Avery Sunshine headlines new creative celebrating HBCU legacy, luxury innovation, and the power of meaningful relationships

ATLANTA, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Rolling Out, the premier African American-owned multimedia and culture platform, has once again partnered with Genesis Motor America, the globally recognized luxury automotive brand, to debut Driving Imagination Forward —the 2025 evolution of their acclaimed Because We Met campaign. This year’s integrated program continues to honor the life-shaping power of HBCU experiences, spotlighting how culture, connection, and community shape both personal success and collective progress.

Marking the third installment of the Because We Met series, the 2025 campaign spotlights the powerhouse musical duo Avery*Sunshine and Dana Johnson, who also happen to be husband and wife. Together, they reflect on how their HBCU: Spelman and Morehouse College experiences shaped their paths, ignited their passions, and ultimately led them to one another. Their soulful artistry and compelling narrative are perfectly complemented by the sleek and bold aesthetics of the 2025 Genesis GV80 Coupe—a refined union of style, performance, and purpose.

Says Avery*Sunshine: “Participating in the Because We Met program represents a full-circle moment for me. As a proud Spelman alumna, I understand the profound impact of the HBCU experience and the enduring bonds it fosters. This partnership with Rolling Out and Genesis transcends mere collaboration; it is a celebration of our legacy, conveyed with elegance, purpose, and authenticity. I am truly honored to contribute to a narrative that is grounded in love, excellence, and unapologetic Black luxury.”

At the forefront of this campaign, the Genesis GV80 Coupe emerges as a visual and symbolic centerpiece. With its athletic fastback profile, aggressive front grille, and aerodynamic silhouette, the GV80 Coupe redefines luxury utility. Inside, its diamond-stitched Nappa leather seats, expansive 27-inch panoramic OLED display, and customizable ambient lighting create an elevated cabin experience designed for leaders and visionaries. It’s more than transportation—it’s an invitation to stand out, move boldly, and own the journey. “Genesis celebrates the power of new beginnings through culture, connection, and community,” said Amy Marentic, chief marketing officer of Genesis Motor America. “The artistry showcased in our collaboration with Rolling Out honors the legacy of HBCUs and their profound and lasting impact on their students and alumni.“

Rolling Out and Genesis continue their shared mission to elevate narratives rooted in culture, excellence, and innovation—while honoring the institutions that continue to shape future leaders.

The first national tennis-coaching platform to serve both parents and professionals—offering tailored resources, certification and the industry’s most comprehensive support services

ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The United States Tennis Association (USTA) today officially launched USTA Coaching, Inc., a new entity established to elevate and support the coaching community nationwide. USTA Coaching offers a comprehensive, inclusive and scalable solution to support every type of coach, from parents looking to introduce tennis to their children to full-time professionals. This first-of-its-kind national platform is designed to transform the tennis coaching experience through a modern holistic approach–offering certification, flexible training through a robust online learning hub, community-building opportunities and a wide range of exclusive benefits that support coaches at every level.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/usta-coaching/9349451-en-united-states-tennis-association-launches-usta-coaching

“USTA Coaching is based on a simple truth: Better coaches create better play experiences, and better play experiences grow the game,” said Craig Morris, chief executive officer of USTA Coaching. “We saw a need to unify the coaching experience, from tennis-seeking parents to full-time pros, and built a platform that makes coaching more accessible, more rewarding and more impactful. It’s also about developing the next generation of coaches and ensuring that players see themselves reflected in the sport. This is about creating better experiences for coaches so they can create better experiences for players.”

USTA Coaching education is rooted in a coach- and athlete-centered approach shaped by the USTA American Development Model (ADM), a framework built on the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee’s (USOPC) ADM principles and grounded in the latest sport science and athlete development research. This connection to the USOPC underscores USTA Coaching’s commitment to quality, inclusivity, and long-term player growth. Participants gain access to resources, services and benefits such as liability insurance, telehealth, equipment discounts, coaching tools and a dynamic peer community. With support for every stage and skill level, USTA Coaching delivers the structure, confidence and connection today’s coaches need to lead both on and off the court.

“The USTA is a strong National Governing Body, a great partner to the USOPC and an important part of Team USA,” said USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland. “It’s no surprise that they are leading in coaching innovation, building on a history of success and giving the current and future generations new opportunities to learn and achieve with the launch of USTA Coaching.”

