The Black Music Month fete also honored Grammy-winning artist Ciara, music executive Phylicia Fant, creative director/costume designer June Ambrose, media personality DJ Kiss and photographer/photojournalist Florence 'FLO' Ngala.

Breaks Into Top 20 on Japan Hot 100 As the first Black woman CEO of a major record label, Rhone accepted her award from Grammy- and Stellar Award-winning gospel powerhouse Yolanda Adams. In making the presentation to the industry trailblazer — also known as 'The Godmother of the Music Industry' — Adams said of Rhone, 'You are a beacon of hope and a powerful champion for change.' Grammy-nominated artist Normani presented the Avant Garde Award to Ciara, saluting the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/entrepreneur as 'the blueprint for leveling up.' Emmy-winning actress Niecy Nash stepped onstage to honor hip-hop and R&B style pioneer Ambrose with the Guardian of Vision Award. 'She taught hip-hop how to wear its crown — and how to do it in a fresh pair of heels,' Nash remarked. Grammy-winning singer and actress Andra Day, alongside co-presenter/entrepreneur Lori Harvey, paid tribute to veteran music executive Fant (Warner Bros.

They deserve ownership of their stories and the freedom to build their own.' In thanking the audience as well as the evening's supporters and sponsors, Orlando addressed the call to action needed to fight the breast cancer crisis affecting the Black community. 'It is a privilege for me to curate this event to give these extraordinary women their flowers, to shine a light on how vital they've been to global culture and to just say, 'Thank You,'' added Orlando who is also exec. vp/head of specials, music programming and music strategy at BET.

Michelle Obama to release style book to spotlight ‘the way our society defines beauty'
Michelle Obama is releasing a book focused on fashion and style that she says is an attempt to ignite a conversation about 'the way our society defines beauty.' 'During our family's time in the White House, the way I looked was constantly being dissected — what I wore, how my hair was styled,' the former first lady said in a Thursday Instagram post. 'For a while now, I've been wanting to reclaim more of that story, to share it in my own way,' Obama, 61, said, announcing the release of 'The Look.' The $50 book, poised to be published on Nov. 4, is 'a reflection on my lifelong journey with fashion, hair, and beauty,' she said. 'The Look' will include 'more than 200 photographs, including never-before-published images,' according to publisher Crown Publishing Group. It will also feature insights from some of Obama's longtime glam squad, including makeup artist Carl Ray, fashion designers, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway and stylist Meredith Koop. 'I'm thankful to be at a stage in life where I feel comfortable expressing myself freely — wearing what I love and doing what feels true to me. And I'm excited to share some of what I've learned along the way,' Obama said in her social media post. The 'Becoming' author has spoken out before about scrutiny she faced over her appearance and sartorial choices as the first Black woman to be first lady. In 2018, Obama said she intentionally waited until she left the White House to wear her hair in braids. 'The code of ethics at a workplace, as Black women we deal with it, the whole thing about do you show up with your natural hair?' she said at the time. In the announcement about her book, Obama said the project was 'about more than fashion.' 'It's about confidence. It's about identity. It's about the power of authenticity,' she said.

Goodsurf Beach Club Is a Vacation Hang in Dallas With a Menu by Chef Nick Badovinus
When people think of Deep Ellum, several things come to mind: crime stories that are often overblown, the cluster of nightclubs that have taken over the east end of the neighborhood, and its history as a blues hub where Black families settled. What they don't think of is surfing. Since it opened in June 2024, Goodsurf Beach Club — located in a space off Canton Street formerly occupied by a beach volleyball club — has tried to change that. Now, owners Zach Shor, Andrew Limbocker, Joe Pomerenke, and Turner Eakins are bringing in reinforcements. They're making a big splash by partnering with one of Dallas's most lauded chefs, Nick Badovinus (Town Hearth, Brass Ram), to serve up some stellar food to go with the 'quality hang' vibes. 'The fact of the matter is, we didn't accomplish what we wanted to with the menu last year,' Shor says, noting that Goodsurf staff handled the food at launch. Shor and his co-owners learned, after a year in business, that the pickleball courts and surf pool can only accommodate a limited number of people at a time. Therefore, the venue must also be equally well-known as a bar and restaurant, which can serve a significantly larger number of people. That's where Badovinus came in. Shor has been a patron at his restaurants for years. Badovinus's fast-casual restaurant in Dallas, Desert Racer, closed, and his Surf Camp rooftop spot Downtown is open when the chef feels like it — which is very infrequently. So, Shor proposed that Badavonus and his team and his hospitality group, Flavor Hook, create a new menu for Goodsurf. Badovinus not only created a new menu, but also reorganized the kitchen space, assisted the owners in redesigning the dining room, and gave the operation a new name: Quality Hang at Goodsurf. 'One of the things I love that Nick and his team did is taking an item from our old menu and upgrading it, dragging it into a Baja or SoCal vibe,' Shor says about the New Wave Asada Fries. The dish, served on a silver tray, features a layer of waffle-cut sweet potato fries topped with skirt steak marinated in teriyaki sauce and accompanied by pico de gallo, avocados, cotija cheese, and lime ranch dressing. Also notable are the crispy rock cod tacos, featuring fish from the Kanaloa Seafood Market in Santa Barbara. 'I don't think Kanaloa would have taken our phone call if we weren't working with Nick,' Shor says. He predicts that the QP Cheeseburger will be the bestseller of the summer — it's a classic burger with mayo on a Martin's potato roll — but the sleeper hit right behind it will surely be the Ahi Poke Wonchos, a plate of nachos made of fried wonton wrappers topped with chunks of ahi tuna that's tossed in dynamite sauce, jalapeño, radish, and sesame seeds. For those who partake, at least until Senate Bill 3 determines the fate of THC products in Texas, there are THC-infused sparkling waters from Cali Sober, which is based in Dallas, that Shor says go well with a morning of yoga, an afternoon in the sun, or even a game on the pickleball courts, all depending on your fortitude. It also serves margaritas on tap that come out just as quickly as any beer, an array of house cocktails including a cucumber mojito and a hibiscus ranch water, low- and no-proof drinks, and a few wines. Even better, there is plenty of parking space in the lot out front, which is a rarity in this neighborhood. You won't forget you're in Dallas while you're looking at the Downtown skyline in the distance or the mural on the warehouse facing the courts, but you can sure have a quality hang.
