🚨 JUST IN: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee will be starting the process of renaming Nashville Airport to DOLLY PARTON International Airport
A VERY well deserved tribute. This should be a unanimous vote with the airport authority.
140,000 people have already signed a petition to make it happen.
RIP to a humble, wonderful, trailblazing and inspiring American who lived her life with determination, love and without fear, we are all better for it - thank you for Dolly Parton Lord and for the blessing that she was

Totally agree.
Dolly Parton was a gift to the world and touched so many people of all walks of life.
Anyone who tries to politicize her and/or her accomplishments is a sad excuse for a human being.
What is wrong with people.
What an unforgettable week in the Dominican Republic. 🇩🇴💙
Through Goya Gives, we witnessed the incredible power of community, compassion, and connection.
Our #GoyaGives team spent quality time with the amazing children from Niños y Niñas de Cristo Foundation in La Romana, whose joy and resilience inspired us all.
One of the most meaningful moments was bringing together children from the Bronx through our partnership with Dr. Denise and Niños de la Caridad Foundation and connecting them with children in the Dominican Republic—proving that friendship, kindness, and hope know no borders.
With the help of our Goya team at our Dominican facility, we donated nutritious food to the foundation in La Romana so the children can enjoy healthy meals and snacks throughout the year. Plus, we took the kids to the METS Academy to get a behind the scenes tour of where our favorite New York team trains!
These moments remind us that giving back is about more than providing meals—it's about building relationships, creating opportunities, and investing in a brighter future for the next generation.
Thank you to our incredible partners, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this journey possible. Together, we're making a difference—one community, one child, and one act of kindness at a time. ❤️

A donation can become so much more than food. It can bring relief, connection, comfort, and hope to a family or community in need.
Every act of giving has the power to make a meaningful difference.

A meaningful day of community, remembrance, and connection. 💙
Goya was honored to support the 5th Annual Detective Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora Classic, paying tribute to two NYPD heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Held during Dominican Week, the event brought together more than 700 young people, families, officers, and community members.
We’re grateful to stand alongside the families of these fallen heroes and support an initiative that keeps their legacy alive while creating positive opportunities for the next generation.

Jeff Bezos just came out of retirement. His first CEO role since leaving Amazon. And he's building something nobody expected. 🤯
It's called Prometheus. $12 billion raised. $41 billion valuation. Backed by JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and Bezos himself.
150 employees. $273 million per person. That's how much investors are betting on this.
But here's what makes it different from every other AI company.
Prometheus isn't building another chatbot. It's not generating text or
images.
It's building what Bezos calls an "artificial general engineer" AI that designs jet engines, optimizes manufacturing, and prototypes physical products.
LLMs learned from the internet's text. Prometheus is learning from the physical world physics, simulations, engineering data, manufacturing processes.
In Bezos' own words: "Something that takes 100 engineers 10 years to build we want to make that 10 engineers, one year."
His co-CEO is Vik Bajaj, former Google X executive who worked with Sergey Brin on what became Waymo.
No ties to Amazon. No ties to Blue Origin. Bezos said "it deserves a dedicated team obsessed with this one thing."
While everyone is racing to build the best AI for words, Bezos is quietly building AI for the physical world.
That might be the bigger bet.
Thank you Ryan Miller and the @_MakingBillions team for having me on the podcast. Really enjoyed the engaging conversation about the importance we at AUA place on driving alignment with all our partners.
