Kazoo Magazine 2022 issues
Kazoo Magazine's 2022 covers: The Magic Issue (#24), The Ocean Issue (#25), The Future Issue (#26), The Brave Issue (#27)
BROOKLYN, N.Y., February 24, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) has recognized Kazoo, an independently published quarterly print magazine for girls, ages 5 to 12, for awards in the categories of General Excellence, Best Print Design, and Best Print Illustration.
Kazoo is nominated for General Excellence-Special Interest, the most prestigious honor in the publishing industry; for Best Print Design for The Brave Issue (#27); and for Best Print Illustration for "Look for the Light" by Lucy Knisley in The Future Issue (#26). Kazoo is the only children's magazine recognized in 2023.
In 2023, Kazoo published four powerful issues: The Brave Issue (#27), which inspires girls to dream boldly and make their voices heard; The Future Issue (#26), which encourages them to imagine—and build—a better tomorrow; The Ocean Issue (#25), which takes them on a deep dive into the science and secrets of the sea; and The Magic Issue (#24), which sparks their wonder and curiosity about the world. Every 64-page, ad-free issue is filled with visually stunning illustrations, clever comics, powerful fiction, and interactive stories, and each supports Kazoo's simple, yet still radical, mission: to celebrate girls for being strong, smart, fierce and true to themselves.
The three 2023 ASME nods mark Kazoo magazine's eighth ASME nomination in just seven years, having previously been nominated in 2017, 2019, and 2021 for General Excellence-Special Interest and twice in 2022 for Best Single Topic Issue and Best Illustrated Story. Kazoo won the highest honor in the category of General Excellence-Special Interest in 2019.
This year, 243 national and regional media organizations entered the National Magazine Awards. Finalists and winners will be honored at the annual presentation of the National Magazine Awards at Terminal 5, in New York City, on Tuesday, March 28.
MORE ABOUT KAZOO MAGAZINE:
Kazoo: A Magazine for Girls Who Aren't Afraid to Make Some Noise is the story of a little quarterly magazine that could.

With a full-time staff of one, Kazoo now reaches subscribers in 51 countries worldwide and counts among its contributors Stacey Abrams, Margaret Atwood, Amy Sherald, Greta Thunberg, and others. Our mission is as radical as it is essential: to celebrate girls, 5 to 12, for being strong, smart, fierce and true to themselves.
Representation matters, especially to kids, so celebrating all kinds of girls and women in our pages is not a quota to fill; it's part of our purpose.

HOW Water: Making Their Splash as the Future of Bottled Water. Big Mission. Tiny...
HOUSTON, February 24, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Recently launched HOW Water (drinkhowwater.com) is the first bottled water company to launch exclusively in Houston. HOW (Hyperpure Oxygenated Water) has a unique approach to bottled water through their patented system that replicates the best water nature ever created without exploiting the earth's most pristine water sources. Responsibly (and locally) sourced and sustainably packaged in plastic-free 100% aluminum right here in Texas. They have a big mission with a tiny footprint.
"It's exciting to launch the first-ever water brand that started in the Bayou City," Founder, CEO, and proud Houstonian Robert Peebler says. "I am looking forward to reaching the Houston community whom we can positively impact by bringing them the healthiest bottled water while protecting the environment. I can't think of a better place to launch than Houston, where people love new ideas and groundbreaking businesses. I hope that Houstonians will see it the same way."
Their product is for the consumer searching for one of the best-tasting waters in the world, with a smooth, silky taste and impurity free. With the company's focus on sustainability, the bottles are made from infinitely recyclable aluminum and sourced from local Texas water versus the exploitation of earth's most precious freshwater resources (unlike most other bottled water).
"We want our consumers to understand that by drinking HOW Water, they can reduce plastic pollution in our landfills, oceans, and bayous (where much of single-source plastic water bottles end up) and eliminate ingesting microplastics into their own bodies."
Plastic pollution has become a household topic, but the dangers of microplastics have only recently been recognized as a long-term health threat and potentially even more dangerous for children. HOW chose the more expensive path of bottling in aluminum versus plastic in the belief that, although it's more costly, it's the right choice for both the environment and its customers.
HOW Water is bottled by Eventide Waters in Mineral Wells, TX. HOW's licensed patented technology has been uniquely installed to convert normal municipal water into the water nature intended.
About HOW Water:
Hyperpure Oxygenated Water (HOW) is an oxygenated water brand whose proprietary process begins with stripping out the impurities in water to the nano level until it reaches a state of hyperpurity. Utilizing a patented system that enriches the water with oxygen and the perfect number of electrolytes to achieve optimal taste, HOW is bottled in infinitely recyclable aluminum for better bottled water that is good for both the consumer and the environment.

