If you thought the Oscars were star-studded, then you would have loved the 2024 International Black Theatre Festival’s (IBTF) gala. Fashionably-dressed attendees (some honored celebrities) adorned in tuxedos, ball gowns, and African-cultural attire graced the Benton Convention Center, in downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The ballroom was saturated in purple decorations, the color that symbolizes royalty, in honor of the founders, Larry Leon Hamlin and Sylvia Sprinkle-Hamlin. After a scrumptious dinner, the festivities kicked-off with melodious beats of African drums, the entrance of the traditional “person-on-stilts”, followed by exotic African dancers. This cultural rendition set the stage for the Parade of Stars that ushered in the honorees of this year’s award gala.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Homixide Gang don’t have any influences, they only have original ideas. The hip-hop duo’s music — which is as indescribable as they intended it to be — is a concerted effort to make something “that’s never been done before.” Those Slipknot-style masks they wear in their promo visuals? They’re just for show. Neither Homixide Beno! nor Homixide Meechie, the gang’s members, have ever listened to the Iowa Nine. “We just saw a picture of Slipknot on Instagram one day and thought it was hard,” Beno! says.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, has recently introduced a tiny 8lb dog named Bingo who is looking for her forever home. Bingo is a 3-year-old Shih Tzu mix with an adorable appearance and a sweet disposition. However, she needs a patient and understanding owner who recognizes that "dogs are not toys, and not all dogs love to be picked up right away," explains Sandy Paws Rescue Inc. This little lady requires some decompression time upon arriving at her new home to settle in comfortably.
