A daughter drove HUNDREDS of miles to check on her sick 75-year-old father... only to find the locks changed and a Ring camera on his door.
When she climbed through a window to reach her own dad, SHE got arrested for trespassing.
Then she was told, THROUGH THE DOORBELL, that he was no longer alive and that the NURSE who "took care of him" actually now OWNED HER DAD'S HOUSE.
This happened in Conway, South Carolina, and it will make your blood boil.
Her name is Nora Rowland.
Her dad was Robert Rowland, 75 years old and a vulnerable man living with Parkinson's and a brain injury.
Nora and her father were incredibly close. A "daddy's girl," she said. They FaceTimed every single week.
Then, in early 2024, a nurse named Sarah Smalls started caring for Robert through a home care company.
And that's when Nora says her dad started to disappear.
The weekly calls slowed. Then stopped. Something was wrong.
So on Father's Day, when she didn't hear from him, she got in her car and drove from Baltimore all the way to South Carolina to check on the man she loved.
When she got there, his front door had been replaced. A Ring camera was watching her. She couldn't get into her own father's home.
So she climbed through a window. And police arrested her and her partner for TRESPASSING... at her own dad's house.
And then, over that Ring doorbell, she was told her father had died.
Nora says that in the weeks before her father died, that nurse had the DEED to his house signed over to herself.
...and the family wasn't told until he was already gone.
To be clear... man with Parkinson's and a BRAIN INJURY, who was classified as a vulnerable adult was allowed to SIGN HIS HOME AWAY.
In Nora's own words: "He would never think that someone could do this to him. I really can't emphasize enough how many other people could easily get taken advantage of like this."
Her trespassing charges were dismissed, s now she's fighting in court to get her father's house back.
The nurse refused to comment. The care company claimed they knew nothing, but Nora says she has subpoenaed documents proving otherwise.
Police are still investigating.
i want everyone who is enjoying Buddy that’s in theaters rn to also support the independent film Mr Crocket (2024) directed by Brandon Epsy. it’s an INCREDIBLYYYY underrated horror movie and it’s a very similar concept.
Long before European colonial powers divided Africa among themselves, women across the continent had already ruled kingdoms, commanded armies, shaped diplomacy and influenced some of Africa’s most important political institutions. Their stories came from very different places and periods, from ancient Egypt and the Horn of Africa to Central and Southern Africa. Queen Nefertari, one of the most prominent royal women of ancient Egypt, lived more than 3,000 years ago and was the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Ramesses II. Makeda, traditionally remembered as the Queen of Sheba in Ethiopian tradition, occupies a powerful place in the Kebra Nagast, although historians continue to debate the historical identity of the biblical Queen of Sheba. Centuries later, Empress Zewditu became Ethiopia’s first woman to reign as empress in her own right, ruling from 1916 until her death in 1930.
Other African women exercised power in very different political circumstances. Queen Nandi, mother of Shaka, became an important figure in the history and memory of the Zulu kingdom. In Central Africa, Queen Njinga of Ndongo and Matamba emerged as one of the seventeenth century’s most formidable African rulers. She negotiated with the Portuguese, formed alliances, led resistance and spent decades defending her political authority as Portuguese expansion and the Atlantic slave trade transformed the region. Her long reign is especially important because it challenges the old assumption that African women existed only at the margins of political and military history.
These women should not be treated as though they belonged to one civilization or shared a single experience simply because they were African. They lived centuries apart, spoke different languages, practiced different religions and governed within completely different political systems. Some are documented extensively in surviving historical records, while others are known through combinations of written sources, oral traditions and later cultural memory. That distinction matters. Learning African history also means separating what can be firmly documented from tradition and legend rather than turning every powerful story into unquestioned fact.

Lena Horne, Esther Rolle, Diahann Carroll, Eartha Kitt, Pam Grier, Nell Carter, Dorothy Dandridge, Isabel Sanford, Marla Gibbs, Della Reese, Hattie McDaniel, Mabel King, LaWanda Page, Ruby Dee and Cicely Tyson belonged to different generations, but together they tell an extraordinary story of Black women carving out space in American entertainment. They worked in an industry where Black actresses were often offered stereotypical or limited roles, yet each found ways to leave a mark through film, television, theater and music. Hattie McDaniel became the first Black person to win an Academy Award in 1940, Dorothy Dandridge became the first Black woman nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1955, and decades later Diahann Carroll made television history with Julia, becoming one of the first Black women to lead a network television series in a role that did not revolve around domestic service. Cicely Tyson became famous for deliberately choosing roles that presented Black women with dignity, complexity and humanity, while actresses such as Pam Grier challenged conventional ideas about who could be an action hero and carry a film.
Their influence also reached far beyond individual awards and famous performances. Isabel Sanford became the first Black woman to win the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for The Jeffersons, while Marla Gibbs turned Florence Johnston into one of television’s most memorable characters before starring in 227. Esther Rolle insisted that Black family life be portrayed with greater seriousness on Good Times, and Ruby Dee spent decades combining acting with civil rights activism. Eartha Kitt, Lena Horne, Della Reese and Nell Carter crossed between music, stage and screen, building careers at times when Black performers routinely encountered segregation and discrimination even after becoming nationally famous. Their careers were not identical and neither were their views, but their collective legacy helped widen what audiences could see Black women doing on screen. Many opportunities available to later generations of Black actresses were built on ground these women spent decades breaking.
There was an HIV/AIDS awareness episode of 'A Different World' where they had an assignment to write speeches for their own funeral, with Whoopi Goldberg and Tisha Campbell guest starring
That scene where Tisha's character, Josie revealed to the class through her assignment speech that she was HIV positive was one of the most powerful and informative moments i'm glad was portrayed on a sitcom
BTW Tisha Campbell's performance was just 10/10, genuine chills
