Before Allen Iverson was an MVP, he was a headline. Labeled early. Criminalized young. Defined by narratives before the public ever knew him for themselves. Iverson changed basketball. But the story told about him reveals how media shapes perception.

This weekend, people gathered in Selma & Montgomery for a National Day of Action after the dismantling of key Voting Rights Act protections. Rep. Terri Sewell’s message was clear: voting rights are fundamental — not partisan.

At Essence Fest, Esosa said it clearly: Disinformation works because repetition feels like truth. The more people hear a claim, the more believable it becomes. The more they see it, the more they think everyone else believes it too. That’s the power of hyper-amplification.

“Somewhere I read…” Freedom and justice were supposed to be guaranteed in America. Nearly 60 years later, Dr. King's words are eerily relevant given today’s reality: protests met with force, families torn apart by ICE raids, and basic rights treated as privileges.

Context matters with AI. If your prompt is too vague, AI can confidently give you the wrong answer. Ask about “the Green Book” without context, and it may pull from a totally different history than the one you meant. Be specific. Prompts matter. #OnyxImpact #AI #AILiteracy

DEI has become a political smokescreen. Funding cuts hit Black institutions. Targeting programs serving Black communities. One example gets amplified into a full justification. Esosa Osa calls it a mis- and disinformation strategy. And it’s working.

591 books by Black authors were banned from Pentagon-run schools under this administration. As Godfrey breaks down, Black history in schools has always been limited, sanitized, or erased. The truth has always lived outside the system. Read Black authors. Support Black educators.

But… did you see these kicks though??? In case you didn't know, our CEO Esosa Osa is a HUGE sneakerhead so you know the kicks had to be fire whenever we stepped out this year 😂 Just a few highlights from this year’s rotation....

Black excellence isn’t a trend. It’s a force. And this year’s The Root 100 made that plain. We were honored to sponsor the celebration and to stand with The Root, a platform that continues to uplift our stories and tell the truth with no filter. We’re locked in for the long haul.

🚨 ICYMI: Kentucky’s Senate primary showed the growing power of Trump’s endorsement inside the GOP. Andy Barr won decisively after Trump endorsed him and a major rival exited the race for an ambassadorship role. The seat Mitch McConnell held since 1984 is now heading to a Trump loyalist.

allow me to elaborate: Saber SINGLEHANDEDLY made me like 3 types of women in Fate/Zero alone: 1. lady knights ✅️ 2. women in suits ✅️ 3. women who ride motorbikes ✅️ she later had some moments in Fate/Stay Night UBW that done turned my heart into a puddle, especially including this tiny clip:

Sen. Kennedy asks if Europe should give Ukraine the $300B in frozen Russian assets and whether America should sell weapons to Taiwan. Yes. Democracies cannot survive by hesitating while authoritarian regimes invade neighbors, threaten allies, and test the limits of our resolve. Vote Democrat.💙

Away from the reporters’ cameras, Gazans carrying “aid” bags show the real nightlife: passing people dancing with sodas, buying desserts, walking past the packed O2GAZA, stopping to watch deliveries at Taj Mall, and ending with a slushy at another restaurant.
