Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Michelle Obama & Oprah Named In Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women List

Yeah We Run This World!… Fist Lady Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Bey were amongst the top ranks on Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women List! Forbes released its annual 100 Most Powerful Women list, and of course, Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé made the cut. These talented women came in at seven, 11 and 32, respectively. The list also named some very important women who don’t always get the proper spotlight — like CEO of Xerox Ursula Burns, who came in at 17, CEO of the Humanitarian Organization (CARE) Helene Gayle at 52, Executive Director of the United Nation’s World Food Programme Ertharin Cousin at 69, Malawian President Joyce Banda at 71, Nigerian Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonko-Iweala at 81 and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf at 82. The list also saw rankings from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Jennifer Lopez and Diane Von Furstenberg. German Chancellor Angela Merkel was named the most powerful woman in the world for the second year in a row. She’s known as the “Iron Lady” and is as a key player in rebuilding Europe’s failing economic structure. Kudos to all the ladies who make a tremendous difference in our world. We have to give props to all of the women who made the cut on this one. They’re all doing some pretty dope isht! Source Images via WENN/Facebook

A “Lil Positivity”: 50 Cent Partnering With African Entrepreneurs To Help Build Their Wealth

Fiddy’s giving back again in a big way. The rapper/actor/businessman has already partnered with the World Food Program by donating portions of Street King’s revenues to help feed starving children in Africa and now, he’s taking things a step further. “Giving back to hungry children with every shot we sell is only part of the story. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel across Africa, and one thing I’ve learned is that it is filled with vibrant, young entrepreneurs who are eager to cultivate a sustainable business sector that will fuel growth for their future. That’s why I’m giving African entrepreneurs the chance to bring SK to their country,” 50 wrote in a statement. His aim? Partner with entrepreneurs across Africa to not only introduce Street King to a vibrant market, but help others grow their businesses as well. And with Africa leading the way with six of the world’s fastest growing economies, 50’s aims are not only admirable, but they’re good business as well. “I’ve had so much interest coming from Africa since I’ve launched SK. That’s why I’m opening up submissions to entrepreneurs across the continent to become distribution partners.” According to AllAfrica.com, 50 recently visited Kenya, where he spent time visiting schools across the nation. “Everyone thought that we would expand immediately to Europe or South America. But if you know SK, you know the vision has always been to support my roots in Africa.” This is the type of positive press Fiddy needs to get more of. We hope this incentive sparks other businesses to step forward and help out on the one continent that needs our support the most. Source Images via Twitter/WENN
