A 7-month-old girl named Kiyomi Parker was sh*t in the head at around 4 p.m. in north St. Louis. She never made it home.

Police rushed her to the hospital in a patrol SUV, shutting down streets to get her there faster. It wasn't enough.

The person who sh*t her was 10 years old. He confessed. He knew where the gun was kept. He had taken it out before.

The gun belonged to Kiyomi's own father. He was 19. He has since been charged with second-degree m*rder.

Kiyomi was the second child k*lled by gunfire in St. Louis that same week.

Kiyomi's story deserves to be heard. So do the ones you have never seen covered. Follow because every victim left out of their own story is counting on someone to tell it straight.
You don't fuck yourself You race baiting piece of shit.

Mýa stepped onto the scene in 1998, just four years after Aaliyah made her debut.

Watching her command the ESSENCE Fest stage with “Back & Forth” in honor of Baby Girl felt like a full-circle moment for an era that shaped R&B forever.

Chlöe took on “Are You That Somebody?” with the power & confidence the moment deserved.

And Fatima Robinson, the genius that you are.

Your choreography helped define an era of Aaliyah’s stardom, and Chlöe brought every count back to life on the ESSENCE Fest stage.

Baby Girl’s legacy remains in very good hands. #ESSENCEFest

The family of an Illinois man who disappeared after attending the Electric Forest music festival in Michigan is questioning authorities’ conclusion that he died by suicide.

According to reports, Jerard R. Jackson traveled to the festival with a group of friends after renting a truck and driving everyone from Illinois. His family says he was later reported missing, while the rest of the group returned home without him. Days later, he was found dead in a wooded area, and authorities ruled his death a suicide.

A family member has publicly rejected that conclusion, saying Jackson had no history of mental illness and accusing his friends of trying to paint a false narrative about his mental state after he disappeared. The family member also noted that Jackson was reportedly the only Black person in the group and says the family has received few answers about what happened in the time between his disappearance and the discovery of his body.

The case is now drawing attention online, with many pointing to similarities they see between Jackson’s death and other recent cases involving young Black men who disappeared while traveling with White friends. Some have specifically pointed to the case of Nolan Wells, drawing parallels between the circumstances and raising concerns about patterns in how these cases are handled.

Jerard R. Jackson’s family continues to call for answers and has rallied behind the hashtag

Lupita Nyong'o reflects on her career after winning an Oscar for her debut film

"That is the only life I know, right? The version of life where I won an Academy Award for the first movie I ever did. It's unbelievable that it happened that way, but I'm so glad it did because it happened before I had a chance to want it and now I get to be grateful for the rest of my life."

"I would not be in a Chris Nolan film were it not for that. It legitimized my presence in an industry that has a very short attention span."

Another story of a Black young man going off with 2 white boys and never returning 👇🏾

Today, I’m speaking out for my brother, Daniel “ Mike “ Erving

Daniel was picked up from my mother’s home in the 14000 block of Woodland Trails in Rowlett, Texas, On April 13, 2026 by two white boys Named LUCAS AND RYLIE for what was supposed to be a fishing trip. He never came home.

The two boys returned home, but Daniel did not.

Instead of immediately notifying our family that Daniel was missing, coming back to the house where they picked him up, or contacting law enforcement, they went to school the very next day while my brother was still missing. Our family was left searching for answers, not even knowing where Daniel was.

As the days passed, Daniel’s missing-person photos began spreading across social media. Our community shared his face everywhere, hoping someone had seen him. It wasn’t until his disappearance gained widespread attention online that information began to surface. Four days later, Daniel was found dead in the lake. Body was Unidentifiable!

Our family has been left with questions that have never been answered. If nothing criminal happened, why wasn’t Daniel reported missing immediately? Why didn’t anyone return to the home where they picked him up to tell our mother something had happened? Why wasn’t law enforcement contacted right away? Why did everyone carry on with their lives while our family desperately searched for my brother?

Watching the recent tragedy in Mississippi involving another young Black man whose body was found in a lake has reopened wounds that have never healed. Too many Black families are left mourning loved ones while searching for answers. Too many families feel like their voices are ignored.

To this day, our family believes Daniel deserves a complete and thorough investigation. We are still waiting for accountability, transparency, and justice. No family should have to spend years wondering what really happened to someone they love.

Daniel mattered. His life mattered. His story deserves to be heard.

Please continue sharing his name and his story. We will never stop asking for the truth, and we will never stop fighting for justice for Daniel.
