This week’s roundup is all about milestones and game-changers.
From the stage to the streets, we’re seeing Black excellence celebrated, amplified, and taken to the next level. Cynthia Bailey, Towanda Braxton, and Yung Joc all received honorary doctorates, which is proof that cultural impact extends far beyond the spotlight. Meanwhile in Long Beach, 15-year-old twins Chaz and Chase Clemens turned their late-night hot dog stand into the talk of the town with Glizzy Street.
On the business side, history-makers are paving the way for financial freedom and opportunity. Crypto coach Ansylla Ramsey just became the first Black woman to pen a cryptocurrency guide for women over 40, while Nigeria prepares to launch The LaunchPad at GITEX 2025 to elevate women-led startups with funding and mentorship. And in St. Louis, 16-year-old Joshua Danrich landed a Walmart offer for his Mr. Fresh air fresheners, reminding us that when it comes to building legacy, age ain’t nothing but a number.
