How the African-American tradition of "Homegoing" will help us to celebrate Kobe's life and legacy...

CATCH - Weekly Essay Prompt 14 - Kobe.jpg
Screen Shot 2020-01-28 at 3.19.44 PM.png

Sports often fill gaps for us that we don’t even realize we have. They help us heal, they bring us incredible joy and sometimes inconsolable losses. While I’ve always preferred sports to movies, its because the characters in sports are real. They control the story lines. They inspire us and make us imagine what it would be like to be a real-life superhero. They give us hope.

I never met Kobe, but watching him was inspiring. Watching him with his daughters, watching him resurrect his relationship with his wife and watching him find peace and success after basketball when so many other athletes fail. As long as sports exists, little black boys and girls, who don’t get to see themselves fly on the movie screen, can see themselves soar on television in sports arenas. And that matters. 

Many kids grew up watching superheroes: super-human figures who possess special abilities to overcome the odds. Whether it was Superman speeding faster than a locomotive, or Spiderman leaping from a skyscraper, many of us dreamed of having the power to save the day. Superheroes give us hope; the hope that we can do the impossible. The hope that we can be great.

But up until recently, for many black children there was something missing in the superheroes we saw on the screen. They almost never looked like us. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, heck even Aquaman, were all white. While we still donned their costumes for Halloween, in the back of our collective minds, we all knew that they were not us and we were not them. I could never look like Clark Kent or Peter Parker. My tightly coiled hair certainly never flowed in the wind like Thor’s. Those superheroes were not our superheroes.

Where the movie screen failed us, sports filled the gaps. Black athletes like Michael Jordan and Ken Griffey Jr. soared above the rim and scaled tall walls to catch fly balls. They were giants, literally, with seemingly superhuman talents to dunk, dribble and hit a ball unbelievable distances. And if we were lucky enough, we’d get a chance to don their costumes too, mimicking their signature moves, flipping our hats to the back and yelling their names while trying to become them.

Like so many fans, I’m heartbroken that one of our black superheroes met his end. But I am grateful to have had the experience of watching Kobe put on his purple and gold cape and let us know that we all are capable of being super if we work hard enough for it.

72 things Rihanna has done since she released her last album, ‘Anti’
ARTICLE+header.jpg
 

On Jan. 27, 2020, Rihanna fans (that is, everyone we know) will officially have been waiting four years for a new album from the singer. Since then, they’ve been sweating, anticipating — and complaining in every corner of the internet — about when they’ll see the follow-up to 2016’s “Anti.”

90.jpeg

Despite countless rumors to the contrary, 2019 came and went with no new Rihanna album (dubbed “R9" by fans) — though they did get plenty of Savage X Fenty drops, magazine covers and a handful of memes teasing the Navy about the lack of music. In the final days before 2020, Rihanna posted she had been listening to R9 herself, further stoking hopes. But the year came and went, and with it any hope for new RiRi music.

With no clear timeline for when the singer will actually share her next album, we’ve put together a list of all the things Rihanna has done instead of releasing new music.


1. Launched Fenty x Puma

And because it came from the brain of Rihanna herself, you couldn’t get a pair of those creepers if you tried.

2. Was honored by Harvard

Robyn Rihanna Fenty: musician, fashion icon and Harvard University’s Humanitarian of the Year.

3. Hosted three Diamond Balls

With the exception of 2016, Rihanna has held a fundraiser each year for her charity, the Clara Lionel Foundation.

4. Started a beauty empire

It’s hard to believe there was ever a time that Fenty highlighters didn’t exist, but thank God that all changed on Sept. 7, 2017, when Fenty Beauty launched.

5. Played a sexy alien in “Valerian”

6. Made a cameo on a song

We got a baby bop with N.E.R.D.’s “Lemon” in November 2017 with just a taste of Rihanna. Sorry but it wasn’t enough.

7. Launched Savage X Fenty

Screen Shot 2020-01-15 at 7.40.02 AM.png

On top of a beauty empire, RiRi launched her lingerie empire in May 2018.

8. Became an ambassador for Barbados

In 2018, Rihanna was honored by her home island to promote education and tourism.

9. Starred in “Ocean’s 8"

We will never forget the perfect hacker Nine Ball. Hack us, Rihanna.

10. Made Fenty into a luxury fashion brand

In spring 2019, RiRi made her own Parisian fashion house.

11. Became the first black woman to lead a major luxury fashion house in Paris

And she gave T Magazine a first look at it.

12. Starred in a film called “Guava Island” alongside Donald Glover

It was nice to see her get serenaded by Glover, but sadly “Guava Island” wasn’t a Rihanna album!

13. Created the greatest fashion show of all-time

With Victoria’s Secret #cancelled, Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty fashion show became the show of the year featuring Normani, Halsey and Migos. Plus it has the added benefit of being available anytime on Amazon.

14. Gave an interview

She spoke! And told the world she was working on a reggae album in 2018. The one we have yet to hear!

15. Shared a video of her working on R9 in the studio

Everything looked real glittery in this video, but we still have yet to see a thing!

16. Revealed she was looking for “balance”

Rih revealed her 2020 New Year’s resolution early.

17. Registered a song called “Private Loving” on BMI

Apparently the song registered in 2019 is allegedly written by Rihanna and Jamaican dancehall artist Demarco. The sound of it still remains a mystery.

