LaineyGossip on the White Fragility used against Sasha Exeter
Canadian influencer Sasha Exeter took to her Instagram a week ago to share her own "Amy Cooper" experience. Amy Cooper, if you recall, was the white woman who called the police hysterically claiming her life was in danger from Christian Cooper, a Black man who was bird watching in Central Park. Despite many breathing a sigh of relief that this encounter didn't end in a fatal tragedy, the George Floyd murder occurred around that time which kick-started the culture movement we're finally experiencing now.

13 Nollywood Fine Girls and How They Look Now
The heartthrobs of yesterday have aged. Call them what you want: heartthrobs, Nollywood 'fine girls', female love interests...in the 90s and early 2000s, these women dominated the Nollywood scene as the "fine girls" that carried most Nigerian romantic movies.

Part I : Childhood Tidbits from Brooklyn Raised Celebrities
Photo by Jessie Pearl Pat Benatar Pat Benatar was born on Jan. 10, 1953 in Brooklyn as Patricia Mae Andrzejewski. Her father worked with sheet metal, and her mom was a beautician who was trained as an opera vocalist. Her parents never pushed their daughter in a musical direction, but when teachers at Daniel Street Elementary School heard her voice, they had Benatar take voice lessons during gym class, according to Sari Rosenberg of Lifetime. She did her first solo at the age of eight, and of course, there was plenty of time to be a cheerleader, enjoy the beach and got to the movies. Benatar eventually went to Lindenhurst High School, and stood out enough in the musical and theater department, that she gained acceptance to the Juilliard School of Music. Remarkably, the 80s icon declined and pursued a degree in health education at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She lasted a year and married her high school sweetheart, Dennis T. Benatar. He was a soldier, and they moved to Virginia where he was stationed.

7 Richest Actresses in Nigeria (Photos).
That Nollywood money. For so many, becoming a Nollywood star is a dream. They look up to their favorite actors and actresses and say to themselves "I can do that" but when they get to those sets, they see that 1.) The act of acting itself especially in front of a camera and on a professional set is difficult, and 2.) Acting by itself especially for an up and coming actor or actress doesn't pay as much as they think.

iamdung is vile, gross, and sick.
Based on the topic at hand, I consider this article to be a waste of my writing abilities. To be honest, I do not even know why I am giving this person or their activities this level of attention as this! Yet, I feel it is something I must do as it's for whomever reads this article.
