But Rih Rih had to clap back after a few of her followers expressed their distaste for the pop star calling her son “fine.”
“Who calls their son fine?” one critic asked.
“his mother!!!” Rihanna fired back.
After another fan suggested Rihanna’s baby was “more like cute [and] adorable” since he’s not a “grown man,” the new mom wrote, “you just keep your lil cougar paws away from him and we good!”
In a separate post showing a close-up photo of her and A$AP Rocky’s son, Rihanna referred to him as the “perfect baby.”
Rihanna sent fans into a frenzy on Sunday night when she performed her Super Bowl halftime set with a noticeable baby bump. Shortly after the performance aired, reps for the billionaire superstar confirmed her second pregnancy with A$AP Rocky.
Now with another baby on the way, Rihanna’s focus is solely on motherhood and family.
“The main focus right now is on her family. She loves spending time with her son,” a source toldPeople.
Solange Knowles Will Curate ‘Eldorado Ballroom’ Music Series at Brooklyn Academy of Music
Solange Knowles is serious about her Blackness—as she should be. And we love it.
The Houston-bred songstress’s latest venture finds her teaming with the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) for the “Eldorado Ballroom” music series.
Named after Houston’s Black music hall in the city’s Third Ward section where Knowles grew up, “Eldorado Ballroom” will feature performance art, dance, films, and concerts.
“The program takes an anomalous approach to celebrating the intergenerational expressions of experimental and transcendent performance through the decades, “Knowles wrote on her Instagram account.
“My dedication to reverencing and preserving the works of Black practitioners through Saint Heron continues with a lineup consisting of contemporary and historic creative revolutionaries whose artistry and innovation has left a profound mark on music and performance art.”
She added: “Eldorado Ballroom” takes its name from a historic Black music hall in my native neighborhood, Houston’s Third Ward, where my love for performance began. Each night is programmed to calibrate new artistic territory exploring themes that fulfill my own personal practice. With these seven shows, the multi-generational audiences of Saint Heron and BAM’s communities will experience celebratory and tributary performances that honor the blueprints of these themes in tandem with younger generations reinventing the genres today.”
Solange also spoke with Vulture about connecting with BAM.
“The Black voice is a sacred vessel. Being able to have an opportunity to honor it through all of these different conventions is just a dream job, the “Cranes in the Sky” singer said to Vulture. This is such fulfilling work. And I feel like bringing it back to Houston, bringing it back to my childhood.”
She continued: “The Eldorado Ballroom was a historic music venue in Third Ward, and that’s where my love for performance really started. As a child growing up in a neighborhood so rich with Black history and Black artistic history, I was immersed in that. I got to live, eat, and breathe that through the ways that my parents really nurtured my interest for arts. So I feel like each night of the series is building off an offering that has informed my own practices, whether that’s through an R&B night or an artist like Autumn Knight, who’s from Houston, who’s challenging the lines between audience and artist through performance art.”
BAM President Gina Duncan released a statement to Rolling Stone: Through Saint Heron, she is reshaping the way that we experience culture in bold, unexpected, and experimental ways.”

‘Jeep People Are Different’: Black Chicago Woman’s Apparel Line Licensed By Jeep
Jeep owners have their own wave, and as for the melanated drivers, now they have their own apparel.
Mariama Davis, a Black woman from Chicago, recently scored big with her dedication to her Wrangler after Jeep officially licensed the apparel line she designed.
According to NBC Chicago, Jeep reached out to Davis in early January about the merchandise.
“We are excited to have her be a part of our licensing program,” said Kim Adams House, Jeep’s merchandising and licensing lead.
“Especially when we saw her design that had the seven slot grill and the various hues that represent not just the Jeep brand, but it’s full culture, of multiculturalism – we knew we had something special.”
Davis sought out a graphic designer after coming up with the idea to design Jeep merchandise during the pandemic. Her overall goal for the concept was to reflect the diversity among Jeep lovers.
“Jeep people are different… we literally wear something to show we’re part of the culture,” said Davis. “It could be a keychain or a shirt or a hat.”
“I had been looking for apparel for me as a Jeep owner and I couldn’t find anything that reflected me as a Black woman,” Davis said. “So I came up with an idea… Jeep apparel, Melanin Edition… basically apparel for Melanated Jeepers.”
