The first stop will be at the Southampton African American Museum (SAAM), founded by Brenda Simmons. “I’m proud to say this is SAAM’s 3rd year partnering with ART & SOUL: Hamptons. They have been profoundly instrumental in inviting, enlightening, and engaging visitors from near and far to the Hamptons, who are discovering the rich history of art and culture contributed by the BIPOC community”, says Simmons. Artist Alvin Clayton’s latest art collection premieres at SAAM on July 20th.

The second stop will be at the Southampton Arts Center, featuring artwork by various artists participating in the ‘Beyond The Streets: Post Graffiti’ art exhibition. Southampton Art Center’s mission is building community through the Arts, and we are delighted to once again collaborate with ART & SOUL: Hamptons and our neighbors at SAAM and Ma’s House to welcome all to the center and engage with us!” says Strassfield.

The third and final stop of the art walk will be at Hidden Gem NY, a home decor and lifestyle boutique owned by sisters Tanya Willock and Temidra Willock-Morsch. After visiting the vibrant art organizations in Southampton, a private brunch will be co-hosted by Brown Skin Brunchin’.

The festival wraps up with an opening reception to celebrate artist Alvin Clayton‘s residency at the Southampton African American Museum, which is available for viewing through October 2024. Guests will enjoy an interactive digital experience, live music and entertainment, soul food and Caribbean bites, and Caribbean-inspired cocktails sponsored by New England Sweetwater.

Tegy Inc. Launches the ‘Netflix of Freight’: A Revolutionary 49.99 Dollars Subscription for Transparent Logistics

Published

on

United States, 15th Apr 2026 –  The era of the “middleman tax” in the trucking industry is officially over. Today, Tegy Inc. is proud to announce the nationwide launch of its disruptive freight platform, internally dubbed the “Netflix of Freight.” By replacing traditional, opaque broker margins with a simple, flat-rate monthly subscription of just $49.99, Tegy Inc. is handing the power: and the profits: back to the people who actually do the work: the carriers and owner-operators.

For decades, the logistics industry has operated in the shadows. Traditional brokers often pocket anywhere from 15% to 30% of a shipper’s rate before a carrier even sees the load. Tegy Inc. is here to shatter that model.

The Problem: Why You’re Working Harder for Less Money

If you’re a carrier, you know the drill. You see a load on a public board, you call the broker, and you haggle for a rate that barely covers your fuel and insurance. What you don’t see is the thousands of dollars left on the table. When a broker takes a 25% cut on a $4,000 load, that’s $1,000 out of your pocket: for a few emails and a phone call.

We think that’s wrong. We believe the person steering the 80,000-pound rig through a snowstorm deserves every penny of that shipper’s rate.

The Solution: The “Netflix of Freight” Model

At Tegy Inc., we’ve simplified everything. We are a licensed, bonded, and insured freight broker (US DOT: 4452741, MC# 1754922), but we don’t act like a traditional one. We don’t take a percentage. We don’t hide the “real” rate.

Instead, we offer a flat-rate subscription. For $49.99 a month, members get full access to our platform. When you book a Tegy load, you keep 100% of the exact shipper rate. There are zero hidden fees, zero surprise deductions, and zero “broker math.”

Do the Math: One Load Pays for the Year

Let’s look at the numbers because the math doesn’t lie.

• Traditional Broker Scenario: You book a load for $2,000. The broker took $500 (20%) off the top. You walk away with $2,000, but the shipper actually paid $2,500. You just lost $500 in a single trip

• The Tegy Model: You pay $49.99 for the month. You book that same $2,500 load. You keep all $2,500.

By booking just one load through Tegy, your subscription has already paid for itself ten times over. If you run four loads a week, you are potentially saving thousands of dollars every single month. This isn’t just a new tool; it’s a massive raise for every driver on the road.

The Tegy Rule: Total Portability

We know you’re busy and you use multiple boards to keep your trucks moving. That’s why we created the Tegy Rule. If you are a Tegy member, you get the full shipper rate on ANY Tegy load: period. Whether you find the load directly on our private load board or you spot a Tegy load cross-posted on a different public board, your membership guarantees you the 100% rate. Just show us you’re a member, and the full contract price is yours. We are committed to transparency across the entire ecosystem.

A Word From Our CEO, Elijah Idris

“Look, I’ve seen how this industry treats carriers, and it’s been broken for a long time,” says Elijah Idris, CEO of Tegy Inc. “We didn’t start Tegy to be just another broker. We started it to be the platform that actually respects the driver’s bottom line. The ‘Netflix of Freight’ isn’t just a catchy slogan: it’s a commitment to a flat, fair price that lets truckers keep the money they earn. No more guessing what the broker’s cut is. No more leaving money on the table. Just $49.99 and total transparency. It’s that simple.”

Trust and Transparency at the Core

We understand that trust is the most valuable commodity in logistics. That’s why Tegy Inc. operates with full visibility. We aren’t a fly-by-night operation; we are a fully compliant, high-tech brokerage headquartered in San Francisco.

• Licensed & Bonded: USDOT: 4452741 | MC# 1754922

• Technology First: Our platform uses high-end AI to match the right loads to the right equipment, reducing deadhead miles and maximizing your efficiency

.• Direct Connections: We facilitate a direct line of confidence between shippers and carriers. When everyone knows the numbers, everyone wins.

What’s Next: Exclusive Roadside Assistance (Coming Soon!)

We aren’t stopping at load matching. Our goal is to be the ultimate partner for the American trucker. We are excited to tease an upcoming feature that will add even more value to your $49.99 membership.

We are partnering with a major industry player very soon to roll out exclusive roadside assistance services on a tiered plan. From tire blowouts to engine trouble, Tegy members will have access to discounted, high-priority support to keep their wheels turning. Lock in your Tegy membership today so you are at the front of the line when these new benefits launch.

