Grandparents' Day Celebrates Stories of Overcoming Challenges, Art, and Wisdom that Inspire Generations

This Sunday, July 26th, the world celebrates Grandparents' Day, a date dedicated to recognizing the love, dedication, and teachings of those who play a fundamental role in the formation of families and society. The celebration honors Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, parents of Mary and grandparents of Jesus Christ, according to the tradition of the Catholic Church. The date is also a special moment to highlight inspiring journeys, such as that of the artisan Joana Lopes, 83 years old, affectionately known as "Ju Fuxiqueira". Recognized for her work with recycled fabrics and for valuing sustainable crafts, Joana won second place in the costume design contest of the Balaio Verde Project, conceived by environmental activist, journalist, and columnist Luzia Moraes, with a costume made for the journalist, presenter, and CEO of Rádio Doinha Prata Web FM, Brazil, Africa, Portugal, and Jamaica, in addition to the programs EI!!! Are You There?! and the Voice of Angola, hosted by Angolan journalist, writer, and speaker Azenaida Miguel. Another honoree is Odete Crispina, a reference of talent, resilience, and love for popular culture. At 78 years old, she remains active as a percussionist, artisan, dancer, storyteller, actress, and voice actress. In her artistic career, she has worked alongside names like Magary Lord, Wilson Café, and Sarajane, accumulating experiences that enrich Bahian culture. Odete is part of the traditional group Samba de Roda Vida e Tradição, conceived and led by vocalist Glofeuda (Kell). With over 15 years of history, the group has Ivanzinho Pacapuco as its teacher and master, responsible for teaching, guiding, and transmitting knowledge to its members for eight years. Under his leadership, the project strengthens the preservation of the roots of samba de roda and contributes to the cultural development of its participants. On this Grandparents' Day, the tribute extends to all grandfathers and grandmothers on the planet, especially those who, through art, education, culture, and love, leave eternal marks on the generations that succeed them. More than celebrating a date, July 26th is an opportunity to thank grandparents for their legacy of affection, wisdom, and inspiration—values ​​that continue to transform lives and strengthen families around the world. @doinhaprata

"The Beauty That Time Has Not Erased"

Súca Anjos Debuts on the Runway at 63 and Advocates for a Purposeful Fashion At 64, Súca Anjos proves that dreams have no expiration date. Born in Salvador and raised in São Paulo, the senior model, actress, and social celebrant began her runway career at 63, after being discovered by the May Agency. Her debut was modeling for the Dressed brand. The daughter of a carpenter and an extraordinary woman who raised 11 children with limited resources, Súca grew up in a reality of scarcity. It was by adapting donated clothes that she discovered, as a young girl, the power of fashion as an expression of identity, dignity, and care. A graduate in Business Administration, she worked as a nanny, domestic worker, factory worker, and in an office before rediscovering the dream she had carried since childhood. Today, she represents the 60+ generation on the catwalk and believes that fashion goes far beyond aesthetics: it's a tool for representation, inclusion, authenticity, transformation, and awareness. Besides modeling, she also works as an actress and social celebrant, uniting art, emotion, and purpose in everything she does. In her three pillars, as an actress, she portrays stories; as a celebrant, she tells stories; and as a senior model, she embodies stories. “Some dreams don't have an expiration date. They simply transcend time.” Súca Anjos, 64 years old Born in Salvador (BA) | Senior Model, Actress and Social Celebrant @sucaanjos

Gonorréia Enters History and Consolidates Bahian Rock as Cultural Heritage

Founded by Eduardo Scott, the band made its mark alongside names like Camisa de Vênus, Trem Fantasma, and Delirium Tremens, becoming one of the main references for rock produced in Salvador. Their performances in alternative spaces, such as Circo Relâmpago and Circo Troca de Segredos, helped strengthen the underground scene in the Bahian capital. With its inclusion in the City of Music of Bahia, located in the Casarão dos Azulejos Azuis, in Comércio, opposite the Mercado Modelo, Gonorréia's trajectory is preserved for future generations, reaffirming the importance of rock in the construction of Bahia's cultural diversity and Brazilian music.

BNI Planner Celebrates First Million While the Second Already Appears on the Horizon

Some numbers fit in a spreadsheet. Others gain a face, a story, and a memory. Launched in September 2025, BNI Planner reached its first million in business generated by members in just a few months. On July 11, 2026, the group gathered to celebrate this achievement. According to Érica Kniezel, consulting director of the BNI Planner Group, the first million had already been reached before the party. Now, the group is approaching R$ 2 million. An achievement built by many hands The Million Party brought together members and their families for an evening of joy, affection, and belonging. The result does not belong to a single company. It represents entrepreneurs who decided to share paths, open doors, generate referrals, and contribute to each other's growth. The celebration featured delicious food prepared by Enovi Buffet & Events, live music with Ronnye Kassio and Messias Xavier, members of the Banda Conexão Jah, and ended with a lively square dance. That night, the million ceased to be just a number. It became a hug, music, a meeting, and a memory. In the BNI Planner, each member helps the other grow. Within the group, participants learn about each other's services, differentiators, and ideal client profiles. This allows them to recognize opportunities and generate business referrals with more confidence. In practice, each member becomes part of the others' sales team. Business owners interested in expanding their network can attend a BNI Planner meeting, held at Terra dos Dinos, on the third floor of ParkJacarepaguá, in Jacarepaguá. Perhaps the next partnership will begin with a conversation. The first million became a party. The second is approaching. May the Two Million Party come soon.
