‘Shea Butter Baby’: Ashanti’s Multi-Colored Dress at SXSW Leaves Fans Speechless

Ashanti turned heads on March 16 with her multi-colored ensemble following her appearance at a South by Southwest (SXSW) event in Austin, Texas.

According to its website, SXSW is an annual function that celebrates the “convergence of tech, film, music, education, and culture.” The event also holds conferences and festivals.

In the Instagram post, Ashanti, who wore a long-sleeved mini-dress that incorporated different shades of brown and matching shoes, gave fans a full body and close-up view of attire as she posed for the camera.

Alongside the upload, the singer used three emojis to caption the post, including a coconut, a brown and white heart symbols. As fans viewed Ashanti’s upload, many raved over the star’s latest attire in the comment section.

“Okay Shea Butter baby.”

“The Melanin skin just did this so perfectly.”

“CERTIFIED BADDIE OUTFIT.”

“Bringing the browns together looks wonderful.”

“This woman is a living an breathing piece of art.”

Prior to Ashanti’s fashion post, the 41-year-old announced on Instagram that she had partnered with Web3 tech company EQ Exchange. The singer states that this partnership will make her the “first Black female artist” to co-own the tech company in the upload.

She wrote, “I’m so ecstatic to be the First Black female Artist to be a partner and co-owner of such an Amazing Web3 tech company as EQ Exchange. Focusing on music and NFTs, EQ is built on CELO, the world’s first carbon negative blockchain.”

Ashanti added, “Not only does CELO use the more efficient Proof of Stake (POS) consensus mechanism, but they take things a step further and invest in worldwide programs to save the rainforest. We’re focused on a mutual exchange of gifts.”

Ashanti wrapped up the post by praising her partner Janice Taylor for creating the company and choosing her to “continue the journey & narrative of women’s empowerment” in a male-dominated field.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
