Pro Bono Institute Recognizes Marcus Brown With 2025 Laurie D. Zelon Pro Bono Award
The Pro Bono Institute has awarded Entergy's Executive Vice President and General Counsel Marcus Brown with the prestigious 2025 Laurie D. Zelon Pro Bono Award. This annual accolade honors individuals and organizations that exemplify outstanding dedication to pro bono legal services, and Brown's leadership has been instrumental in fostering a culture of community service within Entergy's legal department. Over the past decade, Entergy's dedicated legal team has contributed more than 22,000 hours of pro bono work, resulting in a $6.1 million in-kind donation to the communities we serve. 'Receiving the Laurie D. Zelon Pro Bono Award is an honor for the entire Entergy legal team, whose collective efforts have made a meaningful difference in the lives of so many people across the communities we serve. We believe that access to justice is a fundamental right and our commitment to pro bono work reflects that belief,' said Brown. Under Brown's guidance, Entergy has established strong partnerships with several nonprofit organizations, providing valuable legal support to those who might otherwise face barriers in accessing necessary services. Our pro bono initiatives focus on a variety of issues, including support for low-income families, nonprofits and small businesses, and veterans where legal assistance can significantly enhance the quality of life. In addition to helping create a program that dramatically increased the pro bono commitment of the company's attorneys and legal staff, Brown also established a full-time, in-house counsel role at Entergy dedicated to pro bono legal assistance – a unique position amongst Fortune 500 companies. In this role, Christy Kane, Entergy's senior pro bono counsel has been instrumental in expanding in-house pro bono at Entergy, including the launch of EmPOWERing Pro Bono Day with the Pro Bono Institute, and aligning pro bono efforts with Entergy's corporate social responsibility initiatives. The Pro Bono Institute's acknowledgment of our efforts underscores the vital role companies play in fostering legal access and community support. As businesses continue to recognize their responsibility to society, leaders like Brown serve as inspirations for professionals across industries. At Entergy, we remain committed to our pro bono mission, with plans to expand our initiatives and impact for the benefit of our customers and communities.

Nourished By Time Announces New Album The Passionate Ones
Nourished By Time Announces New Album The Passionate Ones On August 22nd 2025, Baltimore singer-songwriter and producer Nourished By Time will release his highly anticipated new album The Passionate Ones via XL Recordings. Crafted between Baltimore, London, and NYC, The Passionate Ones is a sermon, a twelve-track catharsis, howled from the underbelly of late-stage capitalism, a blueprint for building your own altar in the ruins of the American Dream. The project launches today with 'Max Potential,' a track revealing a soul unready for the weight of its own potential, accompanied by a music video—directed by and starring Nourished By Time's Marcus Brown—shot beneath David Hammons's Day's End sculpture in New York City. Initially created in Los Angeles' in late 2019, Nourished By Time emerged as Marcus Brown's escape from the monotony of his day jobs and a continuously crushed spirit by an increasingly corrupt world. Channeling his deeply personal and sharply observational visions into songwriting, Brown has created a singular sonic world shaped by his hometown of Baltimore's rich and eclectic musical heritage where jazz, punk, indie, hip hop, electronic and R&B collide in raw harmony. On The Passionate Ones, Brown tackles love, labor, existentialism, dreams, disillusionment, and hope through the lens of metamodernism, documenting an American story of an artist using their vices to keep them afloat while they follow their passions and dreams. The Passionate Ones arrives in the wake of a radiant ascent. With Erotic Probiotic 2 (Scenic Route), Nourished by Time cracked open 2023—earning Pitchfork's Best New Music and topping Gorilla vs Bear's year-end list, while drawing praise from The Guardian, The FADER, Paste, and more. 2024's Catching Chickens (XL) only deepened the allure: CRACK Magazine placed him on its cover, naming 'Hell of a Ride' the track of the year. The song echoed across NPR, Resident Advisor, CLASH, The FACE, Mixmag, UPROXX, and Spotify's Best Songs of 2024 lists, and he performed a magnetic live performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's #LateShowMeMusic live series. Along the way, Nourished By Time's voice threaded through collaborations with Yaeji, Kacy Hill, and evilgiane, a spectral remix of Dry Cleaning's 'Gary Ashby,' and tours with Metronomy, Panda Bear, and Toro y Moi, solidifying his position as one of contemporary music's most intriguing and vital new artists. The Passionate Ones is available pre-order now as a LP (black, crystal clear, and limited edition white-label), CD and to pre-save on all digital platforms. Out August 22, 2025 worldwide.
