Teyana Taylor Collaborates With Jordan Brand For Reimagined Air Jordan 3s

The launch is expected sometime during the Spring 2026 season

Before blessing the stage at this year’s BET Awards, Harlem-bred Teyana Taylor announced a collaboration with Jordan Brand’s Air Jordan, with an expected launch date next year.

According to Sneaker News, the recording artist will be releasing a collaborative effort with the sneaker giant. Sneakerheads and fans of Taylor can expect an Air Jordan 3 reimagining sometime during the Spring 2026 season. She also announced that she has a new album coming out.

The media outlet reported that she was at the Jordan Building at Nike World Headquarters to deliver the news. She appeared on a panel with Reggie Saunders, VP of Entertainment Marketing at Jordan Brand. The Air Jordan 3 sneaker she’s working on will be an inspiration, honoring her Harlem roots, “A Rose From Harlem.” The album, Escape Room, is slated for an August release, accompanied by a recent music video featuring cameos by her current beau, Aaron Pierre, and actor LaKeith Stanfield.

“This next project with Jordan Brand and my upcoming album are examples of me pushing the creative process to make something new and even more beautiful,” said Taylor. “The wins hit different when you rose from the concrete.”

Rolling Stone reported that the singer took to the stage in Los Angeles to perform for the first time at the BET Awards after releasing her latest single, Long Time. She’s returning after a five-year hiatus. The Escape Room album will be her first album release since 2020’s The Album.

The Harlem native was recently honored in her hometown when she received The Apollo Theater’s inaugural Innovator Award.

“Growing up in Harlem, the Apollo has always been a source of inspiration and Black excellence,” Taylor said in a written statement. “Being honored in my hometown by this iconic institution is beyond anything I could have dreamed.”

Police Imposter On The Loose: Man Robs Business While Posing As Cop In Philadelphia

The suspect robbed a auto repair shop of $1000 after tying a woman up

Philadelphia police officers are looking for a man who posed as a law enforcement official and tied a woman up, robbed the business, and was able to get away before officers arrived on the scene.

The Philadelphia Police Department has released photos of the thief and the white van that left the business June 8. They are requesting information from anyone who may know the person’s identity or have any knowledge of the crime.

The incident occurred at a Mayfair auto repair shop, according to KYW Newsradio, at 2:11 p.m. The suspect entered the business wearing a black long-sleeved shirt, gloves, a black tactical vest with the inscription “Security Enforcement Agent,” and dark green cargo pants. He was also wearing a black baseball cap embroidered with a United States flag, impersonating a law enforcement officer when he approached the woman before using zip ties to restrict her wrists.

While the 50-year-old woman was tied up, the suspect took around $1,000 in cash and left the shop in a white Ford E-250 van. The van is described as having tinted windows; however, it lacked windows in the back and had a padlock on both the rear and passenger-side cargo doors. The vehicle also had red dashes painted around the van.

Police officers responded to a report of a robbery in progress, but the suspect had already gotten away by the time officers arrived at 4:43 p.m.

The police department is seeking assistance in identifying the perpetrator. No arrests have been made, and the thief has not been identified as officials continue their search for the suspect.

Philadelphia police are asking anyone with information about this incident to contact Northeast Detectives at 215-685-3153. People can also submit anonymous tips through the PPD tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477), as all phone calls will remain confidential.

Trump Claims If He Didn’t Send in National Guard, L.A. Would Be ‘Burning To The Ground’

Trump defended his choice to send in more National Guard troops, referencing the L.A. wildfires.

Donald Trump has asserted that Los Angeles would be “burning to the ground” if he had not sent National Guard troops to suppress the protests against the ICE raids.

The president shared his thoughts on his controversial decision to send the military to quell the demonstration, referencing the L.A. wildfires that destroyed parts of the city earlier this year.

“If I didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS’ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now, much like 25,000 houses burned to the ground in L.A. do to an incompetent Governor and Mayor,” Trump said on Truth Social, according to CNN.

In a move condemned by California Governor Gavin Newsom, Trump initially deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles. He also activated 700 Marines to head to the city to further control the protest zones. He has since authorized 2,000 more National Guard troops to be deployed to the state.

Newsom formally requested that Trump remove the troops from the area, preferring to let state law enforcement handle the situation.

“I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles County and return them to my command,” Newsome wrote. “We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.”

The news outlet also confirmed that protestors are still clashing with police. However, much of the protest has been concentrated downtown since it started over the weekend. The outer parts of the city have been relatively unaffected.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass also condemned Trump’s response.

“A test case for what happens when the federal government moves in and takes the authority away from the state or away from local government,” said Bass during a press conference. “I don’t think our city should be used for an experiment.”

