They say not to bite the hand that feeds you. But Kailyn Lowry doesn't care at this point. She just opened up her mouth and took a giant chomp. Why is she so angry at MTV? What did producers recently ask Kailyn to do? And how does this relate to Lowry's recent nude photo shoot ? SCROLL DOWN TO FIND OUT! 1. Let’s Get Right To It, Shall We? On Sunday, March 24, Lowry gave Twitter users a peek behind the scenes; at not just her life, but at the filming of Teen Mom 2. 2. Teen Mom 2 is Currently Filming New Episodes What you see on the air is always several weeks old, which can be an unusual circumstance because these cast members share so much of their loves in real time with fans. We basically know the outcome of storylines before they take place. 3. But What About Rejected Storylines? This would be the basis of Kailyn’s latest rant. We’ll let her explain from here… 4. Grab a Napkin, Folks Because Lowry opened her run of messages by saying she was preparing to “spill tea” about Teen Mom 2 “filming.” Intriguing, right?!? 5.

Source: Walter McBride / Getty We all knew that Lupita Nyong’o was a star from the moment she stepped on the scene — but her latest role as Adelaide Wilson in Jordan Peele’s ‘US’ has definitely solidified that fact. “Lupita is so good in US. I can’t stop thinking about it”- @DreamHampton The Oscar winning actress is so good at what she does, it’s hard to believe that “US’ is the first film with her as the lead. “Thinking about Us & how it’s Lupita’s FIRST film w/ her as the lead. Lupita is an Oscar winner & it has me thinking about how, if it weren’t for Ryan Coogler & Jordan Peele (both relatively NEW filmmakers) she might not have had these opportunities.”- @ReaganGomez It’s no question that Lupita’s skills as an actress are impeccable, and the fact that she can pull off any look doesn’t hurt either. “I dont want to sound hyperbolic, but the only thing worth living for right now is every press tour look that Lupita Nyong’o has blessed us with.”-@jarrettsays “The fact that @Lupita_Nyongo is so amazingly gorgeous but still managed to creep me out in US..brilliant”. @Angelica_Idalia Besides being phenomenal at what she does and being easy on the eyes, her intelligence, talent and creativity is what truly makes her a star. “I have so many questions about US, but what I’m not questioning is, Lupita’s talent. Good lord”- @thewordbanks Lupita is a breath of fresh air and great role model for young Black girls to have in a world where they’re extremely unrepresented. “Anyways Lupita Nyong’o is so damn gorgeous even as a f***ing scary clone murderer. Talent & beauty people !!!!”-@DigitalBlath Her striking appearance is just the icing on the Black Girl Magic cake. “And what my mother meant when she said you can’t eat beauty was that you can’t rely on how you look to sustain you. What is fundamentally beautiful is compassion for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.”- Lupita Nyong’o With a beauty like hers, it’s hard to pick all the times she looked like a walking Barbie doll. so we narrowed it down to 15. Hit the flip for some brilliant, Black beauty.

Apparently my “tweets” were not appropriate for the twitter community…. Despite having been on twitter since the beginning… Despite having no followers on twitter after bing on twitter since the beginning… Despite people posting the most insane shit all day, every day….from their assholes getting licked to racist shit… Yet I am the one targeted and suspended off the platform… This has happened to me on EVERY social media account, except twitter…until today. Which always is confusing to me, because everyone else posts way much fucking worse. The things I tweeted that got me suspended weren’t bad, weren’t racist, weren’t even funny. Maybe it’s cuz I said something about Trans being a myth….because they are still men with their dicks cut off….maybe it was asking that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about her tits… Either way….it’s PG-13 commentary at best… I could be way worse, people are way worse…yet here I am suspended…. The world is fucking nuts. I’ve been a victim of censorship for so long and I’m not even that bad…It’s just weird when you look at what else is out there not getting censored, and you think “well why did I get deleted when people do way worse”…. I’ve always hated social media, I’ve always felt it was evil corporations censoring the thoughts of the people…not allowing original thought, disguised as this fun and stupid game…. But we are in a time where we don’t exist without social media, so the evil corporations can just erase you. I am not delusional, I’m back burner of the internet, the site never went viral and no one cares about it. I do not think that I am a target from the evil empire out there. I am well aware that I barely exist and that no one reads or cares about this site. I just don’t understand why I get flagged and suspended and deleted….when people are way worse. I will never get that answer….but the world is fucking nuts. The post Shut Down By Twitter of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
Source: Jonathan Leibson / Getty Big Boy Drops Some Major Gems On No Jumper Big Boy has been a radio legend in Los Angeles for the past 25 years, and earlier this week, he was the one being interviewed when he stopped by No Jumper to chop it up with Adam22. While in the hot seat, Big talked about his career as a bodyguard before working in radio, his relationship with Tupac, and the lawsuit his old radio station slapped on him. If you’re a from LA or you’re a fan of hip hop at all, this interview is a must-see.
