内容摘要：While Gilgeous-Alexander has garnered most of the attention for the Thunder this season, Williams quietly has stacked up accolades and played a key role in their league-best 68-14 regular-season record. Williams was named an All-Star for the first time, then was selected third-team All-NBA and second-team all-defense.

While Gilgeous-Alexander has garnered most of the attention for the Thunder this season, Williams quietly has stacked up accolades and played a key role in their league-best 68-14 regular-season record. Williams was named an All-Star for the first time, then was selected third-team All-NBA and second-team all-defense.

“I’m very moved to have been given the chance to become part of this space, which also heals me,” she added. “We can show that we exist and we are more than just a story. We are bodies, desires, feelings, and the pain we carry.”There’s a special play written and directed by Castillo: “Dreaming of Africa.”

Although she has not been able to trace the exact roots of her ancestry, her work and community make her feel closer to a long-lost home.“When we, people from the same ethnicity meet, we call each other ‘brother,’” Castillo said. “After all, we came from the same ports.”She said she’ll never forget a presentation of “Dreaming of Africa,” when a girl from the audience approached her.

“She could barely speak, so we hugged,” Castillo said. “Then she said: ’Thank you for telling me I’m pretty, for making me feel my worth’.”Castillo, too, learns something about herself as she acts, writes and directs. It’s like peeling an onion, she said, taking layer by layer to reveal what’s underneath.

“I grow with each play,” Castillo said. “I feel prouder of my roots, knowing that I can move away from stereotypes like playing a prostitute or a witch. That I, too, can be a queen.”

and casting the outspoken Democratic Party candidate as a dangerous, hardline populist whose economic promises are detached from reality.For days, Kim’s camp has seized on what appeared to be a casual comment by Lee about the profitability of running coffee shops during a May 16 campaign rally in Gunsan city.

Lee was touting his past policy as Gyeonggi Province governor in 2019, when he relocated unlicensed food vendors from the province’s popular mountain streams to clean up and revitalize tourist areas.Lee said he offered to help vendors transition to legitimate businesses and suggested it would be far more profitable to sell coffee than their labor-intensive chicken porridge. Lee said he noted that a cup of coffee could sell for 8,000 to 10,000 won ($5.8 to $7.3), while the raw cost of beans was just 120 won (9 cents).
