Dosso Beauty Brings Hypoallergenic Braiding Hair Shop To Philly

Dosso Beauty's Philly shop will allow customers to purchase braiding hair and products in-stores, with an option for installs.

Dosso Beauty, a pioneering Black woman-owned brand specializing in hypoallergenic braiding hair, is expanding its reach with the launch of its inaugural brick-and-mortar store and salon in Philadelphia.

This milestone marks a significant step for the company, which has been offering innovative solutions for those with sensitive scalps since 2018. Founder Kadidja Dosso’s personal experience with allergic reactions to braiding hair inspired her to create Dosso Beauty. The new store, situated at 5102 Rochelle Ave, will showcase Dosso Beauty products and provide installation services.

The Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree shared her motivation in an interview with Fox29. I knew that it was the hair itself because I tried to use another brand that said it was clean therapy, and I noticed that it was a different reaction,” she said. “It wasn’t just scalp bumps…My scalp was inflamed, it was purple, and it was unbearable. So I knew that I had to find an option.” She discovered that her experience resonated with many others, stating, “I pulled about 200 women, and…200 plus women told me that they also had the same reaction.”

Dosso Beauty’s mission extends beyond selling organic beauty supplies. According to the company’s website, Dosso aims “to provide a platform for people of color to reinforce the confidence that they have within themselves.”

The brand has already made significant strides. In 2022, Dosso Beauty collaborated with Marsh + Mane, a Black-owned beauty supply retailer in Philadelphia. The previous year, Dosso won Pharrell Williams’ Black Ambition HBCU Grand Prize. “It shows that our team’s labor of love for the past three years has truly made a global impact,” Dosso stated on the company’s website. “This opportunity is meant to inspire others to chase their dreams no matter what obstacles they face.”

Participation in Amazon’s Black Business Accelerator program has further propelled Dosso Beauty’s growth. The brand’s products are now available on various platforms, including Amazon and GoPuff, as well as in over 40 independent retail stores across the U.S. As Dosso Beauty continues to evolve, the company focuses on launching new products, improving shipping and delivery options, and enhancing customer engagement and experience.

Vice President, Kamala Harris, J. D. Vance, Debate

Trump Campaign Won’t Commit To VP Debate With Kamala Harris Over ‘Democratic Ticket Uncertainty’ 

We know our Vice President is a master debater!

The Trump campaign claims they don’t know who will be on the Democratic ticket with Vice President Kamala Harris, so they won’t commit to a vice presidential debate. 

In a statement released on Jul. 17, the campaign senior advisor, Brian Hughes, said committing to a date wouldn’t be fair to whoever Harris selects as a running mate, alluding to speculation that President Joe Biden may drop out of the race. “We don’t know who the Democratic nominee for Vice President is going to be, so we can’t lock in a date before their convention,” Hughes said in a statement. 

“To do so would be unfair to Gavin Newsom, JB Pritzker, Gretchen Whitmer, or whoever Kamala Harris picks as her running mate.”

On the same day, the Biden campaign said Harris agreed to debate GOP vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on either Aug. 12 or Aug. 13. after previously extending an invite for Jul. 23. Campaign spokesperson Brian Fallon said it was Trump’s team that mentioned a debate could happen “anytime, anyplace.” “Donald Trump is the one whose campaign said he would debate ‘anytime, anyplace’ and who picked JD Vance specifically for his debating skills,” Fallon said.

“Now suddenly, right after a damning new leak showing his support for a nationwide abortion ban, Vance is backing off a debate against Vice President Harris, who has spent the last two years prosecuting the case on behalf of reproductive freedom.”

According to The Associated Press, the two candidates have not been able to agree on the network partner and format, but they hope conversations will happen soon. In a recent interview, the first-term senator said that it is important for the public to see him debate Harris. “Obviously, we want to debate Vice President Harris because it’s important for the American people to see the contrast,” Vance said. 

However, a number of Democratic supporters are already claiming that Harris will give Vance a debate he will never forget. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told reporters that “the V.P. will take it to JD Vance.” “The debate is going to have two parts to it,” she said. “It’s how strong our vice president is and how good her economic issues are. I’m looking forward to this debate.”

Similar thoughts have been expressed on social media. Biden-Harris spokesperson Quentin Fulks can be seen in a video calling Vance “boring and full of empty air” following his primetime speech on day two of the Republican National Convention. He said after “last night’s lackluster performance,” he wouldn’t want to debate Harris, either. “He might not have inspired a single American to vote for him, but he did provide a picture-perfect contrast,” Fulks said.

“He is a spineless backbencher desperate for Trump’s approval, while Vice President Harris is a powerful leader and a terrific partner to President Biden.”

