Hosted by $AUCE BABY new mixes, shows and music will be dropping every Friday right here on our website. You can tune in here. Here's a message from our Founder, Zintle Ramano below:




Kylie Jenner was announced to having allegedly fabricating her wealth by respected media company Forbes. According to the magazine Jenner and her management had forged their tax returns and inflated their numbers to make it on the desired list of the wealthiest people globally. Here are 5 things you need to know about the story:




A graphic video of#GeorgeFloyd has been circulating the internet and we choose not to share it because of its triggering content however, here is the truth: George Floyd was unlawfully pinned to the ground by his neck by a white American police officer. Floyd can be heard multiple times communicating to the officer that he cannot breathe. The officer continues to pin him down with his knee. Floyd then begs for water. He then communicates that his stomach hurts, and neck hurts and begs the officer to move. This would then be the cause of his death. This has been stated by members of the community of a similar incident that happened with#EricGarner. The officers names were Officer Derek Chauvin and Tou Thao.



Here are 7 ways you can help the #GeorgeFloyd Case:

  1. You can sign a petition by Change.org

  2. You can circulate images of Officer Derek Chauvin & his accomplice Tou Thao instead of Floyd's lifeless body.

  3. You can recruit white and PoC friends and colleagues as allies to share the information

  4. You can put pressure on influential celebs who are only posting social media images and tweeting #JusticeForFloyd to become physically or monetarily involved in building a case against officers.

  5. If you're participating in a protest ensure that you protect your safety first currently Minneapolis police have turned violent against peaceful protesters by spraying them with tear gas.

  6. Do not circulate any images or videos that reveal faces of protesters as the police are using that as leverage to indict US citizens.

  7. You can share this article.


President Donald Trump reveals on Twitter that he will

Antifa is a term that dates back from Nazi Germany “borrowed from German Antifa, short for antifaschistische ‘anti-fascist’, in Antifaschistische Aktion (multiparty front initiated by the German Communist Party in 1932 to counter Nazism) and in other collocations”. (Merriam-Webster)


Antifa doesn't have a formal organisation structure. According to The New York Times it draws its members from other movements such as #BlackLivesMatter and Occupy.


Antifa members typically dress in black and often wear a mask at their demonstrations, and follow far-left ideologies such as anti-capitalism. They take up causes such as LGBTQ and indigenous rights. What makes them stand out is the violence.


Why is this relevant today? President Trump is using the recent style of protesting from the George Floyd case to label those who participate as terrorists and could possibly be charged with federal court cases.


This is why it is important to not reveal the identities of protesters online.


That's all for the #WKNDWrapUp if you have any stories you feel we should be covering or would like to share email them to blackafricanandbeautiful@gmail.com
