Not every day needs to be breaking news.

On some days, we’re simply asking: What stories aren’t we talking about and why not?

As you know, the internet moves fast, but real life isn’t always trending. There’s always something important happening under the radar… a voice, a moment, a shift.

That’s why we’re always asking ourselves: What stories aren’t being heard and which ones deserve more attention in future issues of The HotJem Magazine. If you have a story that reflects our voices across the Black and African diaspora, we’d love to hear it.

Every year, the Met Gala drops jaw-dropping looks and unforgettable moments but behind all the glam is a real reminder about the power of showing up with intention. Intention is key in everything you do professionally and personally. At last night’s Met Gala, some of the sistas understood the assignment (Rihanna, Lauryn Hill and Teyana Taylor)!

Those headline-making entrances are more than fashion. They’re about visibility, storytelling, and making sure celebrities presence leaves an impact.

This can be applied in everyday life as well. Wether you’re in the business of media and publishing like we are, media, building a brand, or just navigating your career, the same idea applies as how you show up online, in a meeting, at an event can shape how your message lands.

So the real questions are… How are you showing up? What message are you leaving behind? And do people remember about you once you’ve left the room?

Only you can determine that by being intentional with your brand.
