Blue Ivy's Audiobook Narration For Hair Love Snags Her Yet Another Award

-

Blue Ivy Carter is clearly following in her parents' footsteps. On Dec. 19, the 9-year-old won big at the 2021 Voice Arts Awards, snagging best voice-over of a children's audiobook for narrating Matthew A. Cherry's Hair Love. Cherry originally created Hair Love as a short film, and the Oscar-winning short was later turned into a book also written by the filmmaker (it's also in the process of becoming a TV series).

At this point, Blue is eyeing superstar status with yet another award added to her repertoire. Her grandmother Tina Knowles congratulated her with an Instagram post: "Congrats my Blue. You killed this!! It's only the beginning ! You are so talented ! Grandma is beyond proud!!!" Based on her singing skills in the theme song for Knowles's forthcoming talk show, Talks With Mama Tina, Blue has a lot of big things lined up for her future.

Earlier this year, Blue won her first-ever Grammy Award for best music video for her contributions to Beyoncé's "Brown Skin Girl" single. She's the second youngest Grammy winner in history and a member of a star-studded Grammy-winning family. Winning is in the Carters' blood, and based on the year that the family had, nothing can stop Blue from setting the bar high for other kids her age. A huge congratulations to the 9-year-old power player!

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

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 ...
