***** Celebrity Youtuber Chris Sails arrested, accused of impersonating HPD officer in prank to promote concert


A group of Youtube pranksters are facing criminal charges after posting a video of them impersonating Houston police officers.

Christopher Sails, 22, Nyyear Price, 21, Justin Denson, 20 and Devontay Sullivan were arrested Tuesday

after HPD learned of the video that was posted to Sails' and Nyyear's Youtube channels.

According to court documents, the video was filmed on Jun. 13 throughout the course of an afternoon.

The pranksters can be can be heard laughing and following drivers through neighborhoods and residential streets with fake police lights on top of their car.

At one point the group can be seen pulling over a security guard.

"I pulled you over cause you were speeding. I'm just playing, I'm just playing, it's a prank," one of the pranksters can be heard saying.

The men then proceeded to get back in the vehicle and followed another car, pulling it over. The video shows the pranksters exiting the vehicle and approaching a woman, before trying to convince her that they were undercover officers.

"We're undercover police officers. Here's my badge right here. I'm a have to write you a ticket ma'am," the prankster said.

After pulling over a number of drivers, one man warned the pranksters that a police station was nearby and that they should leave the neighborhood.

"Y'all know there's a whole police station down the street; like right there. This is not the right area guys," the man could be heard saying.

Since being posted, the video has close to 200,000 views and over 8,000 likes -- possibly due to the huge following that Sails and Nyyear have on social media.

Sails alone has 1.5 million Instagram followers; Nyyear has 380,000 and Sullivan has 35,000.

Prior to the arrest, Sails was scheduled to host a concert on Jul. 7, at the Underground.

Sails posted a picture of his flyer on Jun. 30, with a caption that read, "Come out to my show July 7th if you in Houston! ❤ click the link in my bio to get your tickets!" Sullivan posted the same photo to his page on Jun. 26.

So, was the arrest a publicity stunt to promote the comedy show and concert?

Many believe so seeing that this wasn't the first time that Sails was thrust into the spotlight due to social media.

Sails became popular by posting Youtube videos with his former girlfriend, Queen Naaija, whom he had a public breakup with over allegedly cheating with McKenna. Sails and Naaija were criticized, accused of sharing the details of their breakup on Youtube to gain followers.

MEECHY MONROE, BLACK CHICAGO BEAUTY GURU DEAD AT 32 (BRAIN TUMOR)

MEECHY MONROE, BLACK CHICAGO BEAUTY GURU DEAD AT 32 (BRAIN TUMOR):

SHE DIED TOO SOON.

**** Meechy Monroe, Chicago blogger on black beauty, dies at 32


After an unflattering but fateful haircut in 2009 led Meechy Monroe to chop off her chemically treated hair in favor of a short Afro, women on the street would walk up to her and ask how they could get their look to resemble hers.

"People would come up to me and ask what I did to my hair," Monroe told the Tribune in 2014. "They'd ask to touch it and I'd let them. I understood that so many black women didn't know their natural hair. They wanted to learn. I'd stop and have a 20-minute conversation in the train station."

Monroe combined marketing skills she learned at Southern Illinois University with a desire to help people and launched a YouTube channel with videos that chronicled her life and shared tips on how to achieve different beauty techniques. That included Monroe's signature look, known to fans as "the Meechy twistout," where she'd section her hair in bunches, twist it at night, and let it fluff into a vibrant Afro by morning.

Over time, Monroe's YouTube channel collected millions of page views and more than 43,000 people followed her Instagram. Her beauty blog and natural hair advocacy inspired black women around the world.

In 2014, she had a stroke, and doctors found a rare type of brain tumor. Her family later placed Monroe in hospice care and she died on Tuesday. She was 32.

Born Tameka Moore, she grew up on the South Side as one of four sisters. "Meechy" was a high school nickname and "Monroe" was partly meant to evoke Marilyn Monroe, her sister Vaughn Moore said Thursday. Her father thought they should use a stage name to help protect their privacy.

"It was cute. It had a ring," Vaughn Moore said.

Monroe spent hours creating videos, testing styles and blogging. Her mother, Patricia Moore, said Monroe was always popular in school and around the neighborhood, but Moore was surprised and excited by how much her daughter's efforts took off.

