Dr. Cheyenne Bryant (MTV TEEN MOM) speaks to Vaughn Lowery of 360 MAGAZINE about men's mental health.

DR. BRYANT × MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH

Dr. Cheyenne Bryant is a life coach and prolific therapist of fifteen years who has been featured on MTV’s Teen Mom.

As of late, this published author and President of the NAACP (chapter 1069) decided to shed light on men’s mental stability during the culmination of June. Moreover, in front of July 4th, she engaged in an honest, heart-felt discussion with Vaughn. The candid conversation delicately danced around a myriad of social constructs, which seemed to hinder a man’s ability to embrace vulnerability.

Apparently, Lowery has been inundated with overwhelming circumstances, of which both 360 and its constituents face death and dark spaces. Lastly, Dr. Bryant presented a plethora of options that can further assist him and other marginalized men, allowing them to selflessly coexist along their counterparts.

ZAMBIA: A SAFARI LOVER’S DREAM

Zambia, one of Africa’s best-kept secrets, is a safari lover’s paradise. With its vast wilderness, stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity, Zambia offers some of the most authentic safari experiences on the continent. Home to 20 national parks and 36 game management areas, this country provides numerous opportunities to witness the Big 5 and beyond in their natural habitat. Whether you’re an experienced safari-goer or a first-time visitor, you’ll find nearly everything you need to know here to make the most of your safari adventure in Zambia.

When to go

Dry Season (May to October): These months are ideal for game viewing as animals gather around water sources. The weather is cooler and vegetation is less dense, making wildlife easier to spot. This is also the best time for walking safaris in South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi National Parks.

Wet Season (November to April): The wet season is perfect for birdwatching and lush landscapes. The rain transforms Zambia into a green paradise, with migratory birds arriving and newborn animals dotting the plains. Victoria Falls is most impressive during the rainy season, with the highest water flow typically between February and May.

Where to visit in Zambia 

South Luangwa National Park

South Luangwa National Park is renowned as the birthplace of the walking safari, a unique experience that allows visitors to explore the bush on foot with knowledgeable guides. This park is particularly famous for its high density of leopards, which are often spotted lounging in trees or prowling through the bush, giving the area the name Valley of the Leopard. Along the Luangwa River, visitors can observe large pods of hippos and sunbathing crocodiles, as well as plenty of elephant herds that drink from the water. The park’s diverse habitat supports a wide variety of wildlife and is renowned for world-class bird watching. South Luangwa offers a rich safari experience with its intimate bush walks and excellent game viewing opportunities.

Myke Towers – La Pantera Negra

Global superstar Myke Towers releases “La Pantera Negra,” his sixth studio album, exploring his musical origins and the sounds that propelled his career nearly a decade ago. “La Pantera Negra” is now available on all digital platforms through Warner Music Latina.

In this record, Myke returns to his core and the rhythms that first won over his fans – rap and reggaeton – while breaking stereotypes in Latin music. With powerful melodies and lyrics, “La Pantera Negra” is the most ambitious album of his career, solidifying his status as a global star.

La Pantera Negra is a gift for those who’ve been there since day one. With this album, I wanted to return to my roots, my essence, to what I truly love doing musically,” said Myke. “This album represents maturity; the experiences I’ve lived have allowed me to expand my vocabulary, which has evolved my lyrics, my bars. It took months of work and long hours in the studio with Full Harmony, Benjamin Lasnier, and Ovy On The Drums. I stealthily let that black panther and its fury out in each of these songs. I hope you learn them quickly so we can sing them together soon on tour,” he added.

Lyrically, the album presents a mature Myke, showcasing his linguistic evolution and songwriting prowess across 20 tracks. Musically, the Puerto Rican star demonstrates his growth and hard work at the studio alongside renowned producers such as Full Harmony, Benjamin Lasnier and Ovy On The Drums.

