Serena Williams’ planned appearance alongside older sister Venus in the Wimbledon doubles is added to Saturday’s order of play.

If you want to trace Cape Verde’s emergence as a soccer power, you might go back to 2009, when the country beat Portugal on its way to a gold medal at the Jogos de Lusofonia.

The Lusofonia Games were a junior varsity Olympics for remnants of a common empire, an effort by the 12-country Association of Olympic Committees of Portuguese-Speaking Countries to mimic the Commonwealth Games or Jeux de la Francophonie, an upstart competition for former French colonies. On its face, all of these competitions were an experiment in geographically unlikely camaraderie — could tae kwon do artists from Equatorial

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is brushing off criticism against President Trump for raking in over $1 billion in cryptocurrency profits while in the White House. “I don’t think there’s an appearance problem,” Bessent told CBS News anchor Kelly O’Grady in an exclusive interview on Thursday, after being asked about the optics. “This is an innovation…

“We all kind of share the same story,” said panelist Ava Pearl. On the live taping of Pearl’s Between Us Curls podcast at this year’s ESSENCE Festival, “there wasn’t a lot of representation growing up,” she told panel host and ESSENCE Senior Beauty Editor Akili King. 

Like Pearl, co-panelist and content creator Hermela Lamps realized early on her hair was different, especially growing up in predominately white spaces. “I come from Ethiopian roots where a lot of women didn’t embrace their natural hair,” she said about the culture of silk presses in her community. Since then, her relationship with her hair has evolved, advocating for doing what’s right for your hair. “Now I’ve learned to create routines that work for this chapter of my life,” Lamps said. 

From hair damage to a big chop, it’s been a similar process for Peal to learn how to care for her curls. “Doing my hair isn’t something that’s a task,” she said. As the founder of CurlyCon and the Between Us Curls podcast, having spaces for Black women to feel their hair is seen, represented, and understood is finally being prioritized in the beauty industry. “We did not have that growing up.” 

But, with dramatic hair transformations weaved into our hair culture, there’s no one way to do Black hair. With both panelists being new mothers, at first “I looked a hot mess,” Lamps admitted. So, “I make a huge point to do protective styles.” 

For Pearl, motherhood ironically made time management easier. “It’s not just our hair it’s our identity,” she said, balancing self-care with her eight month old. As our life grows from stage to stage, so does our relationship with our hair. “You have the permission to wear your hair in whatever form that may be,” Lamps said. “Just show up and take care of yourself.”

When FIFA President Gianni Infantino visited the Oval Office last August, he presented President Donald Trump with a giant oversized ticket to the World Cup final.

It turns out 10 real ones accompany it, raising anticipation around the White House for a much-coveted invitation to the July 19 match at MetLife Stadium, not far from Trump’s golf club in northern New Jersey.

Two people who have attended sporting events with Trump, granted anonymity to speculate on a sensitive matter, say they expect the coveted seats to go to family members and a handful of West Wing aides. Those on
