Same-sex Marriage legalized In All States #LoveWins

Image
Love Wins Today marks history as crowds chant and cheer across the country, "straight, gay, black or white, marriage is a civil right," to the Supreme Court's decision to legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. Love has no boundaries so why should marriage is my opinion on the decisions. Of course social media is going crazy over the decision, many supporting the decision as the hashtag #lovewins began to trend.  Gay and lesbian couples already could marry in 36 states and the District of Columbia. The court’s 5-4 ruling means the remaining 14 states, in the South and Midwest, will have to stop enforcing their bans on same-sex marriage. The Obama administration backed the right of same-sex couples to marry. The Justice Department’s decision to stop defending the federal anti-marriage law in 2011 was an important moment for gay rights and President Barack Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage in 2012. I'm excited about this decisio...

A Condom That Changes Colors When You're STD Positive

Image
Solution or Nah? By:  Shenequa Golding   June 24, 2015 10:48 AM So you and bae are kissing and touchin’ and you got the smooth R&B playlist going. He’s taking off your shirt, you’re unbuckling his belt. He’s kissing your neck and you reach over to grab the condom. He puts it on and then bam! The condom turns green. Well, according to a group of groovy kids from the UK that have developed condoms that change color if you have an STD, it could mean bae has chlamydia. London’s Isaac Newton Academy students Muaz Nawaz ,  Daanyaal Ali ,  and Chirag Shah, cleverly titled the “smart” condom S.T. EYE. The group of 13 and 14 year olds  maintain they intended  to create the condom to offer people different ways of knowing their status. “We wanted to make something that made detecting harmful STIs safer than ever before, so that people can take immediate action in the privacy of their own homes without the invasive procedures at the doctors...

Snoop Dogg & Pharrell Williams Collaborations

Image
The Hit Duo Over the pass decade hip hop icons Snoop Dogg and Pharrell Williams have given us great classic music. Both stars always deliver solid pieces that keep us happy and dancing. Snoop Dogg starting as a gangsta death row rapper, transformed his music into the club banger happy stoner type. Pharrell beginning as only a producer who harmonized every now and then, is now a pop rock superstar/producer. Seeing these transformations take place right before my eyes is inspirational, a person has the ability to do so much over a decade of time. These two once very different artist began their collections of collaborations in 2002 with the ladies anthem "Beautiful." The song was a major success and to this day one of my favorite Snoop Dogg songs. Pharrell and Snoop deserves more credit for their song writing in my personal opinion, but here are favorite Snoop & Pharrell collaborations. Enjoy!   California Roll (2015) Let's Get Blown (2004) Beautiful (2002)...

Golden State Champions

Steph Curry With The Shot! Stephen Curry & Andre Iguodala     A much deserved win for the Golden State Warrior on Tuesday night. The first championship in 40 years, after going down 2-1 in the series, the warriors came back to win 3 straight games over the Cleveland Cavaliers. This was an unexpected lost for the Cavaliers, being that Lebron James proclaimed the title as "The best player in the world" during a recent press conference. Andre Iguodala was announced as the MVP of the series. Although many were expecting point guard Stephen Curry to receive the title, there were also debates about if Lebron should have still gotten the MVP title. Iguodala outscored the Cavs by 62 points during the series, so he's well deserving of the MVP title, even if Steph Curry got the shot. Score 105-97 Congratulations Warriors!

After 10 years of operation and visitor rates declining, in order to fulfill a corporate mandate, a new attraction is created to re-spark visitor's interest, which backfires horribly.

The movie continues the 1993 Jurassic Park story line with a whole new breed of dinosaurs.Throughout the movie you'll learn about the main characters and their backgrounds.

Generally these are the artist who has stood out during this season, and are expected to make a major move inside of the hip hop industry. They're a few unexpected faces on the cover, and also fans like myself, were wondering why any of the OVO crew on the cover weren’t. Editor-in-Chief Vanessa Satten answers in a Breakfast club interview how Partynextdoor & iloveMakonnen lacked interest in being on the cover and how some of the artist got on the cover. Could they be following in the footsteps of Label owner Drake? Who was not on the freshmen list along with label mate Nicki Minaj.
