If you’ve ever been lucky enough—or unlucky enough depending on how you view it—to be backstage at a fashion week show, then you know how hectic it gets and how difficult it is to get a moment with the teams that fuel the hair and makeup for these productions.

For him, the platform is sort of a love letter to creatives for the work they do, and a way to help them become household names like the artists they serve.

More than 100 young people, mainly secondary school students, zoomed in from around the country last Sunday night to watch the Finale Monologue Challenge online.
Organised by the Nairobi Performing Arts Studio (NPAS), with an endorsement from the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage, the Challenge was the culmination of a month-long series of free online performing arts classes run specifically for Kenyan high school-age youth.
“The interest was so high that we had to open four acting classes and two singing ones,” says Nash who has produced and directed shows such as Annie, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar and Caucasian Chalk Circle among others since coming to Kenya initially at the request of one local private school.
Thanks to the popularity and success of Nash’s experiment in online theatre instruction, there will be a second series starting June 15 with registration opening from June 7th.

West happily announced on Twitter today (Jun.26) his new collaboration between his YEEZY fashion line and the GAP.
While not revealing too much, the “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” rapper shared a photo of the aesthetic, and it’s basically his signature plain look using his favorite classic fashion staples hoodies, cargo pants, quilted jackets, and accessories.
West captioned the photo #WESTDAYEVER, signaling he is happy about the collaboration and the fact he just got closer to becoming the “Steve Jobs of GAP.”
In 2009 it was rumored that West became an intern at the company and shadowed behind Patrick Robinson, who was creative director at the time.
Yeezy spoke about his time with Robinson at the GAP, where he just hung out and worked GAP for free in an interview with 99.6 NOW!

It was late on the first Tuesday in November, and Captain Hussen Besheir, an Ethiopian federal soldier, was on duty at a guard post outside the military camp in Dansha.
It was close to midnight when he saw headlights approaching.
Ten armed members of the Tigrayan special forces got out of the vehicle and demanded to see the camp's commander.
\"'We're not here for you',\" Hussen recalled them saying. \"'We want to talk to the leaders.'\"
Hussen refused. An argument ensued and gunfire rang out.
They were the first shots in a conflict that has since engulfed northern Ethiopia's Tigray region, killing many hundreds of people and forcing tens of thousands from their homes.
This week AFP visited the Dansha barracks, home to the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Command of the Ethiopian military, after gaining rare access to Tigray, where a near-complete communications blackout has been in place since the fighting began.
Shell casings littered the camp's grounds, and bullet holes were punched in the walls of buildings and sides of military trucks.
A metal sign at the entrance reading, \"We need to protect the constitution from anti-development forces and lead our country to renaissance,\" was so perforated with gunfire as to be almost illegible.
'Betrayal'
Hussen and others described hours-long rifle and grenade battles against fighters loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), including special forces and militiamen, joined by some federal soldiers of Tigrayan ethnicity who turned against their comrades.
Echoing a statement from Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Hussen said soldiers \"were killed in their pyjamas\", adding, \"What happened here is even worse than that.\"
\"Betrayal alone wouldn't describe the feeling that I have. These are soldiers who have been eating and drinking with us,\" he said of those former federal troops who allegedly turned their guns against them.
The government in Addis Ababa has claimed the attack on Dansha - and a simultaneous assault on another barracks in the regional capital Mekele - as justification for its military offensive in Tigray since November 4.
It points to an interview on Tigrayan media in which a prominent TPLF supporter, said a pre-emptive strike was \"imperative\".
\"Should we be waiting for them to launch attacks first? No,\" said Sekuture Getachew, in the interview, which Abiy's office has called a \"confession\".
Confrontation between Abiy and the TPLF was a long time coming. The TPLF dominated Ethiopian politics for nearly three decades until anti-government protests swept Abiy to power in 2018.
Since then the TPLF has complained of being sidelined and scapegoated for the country's woes.
The rift widened after Ethiopia postponed national elections because of the coronavirus pandemic. Tigray went ahead with its own vote, then branded Abiy an illegitimate ruler.

By MICHAEL BALSAMO Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department is quietly amending its execution protocols, no longer requiring federal death sentences to be carried out by lethal injection and clearing the way to use other methods like firing squads and poison gas. The amended rule, published Friday in the Federal Register, allows the U.S. government to conduct executions by lethal injection or use 'any other manner prescribed by the law of the state in which the sentence was imposed.' A number of states allow other methods of execution, including electrocution, inhaling nitrogen gas or death by firing squad. […]

BY CHARLES LAITON HIGH Court judge Justice Pisirayi Kwenda today ruled in favour of the late fitness trainer, video vixen and model Michelle “Moana” Amuli’s father, Ishmael and allowed him to bury his daughter at Warren Hills cemetery as opposed to Zororo cemetery. The ruling by Justice Kwenda came about after Moana’s mother, Yolanda Kuvaoga had petitioned the court seeking an order to cancel the burial order which the deceased father, had obtained to lay his daughter to rest two weeks ago. Moana who died in a horrific accident three weeks ago that also claimed the lives of socialite Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure, Malawian businessman Limumba Karim and Mozambican model Alicha Adams will be buried tomorrow, according to a family spokesperson, Yussuf Binali. “The validity of the burial order in first respondent’s (Ishmael Amuli) possession designating Warren Hills as the deceased’s final resting place has been confirmed by this court and the second respondent (Registrar of Births and Deaths) cannot validly issue another burial order,” Justice Kwenda said. In his detailed judgment Justice Kwenda also castigated Moana’s mother, Yolanda Kuvaoga, for over emphasising her late daughter’s secular habits on a mistaken belief that it gave her an elevated social standing in her last days.
