Angelica sits down with Shaq to talk about what he loves most about being back in the Capital City.

“Well, for me it’s Home. I don’t know if you’ve watched. I think it was 'Superman' or 'Superman 2 '; he went to give up his powers. He went back to the place where he gained his powers, so that place for me is right in Broussard Hall in the roundabout; there’s a seat I used to sit in and dream about the stuff that’s happening now,” O’Neal said.

FROM BATON ROUGE TO THE WORLD: LOVE MY REALITY

From the Capital City to the runways of New York and Milan, one local fashion brand is making its mark well beyond Louisiana.

Angelica meets Crystal and Wayne Lewis, the husband-and-wife team behind Love My Reality. What started as a T-shirt business in 2012 has grown into a women's fashion brand known for bold prints, feminine details and styles that encourage women to embrace their individuality.

Both military veterans, Crystal and Wayne built the business together, opening a Baton Rouge boutique at Perkins Rowe before taking their designs to New York Fashion Week in 2023 and Milan Fashion Week in 2024; now they are only online. 

“We just wanted to create pieces for the busy woman. I created pieces for me. I don’t like to do a whole lot; I like to create statement pieces where you can just put the outfit on and it speaks for itself,” Crystal Lewis siad. “I like when you walk in the room and you’re wearing a showstopper. So that’s where the heart of the brand actually came from."

Today, they're continuing to grow the brand through pop-ups, trunk shows and exclusive collections, proving a dream that started right here in South Louisiana can reach an international audience.

BELLYFULL: POTTERY WITH A PURPOSE

Have you ever stopped to think about where that coffee mug you reach for every morning comes from? Was it made by hand, or mass-produced?

Angelica brings some of the Belly Fire team into the studio to talk all things art, pottery and a project that's putting local creativity toward a good cause.

Joining the conversation are Luke Giordano, Chasity Joseph and artist and event host Peyton North.

The team is organizing BellyFull, a charity auction featuring original artwork created by the Belly Fire team, along with gifts and experiences donated by local businesses.

And the best part? One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit the Baton Rouge and New Orleans food banks.

“Bellyfull is what we’re calling it. It’s our take on a charity auction supporting our local food banks. We’ve brought together some incredible local artists,” said Luke Giordano.

The online auction opens November 15 at noon and runs through November 22 at 7 p.m. Central. It's a chance to find something special for the holidays while giving back to families across Louisiana.

PET OF THE WEEK: MEET YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND

We're making room for a little more furry love on Positively BR!

Introducing Pet of the Week, a brand-new recurring segment in partnership with Companion Animal Alliance.

Every other week, we're welcoming a different adoptable animal into the studio. Sometimes it'll be a cat, sometimes a dog, but every pet will have a personality of its own.

From showing off tricks to playing around and stealing the spotlight, we'll get to know these furry friends and help them find their forever homes.

And with the holiday season approaching, there's an extra reason to consider adoption. Companion Animal Alliance is waiving all adoption fees on Black Friday.

We'll also share more about the organization's other Black Friday deals, so you can find out how to make a difference for a pet in need.

Because the best thing you could bring home this holiday season might just have four paws and a wagging tail.
