Long Beach’s 11th annual Walls and Art Renzei festival just ended with a bold twist—this year’s “Art Beyond Walls” theme sent murals soaring into iconic landmarks like the Queen Mary’s Stern Entrance Tower, turning city icons into living galleries. From June 8th to 13th, artists including Ms. Yellow, Huntz Liu, Bamboo Yang, and Bublegum transformed spaces from Cesar Chavez Elementary to the Hyatt Regency, adding vibrant, permanent art to over 150 locations across the city. Since its debut, the festival has become a cultural cornerstone, showcasing global talent and beautifying neighborhoods—proving art isn’t just on walls, it’s in the heart of Long Beach.

A mother’s horrific confession: Jasmine Raquel Hickman, 35, admitted to suffocating her newborn and 7-year-old daughter in October 2017. Found guilty but ruled legally insane at the time, she wept in court, begging for forgiveness and saying she’d never have done it if sane. Her mother offered love and hope for healing. Doctors confirmed her mental illness was real, and she’ll likely spend her life in a psychiatric facility — while her family grieves and prays for her recovery.