"I had no idea that her popularity would grow to the level it grew to, and the thousands of people whose lives she touched, not only because of the tutorials and stuff like that, but people soon seemed to have fallen in love with her because of her personality," Moore said. "She cared about people. She loved people."

As her social media audience grew, Monroe began working with different beauty companies. Ken Burkeen, who runs Huetiful, a hair care company based in Atlanta, hired her and her sister Vaughn to essentially be cover girls for the company. When Huetiful launched in Europe, the sisters went along and were recognized in Paris, Burkeen said.

"A lady in the train station was running down the platform…yelling 'Monroe Sisters! Monroe Sisters!'" Burkeen recalled. "I think at that moment they realized they were (not only) influencing and touching lives in Chicago and Atlanta but abroad."

Vaughn Moore said her sister was "the light of everybody's life that she touched."

"People wanted to do more with themselves because of her. They wanted to be beautiful," Vaughn said. "They wanted to go seek careers for themselves, travel, have pets, cook, and try new things because of her and the influence she had in that space."

In 2014, the Tribune profiled Monroe and her struggle with a brain tumor that affects just 1 percent of U.S. cancer patients. Going through treatment changed her speech and ability to write, and took her hair.

Still, she shared a positive message for the world.

"It's just a new journey for me," she told the Tribune. "I've learned to be pretty confident in my skin. Chubby cheeks. Bald head. It's beautiful. I have to show other women — no matter what, you're still beautiful."

Her neurosurgeon, Dr. Leslie Schaffer, told the Tribune at the time that Monroe was "a very exceptional young lady. She's bright and very caring."

"She's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and it's a privilege to care for her," Schaffer said.

That's a point made by other relatives and associates.

Monroe's mother said that optimism was just who she was. She called Monroe "the glue" that held their family together. With four girls in the house, Moore said, there was a lot of chatter and "henpecking."

"She was always speaking positive and she hated negativity," Moore said, calling her a "peacemaker."

Moore said her daughter was resilient up to the end of her battle with cancer. Even though she had become disabled on her right side, she still remained hopeful to the end. Monroe died in a hospice center as her sister, Vaughn, held her hand.

"She was strong-willed," Moore said. "She was a fighter."

******* YOUTUBE DECLARES WAR ON POLITICALLY INCORRECT OPINIONS

Google-owned platform demonetizes "controversial" content


A new “advertiser friendly” policy introduced by YouTube will punish those who express politically incorrect opinions or dare to offend viewers by de-monetizing their content.

The new rules have sparked an outcry from the YouTube community because they are so incredibly restrictive.

YouTube will now retain the right to demonetize any videos that contain, “Controversial or sensitive subjects and events, including subjects related to war, political conflicts, natural disasters and tragedies, even if graphic imagery is not shown.”

“Inappropriate language, including harassment, profanity and vulgar language,” is also being demonetized.

YouTube’s new policy will completely disincentivize YouTubers from discussing politically incorrect topics or expressing controversial opinions because they know they will be punished for doing so.

Many YouTubers make a living off their channel and will therefore be walking on eggshells to avoid the company’s stringent new rules.

The new policy bears some hallmarks of the Communist Chinese government’s “social credit score system,” whereby Internet users are punished by private companies and their peers for expressing unpopular views on social media.

The move is primarily designed to scare away YouTubers from making anti-establishment political content, but prominent YouTubers are already reporting that videos on everything from acne solutions to tips on combating depression are being demonetized because they are not “advertiser friendly”.

“The channels that self-identify as vulnerable by these advertising guidelines seem to be news channels covering sensitive real-world topics,”reports Kotaku.

Prominent YouTuber Philip DeFranco responded to the controversy by vowing, “I’m not going to censor myself,” despite the fact that dozens of his videos have already been demonetized.

Google-owned YouTube is of course a private company and can enforce any rules it likes, but with the advent of such corporations becoming so large (more powerful than countries in some cases), in addition to them insisting on being treated as a public utility, the move is a massive stab in the back for the content creators who helped build the platform in the first place.

