Maiysha Kai is former managing editor of The Glow Up and host of The Root Presents: It's Lit!, and your average Grammy-nominated goddess next door. May I borrow some sugar?

I loved everything!! Well, except for Cynthia Erivo’s scary looking shoes. They look like they could transform into space age, high tech, rapid velocity shooting weapons that could also kick that digidog’s butt and fly a stealth mission.

What does the green MEAN??

You are too too funny! The editorial does scream, “we have literally run out of ideas.”

At least two, maybe three of the pictures have the same (admittedly photogenic) tree.

Not just any shopping cart. I know a 99cent store shopping cart when I see one lol. I am also very confused why all the pictures looked like they were driving around LA, found a neighborhood with trees said yup everybody meet here. Like its apartment buildings and parked cars like whose idea was this? All these parks

It really hurts my heart to see Talley in any sort of trouble, legal or not. That said, whatever his falling out with Ms. Wintour was about, seems to have snowballed into this in a weird, Rube Goldeberg machine-type way. He had been working for Vogue, at-large, for some time prior to his departure, and it is my

This seems like a bad situation for André and I hope he gets to keep the house, but in what world do you deal with these sums of money and there is no contract, email, napkin, or piece of tree bark with general terms and expectations of the agreement written out? Especially with friends. That way there is no emotion

The impact is real. Like it or not she is an influencer in more ways than one. Perhaps she will inspire other girls to get them papers through this example as well. I am really appreciating her and watching her bloom. Still not a fan of the music per se but I like her energy and the moves she has been making. 

They’ll probably stay too stubborn to realize what they truly lost (the royals, I mean, Harry and Meghan are 100% in the right).

AS a fellow survivor, I hear you, Maiysha. Sorry you went through this shit as well. Sorry that Tahliah Debrett Barnett went through it.

Oh, I hear you and I respect your decision to hold your position in view of what you’ve just said. I don’t doubt that she’d like some money; I think she’s entitled to it irrespective of her own finances because of the harm done to her. I don’t think you’re trying to invalidate her case: you’ve shared countless fiery

Thank you. The terror and psychological intimidation from this alone strikes me as helping the abuser who gets to pretend to be amenable to compromise.

I’m willing to extend her grace because I can see why she’d go that route. She’d already been subjected to vitriol for being the “usurper” dated two high profile White men by rabid White fans who were indifferent to the fact that she’s half-White. We also know how the ashy misogynoiristic patrols characterize sisters

We’re going to start seeing this more and more. As black folks start to rightfully reclaim discourse/culture that is their own, they’re also going to be asked to be accountable for their own micro-aggressions and missteps with appropriation. To RiRi’s credit, she handled the situation with a song during her fashion

...his lawyer has since said he is “willing to participate in mediation.”

Is Hinduism limited to India?  If so, appropriation is appropriate.  If not, she could wear Ganesh, a crucifix, a Star of David...
