Jay Ellis By Mwabi Kaira A petition floated around the internet demanding that Lawrence return to Insecure when it was assumed that he wouldn’t appear on Season 3. Team Lawrence championed hard and fans of the show were pleasantly surprised when Issa ran into him at the 7-11 while she was at Coachella. Lawrence has been on every episode since…
Angela and Ghost By Mwabi Kaira As far as season finales and cliffhangers go, Power fell flat last night. Continue Don’t read ahead if you haven’t seen the finale…you’ve been warned… Angela When Raina got killed last season we felt that in our souls because no one saw it coming.

Insecure By Mwabi Kaira I saw something watching Insecure the other night that we rarely get to see on the screen; the bad credit struggle. A whole scene was dedicated to it and Issa’s dreaded score was right there on display. Our favorite awkward girl’s score is 425. She’s gone to see her friend Kelli for some help getting her…

Ray J & mom Sonja Norwood By Mwabi Kaira I’ve noticed a trend when it comes to “our” reality shows; mothers of grown black men stay in their business. First there was Mama Jones on Love and Hip Hop New York, who stayed in Jim Jones and Chrissy’s relationship in the first season back in 2011. She didn’t like not…
Photo courtesy of Starz By Mwabi Kaira I was late to the Power party. Everyone was singing its praises Season 1 and I just wasn’t feeling it. I finally got past the first episode and binge watched the entire season. It was hard for me to understand how everyone was so clueless with what was going on when it was…
Beyoncé By Mwabi Kaira Fashionistas and avid fashion magazine readers look forward to Vogue’s September issue as much as they look forward to Fashion Week and The Met Gala.

Nova & Charley of Queen Sugar By Mwabi Kaira My parents gave me two sisters, one older and one younger. My oldest sister was three years older than me and my little sister is 18 months younger than me. As teens we pulled from the same dating pool in our small town. They say girls mature faster than boys and…
Mya By Mwabi Kaira We were introduced to songbird Mýa in 1998 as a young 18-year-old when her platinum self-titled debut album hit the scene. She established herself as a triple threat with her beautiful voice, killer dance moves and acting chops. Over the years, we have seen Mýa on both the big and small screen in In Too Deep,…
