She said she’s also launching her collection with PrettyLittleThing. “It’s something I worked really hard on,” she said. “The theme is a bougie, rich woman enjoying the pleasures in life and the fruits of her labor.” Asked about her own style, Saweetie said “It’s bipolar – you never know what you’re gonna get from me!” Hit the flip for more pics from the show:

SCARY: Cincinnati Football Player Suffers Seizure In The Middle Of A Play [Video]

Source: JMU Athletics Communications / JMU Athletics Communications Cincinnati Football Player Has Seizure In The Middle Of A Play College football players go out each and every weekend and put it all on the line for the promise of making it into the professional league one day–and the percentage that actually make it to the league is a lot smaller than one might think. Besides proving to be the cream of the crop as far as gameplay goes, other obstacles stand in their way that are completely out of the players’ control. For some, its tuition that holds them back because college surely isn’t cheap. For a lot of these players, it’s injuries , which happen every single week. This weekend, one player had a medical emergency that isn’t seen on the field too often. Cincinnati College’s Kyriq McDonald suffered a seizure mid-play during their blowout at the hands of Ohio State. After the game, his mother confirmed that McDonald has a history of seizures. Hopefully, he can play again, but it’s definitely not worth risking your daily abilities to play football because as we all know, the wrong hit at the wrong time could end up being detrimental. Scary moment for Cincinnati's Kyriq McDonald. He fell midplay despite not being touched and remained on the field. He was driven off the field. ESPN spoke with his mom who said he has a history of seizures. pic.twitter.com/wvMSgv5Dcr — Jordan Heck (@JordanHeckFF) September 7, 2019

Basketball Legend Lisa Leslie To Be Honored With Staples Center Statue

L egendary basketball player Lisa Leslie has broken several barriers for women in the realm of sports. The California native will be recognized in a major way for all of her accomplishments. According to Bleacher Report , she will be honored with a statue outside of the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Lisa Leslie will be honored at the Staples Center with a statue next to some of the greatest players in Lakers history https://t.co/bEYQbfV26V — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) September 5, 2019 The addition of the statue is historic as it will mark the first time that a woman athlete will have a sculpture outside of the arena. It’s undeniable that Leslie is a basketball trailblazer. She was a part of the inaugural WNBA season in 1997. During her career in the league—which lasted 12 years—she hit several milestones. Leslie was the first woman to dunk in a WNBA game and became the first player in the league to reach 6,000 career points. She has two WNBA championship titles under her belt and was named league MVP three times. She also has four Olympic gold medals. Leslie joins a prominent list of other legendary athletes who have been honored with statues outside of the Staples Center including Shaquille O’Neal , Magic Johnson , and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar . There is no word on when the statue will be unveiled. Leslie—who coaches a team in the Big3 league—says that her career moves have always been about opening doors for women in male-dominated spaces. “I always understood and respected the women who came before me. I love the fact that we have so many pioneers of the game and they get to still be a part of it,” she told Hoops Hype in an interview. “I’m always cognizant that we’re connected by a thread. And we all know what we’re capable of doing and we appreciate the opportunity to knock down doors and open doors for the other women who are coming in behind us.” News about Leslie’s statue comes shortly after a sculpture of the late legendary tennis player Althea Gibson was unveiled outside of Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, New York during the U.S. Open tennis tournament.

Spelman College Receives Grant For New STEM Center

S pelman College is furthering its efforts to invest in the futures of women of color who want to pursue careers in STEM. According to HBCU Buzz , the Atlanta-based historically Black college received funding for the creation of a science, technology, engineering and math center. Spelman Receives Funding to Establish a Center of Excellence for Minority Women in STEM https://t.co/ONzYehvLWr pic.twitter.com/L6prtVSSbp — HBCU Buzz (@HBCUBuzz) September 6, 2019 The $2 million grant—which was awarded by the Department of Defense—will be used to develop the Center of Excellence for Minority Women in STEM. After noticing a spike in the number of individuals who wanted to major in STEM, school officials decided that they needed to create more outlets to support the women in their journeys. The funds will go towards academic and professional development initiatives as well as a “Women in STEM” speaker series. “The Center aligns with the College’s strategic priorities and ensures that our students are empowered and equipped to enter competitive STEM fields,” said Spelman President Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell . “We are honored to be awarded this grant, and to have the support of the Department of Defense in assisting Spelman in fulfilling its mission to diversify STEM.” This isn’t the only STEM-related project that the HBCU has worked on this year. In May, the college announced that they were teaming up with Booking.com for the creation of a scholarship fund designed to address the gender gap in the tech industry. There has been a major effort to expand STEM education programs at HBCUs. Earlier this year, Morgan State University won a three-year, $1.6 million Aerospace Workforce and Leadership Development Grant from the nonprofit Base 11 for the creation of a state-of-the-art rocketry lab and student rocketry team.

