North West Is On Her First Solo Magazine Cover And 12 Other Moments Of Black Excellence From This Week
What a week!
1. North West will be on the cover of WWD this month!
The daughter of Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West will star on the cover and have a spread in WWD. This is, without a doubt, the cutest thing I've ever seen.
2. Zandra Beauty, a plant-based skincare line founded by 18-year-old Zandra Cunningham, is now available at Target, Costco, Whole Foods and Wegmens!

Can't wait to mosey on down to Target and get my hands on these products. Congrats, Zandra!
3. Steph Curry used his All-Star weekend funds to renovate his youth recreation center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Instead of having Under Armour, who Steph is sponsored by, throw him an All-Star Weekend party, he asked that they donate the funds to something lasting instead. Way to make an impact off the court as well, Steph!
4. Jacki Shelton Green was inducted as North Carolina's first black Poet Laureate!
