Kaitlyn Saunders, a fourth-grader, took to Black Lives Matter Plaza in her hometown of Washington D.C. and performed a routine to Andra Day’s “Rise Up.”

Saunders also made sure to dress for the occasion, donning a yellow and white leotard matching the large yellow letters that spell out “Black Lives Matter” on the street directly leading to the White House.

According to Kaitlyn’s mom, Katrice Saunders, her daughter has learned about the BLM movement over the past few years, and since Black Lives Matter Plaza was renamed, has wanted to skate across it.

\"She had the idea she wanted to go down there and skate on Black Lives Matter Plaza,\" Katrice Saunders said.

Quavious Keyate Marshall better known as rap group Migos’ Quavo, can now be referred to as a high school graduate according to The Grio.

The Atlanta-based rapper has announced on his Instagram account that he had officially received his high school diploma in the midst of the coronavirus lockdown.

Before becoming successful as a recording artist, Quavo, who was once a star quarterback at Berkmar High School in Lilburn, Georgia, reportedly dropped out early to pursue his career in music full-time.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, in 2009, the rapper was a senior quarterback who reportedly threw three first-half touchdown passes during a homecoming game.

As the quarterback for Berkmar High School, the rapper held the record by completing 28 passes in a game back in 2009.

UMC, the first and largest streaming service for Black TV and film from AMC Networks, is partnering with the American Black Film Festival (ABFF) to kick off a nationwide casting call for the co-star of its latest original production, “Partners In Rhyme.”

A new half-hour sitcom created by “Martin” and “The Jamie Foxx Show” alum Bentley Kyle Evans together with iconic rapper and announcer MC Lyte, “Partners In Rhyme” chronicles the trials of an up-and-coming female high school rapper, social media sensation and foster kid who thinks she is the best thing to happen to the rap game since Cardi B. MC Lyte also stars in the sitcom as a label executive charged with helping the difficult but talented new artist navigate the industry.

“The opportunity to pair an industry legend like MC Lyte with up-and-coming talent we’ve yet to discover is the exact principle on which both UMC and ABFF were founded.

Five finalists will be selected and notified on August 10, 2020, after which they will be invited to participate in the final round during the ABFF film festival, where they must perform a scene from “Partners In Rhyme,” as well as a rap verse in front of an audience and a panel of judges.

The first episode of “Partners In Rhyme” will premiere exclusively at ABFF’s 2021 film festival ahead of its official premiere on UMC later that year.

“It is with great sadness that I have to announce to the fans of the Pointer Sisters that my sister, Bonnie, died this morning,” Anita Pointer said in a statement.

Bonnie recorded five albums with sisters Ruth, Anita and June, co-writing the act’s country hit “Fairytale” with Anita.

Anita and Bonnie Pointer recently released “Feels Like June,” a song in honor of their sister June, who died in 2006.

“The Pointer Sisters would never have happened had it not been for Bonnie,” Anita said.

Bonnie is survived by brothers Aaron and Fritz and sisters Ruth and Anita Pointer.
