Initially, confusion stemmed from advice against vaccination for many women, said Marielle Bouyou Akotet, who leads the COVID-19 immunization plan in the central African nation of Gabon.

“As we did not know the effect of the vaccine on pregnant women, breastfeeding women and women who want to have a baby in the next six months, we recommended not to vaccinate this category,” said Bouyou Akotet, a professor at the University of Health Sciences in Libreville.

That recommendation was updated after several months, but many women in Gabon and elsewhere have still decided to skip vaccination altogether.

Oumie Nyassi shows a video circulating on the internet and that has been confirmed as fake news of a woman claiming she was magnetized after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, in a doctors office at Serrekunda, Gambia hospital, Thursday Sept. 23, 2021. Nyassi, 24, said that she would get the vaccine only after delivering her baby. As health officials in Gambia and across Africa urge women to be vaccinated, they've confronted hesitancy among those of childbearing age. Although data on gender breakdown of vaccine distribution are lacking globally, experts see a growing number of women in Africa's poorest countries consistently missing out on vaccines.

“‘If I take this vaccine, can I still conceive?’” patients ask Mariama Sonko, an infection control specialist at the Bundung hospital. “We tell them the research says it has nothing to do with that.”

But many women listen to stories instead of research. They hear about a woman who miscarried after her vaccination, at 11 weeks, and the fear spreads, even though pregnancy losses are common in the first trimester.

“What makes me afraid is what I heard on social media,” said Binta Balde, 29, who has been married for two years and has struggled to conceive. “That if you take the shot, you will not get pregnant.”

She’s visited the local health clinic and a traditional spiritual healer, who counseled her to swallow pieces of paper with Quranic verses and to drink tea made from herbs to boost fertility.

“When you get married and go to your husband’s house, you have to have a child,” she said. “If not, he could divorce you or leave you at any time. He may say, ‘She cannot give me a child, so I should look for another.’”

The rumors about COVID-19 and fertility have been especially troublesome in predominantly Muslim countries such as Gambia and Somalia, where polygamy is common.

“For Somali women, it means a lot to them,” said Abdikadir Ore Ahmed, a health specialist with CARE. “For you to stay in a family and a marriage, it’s expected you should be able to give birth to more children. The more children you have, the more acceptance you get.”

In Gambia, husbands must give permission for their wives’ medical procedures. Most women tell health care workers they won’t get the COVID-19 vaccine unless their spouse consents. But few husbands come to prenatal visits — only about half even attend their children’s birth at the Bundung hospital.

The hospital recently held an information session for fathers, where Manneh tried to explain the vaccine’s proven effectiveness.

“All the pregnant women coming here are not getting the vaccine because the husbands haven’t given their authorization,” he told the men. “Two of them have died. We are not forcing anybody, but lots of vaccine will expire soon.”

Fatoumata Nyabally’s job as a security officer puts her at heightened risk of contracting COVID-19, and she hasn’t been vaccinated. She’s seven months pregnant, but her husband did not attend Manneh’s presentation. He’s already refused to consent for his wife’s vaccination.

So Nyabally declined the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, telling workers: “He’s the head of the family, so I have to obey him in anything we do.”

Of the 100 women approached that day at the hospital, only nine agreed to be vaccinated.

Dear residents,

New Haven, like cities around the country, has been experiencing elevated levels of violent crime. In fact, last month the FBI reported that nationwide homicides rose 30% from 2019 to 2020. Violence in our community has led to tragic consequences, increased the level of trauma experienced by so many members of our community and led to irreparable loss of life. I’m sure that you, like me, agree that public safety is our top priority and feel that we must do everything possible to keep all members of our community safe.  

There has been a lot of discussion nationwide as to what is leading to the rise in violent crime. Most analysis points to a mixture of things – the temporary halt at the height of the pandemic of many violence interruption programs that have historically been effective, the economic and mental health impacts of the pandemic leading to extreme stress, some deterioration of trust between community and police, and the dramatic increase of gun purchases.

