Skin Bleaching In South Africa (Video)
In the U.S. we beat our chests and proclaim, “Black Lives Matter,” “Black And Proud,” even “Wakanda Forever,” and some of our brothers & sisters in South Africa feel compelled to risk breaking the law and getting cancer by chemically lightening their skin??? Sad and shocking…
South Africa’s skin bleaching scandal: Unreported World went to South Africa where the use of controversial skin bleaching creams is on the rise in a new generation. Despite strict laws banning dangerous chemicals they’re widely available and are making people ill. Reporter Tania Rashid met a celebrity who endorses skin bleaching despite the risks and some of those that are trying to end the trade.

Eric Bellinger – “Dirty Dancing” feat. Ne-Yo (Video)
Fun visuals (“It’s rabbit season, homie. Give it up!”) right from the start. A lot of Eye Candy and R&B power packed into the song, too. Another one off the “Eazy Call” album to check for now.

Action-Thriller “The Predator” Gets A Proper Reboot (Trailer)
In theaters on September 14, 2018, expect to hear some hollering at screens; the good, excited fan kind. Seen some lameness in the extensions of Schwarzenegger’s classic, but this one looks like the one that will allow us to collectively hit the reset button and forget about those ‘others.’
From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

And Sterling K. Brown striking while that iron is still hot. And Keegan-Michael Key in there (because why let his partner Jordan Peele grab up all the movie review column space). Ha!

Meet Lydia Dupra, The Self-Proclaimed “Heaux Mentor†Who Helps Sex Workers Boost Their Brands And Business (Video)
Not a pimp, mind you, but a “Heaux Mentor†at the center of what we have here on this ep. of Red Light.
New restrictions associated with FOSTA/SESTA, a law designated to curb sex trafficking, has dramatically impacted the lives of America’s sex workers, limiting the way they can communicate about their work online. Unsure of how to navigate the adult industry’s rapidly changing landscape, a growing number of women are seeking help from Lydia Dupra—a self-proclaimed “Heaux Mentor†who helps sex workers build and manage their brands and make connections. We met up with Dupra for a look at her controversial business, sat down with her clients to hear how she’s mentored them, and talked about how her job and the industry are changing with the passage of FOSTA/SESTA.

Maxwell – “The Glass House” (We Never Saw It Coming) [Video]
Maxwell stands at the foundation of the whole neo-soul movement. Remember that when you ask yourself, “How could this brother bring such spirit into my space and reach so far into the soul of man with a song?”
And the visualization here is delivered with dark suspense. Even in a “The Glass House” so brightly lit, “We Never Saw It Coming.” Just watch to the end.
“Love each other or perish.”