Trump had warned of his plans to scale up deportation efforts. His plans resulted in ICE detaining undocumented individuals following immigration hearings, leading to the protests against the raids.

“If immigration raids had not happened here, we would not have the disorder that we did last night,” Bass told CNN’s The Situation Room, referring to the rise in violence during the protests.

Atlanta Came To Slay And Celebrate At The 2025 Original Sundresses & Seersuckers® Weekend

Atlanta Came To Slay And Celebrate At The 2025 Original Sundresses & Seersuckers® Weekend

ATL was buzzing with style.

This past weekend, Atlanta was buzzing with style, soul, and summertime sophistication as the Original Sundresses & Seersuckers® XIV weekend took over the city. Hosted by the distinguished brothers of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc., Delta Mu Mu Chapter, and produced by Commitment to Excellence, Inc., the celebration served as one of the most exciting and well-attended events this summer.

Established with the goal of gathering like-minded individuals to celebrate and support our community by supporting our youth, this year’s Sundresses and Seersuckers was a sold-out event featuring four consecutive days of fun and fellowship. From Thursday’s Meet & Greet at Suite Lounge, where the vibes were smooth and the outfits already giving, to Sunday’s Day Party that wrapped things up with one last turn-up, the entire weekend was a perfectly curated mix of connection, community, and classic ATL flavor.

On Friday, guests enjoyed The Marketplace and The PreVue, a full-day experience at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta where wellness, shopping, and joy collided. By the time Friday night’s PreQuel dress rehearsal hit Southern Exchange, the city was officially outside.

But of course, all roads led to Saturday’s main event at the Home Depot Backyard—the legendary Sundresses & Seersuckers party with a purpose. With Big Tigger holding down the mic and Quinn + Jukebox of Atlanta rocking the stage, even a brief storm couldn’t keep people away. The crowd showed up and showed out in their freshest fits, and Mayor Andre Dickens even pulled up to show love and speak to the crowd, reminding everyone that Atlanta supports events that uplift the culture and the community.

And speaking of support, this wasn’t just a good time. Proceeds from the weekend benefited the Delta Mu Mu Chapter’s impactful Black Rhinos mentorship programming, pouring directly into the next generation of Black excellence.

One of the standout activations of the evening was the Black Beverage Experience—a beautifully curated area spotlighting Black-owned spirits brands and a lineup of food trucks that kept the crowd fueled and festive well into the night.

After the main event, attendees danced into the early morning at the AfterGroove, and just when you thought the weekend was over, Sunday’s Day Party brought the energy right back to the Suite Lounge.

Stylish, soulful, and purpose-driven, the Original Sundresses & Seersuckers® weekend once again proved why it’s one of Atlanta’s most anticipated cultural experiences of the year. If you missed it, start planning for next year now because this is one tradition that keeps getting better with time.

‘God is Good:’ Jamie Foxx Delivers Emotional ‘Thanks’ To Black People For BET Ultimate Icon Award

'I say this all the time, thank you to Black people and the Black award, because this is what really counts. A lot of people think like the Oscars is the biggest thing, and we got to quit thinking like that.'

After surviving a life-threatening hospital stay a little over two years ago, comedian Jamie Foxx tearfully acknowledged his second chance in life and thanked Black people while accepting the 2025 BET Ultimate Icon Award on June 9.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the multitalented entertainer, in accepting his award, tearfully broke down and stated that he’s not gonna “turn down” his second chance after being in a coma from a health scare suffered in 2023. In April 2023, his daughter, Corinne Foxx, revealed to the world that her father had a “medical complication” that sent the Hollywood star to the hospital.

“I cannot even begin to express the love that I feel from everybody out there,” Foxx told the crowd at the awards show. “I gotta be honest, when I saw the In Memoriam, I was like, man, it could have been me. I don’t know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance, I’m not gonna turn down.”

He thanked Black people for their prayers and the support during his health issues, expressing that when he was able to perform a stand-up concert, he made sure it was in front of a Black audience.

“And I’m gonna do right in front of y’all ’cause I know a lot of times when we get on, we forget about where we come from. When I did my special, it was in front of Black people. Black people were the ones that said, ‘Man, we got you.’ Not to say that white people can’t pray either. I know that sounds weird, but y’all know what I’m saying. It’s like you guys held me down, and I don’t want to make this whole speech about that, but you can’t go through something like that and not testify.”

Foxx also acknowledged that the BET Awards were a bigger prize than the Oscar he received previously.