Why Wait to Start Earning What You Deserve?

Every day you wait is another day a traditional broker is taking a cut of your hard-earned money. The industry is changing, and you can either be a part of the revolution or continue paying the “broker tax.”

Tegy Inc. is more than just a load board: it’s a movement toward a fairer, more transparent future for transportation. Your success starts here. We’ve built the platform, we’ve secured the loads, and we’ve capped the cost. All that’s missing is you.

Support and Availability

Our team is dedicated to your success. If you have questions about our subscription model, our technology, or how to get started, our support team is available to assist you.

From Expert Talks to Furniture Fashion Show – Stellar Redefined Furniture Exhibition at CIFF 2026

Published

on

Stellar Furniture created an immersive booth experience at CIFF 2026, combining themed spaces, live interactions, and product showcases. From a unique in-booth presentation to insightful design discussions, the brand focused on engaging visitors beyond traditional displays.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 15th Apr 2026 – At the 57th edition of CIFF 2026 in Guangzhou, Stellar Furniture stood out not just for the scale of its presence, but for the way it approached engagement. Rather than following a traditional exhibition format, the brand created a booth experience that felt more like a curated design journey, one that combined product display, live interaction, and thoughtful conversations.

The booth itself was divided into three clearly defined zones Biophilic, Scandinavian, and Industrial, each designed to reflect a distinct workplace aesthetic. Visitors could walk through these spaces and experience how different furniture collections aligned with varying design philosophies. The Biophilic zone incorporated natural textures and softer tones, while the Scandinavian section leaned toward minimalism and functionality. In contrast, the Industrial zone showcased more structured forms and raw finishes. Together, the three themes gave a comprehensive view of how workplace environments are evolving globally.

A notable aspect of the setup was the first-floor amphitheater, which remained active throughout the exhibition. Instead of focusing purely on product pitches, this space encouraged conversations. Clients, partners, and visitors gathered here for informal discussions, short presentations, and networking sessions. The atmosphere was relaxed, often centered around coffee and open dialogue, which made interactions feel less transactional and more collaborative.

Footfall at the booth remained consistently high across all days of the event. Visitors spent more time than usual exploring the space, often moving between zones and returning for discussions. According to on-ground observations, many attendees showed particular interest in Stellar’s ergonomic chair range, testing products and engaging in detailed conversations about usability, customization, and large-scale deployment.

One of the most talked-about moments during the exhibition was the never-happened-before furniture fashion show. The show brought a different perspective to how office chairs are typically introduced. Professional fashion models, wearing attire made of Chair fabric, walked through the booth presenting key seating designs, allowing visitors to see movement, form, and functionality in action. The format was simple but effective, it helped break the monotony of static displays and drew attention from across the exhibition hall.

Alongside this, the “Design Dialogue” session led by Spanish designer Enrique Martí added an intellectual layer to the overall experience. The session focused on how design thinking can influence business growth in the furniture industry. Rather than being overly technical, the discussion remained accessible and practical. Attendees actively participated, asking questions and sharing their own challenges, which made the session feel more like a conversation than a lecture.

Stellar’s dual-booth strategy also contributed to its strong presence at CIFF. While the main booth focused on immersive design themes and engagement, the second booth was dedicated entirely to seating solutions. This allowed visitors with specific product interests to explore options in greater depth without distraction.

Beyond structured sessions and presentations, a significant part of Stellar’s presence was built on one-on-one meetings. The team engaged continuously with distributors, architects, and business partners from different regions. These conversations ranged from product discussions to long-term collaboration opportunities, reflecting a clear shift toward solution-based engagement rather than just showcasing catalogs.

Overall, Stellar Furniture’s participation at CIFF 2026 reflected a more evolved approach to exhibitions. Instead of treating the event as a display platform, the brand used it as an opportunity to create experiences, exchange ideas, and build meaningful connections. The combination of design, interaction, and thoughtful programming ensured that visitors didn’t just see the products, they experienced how those products fit into a larger workplace narrative.

London’s International Psychology Clinic Rebrands as Mind a Porter

Published

UK-based mental health and psychological wellbeing service now offers new types of therapy and psychological support tailored to individuals seeking a more discreet, personalised, and elevated standard of care

United Kingdom, 15th Apr 2026 —The International Psychology Clinic, the UK-based mental health and psychological wellbeing service founded by Dr Martina Paglia, today announced that it has rebranded and launched as Mind a Porter. The move reflects a strategic shift toward a more refined, modern identity. It also supports an update to the practice’s offerings. Mind a Porter now offers high-quality, expert-led therapy and psychological support that is tailored to individuals seeking a more discreet, personalised, and elevated standard of care.

According to Dr Martina Paglia, a Clinical Psychologist, “Mind a Porter was born from a simple but important realisation: people don’t just want therapy when something is wrong. Rather, they want support in navigating life, growth, and change in a more continuous and empowering way.”

Indeed, as she added, “The word ‘clinic’ can sometimes feel distant or intimidating. With Mind a Porter, we wanted to create something that feels more human, approachable, and aligned with how people actually experience mental health today.”

The rebrand reflects a growing demand in the UK for mental health services that are not only clinically rigorous but also thoughtfully designed, accessible, and aligned with modern lifestyles. Mind a Porter positions itself at the intersection of psychology, wellbeing, and personal development.

“This rebrand reflects the evolution of our work,” explained Dr Paglia. “We are still grounded in clinical excellence, but we are also embracing a more modern, global, and lifestyle-oriented perspective on psychological wellbeing. Ultimately, this is about changing the relationship people have with mental health. It’s not something to fear or avoid, but something to engage with openly as part of a well-lived life.”