Working with graphic design company Apparel Redefined out of Crestwood, Davis was able to have her designs embroidered and printed on merchandise like hats and t-shirts.
After launching the designs on Etsy, Davis accumulated customers that even included a group in South Africa.
“To come from the inner city of Chicago and be here… I give thanks to God,” said Davis. “This has been a three-year journey… regardless of people not believing in you, people thinking you’re crazy, that you won’t be able to do it… well, I did it! I did it.”
Davis’ apparel line is now a part of over 145 lifestyle licensees around the world, and as the company approaches the date to make an official announcement, the designer’s merchandise can be purchased on Jeep’s Amazon store.
Ime Udoka is Out – Boston Celtics Officially Hire Joe Mazzulla as New Head Coach
Ime Udoka and his personal problems have been kicked to the curb by the Boston Celtics.
The Boston Celtics have officially hired Joe Mazzulla.
According to Sports Illustrated‘s Chris Mannix, the Celtics announced on Thursday that Mazzulla, who was serving as interim coach during Ime Udoka’s suspension, will be steering the Celtics ship, making Mazzulla the youngest head coach in the NBA.
“As he has shown, Joe is a very talented coach and leader. He has a unique ability to galvanize a room around a mission,” Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said in a statement.
“We are thankful for the work he has done to help get us to this point, and excited that he has agreed to lead us into the future.”
Ime Udoka is no longer employed in any capacity by the Celtics, I’m told. https://t.co/B5gtMgBI1b
Udoka coached the Celtics to the NBA Finals last season, which was Udoka’s first season as an NBA head coach. In September, the Celtics announced Udoka’s suspension for committing several team violations following a report, which detailed an“improper” relationship with a female team employee.
In Udoka’s one year as Boston’s head coach, the Celtics finished with a 51–31 record in the regular season, eventually losing to the Warriors in the finals.
The Brooklyn Nets were considering hiringUdoka during the firing of Steve Nash, but chose Jacque Vaughn, who was serving as the interim coach.
ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith expressed his disappointment with the way the Celtics handled Udoka’s suspension.
“You could’ve handled it differently; they put him on front street. With his personal business, and I happen to know many occasions where that never happened to people who look a lot differently than me or you,” Smith said. “This is where I make people uncomfortable, and I don’t give two damn about it. Y’all full of it, and it really ticks me off with that.”
Currently Boston sits at No. 1 in the Eastern Conference with a record of 41-17.

Eating His Words: Don Lemon ‘Regretful’ About Ageist Comments Saying Women Over 50 Aren’t in Their Prime
Don Lemon is eating his words after some comments he made didn’t age well.
The Hillreported the 56-year-old CNN anchor claims he regrets making comments about women in their “prime.”
Referencing Republican presidential candidate, Nikki Haley, Lemon didn’t like the fact that she is throwing herself back in the ring for a presidential run.
“This whole talk about age makes me uncomfortable. I think it’s the wrong road to go down,” Lemon said. “She says people, you know, politicians or something are not in their prime,” he continued. “Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry. A woman is considered to be in their prime in 20s and 30s and maybe 40s.”
Haley is 51-years-old. After receiving backlash, the CNN This Morning co-host apologized for his commentary via Twitter, saying his comments were “inartful.”
The reference I made to a woman’s “prime” this morning was inartful and irrelevant, as colleagues and loved ones have pointed out, and I regret it. A woman’s age doesn’t define her either personally or professionally. I have countless women in my life who prove that every day.
His female cohosts, as well as people online, immediately jumped to Haley’s defense. Fans of the politician and the Republican Party put Lemon in the hot seat.
I just “googled” and found out that I’m a year older than @NikkiHaley.
According to @donlemon all women aged 50 and up are “past our prime!”
The former South Carolina politician’s team caught wind of the comments and chimed in, sending an email to CNN directly. “Liberals can’t stand the idea of having competency tests for older politicians to make sure they can do the job,” Haley wrote. “By the way, it’s always the liberals who are the most sexist.”
“Did you see what CNN liberal Don Lemon said this morning?”
Nikki Haley campaign now fundraising off of Don Lemon’s woman “in her prime” moment.

These Healthcare Professionals Likely to Be the First All-Women Team to Perform a Heart Transplant
The room was full of women, including the patient.
During the finishing touches of a standard heart transplant surgery in December, cardiothoracic surgeon at University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Amy Fiedler, noticed the team in the operating room was all women.
