Basketball Wives star Jennifer Williams held a private party in New York City to celebrate the launch of her lip gloss line ‘Lucid Lip Gloss’. Al Reynolds, you may remember him from Jennifer’s divorce party and her bestie former Love & Hip Hop star Mashonda were on hand for the celebration but one face in particular was missing from the crowd: Evelyn Lozada. Perhaps she’s too busy on her new endorsement deal with Secret Kisses or her book deal with Cash Money. Or maybe the retracted Twitter beef was in fact real….
Either way, Jennifer was in good spirits in the company of her friends. At one point she’s seen helping laughing with Al Reynolds – helping him choose his shade….?
Jennifer has worked for some time on this venture and now Lucid cosmetics have five shades named after her favorite places like ‘Tropex Gloss’ for Saint Tropez. Jenn hopes to expand the brand with other makeup products. Have you tried Lucid cosmetics before?
Democracy needs journalism it can trust.
This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.
For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.
Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.
We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.
If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
