But 97.9 The Beat’s Dee “lilD” Porter’s rise to fame on the radio airwaves was anything but smooth. The Dallas, TX radio personality, who endured poverty and homelessness in her quest for success on the air, has written about her struggle to succeed on the radio in her new memoir, “Route 2,” which is out this week. In it, the Louisiana native and self-proclaimed “Mouth of the South” recalls the three months she spent homeless and working two jobs in order to break into radio. The book, out Oct. 10, includes a forward from “The Breakfast Club” host Charlemagne Tha God and chronicles her grinding for low wages, going hungry and struggling to fill her car with gas for the two hour trip for her part-time radio gig. lilD said she promised herself that if she made it, she would write about her experience to help others. Source: Shutter King Images @shutterkingimages / Shutter King Images @shutterkingimages “It was a Wednesday and I was sitting in that motel room,” lilD recalled in a recent interview with BOSSIP. “I knew I wasn’t going to eat until Friday, and I thought if I make it through this…I realized that so many people are going through a struggle right now. I want them to know that this isn’t the end of the road, it’s the beginning.” lilD said she hopes the book will show readers the real deal about breaking into the radio industry while illustrating that people coming into it can be successful if they are willing to work hard and stick it out. “I want people to get a realistic vibe,” she said. “This industry is very tough. You don’t just come in one day, be a jock and make $80,000.” But “I want them to understand that if you believe in yourself, the risk will pay off.” She also hopes that “Route 2” will help counter the stigma around homelessness. “Your co-workers could be homeless, because I was and nobody knew,” lilD said. “Homelessness isn’t just that you chose to smoke your rent away. Homelessness has a face and it was my face at some point…You never know what’s going on.”

Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty While promoting her anticipated children’s book, Sulwe , Oscar winner lupita nyong’o dropped some serious nuggets about colorism . When talking to BBC Newsnight on Monday (October 7) about the concept of her book, which centers on a Black girl who has darker skin than her family, Lupita shared her own personal experiences. “I definitely grew up feeling uncomfortable with my skin color because I felt like the world around me awarded lighter skin,” the Black Panther and Little Monsters star told host Emily Maitlis. Adding that said her lighter-skinned younger sister was called “beautiful” and “pretty,’ adding “Self-consciously that translates into: ‘I’m not worthy.’” Most importantly, she stressed that colorism “is the daughter of racism” in “a world that rewards lighter skin over darker skin.” Take a look: While colorism is an extension of racism and white standards of beauty that have been force-fed to us (hence, her being told that she was “too dark” during an audition), Lupita is stating nothing but facts when she says that Black folks have also internalized this hate. “We still ascribe to these notions of Eurocentric standards of beauty, that then affect how we see ourselves among ourselves,” she said. She’s absolutely right because the lens we view ourselves through doesn’t always reflect the reality of our infinite beauty. It’s society’s own initial reception of Lupita’s beauty that truly woke me up to how dangerous and irrational colorism is in our community. Back in 2012, when Lupita first came on the scene playing Patsy in 12 Years A Slave and how instantly inamoured Hollywood became with her—as was I. Whether it was her slaying the red carpet or being named People’s Most Beautiful Person, people couldn’t get enough of this new It-Girl. And yet, while this was happening in the “mainstream” world, it felt as is some Black folks had a different take on her fame. On the blogs, Twitter and Facebook, even the “wokest” folks expressed this fake concern about Lupita being overexposed and worry that she was being eroticized and fetishized by white folks. Even worse, there was this widespread belief that white folks were only praising her beauty (and dark skin) to somehow make fun of Black folks. Quite honestly, it’s pretty damn pathological. When white people praise light-skinned Black women like Beyonce or Tessa Thompson or the countless other beige-looking starlets, we wouldn’t bat an eye or question their motives because light-skinned and racial ambiguity is the standard of beauty. It’s what has been forced down our throats and we accept it. But when that same shine was focused on Lupita, it invoked something in us. It was an internalized disbelief that white folks could never find Lupita beautiful because we didn’t (well y’all, ’cause she’s the baddest woman on the planet to me). It was if her mocha skin and short tight 4c afro should never rock the cover of Vogue because we actually believed it wasn’t worthy because that’s what white folks had been telling us…and believed it. Somehow we were flipping this to say and do everything except admit we were the ones having a problem. Self-hate is a helluva drug. Granted, it’s been years since that all went down and things are slowly getting better, but colorism and disdain for darker-skinned Black women is still as persistent and pervasive as ever. Just look on Twitter, the ‘Gram or any other pocket of Black culture, there are examples of how our darker-skinned sistas are mistreated, ignored and verbally berated for the melanin. Even our favorite Black Hollywood gatekeepers continue to push this narrative by casting mostly lighter-skinned starlets in roles (especially as love interests), pushing out the chocolate sistas who are equally if not more talented. So say what you want, but all of this is happening on our watch by our own hands. While colorism may be the daughter of racism, it’s also the sister of internalized racism. The real question is what are we as Black people going to do to stop it? BEAUTIES: What are your thoughts on colorism in Black America?

