The Palace refused to give her son, Archie, a title and a security detail—and there were some “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be.” The mix of racism, isolation, and intrusion she endured drove Meghan to suicidal thoughts.

Vanessa Bryant is opening up about how she is living through the “unimaginable pain” of losing her daughter and husband.
In a new interview with ‘People,’ Kobe Bryant’s widow said,“There are some days where it “hurts too much” to talk about Kobe and Gianna. This pain is unimaginable. You just have to get up and push forward. Getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that’s what I do.”
Bryant says her three daughters give her strength.
Basketball legend Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash in 2020.
Do you think losing a celebrity spouse makes it harder to heal than if you are married to a non-famous person?
Billboard has announced that Facebook music video streams will now be factored into the Billboard 100, Billboard 200, Billboard Global 200, Artist 100, and all the other charts where streaming data is incorporated.
They state that only the data from the officially licensed music videos will be factored in.
This was done in the past in 2013 when Billboard began factoring YouTube streams.
This change will take place on March 27th.

Lupita Nyong’o appeared on Good Morning America on Wednesday (March 3rd) to talk Black Panther 2 and although she couldn’t give specifics she did say “Black Panther” director, Ryan Coogler has some “really exciting ideas.”
When talking about how Chadwick Boseman’s character, T’Challa, would be worked into the story, Nyong’o says the role won’t be recast or digitally inserted but says, “the cast will honor his legacy in this new #BlackPanther.”
“Black Panther 2” is slated to be released July 8, 2022, and will accompany other MCU sequels, Captain Marvel 2, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
Who do you think should further T’Challa’s legacy, Shuri or will Killmonger have a change of heart and step up to defend Wakanda?
Even as states such as Texas and Mississippi get rid of mask mandates, some of the nation’s largest retailers will still require them.
Kroger, Macy’s Starbucks, Target, and CVS have announced their mask policies remain in effect while shopping in their stores.
According to USA TODAY, Best Buy, Kohl’s, and Ulta are also sticking with their mask requirements across the country.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday said states lifting mask requirements are making a “big mistake.”
Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves responded on Twitter, “I just think we should trust Americans, not insult them.”
The victim who has accused Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty of sexual assault, is now detailing the campaign she says is meant to silence her.
The victim is known as “Jennifer” and says associates of Nicki and Kenneth “harassed” her last year, even offering her hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In 2020, “Jennifer” moved three times and her 22-year old daughter moved from New York just recently to avoid contact with the Pettys and their associates. She says even her “family was willing to sacrifice her.”
“Jennifer” claims she was assaulted at knife-point in 1994 by Petty when they were both 16, however, Petty’s parents told “Jennifer’s” parents that they two were dating. “Jennifer’s” parents allowed Petty’s parents to go to the D.A. office to say they were her aunt and uncle.
It’s clear that “Jennifer” fears for her life, but do you think Nicki and Kenneth Petty are dangerously harassing her?

PPP, the Paycheck Protection Program was designed to keep small businesses afloat after they were hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic last year. Another round is in President Biden’s COVID relief plan now making it’s way through the U.S. Senate. But not every person who applied did it correctly. Some made mistakes. Others should not have applied because they weren’t eligible… and they knew it. Now some are facing federal prosecution. This a cautionary tale and advice for those who may consider applying for… or even defrauding the PPP system.

(Washington, DC) — The deadly January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was an act of domestic terrorism. So said FBI Director Chris Wray during a Senate hearing. Wray testified that domestic terrorism has been brewing for years and remains a top priority for the FBI. Wray said hundreds of suspects have been identified in a wide-ranging, ongoing investigation of the January 6th attack. Wray noted that threats of racially-motivated violence by white supremacists have skyrocketed. He also expressed concerns about threats of violence against law enforcement officials.
FBI Director Christopher Wray
Capitol Police were quickly overwhelmed by a huge mob of angry Trump supporters as Congress met to certify the results of the presidential election. Wray said he has seen no evidence that the Capitol attack was provoked by fake Trump protesters. He also noted no evidence of involvement by Antifa. Wray confirmed the existence of an FBI threat assessment of a possible large-scale attack at the Capitol before January 6th. He called it raw and unverified. Wray insisted it was shared with Capitol Police. However, Capitol security officials have testified that they did not see the FBI threat alert. They blamed faulty intelligence for the lack of preparedness.
(Baltimore, MD) — Governor Larry Hogan says the state is expecting to get a shipment of nearly 50-thousand doses of the Johnson and Johnson COVID vaccine this week. But, he says, this will be the only shipment for at least the next two weeks. As of today, more than one-point-five-million Maryland residents have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Federal health officials say it’s important for residents to get the earliest available vaccine, regardless of brand.

I am no longer a Democrat. I cannot stand for the defunding of the police, higher taxes on working families and job-killing socialist policies that will devastate Americans of all walks of life.
Now, let me make one thing clear—I haven’t changed. The Democratic Party has changed. It’s become a toxic combination of radical leftists and liberal elites in San Francisco and Hollywood have taken over my former Party.