The launch of USTA Coaching marks a strategic investment in the future of tennis and serves as a cornerstone of the USTA’s growth strategy to reach 35×35 (35 million players by 2035), making the U.S. a leading tennis-playing nation (by population) in the world–increasing the number of Americans playing the world’s healthiest sport to 10 percent of the population, while deepening positive impact in communities nationwide. As participation surges nationwide, the sport faces a growing need for coaches, and USTA Coaching aims to fill that need with a scalable national solution. Currently, only 2 in 10 players receive formal coaching, a gap that USTA Coaching intends to close.

More than just a platform, USTA Coaching is a workforce development initiative designed to modernize the coaching ecosystem, streamline access to training, and expand the reach of who can provide quality coaching. Recognizing that growth depends on more than certified professionals, USTA Coaching empowers parents, teachers, volunteers and community leaders, those most often introducing newcomers to the game, with the tools and support they need to succeed. By creating an inclusive coaching pathway and unifying resources under one platform, USTA Coaching is positioned to accelerate participation, strengthen local tennis communities and ensure that growth is backed by a diverse, well-equipped coaching network.

The USTA is also equipping coaches with the tools to recognize and prevent misconduct in the sport. Regardless of whether a coach chooses the Rally, Pro or Pro Plus tier of benefits, they will complete the Safe Play program—making a vital commitment to creating a secure and respectful environment for every athlete. By completing the required SafeSport Training along with a criminal background screen, the USTA covering the cost of both, coaches reinforce their professional integrity to their tennis community.

“As someone who’s been both a competitive player and a coach at the highest levels, I’ve seen firsthand the impact a great coach can have, not just on a player’s skills, but on their long-term love for the sport,” said Megan Rose, managing director, head of business development and operations for USTA Coaching. “Coaches are often the first point of access to tennis, especially for kids and new players. With USTA Coaching, our goal is to lower the barrier to entry and make it easy for anyone to step into a coaching role with confidence. By providing accessible tools, flexible learning and real-time support, we’re empowering more people to lead and helping grow the game in every community.”

Coaches at Every Level. Support at Every Stage.
At every level of the game, coaches make the difference. USTA Coaching is designed to meet them wherever they are, whether they’re picking up a racquet for the first time or leading athletes at the highest levels. With hands-on learning, professional-grade tools and access to a range of tiered benefit packages, USTA Coaching helps every coach grow their skills, deepen their impact and stay inspired. While a short online quiz can help coaches find the package that best fits their needs, all packages are optional and flexible, so coaches can choose the level of support that is right for them, no matter their role or experience.

Baseline Package:
Many people become coaches not by planning to, but by stepping up, whether it is helping at practice, leading a gym class, or supporting their child’s first time on court. USTA Coaching makes that first step easier with free access to the Baseline package, which includes local event access and beginner-friendly drills and plans delivered to their inbox. For tennis parents, saying “yes” is about more than showing up, it is about passing down values, sharing milestones and building a lifelong bond through the game.

Rally Package:
USTA Coaching’s Rally package supports high school coaches and community instructors who juggle teaching with premium educational content, peer mentorship, Coach Developer office hours, Safe Play training, and tools like TennisDrills.TV. From leading pre-season tryouts to managing post-match pep talks, Rally offers the structure and support they need to lead with confidence.

Pro and Pro Plus Packages:
For those part-time and full-time professionals building reputations in clubs, academies, parks and recreation programs and public facilities, the Pro and Pro Plus packages offer advanced support. That includes national certifications, continuing education, discounts on tech and gear, and insurance coverage built for coaches who lead every day. Pro Plus adds unlimited additionally insured facilities, accident insurance and telehealth, because when coaching is your livelihood, peace of mind matters.

“As a former Grand Slam champion and coach, I’ve seen how the right guidance changes everything,” said Lindsey Davenport, Olympic gold medalist and USTA Coaching ambassador. “USTA Coaching is here to champion every coach, whether you’re leading a lesson or cheering from the sidelines. This platform is going to change how coaches connect with players and how players connect with the game.”

A short quiz will help determine your starting point, and participants can begin accessing their Rally, Pro or Pro Plus benefits immediately after completion of their Safe Play training. Additional features, including the online learning hub and certification equivalency program, will launch in Q4 2025.

