Makeup Mogul Who Earned $1 Million in Sales in Under Two Hours, Breaks Guinness World Record For Giving Away Most Toys

You can score a huge victory for social media star and Crayon Case creator Raynell Steward, aka, Supa Cent.

On Sunday (Dec. 17) Steward and Jesseca Dupart, the owner of Kaleidoscope Hair Products, hosted their first #NolaChristmas toy giveaway at the Mercedes Benz Superdome, and to say the event was a success would be a vast understatement.

Not only was there a huge turnout, Steward broke a Guinness World Record by collecting 5,019 toys in one hour, which broke the previous record of 3,000 toys in an hour established in Hong Kong.

Dupart shared a video of the women being told they broke the record, which made Steward weep. Steward also received a plaque from the New Orleans Police Department, which she acknowledged in a funny Instagram message.

“Police never game me nothing but charges so you know I’m bucked,” she wrote next to a photo of the plaque.

Steward’s fan’s were also happy about the news and called the social media celeb and businesswoman a true hero.

“This is far past beautiful,” someone wrote. “Y’all are so motivational and goals AF.”

“Ya’ll are breaking records and overcoming obstacles that have never been met,” wrote another. “I respect y’all.”

And if Steward didn’t do enough good on that day, she also gave the volunteers all of the left over toys. One of those volunteers posted a video of a huge bag she received and said her Christmas shopping was done there and then.

“Shouts out to Sup,” she said. “We ain’t gotta buy nothing else.”

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.