Here in New Haven, we are seeing a combination of sources of violence - some group and gang-related violence, some fights between individuals, some domestic violence incidents. It’s important for members of the public to understand that the overwhelming majority of the violent crime that we see is between people who know each other—these incidents are not random.

Our team has been working since last summer to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to confront gun violence – through a combination of community policing, violence interruption programs, expansion of the use of technology, restructuring and better integrating our programs, and increasing resources to communities targeted at the roots of the problem.

Three weeks ago, my administration and the Board of Alders created a new department—the Department of Community Resilience. This new department will oversee six interconnected areas (1) violence prevention (2) mental health (3) homelessness (4) community crisis response (5) re-entry support (6) harm reduction. And, two weeks ago we announced a new partnership with CT Against Gun Violence to help design our new Office of Violence Prevention. These challenges are interrelated, and our new office will help us approach them more holistically.

The Office of Violence Prevention is one of several initiatives we’re taking to combat violent crime. The following are other steps we’re are taking to confront this challenge.

Re-entry Welcome CenterIn February of this year New Haven, through a partnership with project M.O.R.E. opened a re-entry welcome center. This one stop shop offers wrap around services, such as job training, counseling, housing, and substance abuse services for individuals re-entering the community. These services aim to reduce recidivism and keep individuals from re-entering a cycle of violence. Re-entry was a key component of President Joe Biden’s anti-gun violence proposal

BOkAbuP2_hH40giYChb7B2eam3FEb_NF9ul6fmZkvC2UtKlu_PftWa0LLovDBcfHiue9HDkU0nm-oFA4AIJsFTi9-fBnIvrnAAD8m1sfW-z0b1yR1815S7xOV_H0qEwCQCY1TiRI96cZdvDqbXlrme848rBJHwZ1SkyY6Q=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20href=
 
Shooting Task Force: In June of this year the city of New Haven announced that the New Haven Police Department has reformed the shooting task force. By partnering with West Haven, East Haven, Hamden, Meriden, and Yale Police Departments as well as federal and state law enforcement partners the New Haven Police Department is able to more quickly identify linkages between shootings. This increased collaboration is already paying dividends and has led to arrests of shooters. 

Engaging Individuals at High Risk: The New Haven Police Department in collaboration with the Department of Justice has re-started Project Longevity and Project Safe Neighborhood call-ins. And the city’s Youth and Recreation Department expanded its’ Youth Connect Program. These programs are designed to bring in individuals known to be associated with violence. These evidence-based interventions were severely impacted by the pandemic but since early 2021 the city has significantly increased the frequency of these call ins when compared to normal times.  

Increased Youth Programing: As part of our “summer rest” the city of New Haven’s Youth and Recreation Department invested more than $1.5 million into summer youth programing. That programing included extended summer camps, more youth employment opportunities, a summer concert, and neighborhood pop-up events. President Joe Biden named youth engagement as a key area of focus in his plan to address violent crime. 

Increased Police Walking and Bicycle Beats: Through additional overtime, the New Haven Police Department increased the presence of officers in communities. There are more bicycle and walking beats in city neighborhoods than there were in 2020. 

More Street Outreach Workers: The city of New Haven has increased its’ investment into the Connecticut Violence Intervention Program. This program is led by a former Chief Probation Officer and employs returning citizens to engage directly with individuals at risk of violence. This year the city doubled the number of street outreach workers. 

Expansion of Cameras and Shot Spotter: The New Haven Police Department is actively pursuing expansion of the shot spotter system as well as expanding the number of cameras in the city. These will assist in faster response times and increased solve-rates. 

Rebuilding the Police DepartmentFor several years the New Haven Police Department lost officers to surrounding communities faster than we could replace them. The city is working to rebuild the depart and fill the 70+ vacant positions. The city announced a new recruitment period beginning September 13th – which will allow for a new academy class. But, new police classes take a long time – so the city is also hiring trained officers already serving in other communities.

