Angie Stone Funeral Celebration Of Life Service 😭

Angie Stone's friends and family have multiple opportunities to celebrate her historic life ... multiple services were planned for the legend -- and, the guest lists of both are star-studded.

The singer-songwriter is being honored in two separate ceremonies ... one on Friday, March 14 in Atlanta and another the following day in Columbia, South Carolina -- Angie's hometown.


Tyler Perry, Kirk Franklin, Anthony Hamilton, Keke Wyatt, Tamela Mann, Y'Anna Crawley, Musiq SoulChild, Q. Parker and Stout are just a few of the bold-faced names who are speaking and performing at Stone's services.


As we told you ... the plan was always to have two ceremonies for Angie -- a big public event in ATL and a smaller, more intimate ceremony in South Carolina.

A public memorial is scheduled for 11 a.m. Friday at Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral in Austell. A private ceremony for close family and friends will take place Saturday in her hometown of Columbia, South Carolina

Stone, 63, was leaving a performance in Mobile, Alabama, when the van carrying her and members of her crew was involved in a collision on Interstate 65. Stone was the only person killed in the crash.

A pioneer in R&B and hip-hop, Stone was a member of the all-female rap trio The Sequence, known for their 1979 hit "Funk You Up." She later joined the music groups Mantronix and Vertical Hold and provided backing vocals for Lenny Kravitz’s fifth studio album in 1998. 
Beyond music, Stone also had an acting career. She made her film debut in the 2002 comedy The Hot Chick and starred as Big Mama Morton in the Broadway musical Chicago in 2003. She also appeared in "Ride Along" in 2014 with Kevin Hart and Ice Cube and had several small TV roles. Additionally, she appeared on "Celebrity Fit Club" in 2006. 
In 2021, she received the Soul Music Icon Award at the Black Music Honors. Most recently, in 2024, she was the featured vocalist on Damon Little’s "No Stressing."
Stone recorded 10 studio albums during her career. Her most recent album, "Love Language," was released in 2023, according to New York Times. 
Stone lived in Stockbridge, where she was honored by the Stockbridge City Council on Monday night. She is survived by her two children, Diamond and Michael.

SAN FRANCISCO - The number of  black women in Silicon Valley is small.  For some, it means suffering through racial stereotyping - not being able to fully be themselves, explains Kenya Hayes, a veteran Valley executive, now head of comms for North America at AppsFlyer, in this interview with Beet.TV

Wanting to be productive, but self filtering what she says, is exhausting and frustrating. Passion and dedication can be seen as intimidating or aggressive, she notes.

Hayes, who has worked at Rocket Fuel, YuMe and Criteo, urges the industry to put black woman and menin leadership positions,  where they are way under represented.

This video is part of an ongoing Beet.TV series of interviews with men and and women of color, addressing their personal experiences and hopes for essential change addressing racial inequality. Please find additional videos here.

🔥 WALLO’s viral clip about Black-owned businesses really stirred the pot, and I’m loving the conversation it’s creating. 🔥

Excellence is key—we don’t want pity purchases, we want loyal customers who choose us because we’re the best. 👏🏾 It’s about earning their trust and building a brand that speaks for itself. 💯

But why do we get shamed for saying Black-owned when other communities proudly support their own? 🧐

In this clip, @liajones shares how she’s seen an uptick in support, and instead of just coasting, she’s doubling down on marketing and customer experience to build long-lasting loyalty. 🔥

We’re here to build businesses that are legacies, not charity cases. Let’s be the best—and still be proud to be Black-owned. 💪🏾

Today I'm going to show you how to make sushi at home like a pro and for that purpose I have 4 easy sushi recipes to show you.

And I also included an easy sushi rice recipe because I know that this is one of the biggest obstacles when it comes to making sushi at home. That and making the rolls hold up firmly.

Now, I know you're probably thinking that it can't possibly be easy. I mean, you'd have to make the sticky rice for sushi, the fillings, the tight rolls which shouldn't fall apart as they always tend to...

But trust me, once you'll see my tips and tricks and my 4 easy sushi recipes you will surely make homemade sushi like a pro.

So I'm going to start with the most popular, the spicy tuna roll, then homemade salmon nigiri, followed by a delicious vegan sushi with asparagus and avocado.

Then I'm going to finish with a super easy cucumber and salmon sushi roll recipe which is the popular sushi with rice on the outside.

And before getting to the recipes, I must show you a few useful tips and tricks which will not only help you make the rolls easy but also crazy delish.

How to make sushi at home easy - Best Tips and Tricks

1. Which is the best rice for sushi
Short-grain Japanese or medium-grain California rice is the best rice for sushi because when cooked, it gets a stickier texture than the long-grain alternative. The latter usually gets fluffy after cooking which is great for many other dishes but not for homemade sushi.

You'll often find it labeled and advertised as sushi rice. The grains are short, rounded and translucent, with a small white spot at one end.

It's worth mentioning that Japanese rice is often covered in powdered starch or talc to keep it dry. This is why it's very important to rinse it before cooking.

Also, keep in mind that you should use a 1:1.25 rice to water ratio, which means that for every cup of rice you need to add 1 1/4 cup of water.

Now let's move on and see how to season sushi rice.

2. How to season sushi rice
You can season it with a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt.

You'd have to mix these 3 ingredients well until the sugar and salt are perfectly dissolved. Then pour the mixture over the rice and, using a rice paddle, toss and stir gently being careful not to mash the grains.

For best flavor, you should add vinegar to the rice while it's still warm.

3. How to fill and roll homemade sushi

As I said above, a sushi making kit is ideal for beginners because it makes the whole process a lot easier, especially rolling.

I recommend you to wrap the bamboo mat in cling film to prevent the rice from getting between the bamboo sticks. This way, you won't even have to wash it because it doesn't get in direct contact with any of the ingredients.

Otherwise, you'll have to give it a quick wash under running water.

You're welcome! Now let's see a few more interesting tricks.

Bear in mind that the rolls must have a balanced rice-to-filling ratio. If you add too much filling, it won't roll and seal, and if you add too much rice, it'll come out way to bland.

If you're a beginner, it's best to stick to the quantities in my easy homemade sushi recipes below. Once you get the hang of it, you can start experimenting to see how you like it best.

Another trick worth mentioning is when you roll the bamboo mat, apply some pressure to make sure it's tight. If it's not tight enough, it will make cutting a lot more difficult as the filling will come off.
