The Kahlo family home, a replica of the kitchen and recipes that the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and her family share with the world
WASHINGTON, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This June 2025, Jarritos, the beloved Mexican soft drink brand, proudly presents the third edition of Los Sabores de Mi México. After bringing a preview of the exhibition to Chicago this past May, the cultural experience returns once again, taking visitors on an artistic journey. This extraordinary event will take place at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington, D.C., from June 12 to June 21, 2025, open Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturdays from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
We combine the magic of Mexico's incredible flavors with recipes from the iconic artist Frida Kahlo (1907–1954), presenting a world where cuisine meets art. A replica of the façade of the Kahlo family home will offer all visitors an opportunity to learn more about the renowned Mexican artist and her family.
A major highlight of the event is the unveiling of an exclusive book that reveals treasured family recipes. This publication promises to be a culinary and cultural gem, delighting food lovers, Frida Kahlo fans, and admirers of Mexican flavors alike.
"This book connects us to the woman, to the family," said Chef Mónica Patiño. She adds, "To that everyday life—what was eaten in Frida's home, her handwritten recipes… Frida in Coyoacán was always deeply connected to traditional Mexican cooking, which is still alive today."
The exhibition will also feature never-before-seen photographs capturing the intimate essence of the Kahlo family. Immerse yourself in the personal and artistic world of this Mexican icon through these unique images.
"It is a great honor to share a part of our heritage, of our family's story, with the world," said Mara Romeo Kahlo, Frida Kahlo's great-niece. "We believe that the kitchen is the heart of a home, and we are bringing a gastronomic art book and period pieces to share Frida in a very simple, everyday, and fun way…"
Enhancing the experience further, we will showcase ten monumental "Fridas," each reimagined by talented contemporary Mexican artists. These stunning works of art pay homage to the enduring influence of Frida Kahlo in the art world, highlighting her legacy in bold and original ways.
The "Paint Your Frida" workshops will offer families and children the chance to express their creativity and inspiration by painting miniature replicas of the monumental sculptures on display—an engaging and artistic hands-on activity.
Los Sabores de Mi México not only celebrates the rich cultural and culinary heritage of Mexico, but also, in this edition, pays an unprecedented tribute to one of the country's most important artists and her legacy. The event seeks to preserve and honor Mexican heritage, culture, gastronomy, and the arts through events, exhibitions, product launches, and more.

