselves.
Shopper Blog: Comics characters and a rethinking of Easter

WORDS OF FAITH
John Tirro, Shopper News
I’ve been watching WandaVision, in Connecticut, in the last days of my dad’s decline. It’s comforting to me.
Wanda and Vision are comic book characters from my childhood, so it pleases my inner 12-year-old. They’re also movie characters that I enjoyed with my sons when they were 12, and the whole comic book thing ties back to a box of Classics Comic Books from my dad’s childhood, that he gave me early on, which formed a lot of my love of reading (my go-to self-soothing activity) and probably relates to my love of scripture as well. So that’s a lot.