Taking Guns Off the StreetThe New Haven Police Department has increased its efforts to take guns off the street. Since January 1, 2021 the NHPD has made 153-gun arrests and confiscated 157 guns. A significant increase from years’ past. In addition to increasing gun arrests and seizures, the New Haven Police Department hosted a gun buy-back earlier this year and plans to host more in the future. 
 
 
It’s important to note that this list isn’t comprehensive. Our team is doing even more, and we can’t do this alone. We need members of the community to help as well by holding each other accountable and reporting information to help us solve crimes. If you have information on a crime, you can call our anonymous tip line: 1-866-888-TIPS (8477)

My team and I are committed to addressing this challenge and we will continue to find new and innovative ways to do so. Protecting the health and safety of our residents is and will always be my number one priority.

Always serving you,
Mayor Justin Elicker
New Haven, CT

Mr. MooQ, an artist that has been shrouded in a mysterious persona, sometimes an enigma, more times a witty and vibrant living commentary on musicx taking a direction of curious infamy, has released a new video.His latest creation Retro Girl has only been available to view on his YouTube channel, and on streaming platforms for a short time, and it has already garnered the attention of the Independent music scene and is the talk of the trade.Retro Girl is a romantic song that takes you into his heart, to see his love as she was, and freezes that image in time, forever young and beautiful, to dance and love as one for all eternity.In consideration, I would place Mr. MooQ in the same musical realms of his contemporary artists, the late Warren Zevon and the prolific Randy Newman. Both mentioned artist are known for their works including pays on words, creative analogues and taking music and prose to create audio paintings that morph into mental images that entertain and inspire.This latest track is the first since the release of his last song titled “No One”, which listed as the top track in the much respected Digital Radio Tracker chart for the Top 150 Independent Airplay Chart for Independent Music released this season.While presently listing favorably in the Global Top 200 chart simultaneously, it is no surprise that given his musical talent and pedigree of experience, the amazing and mysterious Mr. MooQ shows his fans old and new a brighter side of melodic bliss and continues to traverse the edge of creativity.Mr. MooQ writes and produces music alive with “feeling.” His thought-provoking lyrics are sung with a different spin, combining beautiful melodies with powerful grooves. Though the beats may change and the production will vary, every song tells a story and is written from the heart.For as long as he can remember, Mr. MooQ has always felt a passion and a flair for the creativity of music coursing through his soul. No matter the day’s activities and distractions it seemed music was ever present with melodies and lyrics in his thought processes. So it was natural for him as he grew older to explore how he could incorporate music more fully into his life.As an award winning musical artist and performer, he has enjoyed the accolades of success, including a Cleo in the advertising industry and developing music for numerous industries and commercial productions. He became sought out for his production talents, but still stove for perfecting his personal genre and style.Mr. MooQ has refined his musical sound into a hybrid genre that he refers to as EDM-Lite/Synth/Pop, evolving it to the next level. Calling upon his life experiences, this new music reflects on life’s intricacies and nuances combining thoughtful and witty lyrics with catchy melodies that often are very ‘danceable’, but also thought provoking.Check out Mr. MooQ’s latest musical efforts. You might just find that musical voice for which you have been looking.

Artist Spotlight: Ryte Eye Ty

Multi talented vocal artist, entrepreneur, label owner/CEO Ty Webb, AKA Ryte Eye Ty, who had taken the YouTube and Socal Media world by storm last year at this time with the release of his inspiring and highly emotional track and companion video FREEDOM  has come full circle with the newly released lyric video for his new beat-fest power track Swing Baby.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

SOP: Ty, first off, thank you for making this interview possible, my first question.. If you were to explain who you are to one who is not familiar with your music, how would you introduce yourself and your music?

Hi thanks for having me on your platform once again I’m grateful.  Yes I would introduce myself as a regular guy whose passion is everything music and I think that it reflects in the many different ways that I write. My music no matter which genre, it   always tells a story.

