Black women's creativity has shaped the global beauty industry.
From ancient traditions to today’s show-stopping designs, nail art has always been about self-expression. Now, as the world catches on to what we've always known, it’s time for us to take our rightful place in the business of beauty.

These individuals are shining beacons of strength and defiance, highlighting struggles for justice, equality, and dignity. Their presence at the Games underscores the unyielding spirit of those who continue to fight for their rightful place in the world.

22 years ago, Ciudade De Deus (City of God), premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.
"Cidade de Deus" (City of God) is a cinematic tour de force that dropped in 2002, directed by Fernando Meirelles with co-director Kátia Lund. This film is a gripping dive into Rio de Janeiro's favelas, painting an unflinching picture of life amid poverty and violence.
Following Rocket, a young aspiring photographer, and Li'l Zé, a ruthless gang leader, the narrative captures the stark contrast between dreams of escape and the brutal climb to power. The authenticity is undeniable, rooted in real events and brought to life with visceral storytelling and kinetic cinematography.
Each frame pulsates with the raw energy of the favela, making you feel every heartbeat and gunshot. "City of God" is more than a movie; it's a vivid, immersive experience that leaves you breathless, highlighting the resilience of the human spirit amidst chaos.
This film is a cultural landmark, a must-see for anyone craving a powerful, authentic story told with unmatched cinematic brilliance. If you haven't watched it, add it to your list!
