North Carolina Music Office Launches Series

As 2025 begins, various sectors are embracing the New Year with optimism and initiatives. In North Carolina, the newly formed N.C. Music Office is launching 'Shaped by Sound,' a PBS series spotlighting the state's vibrant music scene, featuring diverse local artists. Writers on Medium are encouraged to plan effectively and remain positive to build a successful future, despite past setbacks like decreased earnings in December. This spirit of renewal is also reflected in cultural traditions, such as the sale of good luck charms at the Futenma Shrine in Okinawa, aiming to bring prosperity for the year ahead.