SOP: let’s take a moment to rewind; last year at this time, you released Freedom, a track that was both powerful and spiritually moving, what was the inspiration behind it, and now, one year later, what has been the result of that creativity.

The inspiration behind Freedom was the death of Michael Brown, I wanted to write something that I felt like all people, and especially my people could understand and relate to. See you may not understand what it feels like to be black but I know you know the pain of loss and that’s what I wanted to reach that very thing that everyone could relate too.  The song actually brought a lot of light to us and propelled us onto another level.

SOP: Ty, you are a Multi talented vocal artist, entrepreneur, label owner/CEO with a list of creative credentials that would be a list of lifetime achievements for many, but for you, just a starting point, a warm up, what is next for you, both as an artist and more.

Well we are excited to announce that we (our company, One Way Up Entertainment) just inked a distribution deal with.. get this, Vall Bungalo / Universal Music Group. We are very excited that the Bungalo/Universal family has welcomed us in and we are looking forward to releasing some really great music and signing artist eventually to our label

SOP: Where did it all start for you, what was the moment you realized you were destined for this life in creativity?

It started at an middle school bus stop with my cousin Angel Morgan and Gene Cochran in Pompano Beach to what the world knows as 1800 block but the moment I truly knew is when I wrote my first song “Don’t Go” at the Pompano mall (pompano city center)

SOP: Moving forward, tell us about the new track Swing Baby, it is phenomenal, what’s the back story?

Swing baby has a two part back story first I wanted to write about the edgy side of our Miami Streets but it’s also a song about a cute little dance my wife does and I promised her that when I found the right beat I would create a song for her . Little did we know it would be Swing Baby but we’re grateful it is. Swing Baby will be released Sept 3rd of this year.

SOP: You created the track featuring the talents of Klubjumpers, but who is the voice in the lyric video, sounds so ethereal, so mystical?

The young lady on the tracks name is Tyler Royale she’s a phenomenally gifted singer out of Atlanta Georgia. Definitely watch out for her.

SOP: What is next to come from the music lab?

We are going to be releasing more singles through One Way Up Entertainment/Bungalo Records/Universal Music Group. Our next release will feature Tyler once more, she is a pleasure to be working with.

SOP: What would you tell someone who is aspiring to become a creative mind like yourself, what words of inspiration can you present?

I would say your “Nay Sayers” will be many and your supporters very few, just keep believing always be grateful and thankful, always be open to foster healthy relationships in this business.  You will experience every emotion that comes with this just enjoy the process because even in difficult times there’s lessons to be learned.  Always be willing to go outside of the box, stay true to your beliefs receive what you’re believing for even If it hasn’t appeared and remember right outside of fear lies your destiny.

SOP: Anything you may wish to tell our readers?  I just want to say thank you thank you thank you from the depths of our hearts we are grateful you give us a platform to show our gifts and talents to the world. We understand that without you we couldn’t be as creative as we like so thank you for every stream, every save,  every share like and any and everything you do to support us thank you so much. You only get to see our lives from one perspective but I want to show you another. Blessings, Positivity, Love , and Light.

FreeWorldEmpire/Bungalo Universal Music Group Release



ZaRio is an extremely talented artist, producer, and songwriter. Often being compared to music geniuses such as Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Brian McKnight, due to the likeness in musical style. The singer, songwriter was classically trained and is educated in the field of R&B by vocal coach, Cynnamyn.

At just 8 years old ZaRio discovered his passion for music. After joining his middle school choir, he found himself falling even more in love with the arts. Fast forward to his teenage years, where he began to lead and organize the youth in Atlanta as well as other parts of the country.


That jump-started his love for activism, which led him to become a seasoned, motivational speaker with a passion for leadership, change, and personal development in his community and around the world. Between music and activism, ZaRio found it hard to balance both with his activism, usually outshining his love for music.

