One of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter says she wants to live in a world where all lives matter.
During a keynote speech at the 2016 Personal Democracy Forum on Wednesday Alicia Garza discussed the role black political power plays in revolutionizing democracy.
“Today’s Black power is transforming democracy — but we cannot do it alone,” she said. “We need the best and the brightest thinkers, strategists, coders, surveillance experts, tech geeks and disruptors to utilize all of the tools we have available to us to build the world that we want to see. A world where Black lives matter. A world where all lives matter.”
Michelle Obama has blessed us once again. The first lady is officially on Snapchat and IT’S LIT!
Obama joined the app on Tuesday, which appropriately was National Selfie Day, to give young people a chance to follow her upcoming trips to Liberia, Morocco and Spain with her daughters at the end of June. She’s also using the platform to encourage for girls through her Let Girls Learn initiative, according to The White House.
But before her trip, she had to give the app a test run. Her first 24 hours on Snapchat are proof that the first lady just gets it.
From sprinkling her black girl magic all over The White House to dabbing with her mentees, here’s exactly why FLOTUS was LIT AF during her Snapchat inauguration.
Like many brides, Nakyia Whitty posted some photos on Instagram after her June 11 wedding — not thinking much of it at all.
Among the snaps from the Punta Cana, Dominican Republic nuptials were some shots that featured her and her bridesmaids all rocking their natural hair.
“I wore my hair this way because it’s how I wear my hair every day,” Whitty told The Huffington Post. “It’s a part of me. I’m proud enough to wear it daily, even more proud to rock it at such a momentous occasion.”
SLAY.
Welcome to the world of “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, a hot, campy mess where nothing actually makes sense but it’s OK because everything is so damn entertaining. And yet, while there’s very little that resembles actual reality (and physics), one aspect of the series has always remained profoundly real: its characters.
With stars like Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Dwayne Johnson and the late Paul Walker, something the franchise has always gotten right, effortlessly, is an ensemble that reflects the real people who make up New York and Los Angeles’s underground street racing scenes, and most major cities in the United States in general. Not everyone is white.
The original “The Fast and the Furious” movie, which debuted 15 years ago on this day so we highlighted all the hallmarks of what has been so commended throughout the franchise.
