I Promise School Founded by Lebron James-Empowering Kids in Akron

ArianneUpdated on July 31, 2018July 31, 2018

Knowledge is power! NBA superstar Lebron James is keeping his promise to not only give back to his community; but to empower the future generation to new levels of success. James took a huge step by opening up his very own school in his hometown of Akron, Ohio. The I Promise School will aim to educate, inform, as well as remove common obstacles facing students today.

I Promise School Founded by Lebron James-Empowering Kids in Akron

WE ARE FAMILY. At least that is Mr. Lebron James’ approach to education. Children, parents and faculty all need to come together as one in order to help every child reach higher. Nonetheless, today everyone from the staff down is inundated with numerous challenges.

For example, teachers do not always have the tools, equipment or books they need to teach. Parents may not make enough to give or provide their children with the necessities going to school may require. Moreover, sadly many students now can not even have a noontime meal. For instance, in California it is estimated that 1 in 5 school children go hungry every day.

A meal may not seem to go hand in hand with education, but it does. A good meal can not only provide the energy a child may need, but also the brain power to compute the lessons being taught. The Lebron I Promise School is set up to face such teaching challenges head on.

I Promise School Founded by Lebron James-Empowering Kids in Akron … Amazing Benefits

Therefore, what benefits will James’ school offer to those who enroll? The school reveals:

Free tuition
Provide free uniforms
Free bicycle and helmet
Offer free transportation within 2 miles of the school
Offer free breakfast, lunch and snacks
Food pantry for families
GEDs and job placement services for parents
Guaranteed tuition to the University of Akron for every student who graduates

As one can see, Lebron James’ educational endeavor is taking the school system and infusing it with old school values. Helping parents, teachers and students to get the job done and done well. Today’s world wants students to feel like learning is a privilege not a right. When in essence it is the exact opposite.

Every child deserves the right to learn so that they may succeed in the future. Every child deserves the right to have the same opportunities as those who have more than them. When it comes to education we should all be on the same playing field and Lebron James is starting the movement in these modern times to accomplish just that.

I Promise School Founded by Lebron James-Empowering Kids in Akron … Community Reaction

We are not the only ones excited about the opening of Lebron’s school! Many took to social media including James’ friends to congratulate and express their gratitude for Lebron’s moving contribution to the community of Akron, Ohio. Here are a few of their positive and encouraging thoughts:

“Today my brother, friend and business partner, Lebron James, has made an amazing mark in history; by opening his own school her in our hometown of Akron, Ohio. We are all witnesses!”

–Ernie Ramos

“Lebron James, the human platform, opened the I Promise School today! The kid from Akron is giving the kids from Akron hope, which is the key to life!”

–Maverick Carter

“This is very dope.”

This is everything! Proud you are from Ohio!”

“THE DREAM!”

“Modern day Robin Hood. You’re a hero bro. Real talk.”

“This man is so dope. This how you use your status and influence to make an impact.”

“Thanks King and if you ever need a former engineer to come speak to the students. I’ll be available. #AuntieLoni.”

“GOAT.”

“There you go Bron and Team. So dope. Educate, Motivate, and Pass it on! Proud of you guys and appreciate you man.”

“I respect this more than any championship or MVP award. Respect.”

“For the culture.”

“This by far is bigger than anything he’s done on a basketball court. Changing the lives of the children here in my hometown.”

I Promise School Founded by Lebron James-Empowering Kids in Akron … Conclusion

Lebron is certainly leaving his mark with the I Promise School. This school is not something that came by accident. James identifies with the children of Akron because he faced a lot of things they did before becoming a NBA champion. Regarding this Lebron states,

“I know exactly what these 240 kids are going through… because I’ve been there. They’re the reason why this school is here today.”

Therefore, much love to James and students of the I Promise School. We look forward to seeing all the great things they achieve as well as seeing others step up, and continue to give back to the community that helped make them as well.

Bald Edges Treatment: Get Them Back! Curl Game Moisture Lock Growth Oil

ArianneUpdated on July 31, 2018July 31, 2018

Gazing into the mirror one day and seeing that your edges have all but disappeared; can be a frightening and emotional roller coaster. Since hair is described as a crown of glory, most of us would like to have a head full of hair WITH a “normal” hairline. Nonetheless, if you find yourself in this situation there is definitely hope; especially, if you implement a haircare product specially formulated to encourage growth. This article will tell you all about a bald edges treatment that will revitalize, hydrate and of course, bring back those edges!