Do love a nice, thick, juicy ribeye steak? Maybe prime rib or filet mignon? For red meateaters they are favorites. But how much is too much? Is all of it just not good for you or can you have it in moderation? We talk about these health questions and others related to red meat consumption.
WASHINGTON – Howard University President Wayne A. I. Frederick will serve as keynote speaker for the 2021 Charter Day Convocation on Friday, March 5 at 11 a.m. Dr. Frederick holds three academic degrees from Howard University and exemplifies the institutional motto of truth and service.
Each year, the Charter Day Convocation ceremony commemorates the signing of the federal charter on March 2, 1867 establishing Howard as a university. At this year’s ceremony, Dr. Frederick is expected to speak about the challenges, and latest signs of hope, related to the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Frederick will also aim to recommit members of the University community to Howard’s widely recognized leadership role in ameliorating social injustices and inequality, as well as other values such as student opportunity and campus diversity. In January, Howard University celebrated the inauguration of Howard alumna Kamala Harris as vice president of the United States, the first time an African-American or a woman has ever held that office.
Over the past year, Dr. Frederick has galvanized Howard University’s historic response to the coronavirus outbreak, which has disproportionately affected communities of color. Through his leadership, Howard University has played an important role through its various medical-related entities and scientific infrastructure, research expertise and successful outreach initiatives in diverse communities.
As an undergraduate, Dr. Frederick was a student in Howard University’s B.S./M.D. dual degree program. He completed the requirements for both degrees in six years, allowing him to earn his Bachelor of Science degree and his medical degree by the age of 22. He also earned a Master of Business Administration from Howard University’s School of Business in 2011, and he performed post-doctoral research and surgical oncology fellowships at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Upon his return to Howard University, his academic positions included associate dean in the College of Medicine, division chief in the Department of Surgery, director of the Cancer Center and deputy provost for Health Sciences. Dr. Frederick also served as provost and chief academic officer. In 2014, he was appointed the 17th president of Howard University. Most recently, the Howard University Board of Trustees selected Dr. Frederick to serve as the distinguished Charles R. Drew professor of surgery.
During his tenure as president, Dr. Frederick pursued initiatives to streamline and strengthen University operations. Dr. Frederick also devotes his time to writing and speaking on salient topics in higher education, including the impact of historically Black colleges and universities, campus intellectual diversity, the underrepresentation of African-American men in medical school and gender equity on college campuses.
The March 5 Convocation sets the stage for this year’s Charter Day Virtual Celebration. Traditionally a black-tie gala, the virtual celebration will be a fundraising event with the proceeds supporting financial aid for Howard students.
This week we celebrate the female pioneers in entertainment. From the soulful music of Aretha Franklin to the Triple Crown Queen of acting, Viola Davis. #WomensHistoryMonth
(Washington, DC) — The National Cherry Blossom Festival starts late this month. Organizers say there won’t be an in-person parade this year due to coronavirus worries, but a virtual Paws & Petals Parade is scheduled for April 3rd. The Japan Foundation will co-present the March 20th opening ceremony featuring performers from Japan and the U.S. Peak bloom is expected from April 2nd to April 5th. More information is at nationalcherryblossomfestival.org.
Veteran Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith is expected to be released from the team, possibly as soon as today or tomorrow. Smith’s return to gridiron last year was the NFL’s feel-good story of the year. In 2018 Smith’s leg was broken during a game against the Houston Texans. After 17 surgeries that saved his leg from amputation, Smith’s heroic late-season play last year took Washington to the playoffs.

Ladies’ Night is always lit. We were “three” this week, with Autumn, Coka-Lani, and myself (Angela)
As always, the conversation was driven by current events, along with what’s going on within our own individual platforms. Autumn kicked off Women’s History Month. Coka-Lani got us all excited about her D’Angela Face-Off!
Of course, I’m always bringing the Pillow Talk. We talked about Lionel Richie’s 30 year old girlfriend. He’s 70, by the way. So, we talked about our personal age preferences when dating.
All I can say is, wait until you hear what one of the ladies say about her younger days as a Sugar Baby! LOL! I’m still laughing about that!
Ambassador Suzan Johnson Cook is leading a grant-funded program that pairs Black women in ministry with mentors. She is also leading a State of Black Women Summit hosted by the Global Black Women’s Chamber of Commerce.

White America does that enough for us! And oop, let’s not forget Cam Newton has “dropped the ball” in life, like most of us humans, but suddenly we can’t look past a teenager who made a verbal mistake. He didn’t curse. He didn’t throw no blows. He didn’t stab no one. Nothing. He talked trash like most athletes do— and he’s been crucified as a result.

While this kid was disrespectful, I don’t believe the proper thing to do is embarrass him in front of his peers. Pull him aside and talk to him one-on-one, you will go so much farther if you’re really trying to make an impact in his life.

Repost by @PeninaBrown – Listen! I believe in kids way more than adults and if you raise them right, from infancy, pour into them, give them what THEY need (not what you need) and teach them the principles and fundamentals of life, then you won’t have to worry about them going astray as adults. I said what I said, and I stand by it. This was a good conversation @frankski & I had on @whurfm. I don’t believe kids should be disrespectful to adults, but I equally believe, just because they’re kids doesn’t mean you have the right to talk to them any kind of way. Kids deserve respect as well. Periodt. While this kid was disrespectful, I don’t believe the proper thing to do is embarrass him in front of his peers. Pull him aside and talk to him one-on-one, you will go so much farther if you’re really trying to make an impact in his life. And as a side note, it feels quite hypocritical to me that we put these children in the most aggressive arena on the field and expect them to just turn it off when the whistle blows. Umm, yeah okay.
but let’s not discuss the worst case scenarios… because those are the scenarios that end up in divorce anyway and the phone was simply the conduit & ultimately the demise of the marriage was inevitable.

Now, we already know if a person feels the need to constantly look in a phone, they clearly don’t trust their spouse, or have their own insecurities, and either way, there are deeper issues within that relationship… but let’s not discuss the worst case scenarios… because those are the scenarios that end up in divorce anyway and the phone was simply the conduit & ultimately the demise of the marriage was inevitable. #tapin#frankskishow#withninabrown#whurfm@frankskishow @frankski
