For instance, the BET Awards were on Monday and that brought out a whole bunch of entertainment and notable moments. Chief among them? Well, Jamie Foxx decided to make a whole auditorium of Black people shed tears as he accepted an Icon Award and talked about his health journey and thanked his sister, daughters and everybody who had his back. Shoot, I was at home and shed all of the tears. That was just one of many moments that had people talking the day after.
June also means that Tyler Perry released a new movie, though if we’re being honest, that happens in nearly every month of every year at this point. All jokes aside, during the press run for his latest film “Straw,” Taraji P. Henson talked about why she rides so hard for Tyler Perry since so many of y’all wonder why she keeps showing up…because he did for her. Run tell that!
And what’s love and support without Ciara pulling up on Jim Jones during the BET Media Day to tell him that he needs to marry Chrissy, ASAPtually? The Dipset capo took it in stride and who knows, maybe wedding bells are in the future for the reality show couple!
Look, it’s June, kids are about to be home from school so we need all the enjoyment and entertainment available. Sure, there is A LOT to talk about in the USA; there are protests going on as we speak. TheGrio has you covered for that, but we also have you covered when you need a little smile, too. So keep reading, subscribe and keep pulling up on our social media to engage with us. Y’all are why we do what we do. Thank you.
Best, Panama Jackson