The album’s lead single, “Adivino,” a groundbreaking collaboration with Bad Bunny, debuted at #12 on Spotify’s Global Chart. Less than a week after its release, the hit claimed the top spot on Billboard’s Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.

La Pantera Negra” also features tracks like “La Primera Vez” with NTG and “Otra Noche” featuring Darell.

The album includes powerful collaborations with chart-topping artists such as Spanish singer Omar Montes on “Dinero y Fama” and Mexican star Peso Pluma on “Se Te Nota.” The collaboration with La Doble P was accompanied by a spectacular music video directed by Filmheadz, now available on YouTube. Also, the steamy reggaeton track “Hasta La Vista” premiered on Apple Music hours before the album’s release and is featured as the cover of the platform’s New Music Daily playlist.

Puerto Rico is well-represented with appearances by Cosculluela, YOVNGCHIMI, and Jay Wheeler.

La Pantera Negra” arrives in a year marked by success for Myke. The rapper released a hugely successful collaboration with world-renowned DJ Tiësto on the remix of “LA FALDA,” partnered with MLB for the “El Béisbol es Otra Cosa” campaign, received a nomination at the 2024 MTV VMAs for his global hit “LALA” in the Best Latin category, and graced the covers of Billboard Latino and Rolling Stone en Español, as well as their regional editions in Colombia, Mexico, and Spain.

In October, Myke will bring his new album to the stage with his “La Pantera Negra” tour, produced by Live Nation. The tour kicks off on October 2nd in Fairfax, Virginia, and will take the Puerto Rican star to 18 cities across the United States and Canada. Tickets are on sale now.

MGK DAY

This year, the city of Cleveland will watch its hometown hero and multi-platinum recording artist, mgk, curate MGK Day. In recognition of mgk’s impact, the annual charity event serves as a celebration of unity, compassion, and community spirit. From Aug. 9 – Aug. 13, fans will savor everything Cleveland-bred, as the weekend-long activation will have food, music, and vendors leading to MGK Day on Aug. 13, where the revered legend will be throwing the first pitch at Progressive Field when the Cleveland Guardians host the Chicago Cubs.

A special treat awaits the first 10,000 fans who enter Progressive Field—a custom bag of 27 Club Coffee, exclusively available for early attendees. This past Friday, mgk surprised the crowd at Progressive Field by appearing on-field during the Cleveland Guardians post-game fireworks show.

Two years ago, mgk delivered a sold-out concert for 50,000 fans at FirstEnergy Stadium, making him the first and only Ohio native to sell out the stadium. This historic event happened after Mayor Justin Bibb officially proclaimed August 13th “Machine Gun Kelly Day.”

mgk recently released “Lonely Road” with Jelly Road, which debuted in the top 40 on the Hot 100. “Lonely Road” showcases who mgk is in today’s music landscape: a multi-faceted musician who pivots between genres through live instrumentation. mgk’s catalog will be highlighted throughout the weekend, as well as his famed album Hotel Diablo, celebrating its fifth-year anniversary.

VERSACE – GRECA LOGO DIVER WATCH

Versace introduces the Greca Logo Diver Watch. This sporty timepiece perfectly embodies geometric sophistication and masculine style, making it a standout addition to the season’s lineup.

The Greca Logo Diver features a distinctive round-shaped case that contrasts elegantly with its rectangular bracelet links. The top ring, adorned with signature screws and the iconic Greca motif, ensures immediate brand recognition. Adding to its luxurious appeal, the dial showcases the Versace logo at 6 o’clock and the emblematic Medusa head at 12 o’clock. The diver screw crown, positioned at 2 o’clock, is highlighted by a bold red detail that is also reflected on the dial, enhancing the watch’s sport-luxury image.

This powerful watch is a stunning statement piece that truly speaks for itself. The Greca Logo Diver Watch is more than just a timepiece; it is a statement of refined athleticism and sophisticated design, perfect for those who appreciate sport and luxury.

Versace’s Greca Logo Diver is available at Versace.comNeimanmarcus.comNordstrom.com.
