While this week saw another surge in COVID-19 cases in several states, another increase in gun violence in New York, and a Nick Cannon controversy that has Hollywood divided, the Black community still basked in small opportunities to find joy.
Gabrielle Union and Larry Sims launched a hair care line that caters to textured hair, a Black surgeon went above and beyond to make a patient feel seen, and more brands have stepped up to show financial support for Black creatives in the beauty industry.
