A host of Black stars, writers, businesswomen and activists are set to take over the Instagram accounts of A-list white actresses, authors, fashion designers, athletes and politicians as part of the #ShareTheMicNow social media campaign.
On Wednesday, for one day only, Oscar-winners Julia Roberts, Hilary Swank and Gwyneth Paltrow will be among the Hollywood names in a campaign that will see white women with large Instagram followings using their outsized platforms to magnify the voices and work of Black women.
The brainchild of Endeavor CMO Bozoma Saint John, bestselling authors Luvvie Ajayi Jones and Glennon Doyle and fashion designer Stacey Bendet, the #ShareTheMicNow campaign comes as the U.S. grapples with the repercussions of nationwide protests against police brutality and systemic racism in society.
#ShareTheMicNow organizers said the campaign had four stated goals: “To form a social media campaign that magnifies Black women’s lives and stories. To form relationships among Black women and white women – so that our future activism is born from relationships. To create a network of disruptors who know and trust each other. To create action that could make change.”
In all 46 Black women will take over the accounts of 46 white women, and the total audience reach for the inaugural #ShareTheMicNow campaign will be 300 million on Instagram, according to the organizers.
Amongst the notable take overs, fashion and beauty editor Kahlana Barfield Brown will work with Roberts, actress and transgender activist Angelica Ross will work with Swank, Mama Glow founder Latham Thomas will work with Paltrow, human rights activist Opal Tometi will work with Ashley Graham and Saint John will work with Kourtney Kardashian.
A full list of the Black women taking part:
Alencia Johnson, Alexa Idama, Angelica Ross, Austin Channing Brown, Bozoma Saint John, Brittney Cooper, Candace Marie, Cari Champion, Christina Rice, Deesha Dyer, Devi Brown, Elaine Welteroth, Elle Hearns, Eunique Jones Gibson, Fresco Steez, Gia Peppers, Ibtihaj Muhammad, Jessica O.

Amanda Bynes might be looking to kickstart her rap career. The 34-year-old former child star-turned fashion student took to Instagram late Monday night to share a rare video.
In the clip, Bynes is wearing a grey collared shirt with her dark hair down, showing off her septum piercing and heart face tattoo.
Without any explanation, she raps a verse of A$AP Rocky’s “Forever” while holding the camera.
Some of the lyrics include, “In love with my b**ch ’cause she bi | My ice like the stars, I tell that b**ch, ‘Cover your eyes ’cause smoking’ with me, you go blind.'”
Bynes captioned her post, “Shout out to a$ap rocky.”
Back in late May, Bynes gave her fans a life update, revealing that she’s back at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, working on her Bachelor’s degree. She added that she’d spent the last two months in treatment to help with her social anxiety, which caused her to drop out of school.
She also noted that she’s in “transitional living” and continuing therapy during the week. Bynes said at the time that she’s “Still engaged to the love of my life Paul.”

Farrah Abraham is no stranger to receiving criticism on Instagram. It seems that she’s constantly being scrutinized for her lifestyle, parenting skills, polarizing behavior, and general appearance. Abraham is aware of the massive amounts of hate that she receives due to the fact that the overwhelming majority of activity on her social media pages is negative. Now, the 29-year-old is fighting back against negativity. Unfortunately, she’s doing so in a way that many people deem offensive.
On June 5, 2020, Abraham took to her Instagram page to post a video message about God. In her caption, she shared that she didn’t want “cyber racists” on her Instagram page. “UNFOLLOW ME – I DON’T WANT CYBER RACISTS, Those who discriminate, are racist, hate, hurt others criminally, wrongly fire people, abuse, spread crime & hurt people ON MY PAGE! ???, the Teen Mom alum began.
Abraham then continued on to claim that she was always aiding in progress. “FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTINUING [sic] LOVE, KINDNESS, LEARNING IN THEIR AUTHENTIC LIFE JOURNEYS AND HELP ALL LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES ❤️?? I’M ALWAYS HELPING PROGRESS THIS REGARDLESS OF SOCIAL MEDIA, TV OR PRESS AS YOU CAN SHOW THIS PRIVATELY AT HOME AND FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU TO ALL DURING THIS TIME & KNOW YOUR [sic] SEEN & YOUR [sic] HEARD, ? ” Abraham concluded in her Instagram post.
Of course, this post received tremendous backlash. Though Abraham has since-deleted a lot of negative comments, the general consensus was that the Teen Mom alum was making light of racism by likening it to cyberbullying. While cyberbullying can sometimes include racist remarks, Abraham herself does not receive them because she is a White woman. Furthermore, Abraham herself has been accused of racist behavior, so many people found her post hypocritical.
“Subtle PR stunt!!!! You should fire your ghostwriter!!! The same woman who has been racially/religiously discriminatory and has demonstrated racist behavior on NATIONAL TELEVISION…….. this was very well thought out, ????” one Instagram user declared, accusing Abraham of trying to save face for her past behaviors. Others resorted to simply name-calling the 29-year-old.
Those who weren’t outraged by Abraham’s posts seemed to be genuinely confused. They wanted Abraham to define cyber racism since she seemed hell-bent on using the term in her recent Instagram posts and in her bio. “Please define ‘cyber racism,’” one person wrote. “What is cyber racism? And how many drugs are u on? Did Sophia kill the dog yet,” another critic questioned.
“Girl what is cyber racism,” one person wrote on Abraham’s most recent Instagram post. “I’ve been trying to figure that out for days…maybe I should join her in a butt ton of cocaine so I can figure it out,” another person responded, accusing Abraham of taking illegal drugs. Clearly, Abraham using the term “cyber racism” was not helpful in her quest to stop people from criticizing her. However, we wouldn’ be surprised if the Teen Mom alum used the term just to elicit a strong response.
Hayden Panettiere has an eye looking out for her.
The “Nashville” star debuted her “newish” neck tattoo on her brand-new public Instagram account over the weekend.
“Newish ink #TheEyeOfRa ?,” Panettiere, 30, captioned the black-and-white photo.

