The actress and CEO of Pattern Beauty graced the cover of Essence Magazine’s October Hair Issue and literally stopped the Internet with flawless flicks from the spread. Source: Itaysha Jordan / Itaysha Jordan/ Essence Magazine In the mag, Miss Ross: The Beauty Boss gushed about the new chapter in her life as the creator and founder of her very own Hair Care Company which celebrates the different curl patterns of naturalistas all over the globe. “It’s called Pattern because it is about the magical patterns of our hair. I am launching a haircare line for curly, coily and tight, textured hair to empower people and meet the unmet needs of our community at a price point we can afford, because we know that we need a lot of product in all this hair.” But just as the case is for most women of color, it was a long, hard journey for Tracee to embrace the beauty in her Blackness. “It took me way longer than I wish it had. I’d catch glimpses of people who saw beauty in ways I had missed because of the blinders society gave me. Then one day I was watching a Nina Simone documentary and I thought: Wait. It should be her name next to the word “beauty.” Why was I sold the wrong vision? My heart knows that’s beauty.” Source: Itaysha Jordan / Itaysha Jordan/ Essence Magazine However, despite how long the journey to pride took, the Black-ish star has always been relatable and woke. “A lot of people are awake right now, and thank God. I think I’m learning. I think I’m growing. There is a war that is happening, a fight for control over women’s bodies. Children in cages. Concentration camps in our country, right now. It keeps me up at night.” We love of woke, inspiring CEO! Pattern Beauty Products are officially available for purchase at patternbeauty.com .

Source: L’Oréal Paris / L’Oréal Paris Oscar-winning actress Viola Davis is adding another achievement to her already impeccable resume: L’Oréal Paris spokesperson. On Tuesday (September 10), it was announced that the 54-year-old How to Get Away With Murder star will be the face of the company’s L’Oréal Paris’ Age Perfect line. In an interview with PEOPLE , Viola admitted that this all feels “surreal,” especially since she has never felt linked to the concepts of “beauty and femininity.” “It feels surreal,” the Emmy and Golden Globe winner recently told PEOPLE. “First of all, and you can take what I’m about to say with a grain of salt, I never thought that I could be an international spokesperson for L’Oréal. The fact that I am, it feels like my life has come full circle.” Adding, “When I thought of beauty and femininity when I was a young scrappy girl growing up in Central Falls, Rhode Island, I didn’t associate it with myself. I didn’t think that I had all those attributes that women who are seen like that should have.” Here she is, looking fresh-faced and L’Oréal ready with her natural hair and gleaming smile front and center: Source: L’Oréal Paris / L’Oréal Paris Voila’s TV, print and digital campaigns for the skincare and cosmetics company will drop at the beginning of October, and she’s amongst fantastic company, joining the likes of fellow Oscar winner Helen Miren , HTGAWM co-star Aja Naomi King and Eva Longoria to name a few. L’Oreal wrote on their official Instagram page that Viola is a ‘force to be reckoned with.” “Viola Davis is an #unstoppable force to be reckoned with. And we are so excited that she’s joined the #lorealparisfamily . Viola, you show us every day that with courage and confidence there is no limit to what a strong, beautiful woman can do. You’re #worthit .” View this post on Instagram Viola Davis is an #unstoppable force to be reckoned with. And we are so excited that she’s joined the #lorealparisfamily.

It’s the sort of mantra we should tell all our little girls.” As we’ve previously reported, these past few months have been nothing but major announcements for Viola. While her role as Annalise on ABC’s Shondaland drama HTGAWM will be ending this season, Viola has also been tapped to play Michelle Obama in Showtime’s upcoming anthology series First Ladies .

But found time to team up with Hot 107.9 to pop up on his former high school Lithia Springs High School and surprise the students with a performance. Lithia Springs High students went absolutely crazy when Lil Nas X showed up at their pep rally to show the students love. He then performed a few of his hits, including “Old Town Road,” which shut the gym down!

Camila Mendes on the cover of Women’s Health Magazine talking about college rape.. lovely…or hot…or SAD….depending on what kind of victim blaming you’re into… From my perspective, I am not going to even read the story, mainly because I don’t care about “THE NECK”…that is what I call this one….from “Riverdale”…a show that should have ended after season one….instead of it becoming a sexual assault on all of our brains that it became….which I can assume this one had something to do with it because she is the expert on sexual assault… So from my perspective, unless you are jumped walking home at night in an alley, you are not a “Rape” victim, you are an idiot who is too trusting, who doesn’t protect herself. YOU are to blame for all bad things that happen to you…99.9 percent of the time. I get that it is a trend or cool to be a rape victim, but it’s annoying for those of us who don’t fucking care…kee your pussy and it’s conquests and failures to your damn self….unless you’re actually posting pics of it…which I am cool with… JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Source: Hannah Foslien / Getty California Passes Bill 72-0 Allowing Students Athletes To Profit From Their Name If you follow Lebron James even remotely, you’ve heard his vocalness about student-athletes not being paid for risking their bodies in the name of sports entertainment. If a student gets caught taking any cash, they will lose their scholarships, be kicked from the team, and sometimes even have legal action taken. Lebron’s platform Undisputed has been one of the biggest voices for California’s proposed SB 206, “the Fair Pay To Play Act”. Everyone is California- call your politicians and tell them to support SB 206! This law is a GAME CHANGER. College athletes can responsibly get paid for what they do and the billions they create. — LeBron James (@KingJames) September 5, 2019 College athletes are workers. Pay them. https://t.co/PNEefTbS2O — Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) September 6, 2019 The bill was designed to let college athletes profit for their name & likeness and take endorsement deals. According to Deadspin , the bill passed on Monday night 72-0 , with ZERO opposition and is now headed to the desk of Governor Gavin Newsom, who has already expressed his support. It seems like a no-brainer, but the NCAA has already expressed they will not go down without a fight. NCAA President Mark Emmert (whose salary is $4 Million dollars) had urged California lawmakers to postpone consideration of the bill back in June, stating the following: “We recognize all of the efforts that have been undertaken to develop this bill in the context of complex issues related to the current collegiate model that have been the subject of litigation and much national debate. Nonetheless, when contrasted with current NCAA rules, as drafted the bill threatens to alter materially the principles of intercollegiate athletics and create local differences that would make it impossible to host fair national championships. As a result, it would likely have a negative impact on the exact student-athletes it indents to assist.” While the bill passed is seemingly easier, the fight is just getting started to actually get these athletes some fair treatment…and some money. If this bill becomes law, it will go into effect on January 1, 2023.
