You may have heard the term EGOT before and weren’t sure what it meant. It’s actually a pretty big deal in the entertainment industry. To get EGOT status, an actor must have earned an Emmy for a tv or movie performance, a Grammy for a music or audio performance, an Oscar for acting, and a Tony for a Broadway performance. We told you it was a tall order! Only a few people have attained EGOT status. Recently actress Viola Davis won at the 2023 Grammy Awards and is now an official EGOT. Other impressive EGOT members include Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, John Legend, and Whoopi Goldberg. At NoHo Senior Arts Colony, we are so inspired by their versatility, determination, and longevity in the entertainment industry. They show us that we can all have and nurture many talents and pursue areas out of our comfort zones to discover even more creativity with us. Congrats Viola! We love your work.

Many of the things we eat every day affect our overall health. Gluten, for example, is one of those things. Many people have a gluten intolerance or allergy. We were brought up thinking it was a vital part of the “food pyramid.” Now, we’ve learned that is can affect our bodies adversely. Gluten allergy and intolerance symptoms include hives, stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, headaches, and more. Check with your doctor if you think you need to be tested for gluten or other food-related allergies. At NoHo Senior Arts Colony, we want you to be happy and healthier. Even if you aren’t allergic to gluten, a gluten-free lifestyle has definite perks which include less bloating, more energy (more pep in your step), less joint pain, better weight, and the list goes on and on. The good news is that there are many delicious gluten substitutes and gluten-free recipes to augment your food choices and satisfy your belly. And more and more restaurants are offering gluten-free cuisine, and pretty much all grocery stores have gluten-free items. Find out online from John Hopkins Medicine if a gluten-free life is right for you.

There are so many holidays to celebrate this time of year. Kwanzaa is definitely a popular one celebrated all over the world. It began in the 1960s and is modeled after African harvest festivals. It takes place between December 26 – January 1. During this week, African American culture, community, connection, and harvest are celebrated in lots of festive and meaningful ways. A candle is lit for each day of Kwanzaa. This holiday celebrates 7 concepts: unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith. Kwanzaa is also celebrated alongside Christmas and Hanukkah. Like every other holiday, great food is also at the top of the list. Kwanzaa-inspired recipes from Delish and the Food Network sound pretty yummy! On behalf of everyone at NoHo Senior Arts Colony, have a happy and safe Kwanzaa!