First Degree: Murder Charged Teen Daycare Worker Allegedly Kills 4-Month-Old “Fussy” Baby On Video

Source: Delaware Police Dept. / Mugshot Daycare Worker Arrested For Suffocating 4-Month-Old Baby Tragedy has struck a family in Delaware after a Daycare worker was seen allegedly suffocating a child to death on video. 19-year-old Dejoynay Ferguson “placed her hands over the victim’s mouth and nose and intentionally restricted her breathing until she became unresponsive,” Delaware State Police said in  a statement  Friday. According to Delaware Online , the death occurred at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning and there is a surveillance video of the incident. While wearing latex gloves, Ferguson picks up the 4-month-old child by the front of her shirt and place the baby on a changing table, according to court documents. The young woman could then be seen putting her hands on the child’s face for more than three minutes. After she removed her hands, the child was “unresponsive and motionless”. She then took the child and placed her in a crib, police said. 20 minutes after the child became unresponsive, a call to police was made by the daycare owner. Initially, the worker told police that she “grabbed” the child because they became fussy, which was not seen on the video. Dejoynay Ferguson was charged with first-degree murder this week.

NFL, Roc Nation Will Donate $400K To Chicago Youth Programs, Meek Mill, Rapsody & Vic Mensa Will Visit

Link:

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz JAY-Z has been catching heat following the announcement of his partnership with the NFL. Many were quick to try and cancel Hova without letting things pan out. Slowly but surely, we are learning what Roc Nation’s involvement with the NFL’s Inspire Change initiative will bring starting with Chicago’s youth. According to TMZ , sources close to the NFL revealed the league will be donating $400,000 to 2 Chicago groups that give at-risk youth alternatives to gangs and gun violence. Meek Mill, Meghan Trainor as well as Rapsody and Vic Mensa will be visiting both of the programs that were handpicked and vetted by Roc Nation. Per TMZ : One of the groups is  BBF (Better Boys Foundation) Family Services — which, we’re told, Vic and Rapsody will visit Wednesday. Founded in the 1960s … BBF says it provides education, employment, and youth services, as well as family health programs to more than 400 families. The other group,  Crusher’s Club , says its mission is to help Chicago kids “restore their lives and improve their neighborhoods.” Meghan and Meek will be at Crusher’s on Thursday … ahead of their NFL Kickoff concert. As we reported, Meek and Meghan came on board, not just to perform the NFL Kickoff concert, but as  advocates for Inspire Change  — the league’s arm to support player and team efforts to focus on education, police and community relation and criminal justice reform. According to the celebrity gossip site, Chicago will serve as the “prototype” for future philanthropic endeavors with the NFL, Roc Nation, and Players Coalition continuing to do the same in every NFL city. Looks it’s more than just “merch” and concerts being pushed in the name of social justice. Does this change your view on Jigga man’s deal with the NFL? Or is he still on the cancellation block?

Hate Is Life: Azealia Banks Thinks Lizzo Is Making A Fool Of Herself

Source: Coachella 2015 – Week 1 – Day 1 – Performances Featuring: Azealia Banks Where: Los Angeles, California, United States When: 10 Apr 2015 Credit: WENNCHELLA/WENN.com  Lizzo has officially made it. No we are not talking about the MTV Music Awards. She is now the target of one of music’s most spiteful detractors. As spotted on Complex Azealia Banks has decided to throw her two cents on pop’s newest sweetheart. The Harlem native left a series of scathing comments aimed at Lizzo suggesting the singer is doing the jig for the man. “Lmao the fact that the public and the media has been keeping this fat girl joke going for so long is honestly peak boredom” she wrote. But wait the hate doesn’t stop there. Banks, who hasn’t had a song buzzing since 2011 with “212”, also criticized Liz’s chart topping hit “Truth Hurts” and her swag. “The song is not good, nor is the dumpy fat girl spectacle live set she does. Saddest bit is that the girl is legit talented and truly only being allowed to shine so long as she allows herself to be this millennial mammy of sorts.” She proceeded to also throw other artists under the bus and if we are reading this right puts herself in the same light as Beyoncé. “Like illiterate Cardi then fat Lizzo. They are really choosing the worst of the black womens crop to advertise America with,” she wrote. “I guess they saw us moving too fast with it because if you realize, after Beyoncé became political in ways they didn’t like the elite stopped giving her that top top spot and started cycling out these lessers like Cardi and Lizzo (even Lil Nas X trash ass buckbreak mountain anthem) giving them Beyoncé level accolades while both being no where near the level of black female excellence she is.” You can read her rant in full below.

Jennifer Aniston Boring Erotica of the Day

Jennifer Aniston reminds me of the importance of retirement. This woman makes millions a year off residuals from FRIENDS….seriously, it was that big of a show. She doesn’t need to ever work again, and yet, her ego forces her to continue to exist, instead of taking a break, focusing on her childless life, because the real narcissism isn’t coming out confident in your tits at an old age, it is saying “fuck being seen, fuck the audience and fans, I’m going to fuck off and do something for myself”….open a store, move to a small town, go off the grid, buy a hotel in some tropical location…LIVE a fucking dream.. But instead they do the actor hustle, fighting for that OSCAR or some other shit, because acting may not be actual work, but it is STILL work…that leads to polluting us with images of her oldness. No one needs to see her oldness…her oldness is why Friends residuals pay out…her fans are turning to that to see the nips…not this old lady shit. These celebs never retire, sure they barely work, it’s a joke of a job that pays way too much, but they should still go OFF camera when they look like their pussy smells like mothballs.
