Trigger Warning: This post references a 400 year racial slur that has been used to dehumanize Black people. It also discusses Tourette syndrome and Coprolalia. If a social media post can provide this clarity, a global broadcaster on a 2 hour programming delay certainly could have. CC:BAFTA and BBC.

To be Black is to know that Grace will be demanded of you before accountability ever is.

And that’s exactly what played out on the BAFTA stage.

Yes, Tourette syndrome is real. We hold space for that. Coprolalia is real. We hold space for that. But so is history. So is the humiliation of having that word attached to your name in a viral clip that will live online forever

To Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, Here is the apology you are owed: We are sorry that during a historic awards season of the most nominated film in Oscar History that you have to endure this. We are sorry that the BAFTA and BBC allowed a racist remark to remain in program, while editing out “Free Palestine.” We are sorry to Ryan Coogler - that while celebrating your first Black achievement in cinema in 2026 - your film stars in that very same space can still be publicly hit with The N-Word.

We are sorry that the instinct was to protect the institution before protecting you, to demand your composure instead of their accountability.

The SINS of the forefathers apparently don’t die. They just find new stages to act on.

Two Women. Two Journeys. One Undeniable Legacy.

They didn’t just arrive on the scene; they shifted the atmosphere. Brandy from Carson, Monica from Atlanta. Two young girls with voices that carried a depth years couldn’t explain. Both carrying what couldn’t be manufactured: Presence.

Then came “The Boy Is Mine.” A record-breaking anthem that earned them a Grammy and intertwined their journeys for a lifetime.

Brandy became the vocal bible, her influence still echoing in every run and riff that followed. Monica became the truth-teller, the Southern hymn whose voice rang out like both sermon and street anthem. They didn’t simply chart hits; they authored chapters in the story of music.

Make no error: this new era is long overdue, but it arrives right on time. The reunion we’ve been asking for is finally here, and the harmony of their story gains another chapter.

We’d drop the mic, but it’s always on around here.

Presenting our forever icons, Brandy & Monica, as our Fall/Winter ESSENCE cover stars.

Brotherhood. 

The kind of bond where belief runs deeper than the spotlight, and success is measured by those next to you, so you build together. 

For years, we’ve watched Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan move with that kind of trust, lifting each other up while creating stories that reflect pieces of our lives, our history, and our imagination. 

Film after film, they’ve shown what it means to stand beside your brother and build something lasting. Tonight, they win their first Oscars together for Sinners.

History Made.

This is our tribute to the legacy of Aaliyah Dana Haughton. 

Let’s take it back to 1994, when we first met Baby Girl.

To begin this celebration and give our flowers to a true icon, Mýa takes the stage to perform the song that introduced Aaliyah to the world: “Back & Forth.”