As Matt Drudge warned about when he appeared on the Alex Jones Show nearly a year ago, creators allowing their content to be swallowed up by social media ghettos was always going to lead to this outcome.

“I don’t know why they’ve been successful in pushing everybody into these little ghettos, these Facebooks, these Tweets, these Instagrams,” Drudge told Jones. “This is ghetto, this is corporate; they’re taking your energy and you’re getting nothing in return.”

The video below sums up the impact the new rules will have on YouTube unless they are reversed.

****** YouTube pledges to 'fix' Restricted Mode's LGBTQ+ censorship

The company says that filtering out the videos along with mature content was a 'mistake.'

After a post by Rowan Ellis, many people recently noticed that YouTube's Restricted Mode filter consistently blocked videos containing LGBTQ+ related content. Despite tweeting that it is supposed to only filter mature content, users tracked down selections like this Tegan & Sara video that were blocked despite being incredibly tame.

In a blog post tonight, YouTube VP Johanna Wright stated that "we must and will do a better job."

The exec admitted that "...this feature isn't working the way it should.

We're sorry and we're going to fix it." While claiming that only 1.5 percent of traffic comes with Restricted Mode turned on, Wright also said that as a matter of principle, access to "important content and different points of view" should be allowed. YouTube has already manually unblocked a few videos where the system made "mistakes in understanding context and nuances," but she also writes that it will take time to roll out more changes.

****** The Richest YouTube Star of All Time Just Got Fired by Disney


PewDiePie could lose millions of dollars.

If you play video games, or are under the age of 20, you’ve likely heard of PewDiePie. He’s the irreverent YouTube vlogger (or video blogger) who reviews products from Nintendo, Sony-Playstation and the like, while also poking fun at Internet culture.

He also happens to be the richest YouTube star of all time:

Forbes says he made approximately $15 million last year, more than anyone else doing similar work.

In total, his videos have been viewed 14.7 billion times, more than any other individual on YouTube.

And with 53 million subscribers, he has nearly double as many subscriptions as the video streaming service’s next top star.

But this week, the reputation of PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg, suffered a major blow:

Disney, the company that owns the studio that helps promote Kjellberg’s videos, severed its ties with him after the Wall Street Journal reported that Kjellberg has posted nine videos since August that include offensive material.

In some of the videos, he paid two shirtless Indian men to make a video holding up a sign that said “Death to All Jews.” In another, he showed a man dressed as Jesus Christ saying, “Hitler did absolutely nothing wrong.”

which is owned by Google, followed suit, announcing it would pull Kjellberg’s channel from its premium advertising program and cancel the second season of his reality show, Variety reported.

Kjellberg responded to the initial Wall Street Journalreport in a Tumblr post, saying he was “trying to show how crazy the modern world is, specifically some of the services available online.

“I understand that these jokes were ultimately offensive,” he added. “As laughable as it is to believe that I might actually endorse these people, to anyone unsure on my standpoint regarding hate-based groups: No, I don’t support these people in any way.”

While it is too early to say what the lasting impact of his getting dropped will be, NeoReach, a social media data company, told MONEY that losing the YouTube agreement could end up costing Kjellberg millions of dollars.

Many Black women have discovered a new LEGAL way to earn money to help support their families.

Posting home videos on YouTube and making money from ads which play on those videos has provided a lucrative opportunity for Black mothers to remain at home while still bringing home the bacon.

The most lucrative YouTube videos within the Black community appear to be those filled with Ghetto drama from their own families.

So uploading videos of Black husbands and wives fighting is worth big bucks from YouTube and Google.

Can you say watching Ratchet videos on YouTube while exposing family drama has replaced watching Soap Operas on television??

Sounds great right?

Sounds too good to be true right?

Guess what?

It is true however there are caveats.

One day when Ratchet, Ghetto YouTube channels from these Black women are no longer in high demand, will these Women long term suffer consequences by not being able to become gainfully employed?

One day when Ratchet, Ghetto YouTube channels from these Black women are no longer in high demand, will the Children of these Women suffer consequences by not being able to be accepted to good colleges?

At what future risk are these Black Women willing to pay just to earn a lucrative YouTube check today?

