☆ Major retailers bring $14 billion in revenue to Black-owned brands
  + stars: | 2023-08-11 | by ( Brandon Gomez | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Major retailers and brands have driven $14 billion in revenue to Black-owned businesses since May 2020. The group asks companies to reflect the Black community that makes up 15% of the U.S. population by dedicating 15% of their shelf space to Black-owned brands. Prior to taking the pledge, many of the group's current partners had less than 3% of their shelf space dedicated to Black-owned brands. Now all partners are committed to attaining their 15% pledge over a 10-year contract. Fifteen Percent Pledge has committed to generating $1.4 trillion in wealth for Black entrepreneurs by 2030.

The guest list for the first Monday in May, as the Met Gala is also known, serves as a Rorschach test for whom Anna Wintour deems important, circa now. Many guests wore black and white or suits and gowns embellished with pearls or flowers — favorite motifs of Mr. Lagerfeld. Doja Cat and Jared Leto each paid homage to Choupette, Mr. Lagerfeld’s feline friend. There were many wonderful dresses that paid respect to Mr. Lagerfeld’s legacy — in fact, there were too many to name. So here’s a reminder: The looks that follow did the most at the Met Gala — not necessarily the best, not necessarily the worst, just the most.

Aurora James, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Riley Roberts are seen leaving the 2021 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. WASHINGTON—House of Representatives ethics officials said Thursday that their probe of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) centers on her participation in the 2021 Met Gala and whether she properly reimbursed vendors for her hair, makeup, clothing and transportation expenses. The focus of the probe was disclosed by the Office of Congressional Ethics, an internal, nonpartisan ethics office that reviews allegations of misconduct against lawmakers. The probe had been disclosed in December, but neither the OCE nor Ms. Ocasio-Cortez’s office had provided details.

A congressional watchdog said AOC might have violated ethics rules in connection to her 2021 Met Gala attendance. The watchdog recommended the House Ethics Committee further review the allegations. The Office of Congressional Ethics also recommended subpoenas to AOC's dress designers. A lawyer for Ocasio-Cortez said in a letter to the House Ethics Committee released Thursday that the congresswoman "finds these delays unacceptable, and she has taken several steps to ensure nothing of this nature will ever happen again." The House Ethics Committee, which released the OCE report and findings on Thursday, said in a statement that it "will refrain from making further public statements on this matter pending completion of its initial review."

CNN —Angela Bassett gave a rousing speech about female empowerment at the Glamour Women of the Year event on Tuesday night. “We are underestimated like Rosa Parks, who was presumed to be meek and mild, voiceless,” she said. “We are resilient like Tina Turner, who gave up everything she’d worked for, except her name, to gain freedom from abuse,” she said. “She started over, reimagining her career as a rock ‘n’ roll artist, a genre that no Black woman had successfully charted. “The legacies of these women and so many more are what keep me going when the deck seems stacked against me.