An edge oil that is receiving rave reviews is the Curl Game Moisture Lock Growth Oil. One bottle is said to get those bald areas growing in less than a month!

Beyonce September Vogue 2018 Issue -In Control and Hires First Black Photographer

ArianneUpdated on July 30, 2018July 30, 2018

The Beyonce September Vogue 2018 issue is sure to be one of the top selling mags of 2018! If newsstands can keep up with demand; readers will get a chance to see and read an unprecedented, unparalleled and momentous occurrence in the entire history of journaling.

Vogue Editor-In-Chief Anna Wintour is handing over the creative reins to Mrs. Carter. Yes, Beyoncé will have FULL control of Vogue’s annual biggest issue of the year. Therefore, what will Mrs. Carter be able to dictate for the September edition? Here is a quick cheat sheet:

The music icon will be able to select the photographer of her choosing.
Full control over the look of the cover.
Full control over all photos of her inside of the issue.
Control over the captions used in her spread.
Use of captions she has written herself in long-form.

Sources close to Vogue as well as the Bey camp state that this move is solid. A contract is already currently in place between Beyoncé and the long running magazine. The terms that Beyoncé laid out have been okayed and are apart of the agreement. Moreover, Beyoncé’s first move of business is creating even more history; she has officially hired the first black photographer to shoot her cover of Vogue.

Beyonce September Vogue 2018 Issue -In Control and Hires First Black Photographer

While most of the world may think 23-year-old photographer, Tyler Mitchell is a newbie. He is FAR from it. Mitchell has photographed covers for More or Less Magazine, FADER, Teen Vogue as well as Office Magazine. Plus, he has had celebrities such as director Spike Lee, supermodel Slick Woods and actress Amandla Stenberg all take their place in front of his lens.

Plus, Beyoncé fans have no reason to fear that the young Mitchell will not be able to capture Bey’s unique, personal style. Just last year, Tyler photographed a full series of images for high-end designer, Marc Jacobs. These very images also made their way into Dazed magazine.

Furthermore, he is also the director behind the nerve pinching viral video showcasing the need for gun reform. The video put out by Teen Vogue features real texts by real school shooting survivors. On Tyler’s Instagram page alone, the video received numerous positive accolades and some 20,ooo plus views.

Now the talented artist is on tap to bring Beyoncé’s magazine vision to life. From the cover photo to the editorial; Tyler will work hand in hand with the queen of the Beyhive in order to make the Beyoncé September Vogue 2018 issue one for the ages.

Beyonce September Vogue 2018 Issue -In Control and Hires First Black Photographer (Continued)

How did Tyler Mitchell get this highly sought after position? Pull. Yes, sources are spilling that Beyoncé had to utilize her celebrity status in order to hire a black photographer. A very sad, and hard to swallow thought given that Vogue has been around for some 126 years AND it’s 2018.

While Tyler is in no way the first black photographer to ever lense photos for Vogue. He is unfortunately the first to ever shoot a Vogue cover. It’s unfortunate because in this day in age this is a mark that should have already been made.

Sources close to Vogue had this to say in regards to the hiring and selection of photographer by Beyoncé:

“The reason a 23 year old black photographer is photographing Beyoncé for the cover of Vogue; is because Beyoncé used her power and influence to get him that assignment.”

“Vogue typically prefers to hire fashion photographers with more traditional experience; and likely would not have selected Mitchell for a cover shoot.”

Why did Beyoncé choose this young and bright talent? Well, a quick glance at Tyler’s work and you will definitely notice similarities in their artistic approach (see his IG page: @tylerphotos). Laidback, a little edgy yet never following in the footsteps of someone else’s look or aesthetic.

In an interview with The New York Times, Tyler Mitchell explains how he prefers and likes to capture people of color. He mentions,

“I depict black people and people of color in a really real and pure way. There is an honest gaze to my photos.”

This style of “realness” is an aspect that most likely attracted Mrs. Carter to collaborate with Mitchell on her much anticipated, upcoming cover and spread for Vogue.

Beyonce September Vogue 2018 Issue – Anna Says Goodbye?

As history has shown repeatedly, all good things must come to an end. Nevertheless, is this the end for Ms. Wintour and her tenure as Vogue editor? In shocking twist, all signs are pointing to this outcome as being true.

