The 67th annual Grammy Awards were held on Sunday, February 2, as a love letter to Los Angeles. The city was recently hit by massive wildfires that destroyed numerous homes owned by celebrities and ordinary people.

The Grammys partnered with MusiCares, and CNN reported that the award show raised at least $7 million in aid for those affected by the wildfires. Trevor Noah hosted the show, which had some stand-out moments throughout the night.


Doechii gave an amazing performance of "Catfish," and her latest single, "Denial is a River." She also got emotional after winning Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal. She is the third female rapper to win in the category, and Cardi B, who previously won, presented her with the award.

"I know that there is some Black girl out there—so many Black women out there—that are watching me right now, and I want to tell you: 'You can do it.," she said during her acceptance speech. "Anything is possible. Don't allow anybody to project any stereotypes on you, tell you that you can't be here, that you're too dark, that you're not smart enough, or that you're too dramatic or you're too loud. You are exactly who you need to be, and I am a testimony."

It was also a big night for Beyoncé, who won three Grammys: Best Country Album for Cowboy Carter, Best Country Duo/ Group Performance for "II Most Wanted" with Miley Cyrus, and Album of the Year. The beloved artist has been nominated for Album of the Year five times.

Bey accepted the coveted Album of the Year award with her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, by her side. “I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years,” she said. “And I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work.”

Luxury Hairstylist On Viral 'Hey Boo' Texts & Professionalism In The Hair Industry

As Black women, our hair is our crowning glory - whether we paid for it or not. We take pride in how we wear and take care of our hair. As with everything, hair care and hair styling have evolved over the years. Long gone are the days of Blue Magic (although I hear it’s making a comeback).

Now, we have a plethora of creams, oils, conditioners, shampoos, and stylists to choose from. Beyond wearing our natural curls, we have a range of options, from wigs and sew-ins to tape-ins, I-tips, and K-tips. So much choice! But you know what they say about too much of a good thing...

Plot Twist: How About Going 'Boysober' For Valentine's Day?

Single on Valentine’s Day — and just for the record, in this instance, what I mean is being someone who doesn’t have any date plans for the day. Let me start off by saying that if that causes you to “feel some type of way” and the way ain’t good, Pew Research says that we’re currently living in a time where almost 60 percent of singles actually aren’t looking to date.

The layers behind that, we can get into at another time. The reason why I thought that it was valid today is because I think a lot of single people struggle with Valentine’s Day because they think they are the only one without someone when that absolutely couldn’t be further from the truth. Then there’s the approach that they take on the day — basically, they just wish that it would be the fastest day of the year so that they could get on with their lives. #lesigh
