West Ottawa High School Senior Nayeli Mora was recently named the 2021 Youth of the Year for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Holland.

Three NBA playoff games have been boycotted tonight in response to Jacob Blake, an UNARMED Black man who was shot by police 7 times leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Blake was shot on Sunday in Kenosha, Wisconsin in front of his 3 young kids. We’ve tried peaceful protests, riots and nothing has changed. Police are flagrantly abusing their power and enough is enough. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again BLACK. LIVES. MATTER. ... Images courtesy of @sportscenter.
