Here are the Black people on Forbes 2023 Billionaires’ list… #1. As the list continues to grow, it is clear that black people are becoming an increasingly powerful force around the globe. The 2023 Forbes Billionaires List is a testament to the growing wealth and success of black people around the world. Other African billionaires that made the list include Patrice Motsepe and Mike Adenuga. Aliko Dangote-the richest man in Africa-is the richest Black man in the world, with a net worth of an impressive $14.2 billion. Nigeria, for instance, is home to three of the 16 Black billionaires on the list. What is most encouraging about this trend is that it is not limited to the United States. In fact, 254 one-time billionaires are no longer. Ye is not the only person to fall off the list. Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, fell off Forbes’ billionaire’s list after losing about $1.6 billion of his net worth when he lost several business deals following his antisemitic comments. Just as we have wealthier people on the list, there are people who have also fallen off the revered annual list. Her net worth is reportedly $1.4 billion this year. Roc Nation artist Rihanna is listed at #2020, mostly because of her Fenty Beauty brand. The rap icon and successful entrepreneur was ranked #1217 as a result of his several successful endeavors, including his most recent choice to sell his stake in a liquor company. Jay-Z has been named one of the world’s billionaires on Forbes’ list. With a $211 billion fortune, the 74-year-old engineer tops Forbes’ list of billionaires for 2023, overtaking Musk, who was first last year and is now in second place, by $31 billion.Īmong the Black Billionaires on the list are a mix of familiar names and newcomers. The Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially been eclipsed as the richest person in the world by French luxury goods entrepreneur Bernard Arnault. While this is still a relatively small number compared to the overall list of 2,640 billionaires, it is a significant increase from the mere three black billionaires that were on the list in 2013. This year, there are 16 Black billionaires on the list, with a combined net worth of over $60 billion. However, this is slowly changing, as evidenced by the 2023 Forbes Billionaires List which was released on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. It is no secret that the Black community has long been underrepresented in the field of business. ![]() I’ve done YouTube videos and very few of them had gotten many views. You may say yes, but it’s not an easy task, you are growing a brand and video channel from scratch and while their training, I’m sure is good, it will take time.Īre you comfortable with showing your face and potentially doing embarrassing stuff? Because you have to know that it’ll likely require that. While I have no doubt in that these guys provide awesome training, I really believe it may not be for everyone, and allow me to explain why: Reason 1: Are you truly ready to be a YouTube influencer? They basically started off targeting the dating niche for guys and helping them out and since this is a big, viral topic on YouTube, naturally their videos (because they are fully of good content) became more popular. And I have some of my own case studies on YouTube success, one of which is this YouTube tutorial. Being a marketer myself, I can appreciate how they go about it. They have basically figured out a way to capitalize on creating viral YouTube videos. I think Jessie and Kong are marketing geniuses. What I think of Jessie and Kong’s program: I did not rate this program as a result, but the alternative programs I recommend, I did check out, I am a member off, so I can offer a rating there (and they are both very high and recommended). ![]() ![]() Eventually this newsletter, their sales pitch and countdowns led me to find out their program costs $997 with monthly charges and it was a bit much for me to spend money on, especially considering I had already been a member of 2 other programs where I felt I had more than enough info to do the same stuff this place would teach me.Īnd also, I don’t really buy high ticket training programs like this because the other 2 programs I mentioned already teach me the valuable info I don’t need to pay so much extra for.Īnd thus I want to point out that I did not invest in Jessie and Kong’s program, just so we’re clear, but never the less, I did see enough (and know enough because I somewhat do what they do) to give a pretty decent review of their program. Now I entered Jumpcut Academy and signed up for their newsletter. In short, they teach you to become an “influencer”, aka someone like them in that you learn to create your own brand. They know how to create and grow a YouTube channel and make money off it and that is what their program is teaching you to do. ![]() Here’s some examples (screenshot from their site): They cover topics like dating, pickup, business and so on and their videos have indeed gone viral, to the point that these guys now have over 2 million subscribers (clearly they’re doing it right). I discovered this place from watching Jessie and Kong’s YouTube channel. I’ll get into those shortly, but first… Let me give you my experience with Jumpcut Academy 2.0: While Jumpcut Academy 2.0 is NOT a scam, I want to offer people interested in it two alternative programs, one where you can learn pretty much the same stuff, but not pay as much and a second program for people who may not be comfortable showing themselves on YouTube, but still want a good way to make an online business. It depends, and that is because what it teaches is pretty expensive to learn (I’ll get into details) and it may not be preferable for everyone. But let’s get to the main question: So is Jumpcut Academy worth your money? The above image is a screenshot from their site (here). I do now, and I’ll tell you if it’s worth your money or if it’s a scam. I wanted to review it then, but didn’t have enough info. Long ago, I discovered Jumpcut Academy (Currently 2.0). ![]() You can download it at balena.io/etcher/.

