85 South Show: Trap Comedy

The 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards brought forth a ton of laughs. The hosts of the 85 South Show, Karlous Miller, DC Young Fly, and Chico Bean showcased their fun-loving style on stage as they hosted the annual ceremony.

As expected, the comedy trio did a great job as hosts, and hopefully, they’ll return in the coming years. This was a very symbolic representation of the trajectory that their careers are heading in the right direction.

Supriya Lele: A Whirlwind of Inspiration

Young fashion designer, Supriya Lele is a rising star to watch as she connects three worlds of fashion into elegant, flirty, must-have looks. In her designs, we see reflections of edgy 90s grunge, traditional Indian techniques with a crisp modern finish draped and perfected across her eponymous brand Supriya Lele. The emerging icon grew up in the UK to a family of doctors as a second-generation immigrant originating from India. Supriya began her college journey with uncertainty and a fear of disappointing her practical, successful parents, with skepticism to pursue her creative passions.