Tory Lanez got into a social media spat with Pretty Ricky’s Spectacular over the sampling of the R&B group’s single “Your Body” on the former Interscope Record artist’s cut “Yessirr.” The back-and-forth began when Lanez joked about Akon’s recent collaboration with Tekashi 6ix9ine via Twitter on Sunday (June 7).
“So what y’all telling me is …. Akon gave the #LockedUpRemix / SAMPLE to someone else !?!??” he wrote. “And not me?!???? …… I’m going back to bed man.”
Lanez’s tweet didn’t sit well with Spectacular, who claimed the Canadian rapper/singer didn’t legally sample Pretty Ricky’s work for 2019’s Chixtape 5 project.
“@torylanez you should just stole it like you did Grind On Me and Your Body,” Spectacular commented on Instagram. “Why stop now ….. Just keeping it 2 Virgils.”
But Lanez fired back, “STOLE WHAT ??!? Actually I BOUGHT the rights from whoever signed u and publishes your music …. But I guess you weren’t apart of that conversation. go stare in someone eyes and rub on someone thighs and leave me outta this one …. goodnight my black brother.”
Spectacular then addressed Lanez by his government name and contested the multi-platinum selling artist’s side of the story.
“Look here Daystar,” he wrote on Instagram Stories. “Now you know that’s [cap]. How you going to buy masters from someone other than the masters owner. What type of business you’re doing. I let you sample our RECORDS. You didn’t ask us, you put it out without our permission. And we still let it ride. I could have snatch your song down like you did mines.”
He continued, “After you did some bad business on a record that I paid you for 4 my single but hey I still love and support you. That’s what supporting each other is about black man.”
Lanez responded to Spectacular’s allegations by providing receipts of his sample clearance to The Shade Room. The paperwork displayed an agreement with Sony/ATV Music Publishing and detailed the percentage splits for “Yessirr.”
According to The Shade Room, Lanez said Pleasure P was in the studio when the song sampling “Your Body” was recorded. He also noted P and fellow Pretty Ricky members Slick’em and Baby Blue were originally supposed to be on the record.
Check out the second photo in the post below for a look at the paperwork.
THIS MONTH AND ALWAYS.

If there is one thing we can learn from the queer community, it’s their resilience. While June is a month dedicated to celebrate members in LGBTQ+ movement, which includes Pride month parades across the world, this year is a little bit diffrent. From Covid-19 to police brutality, the past few months have been extremely challenging for minorities. So when you add the inclusion of a community who has historically been at a disadvantage, along with being black, the support towards movements that are not their own truly demonstrates their solidarity.
When it comes to being knowledgeable about LGBTQ+ issues, Instagram serves as a great tool to help you find queer activist who are always enlightening their audience about their community. From model Aaron Philip to activist Kimberly Drew to Hollywood producer Janet Mock, your timeline should incorporate these LGBTQ+ members. From to-die-for looks to community activism to cheeky dancing dancing videos, these are the queer instagram accounts you should already be following.

Tyler Cameron is shutting down haters one Instagram comment at a time.
While sharing photos from his time at a Black Lives Matter protest to Instagram, the “Bachelorette” alum hit back at a troll arguing “all lives matter.”
Captioning a pic of himself and his best friend Matt James, Cameron wrote, “This is my brother Matt James and I will always stand with you. I never will know what you go through on a day to day basis… You have a way of carrying a smile and a contagious laugh that always makes it seem like everything is all good. I’ve seen something different these last couple of weeks.”
“I’ve seen a more serious you. I’ve seen conviction in your eyes to make change and I of course will always stand with you,” he continued. “I will stand with all of my brothers and sisters because this is not a country that is safe nor fair for all people. Black lives matter more than anything right now.”
But after the post was up for a few hours, Cameron noticed a comment from a follower who wrote, “All lives matter.”
And Cameron had the perfect response.
“No s**t Joanne but Black Lives Matter the most right now because they are the ones whose lives are the most at risk,” he wrote. “Here’s an example… I know you have no problem going for a walk in your neighbourhood and have no worries at all. That simple freedom isn’t the same for a person of colour.”
He added, “Here’s another example that might work for you… when people are killing elephants and they become an endangered species, people will say elephant lives matter. It doesn’t mean we don’t give a damn about all of the other animals. The ones endangered need our help the most right now.”
Cameron was one of many stars joining the protests over the weekend, Kendrick Lamar, Usher and Trey Songz were also showing their support for the movement.
