This debate got REAL!

Does the media show the full spectrum of Black culture, or just the parts that generate clicks and controversy? Some folks will tell you that “ratchet” content is simply one slice of lived experience. Others push back, arguing that the nonstop focus on chaos and caricature shrinks our image and shapes how the world imagines us. But here’s the truth everyone landed on: Black culture has layers, depth, brilliance, and nuance—and it’s past time our storytelling caught up.

Hampton University is rewriting the narrative of higher education. While many colleges struggle with declining interest and post–affirmative action uncertainty, Hampton is experiencing a historic surge — a 46% enrollment increase, record retention rates, new academic programs, major campus upgrades, and a student experience model built on belonging, strategy, and purpose.

WHUR’s 47th Annual Food2Feed Radiothon raised over $61,000 and a truckload of food to support families facing hunger—especially as the federal shutdown and SNAP benefit pause push 1.5 million residents deeper into food insecurity. Powered by generous listeners, community partners, and dedicated Howard University student volunteers, this year’s Food2Feed proved once again that when the system falls short, the community steps up.

Morehouse College has received a transformative $16.5 million scholarship gift from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation — funding designed to close the financial gaps that stop juniors and seniors from graduating. Focused on students who have exhausted all aid options, this investment strengthens Morehouse’s pipeline of future leaders while reducing student debt and advancing economic mobility. The contribution is part of a $50 million, 10-year commitment to Atlanta’s HBCUs, projected to support nearly 10,000 students across the AUC when it launches in 2026. A major win for Black education, access, and opportunity.

Adverse Childhood Experiences, or ACEs, are stressful or traumatic events that occur before the age of 18. These experiences can include various forms of abuse, neglect, household instability, exposure to violence, and other conditions that disrupt a child’s sense of safety and stability. Research shows that ACEs can shape a child’s behavior, emotional health, learning, and long-term well-being — making early awareness and culturally grounded support essential for our communities.

Pull up to our next episode of Grown Folk Bidness, we’ll discuss how ACEs intersect with the education system, the rise in medical and behavioral diagnoses among Black children, and what meaningful support should look like for our youth.

When A’ja Wilson pulled up on The Jennifer Hudson Show, she didn’t just sit down for an interview — she stepped into a moment that lit up the whole room. Her biggest young fan, a little Black boy with a heart full of excitement, finally got to meet the person he’d been rooting for. The second he saw her, you could feel it: awe, joy, and that spark that happens when a kid meets someone who shows them just how far their dreams can stretch.
