Netflix has released Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, which presents an intimate look at her historic 2018 Coachella performance that paid homage to America’s historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Interspersed with candid footage and interviews detailing the preparation and powerful intent behind her vision, Homecoming gives a peek into the process and emotional physical sacrifices it took to conceptualize and execute a performance of that magnitude that became a cultural movement. This stand-alone Netflix original is now available globally on Netflix.
As the first black woman to headline Coachella, Homecoming recognizes the African American visionaries who inspired Beyoncé, including Hbcu alums Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, activist Marian Wright Edelman, and scholar W.E.B. Du Bois, in addition to cultural luminaries such as Nina Simone, Maya Angelou, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and Audre Lorde. Beyoncé’s personal knowledge of the relevance and celebration of HBCUs started with her father, Mathew Knowles, an alumnus of Fisk University.

ESPN and the Los Angeles Rams are set to honor firefighters and help support the Southern California wildfire relief efforts during the “Monday Night Football” matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Last week, the Rams announced that first responders and those affected by the community’s recent tragedies will receive complimentary tickets for the game that is now set to be played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Firefighters and other emergency services will be honored during the pre-kick events and the halftime show.
The push is part of the La Together campaign aiming to help people impacted by both the wildfires and the mass shooting on Nov. 8 in Thousand Oaks, which occurred close to where the Rams facilities are located.
Let’s come #LATogether to help rebuild + heal our community.

Liev Schreiber was something of a surprise nominee in 2015 when he landed a Best Drama Actor nomination for “Ray Donovan.” After three consecutive bids for his gritty Showtime series, pundits assumed he would easily return to the race this year. The TV academy shockingly snubbed the performer in this major category, but Schreiber still has a great chance to take home his first career Emmy Award. For the second year in row, Schreiber is nominated in the Best Narrator category. He contends for his work narrating the HBO boxing series “24/7,” for the episode “Canelo/Golovkin.” The installment helped trace the backgrounds of Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin ahead of their middleweight championship fight.
