I’m An African Eldest Daughter — Is This Why I’m A “Giver” In Relationships?
“You have to be a certain type of person to date a first-born daughter,” says Tobi Naomi in a video posted to TikTok. It’s one of many conversations on the app centered around first-born daughters and how the First Daughter Syndrome affects different aspects of their lives, particularly their relationships and love lives. Going further Tobi Naomi shares, “Being a firstborn daughter is not for the faint of heart; but so is anyone who dates a first-born daughter… I strongly believe that any...
Issa Rae Brings Viarae, Vibes (& Jokes!) To Broccoli City Festival
Who said Broccoli City Festival was just for the music? To be fair, the annual festival brought out an amazing lineup of artists, stars, and standout performances this past weekend in Washington, D.C., but the festival was made that much sweeter with a touch of bubbly, courtesy of Issa Rae’s very own Prosecco brand, Viarae. The brand invited guests into a summer oasis for the weekend, filled with botanical vibes, community fellowship, gorgeous bartenders on tap, and of course, flo...
Simone Biles Is Making Olympic History. Enough About Her Hair
The 2024 Paris Olympics are swiftly underway, and Team USA athletes have medaled across various sporting events. On Tuesday, the U.S. women’s gymnastics team reclaimed their Olympic throne in the team final with the help of Simone Biles. Biles and her teammates Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera’s stellar, gravity-defying performances won them a gold medal. Known for revolutionizing the sport (which includes five signature gymnastics moves named after her), Biles is o...
Our Breakup Was Amicable, So Why Couldn’t I Stay Friends With My Ex?
“We still think the absolute world of each other, we still care and respect each other… we are still friends and will always be friends…” reads Maya Jama and Stormzy’s recent breakup announcement, posted to Instagram earlier this month. It was a masterclass in classy, amicable celebrity breakup posts, even though it was a bit sad for those of us who’ve been over-invested in their relationship. Like many other X users, I was struck by the friendly and jovial tone of the announcement; they ...
“You Can Thirst, But She’s Drinking.” Adrian Holmes On His IRL Black Love & Bel-Air’s Sexiest Sea...
If there was anyone most fans were thirsting after from The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, it was probably Will Smith – the character and the actor. Maybe Hilary and Ashley Banks were close seconds and Carlton a distant third in the rankings (even Jazz has stans). James Avery’s Uncle Phil, while beloved (and handsome!) was barely on our thirst radars. Original recipe Uncle Phil was a family man, prone to protective outbursts while somehow always remaining a beacon of strength and love. The Uncle Ph...
Simone Biles’ Rising Shows How Much Black Women Athletes Need Each Other
Simone Biles is poised to be a major draw for viewers at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris. But the new Netflix documentary, Simone Biles: Rising, goes beyond the feats that cemented her as a gymnastic legend. It explores the pressure she has performed under, the personal challenges she has overcome, and offers a glimpse into the demanding realities of life as an elite athlete. The two-part documentary analyses Biles’ decision to prioritize her mental and physical health by withdrawing f...

The WNBA Has Brought Lesbian Lust Mainstream. Now What?
Two of my closest friends are obsessed with women’s basketball, which is maybe not a surprise because, well, we’re gay. And I don’t mean that we’re gay in the broadly defined way that we have romantic relationships with women (though that’s true), I mean we are gay in the ways that we have an encyclopedic, all-consuming gay interest in the pop culture we take in and the jokes we make. Our interests are g-a-y. It’s a long standing joke that queer women love sports, but I’ve always enjoyed the ...
Wait, Is The Thirst Trap Dead?
A shirtless and sweaty gym selfie in front of a dirty mirror. A string bikini pic and an extremely arched back. Squats and a very, very low camera angle. Anything Megan Thee Stallion posts. You get the picture (literally). We all know a thirst trap when we see one. You may have taken one. I most definitely have. There was a peak era of Instagram and Snapchat (I would guess around 2018) when it felt like everyone knew how to be hot. Or at the very least the hottest version of themselves. Takin...
Kamala Harris Can Win. Stop Saying She’s “Unelectable.”
In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter) that sent shockwaves through our timelines Sunday, President Biden ended his second presidential campaign citing that “it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term.” I know everyone is tired of living through unprecedented times, but I can’t begin to underscore how monumental this decision was, coming a mere month before the Dem...
Forget “Icks,” Here Are Our Oddly Specific Turn-Ons
“Icks” are all over the internet. What turns us off — that inexplicable and sudden feeling of disgust and cringe — has taken up plenty of real estate on TikTok. If you search the word on the app, you’ll find lists and lists of things people say are unexpected dealbreakers in dating, like “ankle socks” or “fake laughing” or “ordering a steak well done” or “pushing a door that you’re supposed to pull.” Some icks are obvious (bad tipper), others are more particular (when a man is holding an umbr...

Kerry Washington Compares UnPrisoned’s Paige To Scandal’s Olivia Pope: “She’s Crazier!”
Paige Alexander is fine. The main character of Hulu’s UnPrisoned, played by Kerry Washington, is a single mother now living with her teen son (Faly Rakotohavana) and her dad (Delroy Lindo) who is fresh out of prison. In Season 1, she also started dating her dad’s parole officer (Marque Richardson). It’s a complicated situation, but she’s fine. Of course, “FINE” according to Paige stands for Fucked Up, Insecure, Neurotic, and Emotional. That acronym accurately sums up Paige, but it could e...
Stormzy & Maya Jama Just Gave A Masterclass In Celeb Breakup Announcements
It’s the end of an era for fans who were rooting for a happy ending to Stormzy and Maya Jama’s love story.

After several years in an on-and-off relationship, the pair were only a few weeks shy of making it to the one-year anniversary of their reunion in August 2023. Celebrity breakup announcements are usually boring or explosive, but for Stormzy and Jama, it wa...