18. Named Normani Savage X Fenty’s first brand ambassador

There’s nothing like a Rihanna co-sign.

19. Trademarked “Fenty Skin”

In April, Rihanna decided she was looking to get into the skincare game.

20. Sued her father’s company

Rihanna sued Fenty Entertainment, her father’s company, for “damaging her beauty brand” and claimed he tried to book a 15-date tour without her permission.

21. Co-chaired the 2018 Met Gala

For the Heavenly Bodies theme, she wasn’t just Rihanna: she was Pope Rihanna.

22. Skipped the 2019 Met Gala

Rihanna is the Met Gala so her not being there was an event in itself.

23. Got memorably day drunk with Seth Meyers

Who wouldn’t want to drink a “Bitch Better Have My Bunny” cocktail with Rihanna and get lit?

24. Performed “Lemon” with Pharrell at the 2019 Diamond Ball

25. Released a coffee table book

Rihanna released a 500-page visual autobiography with more than 1,000 photographs taken by Dennis Leupold.

26. Wore a giant scarf

Rihanna bundles up in the cold just like the rest of us.

27. Raised $5 million for her nonprofit

The 2019 Diamond Ball was a success.

28. Received a British Fashion Award

Winning awards less than seven months into her LVMH partnership.

29. Was asked about where her music was

She felt “attacked.”

30. Teased her fans for being impatient about the wait for her music

Again, Rihanna continues to constantly play with us.


31. Posed in lingerie

Naturally, she looks great.

32. Posed in lingerie again

Why wouldn’t she?

33. Advocated for human rights

Rihanna gave her support to the people of Sudan.

34. Showed off the tiniest purse

Before Lizzo’s tiny purse made its appearance at the AMAs, Rihanna flaunted one of her own.

35. Shut down pregnancy rumors

With a bikini and a blunt, RiRi knows how to stop people from talking.

36. Called out Donald Trump

“Donald, you spelt ‘terrorism’ wrong!”

37. Paid tribute to photographer Peter Lindbergh

I would like Rihanna to cradle my head like that.

38. Met with French President Emmanuel Macron to fund global education

Rih met with him at least two times. It’s nice to see her voice valued!

39. Had a street named after her

In Barbados, Westbury New Road in St. Michael has become Rihanna Drive.

40. Left the runway on the back of a motocross bike

She had to show she was a badass at NYFW, of course.

41. Was the World’s Therapist

Over Twitter DMs, she gave one fan some much-needed breakup advice.

42. Heckled Kevin Durant

You don’t want Rihanna yelling “BRIIIIIICK” at you. Ever.

43. Inspired a buddy comedy from a photo with her and Lupita Nyong’o

Screen Shot 2020-01-15 at 7.43.40 AM.png

Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men and lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps plan the scans 

44. Blinded us with her Coachella outfit

Shine bright like a diamond.

45. Designed a jewelry line

Rih designed literal diamonds in a collaboration with Chopard.

46. Sneaked a flask into the 2017 Grammys

It was badass and bedazzled.

47. Posed in front of a headless statue of herself

So meta!

48. Used a wine glass as an accessory

She basically invented wine glasses.

49. Dropped “No More Music” T-shirts

They were $230 a pop.

50. Will be the subject of a forthcoming documentary

Amazon reportedly paid $25 million for the documentary.

51. Photoshopped the Queen of England on her own outfit

But who wore it better?

52. Supported immigrants

We can’t help but stan!

53. Encouraged voting

No one else could pull off a shirt that says “I’m with her” and features Hillary Clinton and Rihanna herself on it.

54. Called out Trump again over Puerto Rico

She wanted to make sure the president saw the Daily News cover showing the state of Puerto Rico post-Hurricane Maria.

55. Was honored with the Video Vanguard award at the VMAs

Four performances we’ll never forget.

56. Earned her sixth Vogue cover

Like the fashion icon she is.

57. Gave us iconic Crop Over festival looks each year

The feathers! The rhinestones! The flair!

58. Turned down a Super Bowl performance

Rih stood in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick.

59. Trolled fans about her ninth album

Such a tease!

60. Was featured on DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts”

The track became one of the songs of summer 2017.

61. Was featured on Kendrick Lamar track

The single, titled “Loyalty,” was featured on Lamar’s fourth album, “Damn.”

62. Won a Grammy

After being featured on Kendrick Lamar’s “Loyalty,” Rihanna took home her ninth Grammy.

63. Called out Snapchat for mocking her domestic violence situation with Chris Brown

“I’d love to call it ignorance but I know you ain’t that dumb!” she wrote in a statement.

64. Got a new tattoo

It was a shark.

65. Purchased a home in West London in 2018

Rihanna wanted to be closer to her Fenty label.

66. Took a photo with an inflatable couch

That couch is so lucky to be graced with Rihanna’s presence.

67. Wished her niece a happy birthday

Majesty was looking especially like royalty.

68. Shared a photo of a Louis Vuitton toilet

A fancy toilet got a special post on her Instagram feed.

69. Posed with Anna Wintour

Nothing says icon status like posing for a photo with Anna Wintour.

70. Insulted Diplo

No one throws shade like Rihanna.

71. Checked into “Bates Motel”

In 2017, Rihanna portrayed Marion Crane in the final season of the A&E series.

72. Just in: She announced a release date for R9!

Psych!