T hree days out of the week Amantina Sosa would wake up before the sun rose to prepare for an early morning shift at Starbucks. Following her barista shift Sosa—a Bronx native—would hop on the train and rush from the Midtown Starbucks location to Harlem to participate in a tech and entrepreneurship program designed for underserved adults. Prior to getting involved with the program, she says she would have never considered pursuing a career in tech, and now she’s on a path to creating her own app. “I didn’t think that I could pursue tech as a career,” she said. “This program made me see that tech wasn’t something that was far in reach.” For Sosa, the early mornings and long days were worth it because she knew she was investing in her future. Like Sosa, many underserved young adults in New York City, have struggled to forge their own paths due to the lack of access and exposure to career readiness resources. Disrupt Harlem Code Squad—a Harlem-based free 16-week program designed to empower adults between the ages of 18 and 24 to step into entrepreneurship and expose them to career pathways in tech—is aiming to change that narrative. Participants learn how to code, experience what it’s like to work at tech companies first-hand through field trips, and receive ongoing mentorship from tech leaders and entrepreneurs. Students are placed on teams and work on creating their own digital projects which are presented before a panel of judges on Demo Day. The program has proven to be nothing short of impactful. A lot of the participants in the 2018 cohort say that being a part of Disrupt Harlem has given them a strong sense of purpose and inspired them to further their entrepreneurial endeavors. For many of the students representation was key; seeing themselves reflected in their instructors and mentors had a positive influence. “It really showed me that technology is a driving force in everything,” said participant Aniya Carter . Carter, a recent college grad, has always had a passion for entrepreneurship and says that Disrupt Harlem Code Squad provided her with the foundation to build her own business. For her Demo Day project, she created a platform called Jigsaw which helps connect job seekers and employers. “It was a great experience. It was encouraging to see that everyone looked like me. It was run by Black people and the students were Black which was motivating.” Like Carter, program participant Mark Farrel hopes to be at the helm of his own business within the next few years. Farrel—who worked at Bloomingdale’s while participating in Disrupt Harlem Code Squad—has always been passionate about pursuing a career in fashion. The Harlemite says the program has shown him how he can merge fashion and technology. “It became my safe haven. Prior to this, I didn’t have a support system,” Farrel told NewsOne. “It caters to individuals who aren’t taking the traditional educational route. It showed me how I can disrupt the fashion industry through technology.” Farrel and his team created an app called CopIt which gives you details about a piece of clothing by taking a photo. He says he wants to continue to learn more about front-end and back-end development and hopes to become an app developer in the future. There is a need for culturally sensitive entrepreneurship and tech education programs for young adults in inner-city communities. Ones that are understanding of the daily struggles that they face and can provide guidance and show them how to overcome them. “DHCS provides a holistic approach to educating young adults. We don’t just teach the tech skills needed to enter the industry, but also what’s traditionally considered soft skills. Things like emotional intelligence and networking are key in developing a successful career,” said Program Director Philomena Boateng . “Over the course of the program, our students have grown as not only entrepreneurs and tech professionals. We often say our network is our net worth and they’ve truly taken steps to meet new people and jumpstart their careers.” DHCS is gearing up for its next cohort and plans on continuing to make an impact in the lives of young adults of color in New York City.
