Your heart is not a state secret. You are meant to declare allegiances. You are meant to have favourites. Write the letter. Miss the train. Stay up until dawn talking. You should be caught red-handed loving something, someone.
Regina Hall has stealthily become one of the defining ensemble actors of Black studio films. She has played both the straight woman and the comic relief in films like 'The Best Man' and 'Girls Trip.' For years, critics treated this as charm rather than craft. Not until she transitioned to prestige turns in 'Support the Girls,' 'Black Monday,' and the Oscar-winning 'One Battle After Another' were the very traits that gave her such command of humor properly recognized.
“People saw me as a broad comedic actress,” she says, “and so I needed to convince them that you could just do a grounded version of stuff.”
The veteran actress talks about her mid-career breakthrough, reprising her role as the vulgar and lovable Brenda Meeks in the 'Scary Movie' franchise, and why she's “still grinding and working”: https://t.co/dGsyPPBaLt
Imagine being a black athlete dominating such
a predominantly white sport while looking fly and alternative in an era where black athletes were barely even allowed to express themself without being persecuted? Truly revolutionary
Altering a player's authentic emotion after reaching the pinnacle of their sport for a phony AI image that doesn't even look like that player, is the exact opposite reason why we watch and love sports. We love the raw emotion that it produces. Such a disservice for no reason.

Watched the movies Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick?
The first Top Gun competition was held in 1949. The white pilots competed with the latest state of art aircraft while the black pilots were forced to compete with older obsolete planes.
After 3 days of competition The Tuskegee Airmen team of : Captain Alva Temple, 1st Lieutenant Harry Stewart, 1st Lieutenant James Harvey, and 1st Lieutenant Halbert Alexander (alternate) were announced the winners. The official results for first place were recorded as “unknown” for nearly 46 years.
There was dead silence in the room. Not one of their colleagues applauded this accomplishment. The victory was swept under the rug and the trophy ‘went missing’ and was not seen by the public for 55 years (until 2004). Introducing the real Top Guns.
73 years after the historic win, the American Association of Retired Persons’ Wish of a Lifetime organization met with Harvey to grant his “wish” – that his team be widely recognized.
His other work with Imaan, shot in Cairo for Harper’s Bazaar, took my breath away. Fashion photographers who also excel in landscape are truly a dying breed.
it was a fruitful black history month for me bc learned so much about this beautiful art style. This is amazing. The money collection in the first place … I could talk about it for dayssss
