As a kid, I recognized this nod to Beauty Shop in the 2010 Karate Kid remake. I felt like I was in on a special joke, which was very formative for me as a 10 year old movie lover ❤️

let people miss you. let things unfold without your interference. let life surprise you. control is exhausting, trust is freedom.

Aftercare for doing hard things is really, really important. Not as a reward, but as a genuine act of smoothing out the stretching you just did to meet the challenges of that hard thing. Something intimate and nourishing.

It’s so important.

Before Day26, before Mindless Behavior, there was an R&B Boy Band straight outta Chicago with all the promise in the WORLD.

Originally a five piece and then four, One Chance was discovered by Usher and signed by Clive Davis on the spot.

Their debut single “Look At Her” featuring Fabo of D4L had MySpace and 106 & Park in a chokehold. Their debut album ‘Private’ continued to get pushed back and eventually shelved due to continuing changes at J Records [several acts saw this fate during the J/Jive/Zomba/RCA shakeup].

After leaving J/US, they signed with T-Pain over at Nappy Boy which brought their mixtape ‘Ain’t No Room For Talkin’’.

One Chance never really got their “chance” and that sucks because they truly deserved it.

“Could This Be Love” is one of my favorite leaks from them. I remember everyone always said Rob looked like Lloyd 🤣.

Can’t believe this was 20 years ago.

Song: “Look At Her” - full ATL Snap anthem.

Black-owned bookstores in the U.S. now have their own directory for the first time ever, launched by the nonprofit National Association of Black Bookstores — who found that:

• There are 306 Black-owned bookstores nationwide (8% of independent bookstores)
• 14 states have no Black-owned bookstore
• Nearly 90% report annual revenue at under $250,000
• Sales of books by Black authors declined by 14%, despite an increase in overall print sales