Billionaire YouTuber MrBeast ‘borrowing' money from mom for his wedding

Even billionaires need handouts sometimes. MrBeast — who's worth an estimated $1 billion — claims he's cash-strapped and asked his mom for money to pay for his upcoming wedding to fellow content creator Thea Booysen. MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, addressed his finances on X in response to a post that described him as 'the only billionaire under 30 to have not inherited his wealth.' 9 MrBeast proposed to content creator Thea Booysen in December 2024. mrbeast/Instagram 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything (I think this year we'll spend around a quarter of a billion on content),' the Internet sensation, who boasts over 400 million subscribers, wrote on Sunday, June 1. 'Ironically i'm actually borrowing $ from my mom to pay for my upcoming wedding lol,' he continued in his candid X post, adding, 'But sure, on paper the businesses I own are worth a lot.' MrBeast has his hands in several projects, including the competition series 'Beast Games,' which gave its first season winner a whopping $10 million in prize money, and his Feastables chocolate brand. He recently attacked Trump's 'brutal' tariffs, informing his fans that it would be 'way cheaper' to produce his ethically sourced chocolate overseas. However, he's also been at the center of several lawsuits, including one that involves his snack brand. 9 The billionaire claims he's borrowing money from his mom to pay for the wedding. Honey 9 'I personally have very little money because I reinvest everything,' he admitted on X. MrBeast/X 9 MrBeast and Thea Booysen recently teased a possible island wedding. mrbeast/Instagram In May, the Mexican government sued the media house behind MrBeast's popular video titled, 'I Explored 2000 Year Old Ancient Temples,' in which he hawked his Feastables outside the Mayan pyramids, calling them a 'special Mayan desert' and 'the only Mayan-approved snack on the planet.' While the government admitted that MrBeast and the company were issued a permit to film at sites including the Mayan pyramid Chichén Itzá near Cancun, it claimed he was not given permission for commercial use. They claimed the YouTuber violated the terms of an archeological permit and profited from the 'heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.' 9 MrBeast was sued last month by the Mexican government. mrbeast/Instagram 9 He was accused of violating the terms of an archeological permit and profiting from the 'heritage that belongs to all Mexicans.' mrbeast/Instagram But he denied those allegations. 'This video … was meant to highlight these treasured Mayan sites in Mexico,' a spokesperson for MrBeast told The Post. 'No advertisement material was shot on any archaeological sites overseen by INAH (Mexican National Institute of Anthropology and History), so it is unfortunate that this has turned into a political issue.' MrBeast was also sued by five 'Beast Games' contestants in September 2024 for alleged 'chronic mistreatment,' sexual harassment and more. 9 He was also sued by a group of 'Beast Games' competitors in 2024. mrbeast/Instagram In response, a spokesperson for MrBeast's company exclusively told The Post, 'The MrBeast promotional video shoot, which included over 2000 participants, was unfortunately complicated by the CrowdStrike incident, extreme weather, and other unexpected logistical and communications issues, which we are currently reviewing, but we are grateful that virtually all of those invited to Toronto for our next production have enthusiastically accepted our invitation. 'We have communicated directly with 97% of the 2000 people who attended to ask for feedback, have launched a formal review of the process, and have taken steps to ensure that we learn from this experience and we are excited to welcome hundreds of men and women to the world's largest game show in history.' 9 MrBeast and his future bride met in her home country, South Africa, in 2022. Getty Images for Breakthrough Prize 9 The pair said their wedding will be 'more private,' with only friends and family. thea_booysen/Instagram The YouTuber and Booysen met in 2022 while he was visiting her home country, South Africa, and have been going strong ever since. The pair recently teased their upcoming wedding, revealing it won't be a show for the world to see. 'This will definitely be more family and friends — definitely more private,' MrBeast told People. 'I don't take much vacation because of how hard I work, so I definitely want to make sure that the wedding will be a time to celebrate with her and spend time with friends and family who we really enjoy being with. It will be the ultimate way to take some time away and enjoy things.' The future MrsBeast also shared that they're toying with the idea of exchanging vows on an island. 'We're thinking of doing it somewhere on an island where we're far away from just about everybody,' she said. 'We're not going to try and have a big, extravagant wedding. It's going to be nice, but it's certainly going to be intimate [with] close family and friends.'

Chambersburg Storyteller Stephen Holoviak Discusses New Book--Retribution--at Franklin County Visitors Bureau's June Lunch & Learn

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa., June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Franklin County Visitors Bureau is hosting a WhoDunit Lunch & Learn with local author and storyteller Stephen Holoviak on June 12, 11:30 AM to 1 PM, to celebrate the release of his newest book, Retribution. Set in Chambersburg, Retribution introduces readers to Chambersburg—familiar places like Henninger Field, Veroni Café, Old Franklin County Jail, Trinity Episcopal Church, and Jim's Farmers Market as it brings true-life Franklin County citizens into the story. Brooks Kincade steps from the three previous psychological sagas to discover a serial killer is taking lives in Chambersburg. Local places and local history are key in discovering the killer. Holoviak, a retired professor of management and leadership at Penn State Mont Alto and former dean of the John L. Grove College of Business at Shippensburg University, started penning whodunit fiction after writing hundreds of articles and books related to management, human resources, leadership, and business. On the surface, the fiction genre seems very different from years working in non-fiction. Holoviak will share his perspectives on research and development of plot, creation of characters, importance of setting, and the storytelling process. Plus, Holoviak will have copies of Retribution on hand for purchase and signing. The event is being held in the second floor Great Room of the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center. In keeping with the dining in Retribution, a Veroni Café lunch buffet, featuring foods of the Central and Southern portions of Mexico, is planned. Vegetarian options will be provided. Franklin County Visitors Bureau Lunch & Learns are free events, but registration is required. Reserve tickets here. The Franklin County Visitors Bureau invites all to explore history, arts and architecture, recreation, natural beauty, fresh foods, and the warm hospitality of communities like Chambersburg, Greencastle, Mercersburg, Shippensburg, and Waynesboro. Franklin County PA is located just north of the Mason Dixon Line and is an easy drive from Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. For more information, visit or contact the Franklin County Visitors Bureau at 866.646.8060.