BISMARCK, N.D., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Indigenized Energy, a Native-led nonprofit dedicated to advancing tribal energy sovereignty, is proud to announce the completion of its third collaborative solar project with national solar provider Freedom Forever. This deepening partnership marks a significant milestone in the organizations’ shared mission to bring clean energy to Native communities.

The latest installation, a fully off-grid solar and battery system, now powers a remote buffalo caretaker site on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana—providing reliable, emissions-free electricity to a culturally significant location with no access to the power grid.

This marks the third successful deployment of solar infrastructure by Indigenized Energy and Freedom Forever, following earlier installations in the Northern Cheyenne Community and the Oglala Sioux and Chippewa Cree Reservations. Each project reflects a shared commitment to long-term community benefit, Indigenous self-determination, and environmental stewardship.

“Our goal has always been to empower our communities with tools that help them thrive,” said Cody Two Bears, Founder and CEO of Indigenized Energy. “Solar is more than just energy—it’s sovereignty, it’s sustainability, and it’s hope. These projects are helping us restore Indigenous self-determination, one system at a time.”

What sets this partnership apart is Freedom Forever’s thoughtful approach to working in Indian Country. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution, the company has taken the time to understand the unique needs of tribal communities and adapt its approach accordingly.

“We’re proud to stand alongside Indigenized Energy and support their mission to build energy sovereignty through real, on-the-ground action,” said Brian Eglsaer, Chief Operations Officer at Freedom Forever. “These projects aren’t just solar installations—they’re powerful steps toward long-term change for Tribal communities.”

Cody Two Bears added: “Many of the communities where we work don’t have a local solar workforce or contractors. They’re rural, remote, and complex environments. Freedom Forever brings the horsepower to make these projects happen in places where the market alone wouldn’t go. That’s what makes this partnership so important.”

The partnership continues to evolve. In addition to new projects underway, the two organizations recently co-produced a short documentary, “Good Energy,” which tells the story of Tribal solar trainees, elders, and communities coming together to reclaim energy sovereignty and resilience. The film celebrates clean energy not just as infrastructure—but as healing.

With more installations in the pipeline and an eye toward supporting the national Solar for All program, Indigenized Energy and Freedom Forever are building more than just solar systems. They are building trust, opportunity, and a Native-led clean energy future.

Indigenized Energy is a Native-led capacity-building organization that works directly with tribes to pursue energy transformation with a focus on economic development. Indigenized Energy is a fiscally sponsored project of Mission Edge San Diego, a 501(c)3 charitable organization and a well-established and trusted partner for impactful nonprofits. Federal Tax ID # 27-2938491. www.4indigenized.energy

Freedom Forever is a leading solar energy provider committed to delivering affordable and reliable solar solutions to homeowners across the United States. With a focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction, Freedom Forever is dedicated to making solar accessible to all. https://freedomforever.com/

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The electric light commercial vehicle market is projected to reach USD 116.60 billion by 2032 from USD 24.49 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 25.0% during 2025–2032, according to a new report by MarketsandMarkets. The growth in the electric light commercial vehicle (eLCV) market can be attributed to the rising demand for efficient urban delivery and service vehicles, driven by e-commerce expansion and small business needs. Leading OEMs such as Ford (E-Transit), Stellantis (Citroën ë-Jumpy, Opel Vivaro-e), Rivian (EDV 700), and Mercedes-Benz (eSprinter) are taking strategic positions in this segment by offering purpose-built electric vans tailored for fleet operations. The integration of telematics, predictive maintenance, and route optimization technologies is contributing to a reduction in fleet operating costs by up to 20%, while also enhancing vehicle uptime. Strategic collaborations between OEMs and energy providers, including Stellantis with LG Energy Solution, Ford with SK On, and GM’s BrightDrop initiative, are improving access to depot-based high-capacity charging infrastructure to support demanding commercial duty cycles. Concurrently, advancements in battery technologies, particularly modular battery packs and battery swapping systems developed by firms such as NIO and Ample, are minimizing vehicle downtime and improving operational flexibility. Emerging markets across Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, and select countries in North America offer substantial untapped potential, supported by increasing urbanization and electric vehicle penetration levels still below 10% in many countries.

By vehicle type, vans are expected to hold a prominent market share during the forecast period.