I can hear the sounds of REGRET and Ruined REPUTATIONS fast approaching.

After apparently scamming her YouTube Channel supporters out of $12,000 via an GoFundMe account, Vlogger TONYA TKO has removed all "Displacement Diaries" videos and marked them as PRIVATE.

Is this a further indication of Guilt?

I think so.

What TONYA TKO did out of blatant Selfishness, will no doubt make it more difficult for other BLACK YouTube Vloggers who wish to raise money online for LEGITIMATE causes.

I would think that an Adult Woman who changes her underwear on camera before thousands of viewers, while sitting in a car in California, when she should be safely behind closed doors at her home in New York, is most certainly cause for great concern.

Perhaps it's time for Tonya TKO to pay a visit to a Licensed Therapist.

Just one month ago I uploaded a video encouraging all the Haters to stop harassing Vlogger & former NYC Businesswoman Tonya TKO who used a GoFundMe account to garner donations after losing her business and profits to the IRS. 

She communicated to her viewers that she re-located to California to start over and not give up on her Dreams.

Since moving to California and securing more than $12,000 in donations,  Tonya TKO is currently still living in her Vehicle.

I initially thought  Tonya was seeking a permanent place to lay her head at night.

However it now appears she may indeed be running a SCAM.

I hope I'm wrong. 

You be the judge!

***** Tonya TKO Talks Living In Her Car; The Blessing And Curse Of Asking For Help

Tonya TKO is not a household name but she has amassed quite a following on YouTube, particularly among Black women.

Since 2007, over 100,000 subscribers, or “love birds” as she calls them, have flocked to The Tonya TKO Show, to receive their bi-weekly fix of dating and relationship advice, self-esteem boosts, travel tales and good old fashioned wisdom.

Part-radiant personality and part-savvy business woman, Tonya was able to use her platform to not only launch her successful TKO Skin skincare line but also establish herself as a trusted lifestyle brand. She even began using the moniker, “Media’s #1 “Big Sister.”

In spite of her online success, the prominent Youtube vlogger (and New York resident) would earlier this year shock the online community when she announced, via her YouTube channel, that she was homeless and living in her car in Los Angeles.

Through her desperate plea, Tonya TKO raised nearly twelve thousand dollars via aGoFundMe campaign, which was supposed to cover the cost of shelter as well as production costs associated with her new webseries entitled The Displacement Diaries. But after weeks of updates and little change, some folks began to question the validity of her claims. This included other YouTube vloggers who have accused TKO of lying about her homelessness, being mentally ill and bilking her followers out of both money and attention (for a quick primer on the criticisms and allegations, check out this Huffington Post article).

Over the weekend, I had a chance to speak to Tonya TKO about her Displacement Diaries, the criticism and online harassment she received and living through the expectation versus the reality of Internet celebrity. This is what she had to say.

Yeah I know it’s a long piece. But we talk about homelessness. We talk about reaching our dreams. We never talk about the intersection of both. So for those who want to know what it is like, and for those in the midst of the struggle, this is an interview you will want to read to the end.

Charing Ball: The last video I saw, you were looking for a house, how close are you to making that happen? 

Tonya TKO: Well, The Displacement Diaries is a little bit behind real life. There are some episodes that had three or four days in it and published one day after another. And then I wasn’t publishing on Sunday. So actually we are a few weeks behind and what you seen actually happened about a month ago.

CB: Okay, that’s interesting. So to clarify: you are publishing these videos a month after everything in real life was already recorded?

Tonya TKO: Yeah…when you are doing a daily blog, if you miss a day you are pushed behind by a day. If you miss two or three days, you are pushed behind by half a week.

 And if a few weekends go by without you publishing every single day, than you start getting pushed behind by like a week. Because I first started getting pushed behind right in the very beginning. 

I actually started publishing every day when I started to get the criticized after I got the money. Once I got the money, I started looking for a place feverishly and I was concentrating all of my efforts on that. 

So people were like, “oh look. Now she got the money; now she’s not making videos anymore.” Anyway, originally I lost two or three days in the very beginning. 

