Hassan Diarra, Solomon “Solo” Ball, Jayden Ross and Jaylin Stewart will appear at the East Hartford Dunkin’ Donuts at 364 Silver Lane, East Hartford, at 7:30 a.m.

There, they will be meeting and greeting fans and serving iced coffee on National Iced Coffee Day.

The Husky quartet, all members of the 2024 national championship team (with Diarra also on the 2023 title squad) will be joined by a CCMC patient ambassador.

All four of the players are expected to play huge roles in UConn’s quest to win a third title in a row, a quest that received a major boost when beloved head coach Dan Hurley spurned a job offer to coach the Los Angeles Lakers last week to stay at UConn.

According to Dunkin’, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation’s mission is to provide the
“simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or illness” and has granted more than $50 million since its inception in 2006.

“Thanks to support from guests nationwide, Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Day collectively raised $3.5 million to support kids in children’s hospitals throughout the country,” wrote Dunkin’ in a statement.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — A law signed Monday hopes to make the beauty world more inclusive for people of color.

“I mean, the curly, coily hair are also movers and shakers, and they got places to go and people to see, and they want to feel welcome and feel as though there’s a stylist in your salon that is knowledgeable and skilled in their hair texture,” said Shaqueen Valentine, the co-owner of Vanity Studio.

The new law requires hairdressers and barbers to learn how to work with textured hair as part of their training. Wavy, curly and coiled hair falls underneath the definition.