Electric vans are a driving force in the electric light commercial vehicle market due to their suitability for urban logistics, regulatory compliance, and long-term cost efficiency. The significantly lower total cost of ownership, stemming from reduced maintenance, cheaper energy costs, and government incentives, makes electric vans especially attractive to fleet operators. Additionally, major logistics and delivery firms such as Amazon, DHL, and UPS are accelerating adoption to meet sustainability goals and benefit from operational savings. Electric vans are expected to witness an increasing demand due to lower operating costs, negligible harmful emissions, and government support. With the growing demand for electrification of mass transit and developments in battery technologies, pure electric vans were introduced to the market. OEMs are increasingly focusing on launching electric vans. For instance, in June 2025, Tata Motors launched the all-new Tata Ace Pro, heralding a transformative era in small cargo mobility. The Tata Ace Pro is India’s most affordable four-wheel mini truck, delivering exceptional efficiency, unmatched versatility, and superior value. E-Transit Courier is a compact van that offers up to 300 km of range, up to 700 kg payload, and 25% more load space than the previous generation Transit Courier, enabling it to carry two Euro pallets.

By GVWR, the 6,001-10,000 lbs segment is expected to hold the dominant market share during the forecast period.

The 6,001–10,000 lbs GVWR holds the dominant share of the electric light commercial vehicle market and has witnessed steady adoption growth over the past four to five years, driven by early pilot deployments, maturing EV supply chains, and falling battery costs that have enhanced vehicle affordability and operational viability for fleets. The market is driven by the rising demand for electric light commercial vehicles that offer a balance between payload capacity and operational efficiency. This category includes popular models such as the Ford E-Transit, Rivian EDV 700, Bollinger B2 Chassis Cab, BrightDrop Zevo 600, and Mercedes-Benz eSprinter (long wheelbase variants), which are widely used by logistics companies, utility service providers, and urban freight operators. The 6,001–10,000 lbs segment of the electric light commercial vehicle market is primarily driven by the increasing fleet electrification efforts of last-mile logistics companies seeking to comply with stricter emission regulations and reduce operating costs. For example, Ryder System’s June 2024 order of 200 BrightDrop Zevo 600 electric vans for its North American fleet, citing strong demand from e-commerce and retail clients for sustainable deliveries. The payload capacity and driving range offered by vehicles in this segment make them ideal for urban and regional logistics, especially where city access regulations favor zero-emission commercial vehicles.

Europe is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period.

In Europe, strategic partnerships between OEMs and energy companies are driving the rollout of charging infrastructure tailored for commercial fleets, including depot-based and fast-charging hubs across key logistics corridors. Further, the growth of e-commerce is also pushing demand for eLCVs in parcel delivery and urban logistics. The market is gradually shifting toward mid-sized and large electric vans capable of 100–200 miles of range and over 1,000 kg payload, which aligns with the operational needs of fleet managers. Furthermore, leasing and battery-as-a-service models are gaining traction, helping to reduce the upfront cost burden for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The UK is the leading country with the largest market share in the region. Electric vans dominate the UK electric light commercial vehicle market. For instance, British Gas placed one of the UK’s largest commercial EV orders, deploying around 1,000 Vauxhall Vivaro-e vans. As of May 2025, Royal Mail operates the UK’s largest electric delivery fleet with approximately 7,000 electric vans, including a recent order of 2,100 Stellantis EVs (1,100 Peugeot E-Partner and 1,000 E-Expert vans), in addition to nearly 8,000 Ford E-Transit vans to accelerate its decarbonization strategy.  These vehicles are favored for their compatibility with urban low-emission zones and expanding last-mile delivery needs. The E-Transit, in particular, has gained traction due to Ford’s established dealer network and service support, while the Vivaro-e benefits from Stellantis’ competitive fleet pricing and government-backed grants. Further, Kia is steadily entering the UK electric light commercial vehicle market, with its first dedicated electric van, the Kia PV5, expected to debut in 2025 as part of its Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) lineup. The uptake is especially visible in London, where congestion charges and ULEZ regulations have accelerated fleet electrification.

Upcoming Public Television Segment Reveals the High-Tech, Eco-Conscious Reality Behind Modern Automotive Recycling.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Viewers can prepare to reconsider everything they thought they knew about automotive recycling – an industry often misunderstood yet pivotal to our economy and environment. United Recyclers Group (URG), the largest membership organization for automotive recyclers in the United States, will be featured in an upcoming segment on the nationally distributed Public Television program, All Access with Andy Garcia. The segment, set to film later this year, will offer viewers an enlightening look into an industry critical to environmental sustainability and consumer savings, moving far beyond outdated perceptions and transforming sites once perceived as ‘junkyards’ into models of efficiency and environmental stewardship.