And then I went to a red carpet event and I lost three days there. So when you miss two days here and three days here, that becomes a week.

Another thing, and I haven’t told anyone this, but there was a Youtuber who told people to flag my channel. 

And so I had gotten several flags on my channel in the very beginning [of filming] and because of this I had several strikes. I was in the process of appealing. And since I didn’t want any more strikes while in the process of appealing, I limited my videos so they weren’t longer than 15 minutes.

 If you look at the beginning of The Displacement Diaries, the videos were 20 to 25 minutes but after I got that strike, I had to limit my videos. So at first, people were complaining, like why are you making these short videos. 

But I really couldn’t tell anyone because I didn’t want the people who were making these strikes, to know that they were having an effect on my account.

So that’s how The Displacement Diariesended up behind schedule… And now that I’m only publishing three days a week, it is making it spread out even more. I don’t know how people do daily blogs. Daily blogs are very difficult. Before I used to do videos that were taped and it would take about three to four hours to chop it up. Now with the music and the video clips and cuts, it takes about six hours.

CB: I will say that the production value on the videos is fantastic. So does that mean you have a house now or is that something you are kinda teasing out for the viewers?

Tonya TKO: Yeah…[laughing]…Stay tuned. Everything becomes revealed. But I will say that the way things unfold is a way that I didn’t even expect. And that everything, whether it seems like a curse, actually turned into a blessing.

CB: So let’s talk about that. Just to recap: You had this really successful skin care line. You decided to quit that to travel the world for a couple of years and write a book. You got home and then what happened?

Tonya TKO: Well, I only traveled eight months. I went out of the country in 2015 to write the book. I went to Latin America and the trip was difficult. So I came back and the book wasn’t written. I stayed in New York for about three months.

 I was just going to the YouTube space in New York; just making videos and really trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the Tonya TKO show. 

And my spirit told me to go back to Los Angeles. So I took care of all of the things I needed to take care of in New York and then I headed out to Los Angeles. When I got to Los Angeles – I don’t know how much of this story you want – I was supposed to be staying in one of the bedrooms in the home of an associate. 

And when I got there, the situation was a lot different than I thought it was going to be. And I was actually sleeping on the couch…

Just to be totally transparent, four days before I was supposed to rent the room in her apartment, she told me her daughter was going to be renting the room instead and offered the couch. 

And when I got out there, I started getting all of these emails from my different banking institutions that my accounts had been levied.

And so I had a few thousand dollars left over after that long, extensive trip. And you know, I hear criticisms from people. But I also hear that the average American can’t go sixty days without a paycheck. And I went July 2014 to January 2015 on the money I had saved after I closed by business. And all of that was taken.

CB: From the government. The Man got you. 

Tonya TKO: [laughing] Yeah, you are so funny. But it is my fault. When I was out of the country, I was not getting the corespondents informing me that there was a problem. And I didn’t close the business down properly. And when you don’t close your business and you’re collecting sales tax, they will average what they feel that you owe.

CB: And it happens. It’s not really unusual for small business owners to mess up with the paperwork. But is the tax troubles – combined with the couch situation – how you ended up in your car? 

Tonya TKO: Okay this is how it happened: The couch situation was just not working out. 

At the same time that was happening, I was at an three-day seminar at YouTube and when I left, I was looking for an [alternative] place to stay because I had to be right back there in the morning. In Los Angeles, it costs about $100 to $125 to stay for a night – to stay at the Motel 8 is like $99 a night. So when I was looking for a place, I figured I would just get some sleep in the car and come right back in the morning.

 So the first night, I went to a construction site and they had all-night security over there. I told the night security that I would be in my car and the security guy looked out for me all night. 

Unfortunately, construction started at 4 a.m., so I had to find another place.

 But yeah, it started out with me just looking for a place to sleep for one night. And then one night turned into two and two days turned into a week and a week turned into almost three. 

And when I got to the 18th day, that’s when I made my first video.

Okay so what happened on that 18thday that made you realize that you should be documenting this? 

Tonya TKO: You know, the original video wasn’t even a documentation. The original video was a plea for help. I was going to the Starbucks daily to make videos and stay in the realm of creative people – because I was in my car. And I didn’t have anywhere to go during the day. 