Harris called Vance to congratulate him on his selection. While Vance said the vice president was “very gracious, very cordial” on the call, she pushed him to accept the terms of the debate. Virginia State University has been named as a potential host place for the debate, making it the first time a historically Black college or university (HBCU) hosted one.

New Orleans Council Moves Forward With An Ordinance That Will Pay Musicians $200 An Hour

Some New Orleans-based musicians may soon get a pay raise.

Members of the New Orleans City Council voted in favor of a musician pay ordinance which will now go to the full council for consideration. If passed, musicians hired by the city will be paid at least $200 per hour. If a band is hired, each member makes the same hourly rate. This is good news for some local musicians who say they are underpaid. 

Danovon Calhoun-Bettis is the Director of Engagement for The Music & Culture Coalition of New Orleans and a musician. Calhoun-Bettis. In an interview with WWLTV, the musician said many of his counterparts struggle to meet their basic expenses, including rent, food and health insurance. 

“There’s no way you can have the lifeline of the city providing you everything you need while not providing the basis of what you need,” Calhoun told the outlet.

 Morgan Clevenger has been active on the New Orleans music scene since the 1980s. The musician said that the city should look at the “whole picture” when it comes to compensation. 

“Performance is one thing, but they have to rehearse. They have to load in; they have to load out. They have pre-performance time, and all of that needs to be considered when we’re talking about rate of pay.” Clevenger told WVUE News. 

New Orleans City Council President Helena Moreno said that musicians are essential components to the city’s cultural makeup. 

“They’re our culture bearers. They are so much of what the city is about. So, they should be paid appropriately. We hear about musicians who just can’t make ends meet, so it’s hard to continue on with their craft,” Moreno told WGNO News. 

According to Moreno, artists who perform at the airport are currently paid $175 for three hours of work. 

The full council will vote on the ordinance July 25. If approved, council members said they hope the $200 rate will be a new standard for hiring bands in the private sector.

Ice Cube’s Production Company Cube Vision Extends Partnership With Paramount

'We are excited to expand on our successful partnership with Paramount through this unique television deal.'

N.W.A. founding member Ice Cube is expanding his entertainment umbrella, Cube Vision, with an extended partnership with Paramount Global.

According to Deadline, Ice Cube, real name, O’Shea Jackson, and his partner, Jeff Kwatinetz, COO of Cube Vision, have locked down a first-look television deal that will allow the duo to develop and executive produce projects for broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms across the Paramount network.

“We are excited to expand on our successful partnership with Paramount through this unique television deal,” said Cube and Kwatinetz in a joint written statement. “This deal provides us with everything we need to bring amazing and authentic stories to television, working with the best writers, showrunners, and television innovators in the entire business. We are thrilled to collaborate with Nina, Chris, and the rest of the All-Star Paramount Global team to build upon the great work we’ve done together.”

The first project is already being developed at Showtime Studios. It’s an unscripted project that will explore the cutthroat world of Hollywood through the eyes and experience of Black creators.

“Ice Cube is a bona fide powerhouse whose enduring impact on music, film, TV, and sports resonates with generations of fans,” said Nina L. Diaz, President of Content and CCO, Showtime/MTV Entertainment Studios. “It’s a privilege to build on our relationship with Cube Vision and continue to bring his trailblazing storytelling to audiences around the world.”

This comes on the heels of Cube telling Flavor Flav that a fourth Friday movie is closer to fruition. There have been barriers over the past 20 years that have prevented another Friday from being produced, but it looks like with new blood at Warner Bros., the world may be closer to seeing what Craig Jones (The character Cube played in the original movie and sequels) and crew have been up to over the years.

The original Friday was released in theaters back in 1995. The sequel, Next Friday, came out in 2000, and two years later, in 2002, the last movie in this series, Friday After Next, was released in theaters.

BREAKING: Illinois Sheriff’s Deputy Charged In The Murder Of Sonya Massey 

Justice for Sonya!


An Illinois sheriff deputy has been charged in the murder case of a Black woman, Sonya Massey, after she was shot and killed after calling the police. 

The Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office announced one of their own, Sean Grayson, has been indicted and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, and official misconduct. Illinois State Police (ISP) completed an investigation into Massey’s death and found enough evidence to charge Grayson. “It is clear that the deputy did not act as trained or in accordance with our standards,” the office said.

Massey, 36, was shot and killed on Jul. 6 after Sangamon County deputies in Springfield responded to a call of a prowler. According to The Illinois Times, the victim sustained a single gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at HSHS St. John’s Hospital’s emergency department. 

