E nle o (“hello in Yoruba language), to our staunch Afronerd Radio listeners. Welcome to another fact finding mission dubbed The Mid Week in Review–airing this Wednesday at 8pm, courtesy of BTalk 100. Join your “ever lovin” AFROnerdist broadcasters as they unravel the following (mid) weekly mysteries: we continue to decipher more pop culture blerdy/nerdy revelations coming out of this past weekend’s first virtual SDCC Comic Con @Home event spurred on by current coronavirus circumstances; and as expected, it appears that “Hollywood East” dba NYC, is looking to create a virtual NY Comic Con too; picking up where we left off, there were still other topics we failed to address via last Sunday’s Grindhouse show; an Atlantablackstar.com piece reports that investors are subsidizing African startups just not the ones created or helmed by black folk; Arkansas Senator, Tom Cotton has caused quite a stir with his remarks about US slavery being a “necessary evil”:
thoughts about the shooting of rap artist, Megan Thee Stallion and how it really unpacks the notion of larger karmic issues in current corporate black pop music; more musings about the exhibition fight scheduled between retired boxing giants Mike Tyson and Roy Jones, Jr.; just what was behind the budding “comicsgate” controversy involving graphic novelist, Tom King (Rorschach) and illustrator, Jae Lee; yet another new comic hits the speculators market and it’s Catwoman #23 (guess who the new character reveal is this time);
And lastly, maybe it was kismet that as soon as Dburt was revisiting a ’17 Vulture article entitled, “Why Can’t Black Witches Get Some Respect in Popular Culture?”, legendary actress, Angela Bassett lowkey pitched a prequel for her portrayal of famed New Orleans priestess, Marie Laveau in American Horror Story via twitter. Call in LIVE at 508-645-0100.
“Not long ago, I wondered if I’d lost my soul, even my identity, by becoming a machine-and maybe even a monster. But I wasn’t a monster. I was who I’d always been. And my soul is still intact. In fact, now my soul needed the machine to embark on its journey to the next evolutionary step for humankind. It was a journey I relished taking, the only way I could-As Cyborg.”-Victor Stone (Cyborg)

If anyone can teach you how to utilize your home during a pandemic, the rising sister duo Chloe x Halle are the perfect professors.
Though the last few months for entertainers have been a challenge due to most relying on appearances for exposure, Chloe x Halle have utilized their tennis court to curate a number of digital experiences. From award show performances to magazine covers, the sisters have become experts in creating content in the midst of a pandemic and stay-at-home orders. So, it wasn’t a surprise when FENDI announced the brand’s latest collaborators were none other than Chloe x Halle. “Since we can remember, we have always been huge fans of the FENDI brand,” exclaimed the sisters. “FENDI is the perfect mixture of classy and sexy, and we were more than happy to be a part of this project.”
For the first time ever, the luxury fashion house has given complete creative control to the sisters with the creative team of their choice. Shot on their infamous tennis court, the video and campaign images embodies the creativity and modern elegance of Chole X Halle.
“This video was inspired by a song off of our new album called “Busy Boy.” With the playful lyrics, we wanted to mix dreamy scenery to compliment the song and the playfulness of the peekaboo bag,” said the sisters. Known collaborator and Art Director Andrew Makadsi’s ideas met the vision of videographer Derek Milton. Together they teamed up with photographer Julian Dakdouk and stylist Zerina Akers to complete the project. The duo exclaimed, “filming content during quarantine is so much fun because it allows you to be extra creative, and in this case we got to shoot every scene from home in our backyard.”
Presented during the FENDI Fall/Winter 2020-21 Collection in February, the new Peekaboo bag features n accordion-frame shape, to open in to what is described as a“deep smile” featuring inside interchangeable pockets which can be personalized with one’s initials. “What we love about the Peekaboo is how universal it is, we can literally wear it with anything,” said the sisters. As Chole x Halle have reveled in their success, they both are equally conscious about the difficult time we’re in. “Definitely try to remain hopeful and positive during these times. With everything going on in the world, it’s so easy to get down and give in to the uncertainty of the future. But this year 2020 is not over yet, and through the darkest times, come the most beautiful sunrises,” they concluded.