So it was like, where do you go, when you have no place to go? I was in a new city; I didn’t have a place to chill. I didn’t want to chill in the car because it’s hot out there and during the day. 

And the only place I knew that had free wifi, a bathroom and food was Starbucks.

So, I met a guy at Starbucks and we get to talking. And he tells me that he too was displaced and living in his car. 

And at the time, I really didn’t know where to sleep with the car because I was new to it. 

And I was staying in residential areas and people were going to school in the morning. And I felt kind of weird in my car, parked outside of people’s houses. 

So this guy said that he was parking on the roof of this big box store. So the first night, I parked up there. It was a really quiet night; he was in his car and I was in my car. 

So I felt a little safer. So the next night, he told me that he was going to be spending a few nights some place else. So was by myself for a few days. 

One night, the motion sensors on the street lamps kept coming on. And I heard some stuff outside of the car. And I was frightened. 

That’s when I said, “I can’t do this.”

I tried making a video the day before [that incident happened], asking for help. This was in January and I hadn’t uploaded a video since Christmas. Matter of fact, I hadn’t actually made a video a month before that; I just uploaded on Christmas. And I usually post a video once or twice a week. And this one particular subscriber named Kim who had been following me since 2007, tapped me on the [Internet] shoulder and said, “where are you?” And I opened up to hear to let her know what was going on. I was really embarrassed at first. It’s embarrassing sleeping in your car. 

It’s embarrassing not having money. It’s embarrassing being grown and not being able to take care of yourself. And I opened up to her and told her what was going on and she told me to make a video about it; that I always shared the ups and downs with people. And after she said that, I started thinking she was right; that I should at least let people know what’s going on. I tried to make the video and I couldn’t. And I ended up making the video the very next night, which was the night I was frightened.

I just couldn’t find anyway out of the situation. I don’t make that much money from YouTube ad sense. I just don’t. 

And you’re caught in this weird conundrum where you’re Internet famous because you have all of the down parts of celebrity. 

You know: you have the living in a fish bowl; you have the people who know your face; and followers and people criticizing you. So you have all of the down parts of celebrity and none of the upsides. 

YouTube just don’t pay. Like I seen people writing, “oh I may quit my job and go do YouTube” and I’m like, “no.” YouTube does not pay you enough to make money.

 Because of the [YouTube’s] terms of fairness, I can’t talk about the actual break down of pay but I will say this, you need to make millions of views per month to just barely make it. So if you are getting tens of thousands of views, or even hundreds of thousands of views, that’s not enough to live off of. That’s barely enough to buy groceries with -not rent, not clothes and not take care of your children.

CB: I’m glad you brought that up. Technology has kind of altered how we view people. But going back to the first night that you did the video, was that before or after the GoFundMe? 

Tonya TKO: No, the first video was the GoFundMe video.

TRUMP'S BLACK VLOGGERS SILENCED BY DEMOCRATS & GOP ESTABLISHMENT

TRUMP'S BLACK VLOGGERS SILENCED BY DEMOCRATS & GOP ESTABLISHMENT:

ONLY BLACK VLOGGERS WHO SUPPORT DEMOCRATS RECEIVE INTERNET
TRAFFIC.

Is it a coincidence that during the 2016 Presidential election only Black political vloggers who support Hillary Clinton's campaign are receiving a decent amount of Internet traffic?

No it is not a coincidence!

It's not about using a better camera or SEO tricks, it's about Dirty 2016 Politics and limiting Freedom of Speech.

FYI:  Cable conglomerates Comcast and Time Warner are complicit in this political effort to stifle Freedom of Speech.

In the video above I clearly explain how Democrat and GOP Establishment leaders are intentionally trying to silence Black political vloggers who choose to support Donald J Trump's bid for US President.

TONYA TKO IS NOT A FRAUD NEITHER AM I (SUPPORT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELS)

TONYA TKO IS NOT A FRAUD NEITHER AM I:

FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE TONYA TKO SHOW  &  BLACK POLITICAL BUZZ YOUTUBE CHANNELS.