The rumor mill is on fire as word on Anna spreads throughout the vine like rapid fire. This is likely Wintour’s final September edition and she is going out with bang. Not only will arguably the biggest artist in these modern music times once again cover the September issue; but Wintour will do something she has never done before, relinquish control.

For decades, there has been only one decider for Vogue… Anna Wintour. She always picks the photographer, the fashions and literally approves everything. Without her say so, it just is not happening. Nonetheless, Anna is graciously taking a side seat for Beyoncé and seems more than happy to do so.

Beyonce September Vogue 2018 Issue -Sorry No Interviews Loves

We apologize for being the bearers of such bad news. However, Bey decided to follow in her footsteps of 2015. In that year when she covered Vogue she opted to not give an interview. Something that most look forward to reading when a celebrity covers a magazine.

Nevertheless, dry those eyes. Bey isn’t leaving us all in a lurch! Instead of giving an interview she plans to include her own long-form captions to go along with any imagery shot by Mr. Tyler Mitchell. This should definitely be an interesting and amazing issue!

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration!

ArianneUpdated on July 24, 2018July 23, 2018

CurlFest 2018 left the entire natural hair realm shooketh! We’re talking curl comradery, peace, love and undeniable black beauty appreciation. This amazing event is now the world’s largest hair festival and this year it went down in Brooklyn at Prospect Park.

We have had a ball checking out all the gorgeous hair and fashion style looks from ladies from all over who were in attendance. It was VERY difficult to narrow down a few of our favorites to just 75. However, we think we may have done it.

Moreover, if you are looking for inspiration to go natural OR new hairstyle ideas; you will definitely find both. PLUS, as a little fun extra we will be including some helpful natural hair tips along the way. So then, enjoy our Curlfest 2018 album and happy natural hair!

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration

From curls to twists, braids to afros and locs to vibrant hair color. Every natural hair look got repped and repped proudly!

CurlFest 2018 – 75 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Two

Whether your hair is in a short hairstyle, medium or long; one thing is for sure… all natural hair needs moisture! This is due to two reasons, the structural makeup of curly hair as well as the dynamics of hair growth.

If hair is dry, brittle and tangling constantly it’s simple math. It is not going to appear like it’s getting longer or more voluminous. Yes, hair never stops growing; however, if it is steadily breaking off and falling out from lack of hydration you will NEVER see any signs of real growth. Yikes.

The key then is add moisture. Since water takes longer to travel down a curly strand as opposed to a straight one, it becomes even more necessary to make sure you not only hydrate your strands; but lock all that water in. This can be achieved by applying water soluble stylers, conditioners and creams; then use a high-quality oil to lock and fence in those moisturizing products. Got it? Great back to the CurlFest 2018 hairdos!

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Three

As one can see, achieving beautiful natural hair can be a reality! However, one issue that some run into when transitioning or even thereafter is knots. Knotting up at the ends occurs when… you guessed it, ends are not getting the moisture or nutrients they need to stay healthy.

Also, FYI, ends that can not be easily passed or combed/brushed through is a good indication that it is time for a trim. Nonetheless, help prevent this little hair issue by applying hair oil to your tresses. Carrot oil and jojoba oil can be real hair savers in this particular area. However, back to the styles!

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Four

Got another quick hair tip coming at you! Hair oil is also a great product for de-tangling. This is because like conditioners and creams, it provides a nice amount “slip” to help your fingers or brush pass through. Try warming up coconut oil or jojoba oil then apply it to your strands right before untangling.

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Five

Now if you are loving all of this natural hair appreciation photos then you might want to also check out these 10 fab curly hair looks by actress Yara Shahidi. This natural hair pro will show you some other cool ways to switch up. Alright, back to the ladies at CurlFest 2018!

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Six

Time for another hair tip! Well, naturalistas, if you do decide to towel dry or blot out some of the water from your hair; it is best not to use a regular old towel. Opt for either a microfiber towel or use a tee shirt. You see other towels are made from a harsher material; and by using them you can cause unnecessary frizz as well as rough up the cuticle. Keep that quick tip in your natural hair back pocket and let’s get back to the hairstyles.

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Seven

These styles are all SUPER amazing, but what if your hair isn’t as curly or as long as you would like it to be? Well, girl shoot, just fake it! Here is an awesome tutorial on how to get the curly look on extensions. Enjoy the tutorial and this next set of hair looks!

CurlFest 2018 – 170 Pics of Natural Hair Ideas and Inspiration -Part Eight
