In Black culture, there are a few artists, athletes, and entertainers that are loved well into death. Icons like Bernie Mac, Michael Jackson, Prince, Luther Vandross, and others live on in the hearts of those who loved their art. While some stars are bigger than others, legends like Mariah Carey and Aretha Franklin made history as technical artists who can not only command a stage, but also perform a wide vocal range. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on Whitney Houston, America’s Sweetheart who carved her own lane with her powerful voice and made history as a legend.

Every creative aspires to make a name for themselves. Whether your talent is painting, dancing, singing, or even performing spoken word, it takes time and dedication to rise to the top and become a household name. Oftentimes you have humble beginnings that teaches you resilience and motivates you to maintain your relevance over time. In pop culture, there have been many people who have attempted to make it big, but only a few have actually achieved fame and glory. Join me as we shine a Historical Spotlight on Beyoncé, one of the most legendary and iconic entertainers of the 21st century.
