Today on with Tom Power:

  • Rebecca Black became infamous in 2011 for her song Friday. At 13 years old, she was being invited on talk shows, being parodied by comedians — and enduring severe bullying because of her first song. Now, she is back in the spotlight, and making music on her own terms. She joins Tom Power to talk about her debut album Let Her Burn.

  • When Hannah Alissa Richardson first saw the Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre in Toronto in 2012 as a young girl, she saw the future she wanted to be part of. Now, she's dancing in her inaugural season with the company, as their 65th anniversary tour kicks off in Toronto. Hannah shares what this moment means to her.
