@hopegiselle almost didn’t submit ‘Not Your Averag @hopegiselle almost didn’t submit ‘Not Your Average Girl’ to the 2026 ESSENCE Film Festival. She worried audiences wouldn’t connect with a story about a trans woman that wasn’t centered on trauma, shame, or stereotypes. Instead, she submitted it anyway. The result? 🏆 Best Documentary Film at the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture. Comment for full link sent directly to you. #NotYourAverageGirl #ESSENCEFest #BlackCreators #Filmmaking
After years away from releasing music, @daley retu After years away from releasing music, @daley returned with a renewed perspective, opening up about personal loss, growth and the journey that led to his latest chapter. “I had to take some time and figure out how to stay inspired.” Now, with “Lavender” and “Slide” released, he’s entering a new chapter—one built on patience, healing and purpose. 🎙️ Watch our full conversation from the 2026 ESSENCE Festival of Culture. #Daley #EssenceFest #ESSENCEFestival #Healing #InquisitiveCarter
Over #EssenceFest weekend, @raheem_devaughn opened Over #EssenceFest weekend, @raheem_devaughn opened up about becoming the voice of WHUR’s iconic The Quiet Storm and why he sees himself as a steward, not the star, of one of Black radio’s most influential brands. “I don’t think anybody could be bigger than the brand.” He also reminded us where it all began, giving flowers to Cathy Hughes, Melvin Lindsey, and WHUR for creating a format that has inspired radio stations around the world. A masterclass in humility, gratitude and protecting Black cultural institutions. 🎙️ Full conversation available now. #RaheemDeVaughn #TheQuietStorm #WHUR #HowardUniversity

Yall saw the latest #RHOA episode last night? Ther Yall saw the latest #RHOA episode last night? There’s always more to the story than what makes the final edit. 🍑 After years of appearing on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, @shameamorton says becoming a full-time Housewife has given her the opportunity to share more of who she really is. “It’s exciting that I get to showcase my family, my love for fashion, food, fun, fitness... all the things,” she shared. She also acknowledged the reality of reality TV: “A lot of times it gets edited down. You don’t get to see much. You see a lot of fighting.” Still, she’s grateful that RHOA has become a platform to highlight the parts of her life that matter most. 🎥 Full interview available on YouTube and InquisitiveCarter.com. #ShameaMorton #RealHousewivesOfAtlanta #BravoTV EssenceFest