The cap goes back on the product, which is a squirt bottle. Once you mix your developer, powder lightener, and lightening creme, you’re going to have a creamy consistency as you see above. I was actually incredibly pleased with the brush this kit came with, and I rinsed it off to save it for future uses. It also comes with detailed instructions, two gloves, and an amazing, sturdy brush you use to distribute the color through your hair. The kit comes with bleaching powder, bleaching creme, and a bottle of developer that you use to mix everything together with. Instead of having the entire bottom section of your hair ombre, it allows you to pick pieces of that bottom half and ombre them instead. ![]() The subtle look on the left side was perfect for me, and I knew I was going to follow the directions for that look. ![]() Luckily, they give you two options in the directions: subtle or bold. I didn’t want my hair to be as dramatic as the cover picture, and I was looking for more of a subtle, blended in type of ombre. The main image on the box is a little intimidating at first glance. The kit I specifically used is 060 – For Medium to Dark Brown Hair. Did my hair turn out the way I wanted it to? Part of being a beauty blogger is getting to test out new, and sometimes intimidating products, so I gave this one a whirl and just went for it. I love the ombre look on dark hair, especially when it cascades into a golden, reddish-brown. I feel that almost any mistake I may make in my ventures can always be fixed (even if I have to Google it!), so I was mostly excited about trying this kit out. As the years have gone on, I am now 100% a DIY kind of gal when it comes to my hair. I used to be incredibly conservative about my hair, never wanting to try do-it-yourself ideas out, afraid my hair would turn strange and unusual colors. The L’oreal Paris Feria Wild Ombre Hair Kit revolutionizes the hair care product aisle, allowing consumers to purchase their own kit to ombre their hair and give themselves the look without going to a hairdresser. I don’t recommend this product.I must confess that I ran the full gamut of emotions when it came to reviewing this product. The comb was nice, so I will keep it and use it in future colourings. The formula seems to be straight bleach, of which there are better, cheaper options available if you just want to lighten your hair. The final step was to apply the conditioning shampoo, which was very rich, and went a long way towards restoring moisture to my hair.Īltogether, I found this ombre hair pack disappointing. The dye washed out well, but my hair was very dry afterwards. Instead there was a stark contrast between my regrowth, and the newly lightened strands. My hair did not look good! There was no nice blending of colours. I left the lightener on for the recommended time, and the end result was very patchy, yellowish, and almost orange in places. However, the colour result was not what I wanted at all. The smell of the dye was strong, but not overpowering. It gave a very even dispersal of colour onto the strands of my hair and allowed me to coat the hair thoroughly. I found this to be a very good method for applying colour to my hair. After you have combined the lightening products, you then coat the bristles of the brush, before combining the colour onto your hair. ![]() The brush is what sets this pack apart from other hair colour kits. The pack comes with an Activating Powder, Developer Cream, Lightening Cream, Colour Conditioning Shampoo, and a DIY brush. As part of the Colorista range, this is designed to lighten your hair in preparation for adding one of L’Oreal’s washout colours. ![]() The dye comes in a white and silver box, with pictures on the front and on the side of the results you can expect after lightening your hair. I wanted to put some highlights around my face, and try to blend my lightened ends into my regrowth without lightening all of my hair. I had a bit of regrowth showing, so I thought I would try this ombre pack. The Under the Comal River Exhibit teaches kids about creatures living in rivers and other waters.

Nonetheless, the C32 AMG was capable of runs to 60 in 4.5 seconds, when reviewed by AutoCar on June 27, 2001, beating the BMW M3 and the Porsche 911. The C32 had a smaller engine than its predecessors, the C36 AMG with the M104 3.6L I6 engine, and the C43 AMG powered by the M113 4.3L V8 engine. While rival BMW M developed the SMG-II automated manual for the BMW M3, the C32 and SLK32 have a 5-speed automatic transmission's "Speedshift" system which now has quicker response (up to 35 percent) to accelerator and shift selector movements. Compared to the standard M112 engine, the AMG version also has a new crankshaft, new con rods and pistons, an oil pump with a 70-percent increased capacity, lightweight camshafts, and stiffer valve springs for a redline of 6200 rpm, an increase of 200 rpm. The supercharger was developed in conjunction with IHI and features Teflon-coated rotors producing overall boost of 14.5 psi (1 bar). The engine is a special version of the 3.2 L (3199 cc) M112 E32, fitted with a helical twin-screw supercharger and water-to-air intercooler. Powertrain consists of AMG SPEEDSHIFT black series 5-speed automatic transmission mated to an AMG 3.2 liter V6 Kompressor engine with an output of 260 kW/349 hp and 332 lb⋅ft (450 N⋅m) 4,400 rpm. However, the supercharged inline-four engine was considered to be coarse and noisy at the high end. The C 230 SportCoupé was powered by a 2.3-litre supercharged, four-cylinder motor. In 2003, Mercedes-Benz added the C 180 Kompressor, followed by the C 200 compressor in 2003-2007 (187 hp), and finally the C 160 Kompressor in 2005. Initial engine options comprised the C 180 (139 PS), C220 (143 PS), C 200 Kompressor, and C 230 Kompressor. The newer 1.8-litre was less powerful but smoother and more efficient than the older 2.3-litre engine 141 kW (192 PS) compared to 142 kW (193 PS). The C 230 Kompressor variant sported 142 kW (190 hp). All of them used the same 1.8-litre engine, with different designations according to horsepower levels, including a version powered by natural gas. In 2002 for the 2003 model year, a new family of supercharged four cylinder engines, dubbed M271, debuted for the entire C-Class range.

Confetti was so beautifully extra holographic with chunkier blue pink glitter. starstruck was a nice pinky fine shimmer. “I swatched starstruck, confetti, and unicorn.

Read on for the best sunscreens for face you’ll want to stock up on all year long. To help you find the best face sunscreens for every skin type, we polled dermatologists for their top picks, scoured popular retailers for bestsellers with rave reviews, plus asked Glamour staffers for their favorites. And don’t forget to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. Water-resistance is also key, especially if you have plans to exercise or swim. Chemical sunscreens-powered by active ingredients like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octisalate, octocrylene, homosalate, and octinoxate-are easier to rub in and work like a sponge to absorb the sun’s rays rather than deflect them.Įither way, dermatologists say it’s important to look for a broad-spectrum formula (that means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays) with an SPF 30 or higher. The downside: The active ingredients-zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide-tend to leave a white cast on skin. Generally, experts recommend the former for those with sensitive skin, which acts as a, well, physical block that shields skin from harmful UV rays, says Sonia Batra, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and cohost of The Doctors. There are two types of sunscreen: physical and chemical.