According to Today, Fiedler, the only female cardiac surgeon at UCSF, explained how unusual it was that the surgical team was all women, since females are underrepresented in most areas of cardiac surgery.

“Has this ever happened before?” Fiedler said she asked cardiac anesthesiologist Dr. Charlene Blake.
“‘Wow, it took this long for something like this to happen?'” Blake said.
“We celebrated how far we’ve come, but it’s also like, ‘Wow, it took this long for something like this to happen?’” Dr. Charlene Blake tells https://t.co/LaKO1WBr7r. https://t.co/G6ukX4GMdZ
“To be in a position at an institution where we have a woman cardiac surgery attending, a woman cardiothoracic anesthesiologist and then a woman cardiac surgery trainee, it’s just really unique to have all of those pieces fall into place,” Fiedler said.
Fiedler explained that the historic moment was not planned, as the case is based on an effectively random call schedule, and this was the team who were on call for patient Fatou Gaye‘s case.
“To be part of a historic moment, it was empowering. It was lovely,” Blake added. “But it was also another day at work. This happened by random, but nothing is truly random.”
“The training takes up a lot of time in your life,” Dr. Laura Scrimgeour, the cardiac surgery fellow for the case, said. “It takes a lot of dedication, and it’s also just traditionally been something that only men have done.”
Scrimgeour is proud to be a part of the group of women who have all gone down different paths before coming together in their place of employment.
“I go to work every day because I love cardiac surgery,” Fiedler said. “To be able to be a part of something bigger that can hopefully inspire the next generation of [individuals] — be it boys, girls, people of color — for anyone to look at us and say, ‘There’s no barriers and I can do this,’ that’s really what makes it worth it.”
Dove Partners with LinkedIn in support of The CROWN Act to Help End Race-Based Hair Discrimination in the Workplace
As part of Dove’s ongoing commitment to help pass The CROWN Actand end race-based hair discrimination nationwide, the brand has partnered with LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, who is committed to creating equal access to economic opportunity and creating more equitable outcomes for all professionals.
While progress has been made to end hair discrimination with the passage of The CROWN Act in some states across the US, race-based hair discrimination remains a systemic problem in the workplace – from hiring practices to daily workplace interactions – disproportionately impacting Black women’s employment opportunities and professional advancement.
CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study
The NEW CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study, co-commissioned by Dove and LinkedIn, found that Black women’s hair is 2.5x more likely to be perceived as unprofessional, and details the systemic social and economic impact of hair bias and discrimination against Black women in the workplace. Additional findings from the CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study include:
Bias against natural hair and protective styles can impact how Black women navigate the hiring process.
Approximately 2/3 of Black women (66%) change their hair for a job interview. Among them, 41% changed their hair from curly to straight.
Black women are 54% more likely (or over 1.5x more likely) to feel like they have to wear their hair straight to a job interview to be successful.
Hair discrimination has led Black women to have a negative experience or outcomes within the workplace.
Black women with coily/textured hair are 2x as likely to experience microaggressions in the workplace than Black women with straighter hair.
Over 20% of Black women 25-34 have been sent home from work because of their hair.
Young Black professionals are feeling the pressure from hair discrimination the most.
Nearly half (44%) of Black women under age 34 feel pressured to have a headshot with straight hair.
25% of Black women believe they have been denied a job interview because of their hair, which is even higher for women under 34 (1/3).
“For far too long, Black women and men have been subject to unfair treatment, outright discrimination and a myriad of inequities for simply wearing our natural hair texture and hair styles that are inherent to our cultural identity. This includes being denied employment, being sent home from work, being overlooked for promotions, and a range of micro-aggressions. This may be hard to believe, but it is real, clearly unwarranted, and unacceptable,” says Esi Eggleston Bracey, President & CEO of Unilever Personal Care in North America. “The goal of the partnership between Dove and LinkedIn is to help put an end to race-based hair discrimination in the workplace. We intend to shine a light on this issue and call upon employers, hiring managers, and professionals to adopt equitable and inclusive practices that create a respectful and open world for natural hair.”
In support of The CROWN Act, Dove and LinkedIn have partnered on a series of actions to help end race-based hair discrimination in the workplace nationwide. Together, we will:
Provide free access to 10 LinkedIn Learning courses focused on creating a more equitable and inclusive work environment, with a goal to educate 1 million hiring managers and workplace professionals by the end of 2023.
