Splash Throughout the years, T.I. and Tiny’s relationship has had its ups and downs. For those craving their daily dose of drama, much of it was captured on their reality show series but their most recent split looked to be the end of their marriage for good. The divorce process has been dragged out for over a year now with rumors of their split coming as early as December 2016 but, mostly by choice, Tiny has been taking her time with the proceedings. Earlier this year, it was reported that the couple was trying to work on their marriage and had delayed the divorce. A formal leave of absence was granted at the beginning of April to extend the process and now, Bossip is revealing that Tiny has filed a second leave of absence. In a divorce case that has lasted a long time, neither side seems to be rushing to finalize their split. Apparently, court documents were filed last week asking for a second leave of absence from the divorce settlement. While the reason is once again unclear, Tiny was reportedly at T.I.’s home during his arrest last week so the couple may be attempting to patch things up once and for all. Tiny once said there was no hope in getting back together with her rapper husband when she filed for divorce but from the looks of it, the two simply can’t get enough of each other.

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Super-fast wi-fi is coming to a city near you very soon thanks to Facebook and Qualcomm. Facebook back in 2016 announced Terragraph, one of two wireless systems specifically designed to help bring internet service to underserved areas. The 60GHz wireless network can push internet through buildings in the dense urban locations. Now the social media giant announced they will be teaming up with Qualcomm to make that system even more robust. In a move that will allow manufacturers to start building 60GHz broadcast equipment, Qualcomm will now put Facebook’s Terragraph technology in upcoming chipsets. The two companies expect to start running trials of the new technology sometime mid-2019. Based on 802.11ay WLAN standard technology, the two companies have managed to add some tweaks such as massive antenna arrays, channel bonding, time synchronized nodes and TDMA protocols. The new enhancements will allow signals to serve more users, navigate through obstacles found in urban settings all at a reduced upfront cost according to Facebook. The primary goal is to bring high-speed internet to areas where laying fiber would be a costly task. There is no word on whether Facebook will use the service to offer its own straight up internet service. The social media company already has a no-cost service called Free Basics which provides users Facebook and reduced web services. The service is available in over 50 nations via 81 mobile service providers. It was recently pulled from Myanmar and other countries by Facebook due to the fact fake news and propaganda were running rampant on the service. Despite their tumultuous year , looks like Facebook still has plans to be everywhere. — Photo: NurPhoto / Getty
Black women and hair loss is unfortunately a common pairing. This is largely due to the consistent reliance on weaves, wigs and braids. However, there are also many black women who suffer from forms of alopecia that don’t necessarily correlate to hair styling. On the latest episode of the Facebook talk show Red Table Talk , Jada Pinkett-Smith opened up about her frightening battle with unexpected hair loss. There was a time back in the day when hair loss was associated more with natural aging than styling, but then the widespread popularity among black women and weaves and wigs became something of a cultural phenomenon—and hair loss, traction alopecia to be exact, started to become too common. Actress Jada Pinkett-Smith recently opened up about her struggles with alopecia on the most recent episode of her new talk show Red Table Talk , with her mother and her daughter. Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about her struggle with hair loss. The actress says it was terrifying when she first noticed she was losing “handfuls of hair” in the shower, calling it “one of those times in my life when I was literally shaking with fear” https://t.co/SExCPnDSCE pic.twitter.com/iUbyq7OlCo — CNN (@CNN) May 22, 2018 During the discussion she speaks about just how fearful she was when she started to experience handfuls of her hair falling out while in the shower. She also revealed that her alopecia was the reason behind her edgy short haircut that she debuted on social media a few months ago. Pinkett-Smith has sought medical attention for her condition, but at press time she stated that the tests haven’t revealed the reason behind her hair loss, however she suspects stress may be the culprit. Hello Beautiful reported on the increasing conditions of alopecia sufferers within the black community and whether you have alopecia as a result of your hairstyling choices, a medical condition or it’s hereditary, the shame often associated with it can be worse than the condition itself. Many women become conditioned to continue to hide their hair loss because of embarrassment, especially if they suffer from traction alopecia, which is self-inflicted, in comparison to traditional alopecia. This shame accounts for a very profitable business of hair restoration products, including oils, creams, treatments and hair masks that promise to restore your hair to its crown and glory. Sure, most traction alopecia cases can fortunately be reversed, but traditional alopecia sufferers are often not so lucky—and that can be a hard pill to swallow. In a world where women are often taught to equate their beauty with the length, texture, style and color of their hair, living with alopecia can be very difficult. Jada Pinkett-Smith acknowledged this in her discussion, but she also recognized the positive in such a sensitive situation. She expressed that certain things happen as a result of a higher power and if the higher power chose for her to lose her hair, in the grand scheme of things it’s really a small price to pay when you consider the other serious issues she could be suffering from. As a woman, specifically a black woman, your journey and relationship with your hair is your own and should never be compared or contrasted to someone else. Whether you suffer from any form of alopecia, use relaxers, wear it natural or love to rock weaves and wigs—whatever choices and decisions you make should come from you and no one else. If all else fails, simply wrap your head up in a colorful scarf and be the beautiful queen you are.
