A new bakery in Cleveland is helping people with criminal records and other problems get trained and back into the workforce.

Mariah was most upset that she had missed out on seeing the Deadpool movie, which she obviously wants to see very badly.
Luckily, Deadpool hasn’t been released yet. And, luckier still, Ryan Reynolds – the star of Deadpool – saw Mariah’s video, had some sympathy for her, and offered her two tickets to attend the movie’s premiere in New York.
