Kamala Harris Explains Her Love Of Converse On “Sneaker Shopping”

Kamala Harris is currently the Vice Presidential Candidate for the Democratic Party, as Joe Biden looks to win the presidency from Donald Trump. Harris has been working hard to campaign for her running mate, and she has also made some ploys to connect to younger voters. For instance, Harris has proclaimed her love of Tupac while also wearing Timberlands coming off of a flight. Needless to say, Harris is trying to show that she’s just like the rest of us, and it’s all culminated in an appearance on Complex’s show “Sneaker Shopping.”

In this episode, Harris, and host Joe La Puma went to Social Status in Charlotte, North Carolina, where Harris stressed the need to support black-owned businesses. Of course, Social Status is one of these businesses given that it is owned by James Whitner, who has helped turn the store into a beacon of the community.

“Part of what Joe and I are saying is we are going to intentionally focus on minority-owned businesses around getting low-interest loans and access to capital,” Harris said. “So they can grow like what [James Whitner] has done. Because we don’t lack for creative ideas. We don’t lack for innovation. We lack access to capital.”

Harris also got to speak at length about her love of Converse and how she was told to change out of a pair of Chuck Taylor’s after wearing them on the Senate floor. She then got to speak about James Whitner’s Social Status x Nina Chanel Converse Chuck Taylor which features a unique design, as well as some pins that urge people to vote all while displaying unity.

The Senator ended up purchasing a pair while also donating another 21 pairs to Johnson C. Smith University.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
