New Orleans — Today, to coincide with “Family Day” at the 20th annual Essence Festival, ESSENCE and Too Small to Fail announced a new partnership to deliver information and mobilize ESSENCE’s audience to improve the lives of young African-American children, from birth to age five. For the first year of the campaign, ESSENCE and Too Small to Fail will focus on a serious challenge in early learning—specifically, narrowing the “word gap.” Through the campaign, the partners will encourage parents and caregivers to take simple actions during their children’s first five years of life — like talking, reading and singing — to foster language and early brain development.

KHARTOUM, May 15 (Reuters) – A Sudanese court has sentenced a 27-year-old woman to death for converting to Christianity, judicial sources said.
Mariam Yahya Ibrahim had been ordered to abandon her newly adopted Christian faith and return to Islam. She had also been charged with adultery for marrying a Christian man.
Judge Abbas al Khalifa asked Ibrahim whether she would return to Islam. After she said “I am a Christian,” the death sentence was handed down, the judicial sources said.
