Journey and Music Creation: Infusing Cultures into Melody

Rachael’s journey is a testament to the power of travel as a source of inspiration and connection. Her experiences across the globe have enriched her life and infused her music with the vibrant colors and unique flavors of different cultures. For Rachael, travel is about more than just visiting new places; it is about forming meaningful connections with others. She believes that the essence of a journey lies in balancing the pursuit of dreams with the ability to savor the present moment.

Rachael shares, “Journey means a balance of a dream of where you’re going and the ability to be in the present moment and to enjoy it, because that really is what your life is about. It’s about that journey of experience of meeting new people, of seeing how you grow, and traveling is what does that for me. Experiencing new cultures, new ideas, new energies of the places I go.”

Connection: Unmasking Authenticity Through Music

The documentary delves into the significance of connection in both music and life. Rachael explains, “Connection to me is about authentic relation with those around you, taking off the mask and realizing that we are in this together and in every way and picking up on all of the subtleties of what we don’t always say. And having that courage to not judge, to have empathy, and to really feel like we can be honest with one another.”

For Rachael, connection means being genuine, removing masks, and embracing empathy and inclusivity. Music serves as a powerful conduit for deep connections, allowing individuals to release emotions and experience a profound sense of unity. “I think the real connection that I love about music is another permission slip to just deep dive. You can be alone listening to music and feel this incredible release. Because it translates that emotion that’s stuck in there, and the music does it, the lyrics do it, the concept of the… the journey arc of the song, all of it contributes to that feeling.”

New Journey in 2025

Looking ahead, Rachael is set to embark on a new journey in 2025 with the release of a new album. This project represents the culmination of a creative process that involves writing, recording, and sharing her music with the world.

“I must complete that journey first, that journey of taking the ideas, writing the songs, recording them, mixing them, doing the artwork, releasing the album to the world,” Rachael shares, “After that, we’ll see what is intriguing. I think that’s how you find the best journey, is some spark lights within you and tells you where to go next. And you just follow that, and you have a really great time.”

The collaboration between Rachael Yamagata and TESSAN offers a fresh perspective for those passionate about travel and music. By merging these two worlds, they inspire people to explore the globe with renewed enthusiasm, creating more opportunities for resonance and exchange. This partnership exemplifies the power of collaboration in fostering connections and igniting the spirit of adventure.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