Little information was shared about what took place between the time deputies arrived at Massey’s home, shortly before 1 a.m., and when shots were fired, around 1:21 a.m. However, Sangamon County State’s Attorney John Milhiser said body-cam footage is expected to be released to the public at 10 a.m. on Jul. 22. “Nothing has been redacted except for the blurring of certain images, which was done out of respect for Ms. Massey and her family,” Milhiser said in a statement. 

The victim’s death sparked outrage from the Black community and civil rights leaders across the country, accusing Grayson of discharging his firearm, striking the mother of two, and killing her. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family, called for justice and accountability prior to the charges being announced. 

Now, he and his team praise the decision, saying it’s a “step forward.”

“This news is a step toward justice for Sonya’s loved ones, especially her children, who have endured unimaginable pain and suffering since they were notified of this tragedy,” Crump said. “We remain committed to uncovering the truth of what happened and identifying the failures that allowed this tragic death to occur.”

A member of Crump’s law firm, Paul Grinke, thanked Milhiser and ISP officials for moving swiftly in the matter, as many state officials seemingly support the charges. Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell released a statement saying his “heart breaks for the family and friends of Sonya Massey” and Grayson’s alleged actions “do not reflect the values and training of the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office or law enforcement as a whole.”

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker also made remarks about Massey’s tragic death, saying he is “enraged that another innocent Black woman had her life taken from her at the hands of a police officer.”

“Sonya Massey was concerned for her safety and called law enforcement to her home for protection,” he said. “Like all Illinoisans, she deserved that protection. Instead, innocent and unharmed, she was gunned down by an officer of the law.”

Grayson, who has been terminated from the sheriff’s department, is being represented by lawyer Dan Fultz. Fultz has not announced where his client is being held, but Milhiser said he plans to file a court petition to detain Grayson while he awaits trial under provisions of the Illinois Pretrial Fairness Act.

Funeral services for Massey are scheduled for Jul. 19 at Ruby’s Funeral Services & Crematories in Springfield.

Supreme Court To Decide Whether Student Loan Payments Will Double In Some States

The Biden administration is in the process of appealing two challenges brought forth by GOP-led states that would block his SAVE student loan payment relief.

The fate of student loan payments now lies in the hands of the Supreme Court.

After successfully deploying its Saving On A Valuable Education, or SAVE, plan, the Biden administration has been met with a new hurdle, due to Republican-led states aiming to halt programs created to provide relief for student loan borrowers. The latest move could result in student loan payments that are double the amount that student borrowers are currently paying.

Thanks to two legal challenges issued by two sets of GOP-led states, Missouri and Kansas, it is up to the Supreme Court to decide whether or not SAVE will continue for student loan borrowers or if the plan will be reversed, thus causing those already enrolled in the plan to see an increase in monthly payments. For those currently benefiting from SAVE’s program, which allows undergraduate borrowers to see half of their student loan payments cut in half, if the highest court sides with the challengers, the payments would double.

SAVE was first launched in the fall of 2023 and includes lower payments on student loan repayments, a subsidy ending runaway interest accrual, as well as multiple avenues to achieve student loan forgiveness. According to the Missouri and Kansas courts, blocking SAVE upholds the argument that “the program’s generous benefits far exceed what Congress originally authorized when it passed legislation establishing IDR plans.”

The Missouri legal challenge has led to a preliminary injunction, upheld by a federal judge, that suggests that the “generous debt cancellation features under the program may have exceeded what Congress had authorized.” Under a preliminary injunction, a federal program, policy, rule, or law is temporarily blocked while litigation is still underway. In previous cases, when a preliminary injunction is granted, the court likely believes the challenge has a strong possibility of succeeding. 

The second legal challenge filed in Kansas allows SAVE to continue its student loan forgiveness avenues; however, the preliminary injunction in this case blocked reduced payments set to go into effect on July 1 thanks to the student loan repayment plan.  As a result of this injunction, student borrowers who were looking forward to seeing a huge portion, and in some cases, their entire undergraduate student loans reduced by up to 50%, will no longer reap those benefits. Instead, millions of borrowers have been placed into forbearance since there was not enough time to recalculate borrowers’ payments given the significantly short amount of time they were given to comply with the new court order.

With the challenges in place, the Biden administration has promised to appeal both rulings and found temporary success in fighting against the Kansas injunction. According to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, an emergency stay was issued to the lower court’s injunction. What this means for borrowers is that SAVE’s implementation of lower payments can continue, despite the Kansas injunction.

The win, however, was quickly diminished when state courts in Alaska, Texas, and South Carolina appealed the 10th Circuit’s ruling on the claim that “the stay of the Kansas court’s injunction was improper.” Now, the Supreme Court will decide if it will take on the 10th Circuit’s challenge, determining if it will uphold or overturn the stay.