The 14th Annual Juneteenth NY Celebration 2023 ‘Kaleidoscope of Black Culture’ Returns to Brooklyn,...
NEW YORK, February 23, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The 14th Annual Juneteenth NY Celebration - one of New York City's premier and largest annual events commemorating a now federally-recognized holiday - returns for an exciting three-day celebration, kicking off virtual and in-person on Friday, June 16, through June 18 from the epicenter of Black culture and community in Brooklyn, NY.
The Juneteenth NY Celebration was created to empower the Black community as well as advance the economic and cultural arts in underserved areas to champion small, Black-owned businesses. By showcasing Black creativity, ingenuity, and innovations, the Juneteenth NY Celebration's array of events push forward a positive and present-day Black history narrative. With this year's theme "Kaleidoscope of Black Culture", the weekend will feature the best in Black culture and community with live performances, exhibitions, authentic local cuisine, wellness and other family fun activities, including The Celebration of Black Kings Awards Dinner and Reception and the highly anticipated Juneteenth NYC Parade. Over the past 14 years, Juneteenth NY has grown and expanded exponentially from a local gathering to a nationally recognized event with this year's attendees expected to reach over 37,000+.
In honor of Black History Month and celebrating freedoms for all worldwide, the Juneteenth holiday promotes unity and builds self-esteem through reflection, education, and acknowledgment of African-American achievements. In 2021, historic and bipartisan legislation passed establishing Juneteenth as the newest Federal holiday, showcasing the power and progress of the work that continues to move African American history forward. Juneteenth NY Celebration encourages people of all races, nationalities, and ethnicities to join together to support and participate in Juneteenth celebrations locally and across the country - a true testament of resilience and humanity.
"We are beyond excited to bring the Juneteenth NY Celebration back bigger and better than ever in its 14th year as New York's premier event for the city to come together and celebrate our rich Black history that is embedded in the very fabric of this country. We are proud to continue the Juneteenth NY tradition and celebration as the largest gathering of Black people dedicated to elevating one another, providing a space for creativity, culture, and Black excellence," said Juneteenth NY's pioneer and visionary CEO/Founder, Athenia Rodney. "Recently we have witnessed an attack on Black history and African-American studies, but with events like Juneteenth NY Celebration, we can educate, uplift, and enlighten people everywhere and truly champion change by bringing Black history past, present and future to the forefront. Juneteenth NY is a safe space for our community, shifting the narrative and creating change that will have a lasting generational impact nationally and globally."
"WABC is a proud media sponsor of the Juneteenth NY Celebration, which recognizes the contributions of African-Americans and the power and strength of the human spirit," said Marilu Galvez, President and GM of WABC-TV. The WABC station-wide media partnership includes Juneteenth NY coverage on linear, digital, and social platforms.
The 14th Annual Juneteenth NY Celebration will be held (rain or shine). All events with the exception of The Celebration of Black Kings Awards Dinner and Reception are free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged. To learn more, please visit https://www.juneteenthny.com/.

About Juneteenth
Juneteenth - also known as "Juneteenth Independence Day" or "Freedom Day" - is a holiday that commemorates the June 19, 1865 announcement of the abolition of slavery in Galveston, Texas, and, more generally, the emancipation of African-American slaves throughout the Confederate South. The state official celebration is generally celebrated on June 19th and is now recognized as a national holiday. Juneteenth symbolically serves as a reference point from which to measure and appreciate the progress and contributions made by African-Americans to society.
About Juneteenth NY Celebration
Now in its 14th year, the Juneteenth NY Celebration is one of the longest-running events commemorating Juneteenth and the preeminent celebration of the holiday in the Tri-State area. Located in Brooklyn, the first Juneteenth NY Celebration was held in East New York and hosted by George Walker Jr. in 2009 with Umoja Events entrusted to carry on the Celebration in 2011. The Celebration was designed to celebrate and empower the Black community. Each year features a theme that seeks to educate the Black community on its history while also changing the narrative of the devastating impact of slavery.
