#NABJ19 Karlie Redd Talks Her Zane-Approved Smithereen Smashing Novel, $300K Sex Toy Deal

Source: WENN.com / WENN Karlie Redd Tells BOSSIP About Her Book, Sex Toy Line During the 2019 National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Conference BOSSIP ran into a familiar face. Karlie Redd was on hand for the Author Showcase where she was promoting her new novel “EVEn Exchange.” Unbeknownst to many, Karlie wrote the fiction book back in college and always dreamt of having it read by “Sex Chronicles” author Zane. Fast forward to present day and the famed author’s given Karlie her blessing, not only EDITING it and PUBLISHING it but calling the book that dropped in July a “poignant, cautionary tale.” It’s filled with of course of steamy sex scenes, but also tells the story of a woman named Eve who takes back her power after she seduced by a rich man with a scandalous secret. Each chapter is about Eve finally getting revenge after she’s messily manipulated. According to Karlie, she was shocked when Zane agreed to take on the book and she couldn’t be happier with the end result.

Thanks To My Team @planetzane & @araitjusticebooks Glam Hair @rare_billions MUA @bbeautifulwoman Dress Sold At MERCI www.merciyou.com A post shared by KarlieRedd (@iamkarlieredd) on Jul 26, 2019 at 10:18am PDT “What I gave her had like ripped pages, it was a journal, a notebook and she took it and said, “I’m gonna edit this and when I come back I’ll publish it for you. Dreams do come true! I’m officially an author, I’m at NABJ!” She also told BOSSIP all about her new Doc Johnson sex toy deal. As previously reported Karlie raked in $300,000 to replicate her a$$ets and seasoned lady bits for pleasure products that “feel like the real thing.” According to Karlie who’s a certified sexologist her toys are all about inclusivity and she thinks women, black women, in particular, should proudly own their sexuality. “I sell all toys for the guys and the girls,” said Karlie. “I got your pocket rockets, your dildos—everything! We especially as black women I feel like we shy away from owning our sexuality whereas men—I seen something today where Blueface said he sex with 1,000 women. So why as women we can’t say, “This is how you suck d***. Lemme teach you so we can have one up.” She also told BOSSIP her top sex tips for women and encouraged women to kegel so they can have “wet sex”. She also stressed the importance of checking the osmolality of lubricants while getting smashed to smithereens. “Be careful of the lubricants that you use, make sure the lubricants are around 285 osmolality.” The certified sexologist is right, lubes with at least a 285 osmolality prevent vaginal dryness as they have the same hydration levels as the cells of vaginal tissue—major key. If you want more sex tips from Karlie Redd, she’s traveling the country teaching sex-courses, check out her social media pages for more info. Will YOU be buying Karlie’s book and sex toys???

Recap: BOSSIP Writers Detail How To Smash The Internet To Smithereens With #NABJ19 Headline Writing Working Shop

Source: BOSSIP / NABJ19 Recap: Bossip Staff Takes On #NABJ19 We’re happy to report that BOSSIP was especially present for NABJ this past week , hosting our own workshop on comprising the viral headline! The convention for The National Association of Black Journalists or NABJ kicks off every year for journalists, students, and media-related professionals. There, folks learn firsthand key strategies in media, socialize professionally, and seek career opportunities. This year it took place in sunny & humid Miami, Florida. Source: @AieshaArab / IG The workshop was hosted by BOSSIP’s deputy editor Danielle Canada who emceed a panel of our viral headline experts on staff, including senior editor Jennifer H. Cunningham, Aiesha Letman (myself), Jason Lee and, Alex Ford. Bruce Wright, managing editor of our fellow Interactive One site News One was also there to assist. In the workshop, our writers were asked the FAQs behind the manufacturing of a standout headline, regardless of the voice of the publication. Attendees learned about the importance of headline writing as it pertains to ideation and creating viral moments. And…when is a headline too far? Jason Lee was there to assist with the latter. Of course, this question was directed at our site, specifically.  So, how do we not “cross the line”? What is offensive or ‘racist’ to white folks? Jason says, ‘As far as (mayo), aioli and those sort of things…if white people are offended by certain things, then that’s fine but the dynamic is different. We are a Black site, we are Black people, normally we’re the oppressed people. So, if the worst you have to deal is being called a ‘mayo-packet’ behind somebody who did something racist, something stupid, then in my mind, you kinda have to chalk that.’ New One’s Bruce Wright had an important point to add, saying: ‘I don’t think we should only single out Black media for doing what the original media created and is still doing on now.’ Alex Ford probably in one short sentence gave the crux of what you need to create a viral moment. ‘We’re not just writing these headlines for you to just see them and laugh. If you read some of the posts, their actually well-written, comedically. Also, your use of language. Find that one word that represents what you’re trying to say. Word choice is important. ‘ BOSSIP is proud to be a completely unique voice at the intersection of Black culture, entertainment, and political-awareness. We would like to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who came to check us out at NABJ19. We hope to meet you again!

Ex-NBA Player Sebastian Telfair Sentenced To 3.5 Years in Prison

The rest is here:

Source: Star Tribune via Getty Images / Getty How the mighty have fallen. Sebastian Telfair, once a star prep basketball player and eventually an NBA talent (he was drafted right out of high school), just got sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison for gun charges. However, if you’ve been paying attention, this destiny was inevitable. Telfair was initially arrested in 2017 after police discovered guns in the car and another man were parked in illegally. According to Bleacher Report , Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced today (August 12) that Telfair caught the three-and-a-half year bid for gun possession. Back in April, it was reported that Telfair’s trial was nothing short of a circus. His estranged wife, and mistress, took the stand to drop dime on him while his sister basically threatened the former with the fade. In fact, Telfair’s sister was arrested by the FBI due to said threats a month later. Telfair would be eventually convicted of felony criminal possession of a weapon , and now he has learned his fate. Cold world. But at least it wasn’t the 15 years he could have been hit with.

Jay Smith: Get to Know His Mistress-Turned-Girlfriend, Kayla O’Brien

It's been maybe a week since notorious 90 Day Fiance cheater Jay Smith went Instagram official with his girlfriend . But fans don't really know much about Kayla O'Brien, except that she was Jay's mistress for months before Ashley found out and dumped Jay. Rumors — some of them pretty outlandish — have circulated, and some aren't sure what to believe. Here's everything that we know about Kayla.   1. Kayla is Jay’s girlfriend It was obvious for a while, but finally confirmed when they went “Instagram official,” uploading photos of themselves together for the first time early this month. 2. How long have they been dating? Since January. On January 11, Ashley filed to divorce Jay over his barbershop bang. On January 22, she took him back after he rushed to her side when she was hospitalized with kidney failure. They vowed to make it work … but clearly, Jay’s words were hollow. 3. When did the public learn her name? When Jay turned himself in on July 3 and went into ICE custody for violating a Protection From Abuse order, it was Kayla who took the reigns of his social media — and who started a GoFundMe account. She used her own name … but only referred to herself as “Jay’s friend.” 4. And she greeted him when he got out Ultimately, it wasn’t her GoFundMe but Jay’s boss who bailed him out, but clearly, they were happy to see each other. 5. Is she pregnant? Ashley Martson started a rumor in a recent interview, saying: “From what I saw at court she could’ve been expecting. So if I sign [for him] I would be responsible for paying his child support. No way in hell am I going to put my name on that line. There’s no way.” 6. No That rumor has been debunked — in part by recent photos of Kayla looking not pregnant and also drinking. View Slideshow