HAILEY BALDWIN and her new husband that she has been married to for over a year, but who they decided to remarry a few weeks ago, because they are young and rich and religious, while trying to connect with GOD, while connecting their genitals are in the new Calvin Klein campaign, being slutty for Jesus, because Jesus absolves all sins RIGHT…that’s the story anyway. I don’t buy that any entitled cunt like Baldwin or Bieber has any ounce of religious beliefs, or even spirituality. It’s obviously that they are empty rich kids with no real self identity…one a low level celeb loser’s daughter, the other some Canadian sold to the industry at a young age, likely raped in some capacity while earning all that money, when dude was probably happy just hanging out at home having a normal childhood…before being sold o youtube at a young age…like some kind of boy icon Hailey Beiber had her first sexual sex with, and likely jacked off to after bible study her dad forced her into – cuz he’s a recovering addict and we know how all of those are. What I am getting at is this is an ad they did for CK, to be relevant, looking like silly slutty sexual pervert fucks, despite their fake religiousness but I guess marrying Bieber’s done big things for Hailey and this is it….

Gwyneth Paltrow topless at 47 years old as if anyone asked for that..ever..

Seven? Right Seven…that was a good one…but that was only because back then she hadn’t decided that being a mommy blogger influencer to guide her minions into steamed pussy salvation and whatever other nonsense health tits she’s given….like she’s Joe Rogan podcast, but instead of bros, she’s catering to 40 year olds…and now as their leader she is topless in a weird way because it’s good for the brand..I guess?! Fucking weirdos. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Gwyneth Paltrow Topless of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Speaking of Nostalgia, or OLD FUCKING 90s sluts who haven’t got the hint, because BOTOX makes them feel like they are still young and vibrant or worth looking at in slut poses….here’s Gwen Stefani out there marketing some shit like she’s J.Lo. Sure the masculine Orange County singer, is not doing the Kardashian bullshit in influencer style outfits, and is out here in some boring fucking shoot….but it’s still not age approriate cuz these bitches can’t take a hint. You give them 100 million dollars and a huge career when they are younger and they think that shit is forever… I like the mom squat like she’s giving hippie birth / taking a shit since she’s too old to get knocked up again…if she’s even got a vagina….based on her ABS in that Don’T Speak video – who can tell.

Someone wrote in the comments something Like “I’ll have what she’s cooking”….because her name is Rachel Cook and she’s hot…and I think that’s about all we need to say about Rachel Cook, because the only thing she does or is capable of, or is known for, but barely known for, besides stealing the Rachel Cook name, is that she gets naked for concept shoots that aren’t high concept shoots, but that are concept shoots regardless…even though you can find thousands of this vibe across every aspiring influencer out there. No different but I’ll still encourage her. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Rachel Cook Naked Again of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
