Tik Tok Alert On Benadryl Challenge
Health officials are on the edge after a dangerous challenge has taken over Tik Tok. The challenge bears an unfortunate similarity to the Tide Pod challenge of several years ago. It’s called the "Benadryl challenge" and it’s encouraging young social media users to consume unrecommended dosages of the over the-counter allergy medicine. The popularity of this challenge promoted the FDA to release a statement, warning the side effects of abusing Benadryl (diphenhydramine). They

Tory...Read The Room
Malcolm X said “the most disrespected person in America is the Black woman”, he was right when he said it decades ago, and the statement rings even more true today in 2020. In light of everything going on in the nation these past few months, there has been an influx of seemingly performative activism with the slogan “Protect Black Women”; but not a lot of Black women have been feeling protected. It’s known that Megan Thee Stallion has publicly identified Tory Lanez as her sho

MTA Bans Defecating
The MTA is expected to ban defecating on its subway, buses and transit facilities during its meeting on Wednesday. Previously if you were caught defecating on NYC’s subways and busses, you were issued a fine of $100. This fine was mandated to those who "create a nuisance, hazard, or unsanitary condition (including, but not limited to, spitting or urinating).” Granted pooping on the train is creating an unsanitary condition, MTA feels as though they had to spell it out more cl

This was a controversial announcement, considering that McConnell rejected former President Barack Obama’s SCOTUS nominee, stating that there would be no nominations so close to Election Day. At that time, only nine months stood in the way of nominating judge Merrick Garland and the Novemb

Keeping It In The Family : The First Emmy Winning Father/Daughter Duo
In Hollywood, if you do the research, everyone is someone's aunt, uncle, cousin or sibling; it’s seemingly one big game of nepotism. Isn’t it a beautiful thing when family members can enjoy an activity together? Instead of football games and watching movies they’re doing readings and starring in them. Although it’s normalized for family members to belong to the same industry of Entertainment, it’s rare that they’re on the same set or working space, you know, nepotism. It’s an

All The Way Up : Reminiscence Records is Here
As an artist, independence is currency. Not only independence from a label, but also in thought and business moves. There are many musicians who branch off into things separate from their personal music. Whether it’s owning Real Estate, WingStop locations, or Labels, musicians have noticed that it's most lucrative to have something on the side. Longtime New York rapper Remy Ma, has had endorsements and sponsorships but has taken it to another level by starting her own record