“I say this all the time, thank you to Black people and the Black award, because this is what really counts. A lot of people think like the Oscars is the biggest thing, and we got to quit thinking like that. And that’s coming from a person who won an Oscar, I was nominated twice, but the Icon Award is the most important award because it comes from us.”

The 25th BET Awards were held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Franks House Honored As Symbol of Black History and Resilience

The Franks House was known as a hub of Black community in the Third Ward neighborhood.

A ceremony over the weekend of June 6 in Charlotte, North Carolina, paid tribute to a stalwart piece of the city’s Black heritage: the Franks House. As one of the last surviving Black-owned homes from the once-thriving Third Ward neighborhood, the Franks House now bears an official historical marker.

City officials gathered at the United House of Prayer on Mint Street to unveil a newly made historical marker recognizing the Franks House at 305 Dunbar Street.

The home was originally purchased in 1949 by Arthur and Bessie Franks, and it quickly became a symbol of something much more impactful than just a home.

As reported by WCNC, the Charlotte home was a pulse point of the community.

The Franks’ home hosted family, friends, and neighbors each Sunday after church. Community members would gather to enjoy Bessie’s notorious hospitality and home cooking.

The home bearing the newly anointed historical marker would regularly welcome gatherings of 50 or more people.

“Sunday afternoons at the Franks’ were about more than food,” one attendee recalled. “They were about belonging.”

During the mid-20th century, Charlotte’s Third Ward was a thriving Black neighborhood characterized by its diverse businesses, churches, and strong family ties.

However, in the beginning in the 1960s, the flourishing Black community population was slowly dismantled by urban renewal projects, leading to many families being displaced.

Most of the family homes and long-standing businesses in the area disappeared, but the Franks House endured. It remained in the family for over 60 years.

Although the Franks House was officially made a historic landmark in 2022, the May 7 celebration unveiled its physical marker.

The unveiling ceremony featured speeches and was backed by music from the Horns of Glory brass band to honor the displaced Black community.

During the event, County Commissioner Mark Jerrell said, “Before you see all the bright and shiny objects, there was a thriving community here. There were businesses, churches, and families that built this neighborhood.”

Taraji P. Henson Says There Is No Smoke Between Her And Oprah

Taraji P. Henson debunks claims she is feuding with Oprah, calling the continued slander "disrespectful."

Taraji P. Henson clarifies that she and Oprah Winfrey are not feuding. 

Henson is on a press run for her new movie, Straw. While speaking with The Breakfast Club, Henson made a point to praise the former talk show host. Henson made it clear that she and Oprah are still in contact, and she has nothing but good feelings toward the billionaire. Henson believes the rumor was a targeted attack on the women’s relationship.

“Me and Oprah, I just have a love and a fondness for her,” Henson stated. “She just texted me the other day, commending me on a job well done in Straw. That was all fictitious, to draw a wedge between me and her.”

Henson thinks another purpose of the rumor was to derail The Color Purple, a fully Black ensemble film. 

“I think it was just a campaign so that this Black movie wouldn’t do well,” she said.

A rift between the women was reported during the press run for The Color Purple. Henson played the iconic “Shug Avery” in the film produced by Oprah and Tyler Perry.  

Breakfast Club host Charlamagne the God referenced the supposed tension while discussing pay disparity. 

“You know a lot of people thought you were kicking Tyler and Oprah’s back in. … When you were complaining about the pay,” he said.

Henson immediately shot down those claims. A longtime advocate for mental health through her Boris Lawrence Henderson Foundation. She reinforced her commitment to uplifting others. As her philanthropy is centered around mental health, she made clear that disparaging another woman is not in her character.

“When have you ever seen me drag another woman, particularly a Black woman, ever? I’m 10 toes down for us,” Henson said. 

Oprah has also denied rumors of bad blood between her and the Acrimony actress.

“There’s no validity to there being a thing between Taraji and I,” Winfrey told Entertainment Tonight. “Taraji will tell you herself that I’ve been the greatest champion of this film. Championing not only the behind-the-scenes projection but also everything that everybody needed.”

Now that the rumors have been debunked, Henson can continue promoting her new film. Straw is a Tyler Perry-produced drama available on Netflix.

BOMESI Summit Unites Black Media Leaders In Detroit For Growth And Legacy

Participants explored the ongoing legacy of Black-owned media while charting pathways for future sustainability.

The Black-Owned Media Equity & Sustainability Institute (BOMESI) concluded its impactful 2025 summit in Detroit this weekend, drawing a diverse assembly of Black media owners, publishers, and innovators focused on strengthening the industry’s future.

From June 6-8, at the Cambria Hotel Detroit Downtown, the conference underscored themes of “growth rooted in legacy, ownership, and the continued evolution of Black-owned media,” leveraging Detroit’s rich cultural tapestry as a backdrop.

