Even through they probably bougie as hell, this is the kind of institutions that should be common place for black kids/folk in general
Most fascinating part of that article is that they had a private forum and networking event at one of the biggest black owned CPA & Advisory firms in the country McConnell, Jones, Lanier & Murphy Accounting Firm



The members addressed these issues with the 2007 beaus with a series of workshops. Beautillion activities included a mother’s tea at Ral’s Catering, an etiquette workshop at Ruth Chris Steakhouse, a finance forum at McConnell, Jones, Lanier & Murphy Accounting Firm,

Too each its own but I disagree. Kendrick has lots of superstar qualities and Travis almost seems like he’s autistic :yeshrug:
What superstar qualities does Kendrick have?

All I’m saying is you don’t have to be able to light up a room like Cardi B to be a superstar

Someone explain who or what is this Jack and Jill thing mentioned in here is
:feedme:
A cultural program from like the 40s that was created for well off negros. You have to be invited in order to have your children in the program. Would be nice if all black kids had this sort of access to things of that nature.

It’s a black invitation only mother group for upper middle class and wealthier African Americans. You have to be college educated, Financially wealthy to afford their trips & vacations and can provide value. Travis mother met all those requirements. Travis is a legacy member

Kendrick is super charismatic in his music a true storyteller and he still has that Mysterious aura around him,a guy who’s at the top of the food chain but can slide in and out of the limelight
effortlessly

Travis has plenty of charisma in his music. Way more than Kendrick. Making Alien voices don’t mean you have personality in music

The article said his dad was an amateur musician and his mom worked at an AT&T store.
Well Travis has said multiple times his mom worked at Apple and his father owned his own business:

“My mom worked for Apple, and my dad owned his own business”

His grandparents were PHD’s
“I was in college at The University of Texas and I dropped out. My grandparents were extra educated, my grandfather has his doctorate in philosophy. When I dropped out of school, it was the worst man. They cut me off. I was like a rebel about this education life. I was all bad. I was like a kid man, like, ‘Why the fukk are you so damn bad bro?’ [Laughs.]

He went to elite private schools
I went to private school in elementary and middle school, but then I went to public school in high school man. I loved private school. It was like the freshest bytches and all my homies were rich as fukk. That showed me a whole other taste level of life. That’s when I knew, shyt is way bigger than Houston, period. Which influenced me to just like tap into other things, stylistically.

He stayed with his Jack N Jill friends at USC
but I knew someone I could stay with at USC. So I was crashing with my homie on his couch at USC.



:hubie: I don’t know why he tries to change and hide his image. Maybe he thinks it helps him relate to the inner city.