Now he’s set his sights on returning to music by releasing his debut single, She Don’t Know Love, with co-producer Errol “EZ” Taylor which includes catchy melodic sounds and beautiful harmonies that will touch your soul. ZaRio is bringing R&B back to the spotlight and doing so at an incredibly fast rate as he quickly climbs up the charts, and takes over streaming platforms as his latest song approaches 1,000,000 streams in its first few weeks and has hit the top ten on iTunes Charts.

ZaRio takes his role as an inspiration seriously, and in addition to his music, he heeded the call to activism, ZaRio envisioned his role as one of being a graceful leader in both music and manner, carrying himself as a gentleman in all ways. As in the video for “She Don’t Know Love”, he offers his admiration with respect and with true sincerity.

ZaRio also recently released a hit song to go along with his recent track which followed the singer through a beautiful snowy setting that takes your breath away in every scene. The video has attracted over 1,000,000 views globally in its first 30 days. The young star is just getting started as he plans to release his first EP, Sorry to Keep You Waiting, later in the year as a nod to R&B music fans across the world. You can download and stream his music on all platforms right now.

ZaRio stands to be an inspiration to others while being himself, a true Gentleman.

Zario is currently charting on Billboard at #29 on the R&B Airplay Charts.

ZaRio stands to be an inspiration to others while being himself, a true Gentleman.



ZaRio is an extremely talented artist, producer, and songwriter. Often being compared to music geniuses such as Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, and Brian McKnight, due to the likeness in musical style. The singer, songwriter was classically trained and is educated in the field of R&B by vocal coach, Cynnamyn.


At just 8 years old ZaRio discovered his passion for music. After joining his middle school choir, he found himself falling even more in love with the arts. Fast forward to his teenage years, where he began to leaad and organize the youth in Atlanta as well as other parts of the country.


That jump-started his love for activism, which led him to become a seasoned, motivational speaker with a passion for leadership, change, and personal development in his community and around the world. Between music and activism, ZaRio found it hard to balance both with his activism, usually outshining his love for music.



Now he’s set his sights on returning to music by releasing his debut single, She Don’t Know Love, with co-producer Errol “EZ” Taylor which includes catchy melodic sounds and beautiful harmonies that will touch your soul. ZaRio is bringing R&B back to the spotlight and doing so at an incredibly fast rate as he quickly climbs up the charts, and takes over streaming platforms as his latest song approaches 1,000,000 streams in its first few weeks and has hit the top ten on iTunes Charts.


ZaRio takes his role as an inspiration seriously, and in addition to his music, he heeded the call to activism, ZaRio envisioned his role as one of being a graceful leader in both music and manner, carrying himself as a gentleman in all ways. As in the video for “She Don’t Know Love”, he offers his admiration with respect and with true sincerity.


ZaRio also recently released a hit song to go along with his recent track which followed the singer through a beautiful snowy setting that takes your breath away in every scene. The video has attracted over 1,000,000 views globally in its first 30 days. The young star is just getting started as he plans to release his first EP, Sorry to Keep You Waiting, later in the year as a nod to R&B music fans across the world. You can download and stream his music on all platforms right now.


 

#9 on the R&B iTunes Charts

Summer is upon us, but its not too late to sign up your child or loved one for one of our exciting Youth Summer Camps.

 

Earlier this year, the City of New Haven dedicated $1.5 million toward youth engagement as part of our Summer Reset Program. Those funds are helping us expand summer camps, create a counselor-in-training programs, as well as expand the options of outdoor youth activities – such as kayaking, biking, and archery.

 

This past year has presented a number of challenges, particularly challenges shouldered by young people. Summer camps are a great way for children to exercise their mind and body, re-connect with old friends, and make some new friends along the way.

 

Summer camps begin June 28th with additional sessions starting in mid and late July. Camps are open to all kids and are available for kids 5 years of age or older.

 

You can find more information on how to sign up your child for summer camp online by visiting the Youth and Rec department’s page on Newhaven.gov or by calling (203) 946-7582