This feature explores how URG members use advanced inventory systems and rigorous quality control to operate sophisticated, technology-driven facilities. These facilities efficiently reclaim and reuse Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts from end-of-life vehicles that have been expertly dismantled, tested, and certified. Viewers will gain insight into the meticulous processes ensuring these high-quality, reliable components—ranging from engines and transmissions to body panels and electronic modules—are made available as cost-effective alternatives to new parts. The segment will illuminate the significant environmental impact of this industry, which collectively keeps millions of tons of material out of landfills annually and helps conserve vital resources, contributing significantly to the estimated 85 million barrels of oil saved each year by avoiding new part manufacturing. URG members alone process over 43 million parts annually, playing a substantial role in this nationwide effort. This process drastically reduces the energy and resources needed compared to producing new components, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint for vehicle ownership and repair.

“Most people still picture a ‘junkyard’ when they think of automotive recycling, but that couldn’t be further from the truth”, stated Kristi Werner, CEO of United Recyclers Group. “This upcoming documentary will change that image and educate consumers that they have choices when it comes to the repair process, saving them hard earned money.  At present, only 7% of used parts are incorporated into the collision repair process. Doubling that figure would represent a significant opportunity, delivering substantial cost savings to consumers while markedly reducing carbon emissions.”

“But this isn’t just about parts – it’s about people.  Automotive recycling supports a more sustainable future for everyone, and URG is proud to foster a close-knit, collaborative community where recyclers share knowledge, support each other, and push the industry forward.”

The program will delve into the critical difference between genuine recycled OEM parts – (used) components made by the original vehicle manufacturer offering guaranteed fit and function – compared to potentially variable aftermarket alternatives, clarifying the benefits for vehicle performance, safety, and longevity. It will also touch upon the surprising collaborative and supportive, almost family-like, culture within this field, fostered by URG through extensive training, peer-to-peer knowledge sharing, networking opportunities, and access to shared technological resources. Viewers will discover how these dedicated professionals, including prominent female leaders in a traditionally male space, are not just recycling cars, but actively contributing to a robust circular economy. They provide valuable resources for consumers and repair facilities alike, ensuring the affordability of vehicle maintenance through responsible practices and making informed, sustainable choices readily accessible. Learn why choosing recycled parts is a smart decision for your car, your budget, and the planet.

BEIJING, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As international sustainability disclosure standards accelerate their global rollout, photovoltaic (PV) companies tend to face challenges such as mismatched metrics and fragmented internal governance when aligning with these frameworks. In response, JA Solar is deepening collaboration with the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). The aim is to develop JA Solar’s own industry-specific implementation based on the ISSB standards, providing an exemplary model for the PV industry to integrate international frameworks.

This commitment manifests through proactive governance reforms and international advocacy. In May, ISSB Vice-Chair Jingdong Hua and Special Advisor to ISSB Chair & Director of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation Beijing office Zhengwei Zhang visited JA Solar. The company’s board members and senior executives participated in intensive workshops, focusing on critical topics such as addressing global regulatory demands and quantifying climate-related financial impacts. This drives the deep integration of international standards into JA Solar’s corporate governance. In June, JA Solar, as the sole private enterprise representative to share its methodology for sustainability disclosures, joined global experts at the Beijing International Sustainability Conference, with over 13 million online views.

As early adopters of the standards, JA Solar deepens climate analysis based on the recommendations of the TaskForce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) frameworks and the IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures issued by the ISSB. The company also integrated its supply chain into decarbonization initiatives, empowering upstream suppliers, and released the industry’s first report of Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), pioneering biodiversity transparency. Through this “standards framework + industry characteristics” approach, JA Solar has demonstrated the feasibility of full ISSB compliance for PV enterprises. Looking ahead, JA Solar will further collaborate with ISSB to refine disclosure methodologies, helping more PV companies integrate deeply with global frameworks.

Established by IFRS Foundation during COP26 in 2021, ISSB aims to create a high-quality, comprehensive global baseline of sustainability disclosures to enhance ESG transparency. Its IFRS S1 (General Requirements) and IFRS S2 (Climate-related Disclosures) have been adopted by over 120 countries, serving as the “global language” for corporate sustainability reporting.
