Red Carpet Mini Mogul Fashion Show and Teen Jam

When asked the reason behind putting together the Mini Mogul event, organizer Jamal Hatcher states, “The children of all these moguls have a lot to contribute to society and all have a lane that they have chosen based on their upbringing. I wanted to give them an opportunity to showcase that to other kids and hopefully inspire.”
Yep, they start them out real young. Look at little Willow Smith.

Emskeeology - Race and Politricks
Peace hip hop. Get your minds right. I'm not sure if you feel the same, but i find that anytime election time comes around, whether for local office or nationwide influential positions, some candidate is always telling you to vote for them because they are the best qualified to make eeeeeeverything better. But when victory is achieved, it's more of the same rhetoric. And your heart and confidence sinks right back down to it's original low point.
Many of the current youth generation, specifically minorities, are preoccupied with the antics and meaningless banter of their heros like WACKA Flocka, Lil Wayne, and other formulated, stereotypical images who offer NOTHING of substance to support a balance of brains and bravado.

Nicki Minaj makes her rounds as her album debut "Pink Friday" approaches
I absolutely love the pics that WorldRedEye.com posted up of Nicki Minaj. Nicki hosted a pink carpet soiree at Mansion in Miami, Florida.
Nicki has surely changed her image from when she first came out. She still gives off sex appeal without dressing as provocatively as she did maybe a year ago. Nicki's maturing right before our eyes.... Awww!! Hopefully we'll hear the same on her album.. You know I'm all for my girls doing their thing.
For more pics of the event go to WorldRedEye.com