In the Missouri injunction, the Biden administration still plans to challenge the court ruling. However, they are first looking for clarity around if this means that all student loan forgiveness under SAVE is blocked or if this only applies to “early” student loan forgiveness. The latter is a feature of the program designed to wipe out a borrower’s student loan debt in just under ten years, significantly lower than the 20 or 25 years that most borrowers take to clear out student loan debt.

It is predicted that both injunction rulings will end up in the hands of the Supreme Court, especially since lawmakers anticipate the Missouri case will be appealed by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. While it is unclear when the highest court in the nation will release details surrounding the emergency appeal of the 10th Circuit’s stay, it is anticipated that it will take place before July ends. A responsive brief from the Biden administration will reportedly take place July 18.

Buy From A Black Woman Org Withdraws Support Of Hilton Hotels Over Racist Experience 

The hospitality conglomerate has come under fire in the past for alleged racist behavior.

Buy From A Black Woman (BFABW), a nonprofit organization, dropped support of Hilton Hotels after an alleged racist incident occurred at The Tulsa Club Hotel in Oklahoma. 

The organization released a statement announcing they will no longer be utilizing Hilton Hotels and Resorts after working with them since 2020. All future reservations will be canceled, effective immediately. “We have been using Hilton Hotels for the Inspire Tour since its inception in 2021, and to experience such blatant racism is both shocking and disheartening,” BFABW founder Nikki Porcher said. 

“Our community deserves better, and we cannot in good conscience continue to support a company that does not uphold the values of respect, inclusion, and equity.” 

In July 2024, an incident took place at the hotel allegedly involving racist behavior that the organization team experienced. Porcher says the decision to release the partnership came from the lack of appropriate response from Hilton Hotels and Resorts. The organization claims the response heightened the situation.

The hospitality conglomerate has come under fire in the past for alleged racist behavior. In 2020, according to USA Today, the hotel was hit with several discrimination lawsuits by Black guests who claimed they were confronted about their presence at hotels when they were either visitors or registered guests. One man, Albert Law, claims he checked into the Hilton Richmond Downtown in Virginia and was approached by a security guard who asked, “Do you belong here?”

In other alleged instances, hotel staff called or threatened to call the police.

Porcher said the organization is taking a stance to boycott as it reflects its “commitment to standing against racism and ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for all,” however, they are open to discussing ways to rectify the situation. “We are disappointed by Hilton Hotel’s handling of this issue and urge them to address these systemic problems within their organization,” she said. 

“Our doors are open to discussing how we can move forward and work together to ensure that such incidents do not occur again.” 


BFABW is currently hosting its 2024 “Inspire Tour” with retail giant H&M. The organization said alternative arrangements will be made for the remaining Washington, D.C., and Toronto, Ontario stops in order to partner with businesses that align with diversity, equity, and inclusion values.

Replacement Judge In Young Thug RICO Case Recuses Herself

After Judge Glanville was recused from the Young Thug RICO trial, the judge selected to replace him Judge Shukura L. Ingram recused herself

Another interesting twist to the longest-running criminal trial in Georgia history has occurred. After Judge Glanville was taken off the Young Thug RICO trial, the judge selected to replace him has now removed herself due to a previous connection with a YSL (Young Stoner Life Records, Young Thug’s record label) member.

According to Billboard, Judge Shukura L. Ingram recused herself on July 17 after stating her connection to a Fulton County courthouse deputy, Akeiba Stanley, who was arrested last year for allegedly trying to bring in contraband to another member of YSL. Prosecutors claimed that Stanley was having an “inappropriate relationship” with the defendant. Rolling Stone reported that the accusation occurred last year when the deputy allegedly tried to get Christian Eppinger contraband.

Stanley was previously assigned to Ingram’s courtroom.

“Because this court’s former assigned deputy could be called as a witness in any future proceedings in this case, the court may be called upon to assess this deputy’s credibility or rule on matters related to her criminal prosecution,” Ingram said. “This may undermine the public’s confidence in the impartiality of the proceedings.”

Although she stated she had no actual bias against Stanley, she felt that she must avoid any “appearance of impropriety” in the proceedings: “The clerk of this court is directed to reassign this criminal action to another judge.”

The court clerk selected Judge Paige Reese Whitaker to take over the RICO case.

Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, was charged with conspiracy to violate the RICO Act and was accused of being involved in street gang activity when he was arrested in May 2022. Prosecutors also hit him with the charge of participating in street gang activity, three counts of violating the Georgia Controlled Substances Act, possession of a firearm while committing a felony, and possession of a machine gun.

Young Thug was accused of heading an alleged affiliate of the Bloods street gang and being responsible for murders, armed robberies, and assaults committed between January 2015 and May 2022.
