[Op-Ed] The Hurricane Katrina Kids We Don’t Talk About

I was in my first week of sophomore year at Spelman College on August 29, 2005. Freshman year was transformative; I was learning about love from bell hooks, living in a new city, and beginning to see how differently Blackness could be experienced and embodied. I was becoming a new version of myself and believed I would not return home to New Orleans after college. That changed after Katrina.

Instead of leaving the city when Hurricane Katrina hit, my family stayed behind at a hotel off Canal Street.… Read more

Drake Finally Addresses The Plastic Surgery Rumor, “They Call Me BBL Drizzy”

Drake has been the center of plenty of wild rumors, but one of the longest-running is whether his abs are the result of the gym or the doctor’s office.

The chatter really picked up steam again during his feud with Kendrick Lamar. On “euphoria” back in April 2024, Kendrick took a jab at Drake’s stomach, and a month later on “Meet The Grahams” he doubled down, basically suggesting Champagne Papi was faking the six-pack life.
