The mother daughter duo went to the Strand bookstore in New York City to talk about their book, and while there Tyra Banks talked to TicToc about gender pay gap, and how women can do their best to receive the pay they deserve when at a job. TicToc chatted with @TyraBanks , and she told us how to ask your boss for a raise #EqualPayDay #tictocnews pic.twitter.com/FugV5kfYQm — TicToc by Bloomberg (@tictoc) April 10, 2018 When talking about the subject, Banks explains a way hat women need to go to their bosses when asking for a raise. A lot of people might go to their bosses and plead for a raise, talking about the things they need–“I need this raise because I can’t pay my rent,” “I need this raise because I don’t have the money to do this or that,” Tyra shoots down that option, saying there’s a better way. When going to your boss for a raise, the America’s Next Top Model creator urges women to tell their bosses the reason they deserve more money, and why their bosses are the ones who NEED them, and therefore need to give them a raise. That wasn’t the only thing Tyra and her mother talked about regarding the book, either. Banks also mentions her thoughts on Kanye West , and why him being “Self-centered” is actually a good trait, because he “never dulls his shine to make anyone else feel comfortable.” “I look at him as what a lot of people need more of. Kanye never dulls his shine to make anyone feel comfortable.” Tyra Banks mentioning Kanye in her interview with @MONEY . https://t.co/8v7xT5uzXt pic.twitter.com/zOxEbzwipo — TeamKanyeDaily (@TeamKanyeDaily) April 7, 2018

Source: Scott Olson / Getty Facebook has suspended the largest Black Lives Matter page becuase it was found to be a complete fake. In a time when Facebook’s integrity as an organization is under immense scrutiny, it’s important for users to know who is behind their favorite pages. Thousands of people were scammed into making donations through a fake Black Lives Matter Facebook page that has ties to a middle-aged Australian man. CNN discovered that the page, titled Black Lives Matter, raked in at least $100,000 through online fundraisers that supposedly went to the organzation. CNN reports that the fake BLM page had about 700,000 followers, which is nearly twice the amount of followers the actual Black Lives Matter Facebook page has. After the news organization discovered the fraudulent page, Facebook took about a week to shut it down. It was only suspended after days of corresepondence with the social media website–and that only happened because it suspended the administrator’s user account. However, Facebook was informed of the issues with the fake page months ago. Patrisse Cullors, who helped to found the Black Lives Matter movement, alerted Facebook about the fake because she was concerned that it was a scam.