Sources: Tonya TKO Show, Huffpost, Youtube

The Tonya TKO Online Talk Show was conceptualized in 2007 by a young Black Carribean-American woman from New York City named Tonya Daniels.

Tonya's show quickly became very successful, which encouraged her to launch her next business venture: the Tonya TKO Organic Skincare product line.

Like her talk show, Tonya's organic skincare product line also quickly led to success.

After 5 years Tonya's skincare line employed 8 people and earned her a profit margin of more than $150,000 after paying expenses and salaries.

Tonya was on the road to talk show franchise success when she targeted by the IRS.

As many Black small business owners and Black celebrities have adversely experienced under the OBAMA Administration, Tonya's assets were snatched via false claims of IRS fraud.

Tonya was forced to fire her employees,  close her business and leave NYC.

However instead of hiding away in shame or giving up on life Tonya decided to fight.

She has since relocated to California and is now living in her car.

Tonya used her YouTube channel and a Gofund account to seek help from her supporters.

Not only did she receive financial help, many people also offered housing, food, speaking engagements, paid interviews, etc.,

Despite being labeled as a FRAUD by JEALOUS haters, the support she received has enabled Tonya to move forward and continue to be a lifelong Entrepreneur who encourages other Women to pursue their dreams.

Choosing to use my grassroots online media network (Black Political Buzz) to support GOP candidates and to encourage Black voters to consider another political choice instead of always voting for Democrat candidates, has led many people to accuse me of being a FRAUD.

I've never received any money from the RNC, the GOP or the Trump campaign, yet I've been labeled as a FRAUD.

Ironically most of this criticism has come from Black leaders.

So why am I supporting a GOP presidential candidate in this election? 

Two Reasons:

1)  I want to see a resurgence of Black business owners and since the GOP is promoting a Pro-Business platform, supporting the GOP it seems to be the most logical choice during this election.

2) I am sincerely concerned about the future of our country and the US Military.

If you have been inspired by the Tonya TKO show and the Black Political Buzz media network, please financially contribute to the longevity of both YouTube channels via donations of any amount.

Thank you

**** Black (Women’s) Lives Matter: A Conversation with Tonya TKO

Continued police brutality in an age of social media and video sharing has awakened a racially charged fire in America we know now as Black Lives Matter. The flames have primarily been fuelled by the headline-grabbing deaths of black men including Trayvon Martin and Freddie Gray. But what about the women?

Black women in America today are not immune to the intolerance, profiling, and even brutality of their male counterparts, often targeted in the same exact way. They also face experiences of distinctly gendered violence in the form of sexual exploitation and violence, too often left unreported. 

So where’s the outcry? Where are their names in the protesters signs? Tonya TKO certainly wants to know, and as she broadcasted to her thousands of followers on YouTube, she’s just about done. 

In a follow-up to her November 2015 video, we got the opportunity to get totally candid with Tonya-who is currently facing tough times of her own , living out of her car due to a crazy string of money issues, and still trying to get production started on her show-on some of the issues facing black women today, and hear why she thinks they keep getting lost in conversation.

“We focus our attention on how every 28 hoursa Black person in the US is killed by the police”, Tonya explains. “We usually highlight the Black males murdered, yet some of the Black people killed by police are female.” The roots of this disconnect, she continues, due (at least in part) to “the appreciated value of male life across the globe”. As Tonya sees it, it’s a gender-less crisis, so why aren’t we hearing more female names in the headlines when the crimes do occur? 

Then comes the issue of crimes that do follow gendered, and even racial, patterns. “Every 19 hours in the US a Black woman is killed by a man she was dating or married to, while one in six women in the US in her life will be sexually assaulted; a number for black women that jumps dramatically to one in five,” Tonya points. Horrifying numbers by any standard, and something that triggers an emotional response from TKO, as she then looks to what she sees as the biggest problem when it comes to the community’s response. “We talk to girls about not getting raped, but where’s the conversation to boys about not raping? Why do we place the blame on the victims, finding them at fault because of the way they were dressed? The commonality between all cases of rape is the rapist. If it weren’t for rapists, no rapes would occur.” 

