DJ Zinhle has often spoken about how reading empowers her and helps her grow as an individual. And now she’s giving back and will be releasing her own motivational book aimed at African women. Called Meeting Your Power, Zinhle told Dennis Ngango the book will be released on June 1.She said that the idea is to help women. “It’s written with the understanding of the African and South African voice – the African women and what she goes through.” Zinhle said she believes in helping other people and this is her way of giving back. “If helping other people doesn’t take anything away from you, you should definitely do it. If I’m given the opportunity to help people and I can, it’s a great investment. Even for myself, because it helps me grow.” Zinhle said that she often reads to balance herself and get away from the noise. She said that it helps her to get a different perspective and she hopes to do the same.

For 400 years? That sounds like a choice,” West told TMZ Live, the broadcast wing of the celebrity gossip site. West elaborated little on his statement but appeared to be drawing a parallel to how he is presumed to hold certain views as an African American artist. “We’re mentally in prison. I like the word ‘prison’ because slavery is too direct to the idea of blacks. Like Holocaust is Jews, slavery is blacks,” West said. West’s remarks immediately sparked an uproar on Twitter, his favorite medium, and he was taken to task live by a TMZ employee who said he was “appalled.” The 40-year-old rapper, designer and h

Only good energy.’ F*ck y’all, p**sy *ss n**gers. Sometimes you gonna have bad vibes, you’ll want people to get the f*ck away. It is life, you going to have bad vibes and have people come through with bad vibes. You can’t cut off everybody because they in a bad mood,” she said in a video. She went on to dish a few more spoons of blatant honesty. “I’m in a place where I’m trying to balance myself, try get my energies alive but you need to watch your attitude when you’re around me.”
