Latto and her sister, Brooklyn Nikole, served up some big energy at the 2023 BET Awards. On Sunday, the duo showed up in matching black ensembles for culture's biggest night at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old rapper and her younger sister appeared to have the best time as they made kissy faces and struck poses together on the red carpet.
Once inside, Nikole joined her sister on stage when Latto was crowned best female hip-hop artist. Latto also scored a nomination for best collaboration for her "Big Energy" (Remix) with Mariah Carey and DJ Khaled. In 2022, the rapper took home the award for best new artist, beating out Muni Long, Tems, Baby Keem, and Yung Bleu.
Back in April, Latto spoke to Apple Music about the importance of sisterhood not only in music but in life, too. Of why she feels constantly inspired to work with other women in the music industry,...

“The 1619 Project” creator Nikole Hannah-Jones needed just one word to describe what it was like to pose on the red-white-and-blue carpet with Oprah Winfrey.
“Insane!” Hannah-Jones told Variety as she made her way down the line of reporters outside the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on Thursday night. “This was a lot, but it feels amazing.”
The journalist — a “print reporter” she likes to note, meaning she’s not quite used to the “lights, camera, action” style that TV news requires — cut a striking figure on the carpet, wearing an emerald green velvet gown which set off her signature red hair, plus her signature diamond necklace with “Nikole” written in cursive and custom gold “1619” hoop earrings.
Photographers called for her to look this way, that way, and “over the shoulder” as she posed with her collaborators, executive producer and director Roger Ross Williams and showrunner Shoshana Guy.

Four years ago this month, Nikole Hannah-Jones, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist behind The 1619 Project, first pitched the idea for the long-form journalism initiative to her editor at The New York Times Magazine. Since then, the original essay project has been adapted into a podcast, a book and now a six-part docuseries on Hulu in partnership with Disney, ABC and Onyx Collective.
“It’s been so amazing because usually you publish something and then you’re done with it, you don’t ever get a chance to refine it, to expand it,” Hannah-Jones told The Hollywood Reporter at the series’ Los Angeles premiere on Thursday night. “Every iteration of the project, I learned something more, about the history and about myself.”
Kathleen Lingo, an executive producer on the show and editorial director of film and television for The New York Times, said that she immediately knew the project was primed for the screen.

The cinematic adaptation of The 1619 Project, the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times essay series that accelerated the vociferous debate over Critical Race Theory, makes its debut on Hulu tonight. If history is a guide – and that’s what the whole series is about – the documentary series will prove as polarizing as the original version.
