And so the Holiday festivities (including Black Friday and Cyber Monday) have officially started this week, AFROnerdists! We had a brief preemption this past Sunday but we hope you enjoyed our Grindhouse rebroadcast during our brief respite. Ok…so let’s get up, get into it and get involved with the latest Pre-Thanksgiving Day edition of Afronerd Radio’s Mid Week in Review airing this Wednesday at 8pm EST. The topics to be discussed: before there was a POTUS known as Barack Obama, history was made almost twenty years previously with the election of New York City’s first black mayor, the honorable David Dinkins who passed away this week at the age of 93; S4 will reportedly be Black Lightning’s last…..yet, the Painkiller character may be getting a spinoff; latest reports assert that the Black Panther sequel starts filming July ’21 and we have our thoughts (perhaps it will work out according to Dburt’s previous musings); Netflix concedes to comedian, Dave Chappelle’s wishes by cancelling the streaming of his early aughts Chappelle Show; thoughts about Ta Nehisi Coates’ book to fil translation of Between the World and Me:
Dburt rediscovers anime via a fair share of binge watching; a second wave of COVID-19 may mean that the death knell for American theaters; Danny Phantom trended on Twitter and not for the reason fans would have prefered-perhaps it’s time for black cosplayers to hone in more acutely with POC characters and true cultural ownership; lastly, the Bleeding Cool site lends focus on the idea of nostalgia and allegedly not being able to go home again…..enter Hulu’s Animaniacs revival.

As Kelly Rowland prepares to welcome her second child, she’s likely thinking about the ways in which she was mothered—what worked for her and what didn’t in the relationship with her late mother, Doris Rowland Garrison.
She spoke about her mother recently during her appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show.”
Rowland told Hall that she sings about the relationship on her new album.
“There’s a song that’s a part of this record that really means a lot to me – it’s definitely dedicated to my mother because it’s just about giving people their love while they’re here on this Earth and not taking advantage of time. If COVID has taught us anything, it’s not taking advantage of time and people.” Rowland continued, “It’s so crazy because my mom and I had the most tumultuous relationship and now when I’m able to look back at some of her decisions that she made, the things that she did, I realize that we’re all a product of our environment. It’s our choice to be positive. If you don’t like the way the scenario went, or don’t like the way this personality or characteristic is, we have the ability to change it. I just wanted to do things differently, but she taught me so much in her space, in her stage as a mother and I’m so grateful to her for that and grateful to her for her sacrifices. You become a mother and you see why you do or say certain things and some of it is hard to process or understand, but you grow to understand it and I get it now.”
She also spoke about the reaction of her family and close friends (including Beyoncé) to the news that she’s expecting again.
“She was just happy, super happy and excited. When I told Tina [Knowles], when I told La [La Anthony], when I told all of my circle of incredible women they were just supportive and excited and called me every day. And specifically making sure that I’m not doing too much.”
Most excited of all is Rowland’s son, big-brother-to-be Titan.
“That little guy right there, my Titan, he’s the most hyped. This is his baby.” Rowland continued, “His father and I told him, we pulled him to the side and told him that he was going to be a big brother, and he just lost his mind. He literally jumped up and down and said ‘When? I’m so ready.’ Every day he asks me, ‘When does the baby get here?’”
Lastly, Rowland spoke about her sequel to her Christmas movie with Lifetime, “Merry Liddle Christmas Wedding.”
“I think that there was representation. It was a full Black cast and Black director. I was very adamant about that, especially executive producing this film and having a really good time. It was awesome hearing from the actors specifically who are in Canada, because we filmed this in Canada, they were like ‘This is the first Black set I’ve ever been on.’ So to have that kind of feedback and to feel seen. When I was looking over my social media last year it was interesting watching so many people say ‘Oh my gosh I love this family,’ ‘They make me feel so belonged or together,’ ‘My family does this like the Liddles,’ it was all of that. And I’m so grateful that so many people tuned in, and that’s really what happened, so many people tuned in.”

When it comes to Taraji P. Henson, if there is one thing to know it’s that she loves a glam moment. From red carpets to television appearances, the actress is going to always be picture-ready when she steps out. That’s why yesterday evening, her effortless slay was nothing less than expected. The Empire star hosted the 2020 American Music Awards and despite the audience being shrunk down to socially distanced families and friends, she still gave a show.
Last week when speaking to ESSENCE, the actress was anticipating getting back on stage and tapping into her theatre school background. “I love the stage and any chance I get to showcase many of my talents,” she exclaimed. Opening up the show in an iced out nude jumpsuit, Henson kicked off the AMA’s with viral Tik Tok dance moves to songs like “WAP” and “Savage,” by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
Throughout the night, the actress waltzed the stage in couture gowns from brands like Area, Pyer Moss, and George Shobeika. Teaming up with celebrity stylist and longtime wardrobe collaborator Jason Bolden, Henson is speculated to have over 12 wardrobe changes yesterday evening. While award season this year leading into 2021 will be diffrent, Taraji is another host that weathered through this new normal in the entertainment industry.
Check out some of our favorite favorite moments from actress below.
