A post shared by Tracee Ellis Ross (@traceeellisross) on Sep 12, 2019 at 9:02am PDT The Cast Of Girlfriends Now Tracee Ellis Ross blew up the internet when she posted a video of a reunited cast of Girlfriends . In case you don’t remember, the show is one of the iconic, memorable black shows of all time. It revolutionized the way black women were portrayed on TV. Also, it showed four fine a$$ black women living their lives. Obviously, since the show ended, Tracee Ellis Ross has gone on to be a huge superstar and star of Black-ish. The other three women, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Golden Brooks are still acting and also living their best lives. Now, it looks like we’ll see them all together again on Black-ish . This has, of course, shattered Twitter. However, the above clip is also a reminder that these women are still fine as all hell in 2019. Want to get put on? Hit the flip and see for yourselves…

At the end of August, Alaskan Bush People star Bear Brown got engaged to Raiven Adams . Congratulations were in order! But two weeks later, the couple broke off their engagement , deciding to instead remain best friends. That was just days ago. Now, Bear and Raiven have a new announcement: they’re expecting their first child! Bear Brown spoke to People to share the surprising news. “Raiven and I are excited to share we’re expecting a baby this spring!” Bear gushes. He does acknowledge that Raiven is no longer slated to rule by his side as the Queen of Extreme. “Even though we’re no longer together,” Bear explains. “We’re still friends” “And,” he emphasizes. “Dedicated to raising a healthy and happy child.” “Raiven will be an amazing mom,” Bear raves about his hot model ex-fiancee. He makes a firm vow: “and I will work my hardest to be the best dad I can be!” “Family is everything to me,” Bear affirms. “And,” he expresses. “We appreciate everyone’s support as we figure out our new normal.” Raising a baby with your ex fiancee who is now your best friend is no joke. And who knows what their status will be when Raiven gives birth. Raiven also spoke to People about the surprise. “We’re still in an early stage,” Raiven revealed. “But,” she noted. “We’ve talked a lot about how to make this work and prioritize the baby.” Raiven expresses optimism: “We know the strength of our friendship and support of our families will allow us to raise a happy child.” While she is looking forward to the future, she is already feeling the full force of the pregnancy. “Pregnancy is no joke!” Raiven reminds the world. “I’m not sleeping much,” she laments. “And I’m pretty sick but still feeling very blessed.” Raiven says that she and Bear are eager to learn what sorts of genitals their baby will have “as soon as we can.” But Raiven would still “be thrilled with a boy or girl.” Raiven also made the announcement on Instagram. “Quickly after deciding friendship was best for us!” Raiven begins. “We found out we had a little surprise coming our way.” “After a quick engagement,” she reminds followers. “Because we felt that was the right thing to do.” “We talked about things,” Raiven shares. “And ultimately decided being co parents was best for us as well as our baby.” “We are super excited,” she expresses. “And surprised to announce this especially due to current events.” “We are excited to coparent as friends,” Raiven writes. “And,” she adds, to “do our best to be the best we can be.” “We can’t wait to find out the gender!” she notes. “Being in the earlier stages means a lot of sick and sleepless nights.” “Thats okay,” Raiven concludes, suddenly speaking to her unborn child. “Because you are for sure worth it!” Some would consider this a very early time to announce a pregnancy. Early pregnancies can be very fragile. But given that their engagement ended earlier this week, perhaps they figured that it was best to get it all out into the open now . Congratulations!

Although Black men and boys are often the center of conversation when it comes to the criminalization of Black people, the current realities for Black girls and women are also grim. NBWJI’s report, entitled “ End School PushOut for Black Girls and Other Girls of Color,” says that according to the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights Data, Black girls in grades K-12 are seven times more likely to be suspended from school and four times more likely to be arrested on school grounds. These statistics reflect studies from a 2015 report called “Black Girls Matter: Pushed Out, Overpoliced And Underprotected.” The report said that data released by the Department of Education for the 2011–2012 school year showed that while Black males were suspended more than three times as often as their White counterparts, Black girls were suspended six times as often. Only 2 percent of White females faced exclusionary suspensions in comparison to 12 percent of Black girls. In 2019, it seems NBWJI is continuing the work of the 2015 report by acknowledging that punitive practices, such as expulsions or in-school arrests, can increase the risk of girls coming in contact with the juvenile and criminal justice system. With women being the fastest growing prison population , even over men, it’s paramount that Black girls be included in the conversation of decriminalizing Black people. NBWJI released a list of federal, state and local policy recommendations to help prevent the criminalization of Black girls. The recommendations are inclusive of other marginalized groups, such as Black LGBTQ+ youth, and they operate on the principle that if Black girls are centered in the conversation, it could lead to policy that decriminalizes all Black youth. On the federal level, recommendations include policies that support pregnant and parenting students in school districts and post-secondary institutions. Instead of discouraging these students from discontinuing their education, NBWJI suggests programs to support the academic success of these students such as access to quality, affordable child care. Another federal recommendation is increased funding for extracurricular activities that fully integrate girls, transgender, gender non-conforming and non-binary youth (TGNC). Finally, on the federal level, the report calls for the protection of immigrant children by eliminating and preventing the presence of Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on school grounds. On the state level, the report suggests removing all police from schools and disarming school-based personnel. Instead of money going to law enforcement, they suggest directing it to counselors, social workers and restorative justice programming in schools. On the state and local level, the report calls for alternatives to “zero tolerance” processes. Instead of kicking students out of school via suspensions, expulsions or school-based arrests for subjective minor infractions, the report suggests alternatives like harm reduction, mindfulness and again, more restorative practices. The report especially calls for the end to suspensions and expulsions for pre-K and grades K-2 in favor of strategies to address behavioral problems and to support teachers. If you want to learn more about the policy suggestions from NBWJI’s report, you can check it out here . You can expect more discussions in the future as the conversation around Black women and girls continues to grow.
