Beyoncé and JAY-Z Grace Us With a Stunning Appearance at the NAACP Image Awards

-

On Saturday night, Beyoncé and JAY-Z strolled into the NAACP Image Awards, probably knowing good and well that they were stunting on all of us. The husband and wife of 10 years attended the Hollywood occasion looking like a million bucks as Bey modeled a white structured dress and Jay rocked a black double-breasted suit. The two remained close throughout the night, giving each other a sweet kiss during the show and posing for a snapshot while holding hands.

At the event, JAY-Z was honored with the president's award for his efforts to combat racism and uplift the black community. The rapper took the stage to accept the award and delivered an emotional speech about the people in his life who have continued to inspire him. He specifically mentioned the impact his grandmother Hattie White and other women in his family had on his career. "I grew up believing I could do anything. I could accomplish anything because of those strong women in my house, so I'd like to dedicate this award to those beautiful women," he said. He then went on to thank his wife, adding, "I'd like to dedicate this award to the beautiful woman in my life, Beyoncé."

JAY-Z - whose real name is Shawn Carter - has been a social justice advocate for years, often using his platform to promote equality. His organization, the Shawn Carter Foundation, was founded by him and his mother, Gloria Carter, in 2003. The network helps students with socio-economic obstacles attend college. Among many other things, he also co-founded the REFORM Alliance, a nonprofit that helps reduce the number of people who are unjustly affected by the criminal justice system.

The president's award is the second honor JAY-Z has received within the past few days. On March 28, he and Beyoncé accepted the vanguard award at the GLAAD Media Awards. The merit was in recognition of their support for the LGBTQ+ community. At the gathering, Beyoncé also gave a heartfelt speech about her family as well as the importance of showing love.

Bey and Jay aren't just making money moves - they're making power moves for the greater good of society and looking fierce while doing it. Ahead, watch JAY-Z's full speech and view pictures from their night at the NAACP Image Awards!

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far
