“I want to be more like you Breonna Taylor. A better sister, friend, and human.”

• Solange shared a tribute to Breonna Taylor on Instagram to mark what would have been Taylor’s 27th birthday.
• The singer demanded justice for Breonna Taylor, who was killed by police in mid-March.
• Solange’s Instagram account only features two Instagram posts right now, both of which highlight Black Lives Matter.

Solange Knowles is using her platform to demand justice for Breonna Taylor.

Taylor, an emergency medical technician from Louisville, Kentucky, was shot and killed by police after they forcefully entered her home on a “no-knock” warrant in mid-March of this year. On Friday, Taylor would have turned 27, and her friends and family members paid tribute to her and called for justice.

Solange took to Instagram to share photos of Taylor, and to commemorate her birthday. She wrote, “I want to be more like you Breonna Taylor. A better sister, friend, and human. More kind. More positive. More intentional. Less judgmental. Less fazed by shit that doesn’t matter. More dependable and moving with more care, light, and love.”

She continued:

“Your friends and cousin say that you were the ‘show up and never disappoint’ friend… that you would throw all negativity out the door. I wish you were there with them all today celebrating. You should be with them all here celebrating in all your radiance. I don’t know WHERE tf I’d be with out my sisters and reading about your life, I know you were all their rock. Ms. Tamika Palmer, Ju’Niyah, Katrina, Alena, Erinicka, Clarissa, Preonia, Shatanis…. thank you all for sharing her with the world today. I hope we are all doing due justice by lifting her spirit up in light today. Thank you Eva Lewis for writing a piece that illustrated her beautiful power. I want to be more like you Breonna. Happy Birthday beautiful one ?.”

Solange also deleted almost all of her previous Instagram posts, and is using the platform to highlight Breonna Taylor and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga, who have a combined Instagram following of 200 million, announced they’ll be handing over their social media accounts to influential leaders and organizations to help amplify black voices and causes. This comes amid calls for social justice and support for the Black Lives Matter movement after the death of George Floyd, who was killed by a former Minneapolis police officer.

“Starting tomorrow, I’m giving over my Instagram account to each of the organizations I’ve recently donated to, in an effort to amplify their important voices,” Gaga wrote on Friday. “And after I vow to regularly, in perpetuity, across all of my social media platforms, post stories, content, and otherwise lift up the voices of the countless inspiring members and groups within the Black community.”

So far Gaga has featured leaders from the organization Community Justice Action Fund, a nonprofit working to end gun violence in communities of color.

Gomez, who became the most followed celebrity on Instagram in 2016, said she had been “struggling to know the right things to say to get the word out about this important moment in history.

“After thinking about how best to use my social media, I decided that we all need to hear more from Black voices,” she said. “Over the next few days I will be highlighting influential leaders and giving them a chance to take over my Instagram so that they can speak directly to all of us. We all have an obligation to do better and we can start by listening with an open heart and mind.”

On Friday, Gomez featured Alicia Garza, a co-creator of Black Lives Matter, as well as a podcaster and creator of Black Future Labs, a group working to “make Black communities powerful in politics.”

Garza posted a video to Gomez’s feed, where she articulated the importance of police taking accountability after the killings of black people.

“People are in the streets right now because black people are being murdered by police and police are not being held accountable,” she said to Gomez’s 179 million followers. “This is a big, big problem. Everybody is taught that if you do something wrong, you have to make it right. And when it comes to black folks and police, there is a dynamic where black people are being murdered — sometimes on camera, sometimes not — by police and police are not having to make it right.”

Holly Willoughby wasn’t going to let wet weather stop her from barbecuing today.

Dressed in rainproof coat with a hood,  the co-host of This Morning braved the rain to get her grill on this afternoon.

And as well as cooking her family’s lunch outdoors, she was highlighting an important charity.

Holly, 39, is married to TV producer Dan Baldwin. They have three children – Harry, aged 11, Belle, aged nine and five-year-old Chester. It looked like she’d been flipping burgers and a juicy steak for all of them.

Holly flashed a big smile and posted this cute image to her six million followers on Instagram, despite the damp conditions.

Holly captioned the picture: “Classic British BBQ for lunch today… not even the rain could dampen our spirits.”

As well as tagging the companies who had given her the barbecue and the food, Holly posted a link to Age UK.

They are using the hashtag #donateadinner to produce and distribute home cooked meals to the most vulnerable in society.

As TV presenters, Holly and her This Morning co-host Phil are key workers, so they are exempt from the lockdown. They’ve been entertaining and informing us on the daytime show four days a week.

It’s been a busy day for Holly, who started her weekend with a little bit of make-do and mending.

She posted another picture to Instagram of her doing some repairs to her son Chester’s favourite cuddly toy.

Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram have all removed a Trump campaign video from their platforms after receiving copyright complaints, Reuters reported. The nearly four-minute video featured images of the late George Floyd of Minneapolis, who died May 25th after a police officer kneeled on his neck for more than eight minutes. A video of the incident has prompted nationwide protests of police violence.

Twitter disabled the video, while Facebook and Instagram removed posts containing the video. When President Trump objected to the removal in a tweet, calling it “illegal,” Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey responded: “Not true and not illegal. This was pulled because we got a DMCA complaint from copyright holder.”

A spokesperson for Facebook, which owns Instagram, told Reuters it also had received a copyright complaint under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Organizations that use original art shared on Instagram are expected to have the right to do so,” the spokesperson said. YouTube did not remove a version of the video from its platform, saying it did not contain the content that violated the copyright. As of Saturday morning, the YouTube version of the video had nearly half a million views.

