2023 was a moment in time for Zillennials. From the infamous Trevor Jackson covers to Black women in sports making their own rules this season. The Girls United team Danielle Wright (Content Editor), Kenyatta Victoria (Lead Writer) and Rhyann Sampson (Social Lead) break down all the major moments of this year.
Kicking it off with the musical triumphs this year, GU spotlights Victoria Monet as one of the major winners of 2023, from her ownership of the color brown to her signature “On My Mama” visual that paid homage to classic Black girlhood moments we loved seeing growing up.
Throughout the conversation, the GU team highlighted the disruption caused online during Zillennial trivia and addressed the elephant in the room of how Gen Z’ers are not up to date on the past superstars their parents listened to.
“These kids have to be taught about these legacy artists,” Wright says. “To say that Gen Z is losing recipes is a little harsh.”
With all the massive moments that happened throughout the year, the Zillennials of GU had to dive into each topic unfiltered to ring in the New Year energy for the era of disruption.
