Black Twitter
2016 has been the year of battling serious racial issues, but also the year of celebrating our culture and achievements.

Michelle Obama is known for a bevy of things: intelligence, style, class, and most recently, the best bear hugs. Her hugs are so rich and full of love that even George W.

If you don’t remember Jay Pharoah from the MTV VMA’s, we’re sure you remember him from Saturday Night Live.

Twitter is no fun unless you’re collectively (and creatively) making fun of someone….famous, that is. This week’s focal point being none other than presidential candidate Donald Trump, who was casted in hilarious movie titles for the #DonaldTrumpTheMovie hashtag.