It wasn’t clear who filed the copyright complaint about the video, titled “Healing Not Hatred,” which includes images of demonstrations protesting Floyd’s death and a voiceover of a President Trump speech where he says the “death of George Floyd was a grave tragedy.”

Last month, Twitter applied labels to two of President Trump’s tweets, one that used the phrase “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” for “glorifying violence” and another one for being “potentially misleading” about mail-in voting. Trump later issued an executive order governing how websites can moderate content.

For the last week, ever since the killing of George Floyd galvanized the world to confront not just the history of police brutality against black people but our own complicity in allowing it to happen, the social media feeds of fashion brands and influencers have filled up with black squares and statements of solidarity. And like many, I have been struck by how often they feel like a dutiful piece of corporate performance.

And I think about how many other ways fashion, an industry with a reach and economic power that goes far beyond clothes, could redesign its own approach in this particularly charged political and social moment.

I have, for example, been unable to stop thinking about Kerby Jean-Raymond’s 2016 Pyer Moss spring collection, shown at New York Fashion Week.

Mr. Jean-Raymond is part of a new wave of black designers who aren’t waiting for the establishment seal of approval but are simply doing it for themselves — and remaking the status quo in the process. In New York, Telfar by Telfar Clemons; Heron Preston; Christopher John Rogers. In London, Samuel Ross of A-Cold-Wall and Grace Wales Bonner. In Milan, Stella Jean. And in Paris, Kenneth Ize, who is Nigerian, and Thebe Magugu, from South Africa.

Mr. Jean-Raymond has been experiencing several breakout seasons, in part because he has fully embraced fashion’s ability to reshape culture, and he has been using his shows to highlight overlooked black contributions to history and “end the erasure of minorities and people of color,” as he once told The New York Times.

In 2015, Mr. Jean-Raymond did a show that put the Black Lives Matter movement front and center. It began with a 12-minute video about racism in America. He invited the families of victims of police brutality to sit in his front row and put editors behind them. Then he sent white work boots scrawled with names in black marker and blood down his runway; there were tailored jackets and tunics that had been ripped and rent asunder. The artist Gregory Siff live-tagged the clothes as they appeared with words like “breathe.”

It was something.

Mr. Jean-Raymond said it almost sunk his brand. Retailers dropped him. He got death threats. Some editors were mad about their seating demotion. Yet that collection is even more resonant today. It is also a reminder that five years ago fashion was faced with its own failings and did not rise to the occasion.

Today, as then, designers have a voice that is about much more than Instagram, or escapism. Hopefully more of them will use it.

That’s one side of the matter. But not all of it.

Modeling has made what seem like genuine strides forward — models of color open and close shows, the most prestigious slot; they get major ad campaigns, the most lucrative jobs. In early 2015, I wrote a story looking at how few black designers had been give the keys to the world’s biggest brands. This matters because designers control what we see in the end, and they are often the only employees allowed to speak publicly for said brands. Between then and now, not much has really changed.

Rihanna has her own brand at LVMH. Virgil Abloh is the Louis Vuitton men’s wear designer. But while Kering, the owner of Gucci and Saint Laurent and the second largest fashion conglomerate in the world, has made a powerful statement against racism and made meaningful donations to the N.A.A.C.P. and Campaign Zero, as well as starting diversity and inclusion councils for its brands, none of those brands have a creative director of color. Tapestry, the owner of Coach, Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, is the only fashion group with a black chief executive: Jide Zeitlin.

Until the executive suite changes, it is hard not to feel that a lot of the statements and initiatives are still words and intentions, not reality. And we are left with suspicions and investigations: How much of what they say do they actually put into practice?

One of the problems is that big brands traditionally allow only two people — the designer and the chief executive — to speak about their companies. Perhaps it is time to unmuzzle the staffs and encourage them to share their own lived, individual experiences. In its statement, PVH, the parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, did not just take a stand or announce a donation (though they did both), but it also gave space to two black employees (one from human resources, one from marketing). It’s a start.

So is a new initiative from the Council of Fashion Designers of America to create an employment program that it says is “specifically charged with placing black talent in all sectors of the fashion business,” as well as mentorship and internship programs.

The Western Mail’s chief reporter has been asked to step down as a Wales Book of the Year judge over his comments about the Black Lives Matter protests.

Literature Wales said Martin Shipton’s “aggressive language” was “detrimental” to the organisation’s values.

Among dozens of tweets sent in response to several people, Mr Shipton asked why the demonstrations were being allowed to take place during lockdown.

He said he was not asked to explain his comments.

“After expressing my concerns about the Black Lives Matter protest in Cardiff, which undoubtedly broke the Welsh Government’s prohibition on public gatherings of more than two people, I was subjected on Twitter to a vicious tirade of abuse and bullying that lasted for days,” he said.

“Many of the tweets questioned my right to express an opinion, called into question my credentials as a journalist and attacked me on the basis of my age.

“One of my guiding principles is not to appease bullies, so I defended myself by responding robustly to my attackers.”

The disease, he said, had taken “many more lives than the Minneapolis police.”

“I just don’t see what value there is in holding a demo in front of Cardiff Castle about the murder of a black man in Minneapolis,” he tweeted.

“It’s politically naive and virtue signalling”.

Mr Shipton insisted in the tweets he was not condoning police brutality, but had “been demonstrating my membership of the awkward squad by taking on some woke, group-think dogmatists”.

Literature Wales said it “would like to thank him for his work”.

This year’s shortlisted contenders for the competition will be announced on 1 July.
