Since the debut of his album My Tribe, two-time GRAMMY® nominee and multi-award winner Blessing Offor has established himself as a true artist’s artist with a voice as bright and authentic as his personality. My Tribe debuted in early 2023, and quickly hit Top 20 on THREE Billboard charts. The album’s lead single, “Brighter Days” became a bastion of mainstream radio, hitting Top 25 on the mainstream AC radio charts with over 150 million views on TikTok and his duet, “The Goodness” with TobyMac became his first #1. Building on his success, Blessing has performed twice on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna, has appeared on Good Morning America, Kelly Clarkson and The Jennifer Hudson Show, and was named an Amazon Breakthrough Artist and Pandora Artist to Watch. Blessing spent most of 2024 on the road with Lauren Daigle as the support act for her Kaleidoscope Tour, and made his Stagecoach Festival debut in 2025.
New push to change US school hours gains momentum
According to the CDC, teens 13 - 17 should be clocking 8 to 10 hours of sleep every night. But more than 77% of high schoolers aren’t getting anywhere near that on school nights. Sleep experts are calling it a nationwide issue. There’s talk about pushing school start times back to let teens get the rest they need—and the benefits go way beyond fewer yawns during class. More sleep can mean fewer sick days, better grades, safer drivers, stronger athletes—even less dependency on substances just to stay focused. Still, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Later start times can be tough on parents' schedules, and there’s a time crunch on after-school activities. But the research is clear on the benefits for teens when they get more sleep.