So why, as Tonya so frustratingly professes, are we still blaming short skirts, provocative dresses, or the inability for females to properly guard their bodies? It’s a question that’s even more puzzling to her as she addresses a further underlying issue, in that the general understanding of the crime itself still remains blurred. “I believe many people are confused by dramatizations of violent stranger-rape, when the majority of rapes occur with persons whom the victims are acquainted, and aren’t violent at all”. They instead occur “when consent not only is not given, but also when it can not be NOT be given - like coercion, or when the woman feels she has no choice but to relent and allow the violation of her body.” 

It comes back to, as Tonya ends with, the issues of the country remaining so deeply embedded in a female devaluation that allows a rape culture to survive. This is why she is calling for 2016 to be the year that we all support the rise of the feminine. It’s time for ladies everywhere, in the words of Beyonce, “to get into FORMATION”, and it’s time, as Tonya so intensely pleads, that black women’s lives really matter too.

CURLY PROVERBZ, THE HENNA QUEEN: DON'T SLEEP ON HER CHANNEL

Sources:  Black Girl Long Hair, YouTube 

If you've never visited the YouTube channel of Natural hair/ Health Vlogger Curly Proverbz I encourage you to please do so today.

Curly Proverbz (real name Farida) is from Ghana but currently resides in the UK.

She is married, has children, works and manages a successful YouTube channel.

She is a beautiful, pleasant young woman with a head full of naturally long, healthy hair who shows other women how to grow and maintain their own hair via the use of Henna and DIY Oil mixtures.

**** Farida // 3C/A Natural Hair Style Icon

Introduce yourself!

F: My Name is Farida, also known as Remedy on my YouTube channel and I am from London.

Why did you make the decision to go natural?

F: I have been relaxer free for just over two and a half years. There was a time that I thought going relaxer free was crazy, I mean why would anyone choose that? Boy have my views changed. My mum used to texlax my hair every 8 weeks, however around the time I was due a relaxer she was on a vacation and for the first time in over 18 years I saw some of the texture, which I had previously avoided like the plague. It was a revelation and I loved what I saw.

How would you describe your texture?

F: I have a thick head of hair, which is 3a in the back and 3c at the front.

Describe your styling regimen over the course of the month.

F: I do a three week rotation in my regimen. I do a monthly henna treatment after washing my hair with African Black Soap to strengthen my hair, and always follow this with a moisturizing deep conditioner. The following week I cowash and deep condition. In the final week of my rotation I cleanse with Rhassoul Clay and follow with a deep condition again. This ensures a balance of strength and moisture.

What does wash day look like for you?

F: I prepoo with a coconut oil such as Vatika whilst I lightly detangle. I wash with either Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shampoo or liquid African Black Soap. I then mix up my Giovanni Smooth As Silk Deeper Moisture Conditioner with a tablespoon of my favourite oils – raw virgin coconut oil, avocado oil and extra virgin olive oil as well as a couple of drops of lavender and rosemary. I leave it in my hair for at least an hour with or without heat (my steam without a steamer method). I then proceed to finger detangle and rinse. I then carry out my wash and go routine putting in my Giovanni Direct Leave-in Conditioner and sealing with aloe vera juice and raw virgin coconut oil.

Describe your favorite go-to hairstyle for days when you don’t have a lot of time to style.

F: I just moisturize, seal and throw my hair up into a simple bun.

How do you combat shrinkage?

F: I am not too bothered about shrinkage, but whenever I do want to stretch out my hair I detangle dry hair with coconut oil and place my hair into large twists to stretch it out. Alternatively I use the banding method.

What are some of your problem areas (if any) that require special care and attention?

F: Single strand knots – I seem to be getting more and more of these with increased length.

What are 2 do’s for your texture?

F: Do use aloe vera juice to get curls popping and shiny, and to minimize tangles. Use twists as a protective style to minimize tangles.

What are 2 don’ts for your texture?

F: Do not go for longer than a week without a deep condition and detangle. Do not comb out curls and leave hair out.

Is there a blog/webpage where we can find you?

F: Curly Proverbz on YouTube and Facebook. Instagram: Remz316. You can find videos of my hair journey, wash and go routine and regimen on my channel.