TikToker Sana Yousuf shot dead, man arrested in case of 'repeated rejections'

TikToker Sana Yousuf shot dead, man arrested in case of 'repeated rejections' Show Caption Hide Caption TikTok influencer Valeria Marquez shot while livestreaming in Mexico A man fatally shot a 23-year-old Mexican TikTok influencer, Valeria Marquez, while she was livestreaming. A 17-year-old social media influencer was killed in Pakistan after she repeatedly rejected a man's advances, authorities said. Sana Yousuf, who had recently celebrated her birthday on May 29, was shot dead by an unidentified man around 5 p.m. on June 2 at her home in Islamabad in front of her mother and aunt, Islamabad Police said. A day after the incident sent shockwaves across the country, Islamabad Police arrested the main suspect, Umar Hayat, a 22-year-old man from Faisalabad, a city about 200 miles from the capital of Islamabad. Police said the suspect had only done his matriculation, equivalent to high school in the U.S., and belonged to a lower-middle-income family, with 'no source of income." Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, in a post on X, said the accused has confessed to the murder and that the weapon had been recovered. Sana Yousuf's murder a case of 'repeated rejections' Islamabad Inspector General (IG) Syed Ali Nasir Rizvi, in a press conference on May 3, said the incident was a case of 'repeated rejections." 'A monster, cold-blooded murderer is now in the law's grip,' IG Rizvi said during the press conference, noting the suspect had tried to contact Sana repeatedly and was being 'rejected by her again and again." The police chief said the culprit wanted to 'become friends' with the social media influencer and had made repeated attempts to make connections with her. He even reached her home on her birthday on May 29 and "tried to meet her for seven to eight hours but failed.' 'First, it was a cellular rejection. Now, it was a physical mode of rejection," Rizvi said. On the day of the murder, the suspect made a similar attempt for the same amount of time to meet Sana but was unsuccessful, according to Rizvi. After receiving multiple rejections and no response from Sana, the suspect then forcefully entered her home and shot her. Police said the suspect had planned the murder, and Samaa News reported he parked his motorcycle near Sana's house and fled the scene on it after committing the crime. CCTV footage shows what appears to be the suspect running away from the location on foot. According to a First Information Report lodged by the victim's mother, Farzana Yousuf, the suspect entered their home suddenly with a pistol around 5 p.m. on June 2 and fired point blank at Sana, local media outlet Dawn reported. Two bullets struck Sana in her chest, severely injuring her. While she was rushed to a hospital, she could not be revived and succumbed to her wounds. 'It was a blind murder' Rizvi termed the murder a 'very challenging case,' adding that multiple raids were conducted in a bid to nab the suspect, including three in Islamabad and eight others in other cities. 'It was a blind murder; there were no leads, and things were not clear," Rizvi said. "Attempts were made to give the incident another angle, even though the aim of taking the mobile was to wipe out the clues." Police claim the suspect had taken Sana's mobile phone with him to delete evidence. The phone and the murder weapon were recovered during the police's investigation. Rizvi said he appreciated members of the social, electronic and print media, highlighting 'many leads' came from journalists who 'offered their services in analyzing social media." Who is Sana Yousuf? How many followers did she have? Sana Yousuf was a medical student and popular TikTok creator from Chitral, in Pakistan's north, according to Dawn News. The teenager had a million followers on TikTok and more than 500,000 followers on Instagram, and she was well-known for her social media posts. A quick scroll through her social media accounts shows the young girl living life to the fullest and sharing beauty, fashion and food-related content. The last video on her account was posted hours before her murder, in which she was seen cutting a cake for her birthday. Saman Shafiq is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