Illuminate the real and measurable adverse impact hair discrimination continues to have on Black women in the workplace through the CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study.
Elevate and celebrate the real stories and voices of Black women professionals across LinkedIn and social media platforms using #BlackHairIsProfessional to help redefine what society deems “professional” at work.
While talent is equally distributed, opportunity is not. Cultural identifiers, like hair, are not determining factors for someone’s skills or experience, and no one should be denied employment opportunities or professional advancement because of their hair,” says Rosanna Durruthy, Global Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at LinkedIn. “As Dove works to change legislation, LinkedIn is working to change workplace behavior by training and educating one million hiring managers and human resources professionals on inclusive and equitable business practices. The mission of ending race-based hair discrimination is critically important to our own desire to make work, work better for everyone.”
Dove will continue to drive awareness of The CROWN Act across platforms, encourage petition signatures, and support the passing of The CROWN Act to help end race-based hair discrimination nationwide.
Dove co-founded the CROWN Coalition in 2019 alongside non-profits including the National Urban League, Color of Change, and Western Center on Law and Poverty to advance anti-hair discrimination legislation and create a more equitable and inclusive beauty experience for Black women and girls. Since then, the CROWN Coalition has grown to an alliance of more than 100 organizations that work together to pass the CROWN Act.
Everyone can take action to help pass The CROWN Act to end hair discrimination in the workplace. Visit Dove.com/LinkedIn to learn more, sign the CROWN Act petition and access free courses that support a more equitable and inclusive work environment because #BlackHairIsProfessional.
CROWN 2023 Workplace Research Study Methodology The 2023 CROWN Research Study surveyed 2,990 female identifying respondents in the US ages 25-64 (1,039 Black, 1,028 Hispanic, 1,064 White, with some respondents identifying as more than one race/ethnicity) between December 2022 and January 2023. All respondents were employed part or full time at the time of the study. The research was conducted on behalf of Dove by JOY Collective and Modulize, both specializing in marketing, data and analytics for polycultural communities.
Burnella Hayes Jackson-Ransom, Ex-Wife of Atlanta’s First Black Mayor, Maynard Jackson, Dies
She wasn’t just a First Lady, but also a highly respected entrepreneur and philanthropist.
Loved ones gathered at Ebenezer Baptist Church to celebrate the life of Atlanta’s former first lady, Burnella Hayes Jackson-Ransom, also known as “Bunnie,” who passed away at the age of 82.
According to 11Alive, Jackson-Ransom served as Atlanta’s first lady after her former husband, Maynard H. Jackson Jr., was appointed as the city’s first Black mayor in 1974.
Fox 5 Atlanta reported that city officials expressed condolences on behalf of Atlanta.
“The City of Atlanta is sending prayers of comfort and peace to the family of Bunnie Jackson-Ransom. The former wife of Mayor Maynard Jackson was an incredible force of her own,” said Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens. “I will forever remember our former First Lady for her lively spirit and the boundless energy she brought to all that she undertook.”.
“I am deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Bunnie Jackson-Ransom. My deepest condolences are extended to her family, friends, and colleagues,” Atlanta City Council member Michael Julian Bond wrote in a statement on Thursday.
Jackson-Ransom was born on Nov. 16, 1940 in Louisburg, NC, where she graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in business and a minor in education from North Carolina College. She filled multiple roles as a PR wiz, marketing pro, educator, and author.
“Intellectual, gracious, and everlastingly beautiful, I feel humbled to have benefited from having known her. Her physical presence may have passed, but the example of her life, beauty, intellect, and purpose remains an inspiration to us all,” Bond added.
She was part of multiple organizations, including the Atlanta League of Women Voters, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the Azalea Chapter of The Links, Inc., the Metropolitan Atlanta Coalition of 100 Black Women, and the National Council of Negro Women. She also served as an Executive Committee member of the Atlanta branch of the NAACP
“Bunnie loved this city and we loved her back. Our condolences to the Jackson and Ransom families during this time,” the mayor wrote.
Jackson-Ransom and Jackson Jr. were divorced by the end of Jackson’s first term, and she remarried to Raymond Ransom, bass player for the group, Brick.
As she joins her parents, husband, and ex-husband to rest in peace, she leaves behind four children and five grandchildren.