The summit aimed to empower and equip Black-owned media platforms, recognizing their critical role in shaping narratives and fostering community. Rhonesha Byng, co-founder of BOMESI and founder/CEO of Her Agenda, alongside DéVon Christopher Johnson, co-founder of BOMESI and founder and CEO of BleuLife Media Group, championed the event as a vital gathering to “pour into the media publishers, platforms, and people shaping our future.”

Discussions spanned actionable insights for business longevity, authentic community-building, and resource sharing, with attendees engaging in expert-led panels and industry-specific workshops. Sessions delved into monetization strategies, advertising sales, audience development, and digital transformation, all tailored to address Black-owned media’s unique challenges and opportunities.

 The Detroit setting, a city renowned for its historical significance in cultivating Black excellence, from the Underground Railroad to Motown Records, provided a potent symbol for the summit’s mission to foster growth and innovation.

A key session, titled “On the other side of the rainbow: How to reach LGBTQ consumers beyond a flag,” featured Emil Wilbekin and Alex Hughes, founder and CEO of Hughes Brand Group, as speakers, offering strategies for authentic engagement with the LGBTQ consumer base. 

The conversation was expertly moderated by Giselle Phelps, CEO & founder of Grand Rising Talent, highlighting the summit’s commitment to comprehensive discussions on inclusive marketing and audience reach.

Another summit highlight was the Lunch & Awards ceremony graciously sponsored by AdGrid. This segment honored key figures who have made significant contributions to the media landscape. 

Rashad Robinson, a prominent advocate, was celebrated as an award recipient and recognized for his impactful work. “Grouchy” Greg Watkins, the insightful founder of AllHipHop/BIPOC Premium Supply Co., also received an award for his foundational efforts in Black media. 

Additionally, Brianne Boles-Marshall, the influential Diversity Media Strategy & Investment Lead at GM, was honored, underscoring the summit’s commitment to acknowledging leaders across diverse facets of the industry.

Participants explored the ongoing legacy of Black-owned media while charting pathways for future sustainability. The event also highlighted the continuing efforts of initiatives like the BOMESI Accelerator, which works to position Black-owned media companies for sustainable business with major advertisers, bridging gaps in infrastructure and access to capital. 

The collective energy and shared commitment underscored a powerful vision for a more inclusive and representative media landscape, reinforcing the indispensable voice of Black-owned platforms today.

Carla Hayden Speaks Out After Sudden Termination From Library Of Congress Post

The Trump administration credited Hayden's removal to her alleged role in making "inappropriate books" accessible to kids.

Dr. Carla Hayden, the first woman and Black person to serve as Librarian of Congress, is speaking out after being abruptly dismissed from her position May 8. Initially appointed by President Barack Obama in 2016, Hayden was nearing the end of her 10-year term when she received an unexpected email at the behest of the Trump administration last month informing her that her tenure had been “terminated effective immediately.”

“I was never notified beforehand, and after,” Hayden said in an interview with CBS News. “No one has talked to me directly at all from the White House.”


“It just started with ‘Carla,” she recalled the message that informed her of her termination. “I received no phone call, no conversation–nothing from the White House,” she told the outlet.

Hayden clarified that she has personally never had any conflict with the Trump administration, which made the move even more surprising.

“I don’t think it was personal,” Hayden said.

The Trump administration’s White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later explained that the reason behind Hayden’s firing was that she allegedly “did not fit the needs of the American people.”

The White House claimed her abrupt removal was tied to concerns about her support for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and her alleged role in making “inappropriate books” accessible to children.

The reasoning left Hayden even more astonished, as she clarified that the Library of Congress does not function as a public lending library.

“I was concerned there might be a lack of understanding about what the Library actually does,” Hayden expressed.

“It’s been puzzling in many ways to think about being ‘inclusive’ as a negative.”

Hayden’s removal has ignited backlash across the literary and academic communities.

Supporters gathered at Washington, D.C.’s Martin Luther King Jr. Library following the news, where author Kwame Alexander told the crowd, “The firing of our distinguished, esteemed Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, makes it clear to us that the freedom to read, the freedom to learn, the freedom to express ourselves is under attack.”

For Hayden, the overwhelming support has been moving. “It’s so humbling to have that outpouring,” she said. “But what is really, I think, part of this feeling is that it’s part of a larger-seeming effort to diminish opportunities for the general public to have free access to information and inspiration.”

This most recent move by the Trump administration is being viewed as part of a broader effort by President Trump to remake the cultural makeup of institutions, especially surrounding DEI initiatives.
