The Anthony Anderson-hosted NAACP Image Awards aired yesterday and, as always, celebrated the year’s best and brightest offerings from actors, singers, directors, producers, and other Hollywood heavy hitters of color.
Honoring achievements and advancements across multiple entertainment genres and formats (television, music, film, etc.), tuck in below to see who among your favorites walked away with the coveted trophies.

Keyshia Cole is wasting no time signalling her return.

Over the course of the last week aline, the R&B star has released new single ‘You,’ shot its video, and now taken to ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ to perform the track.

Remy Ma and French Montana joined Cole for the showing, which also saw her perform new song ‘Incapable’ – a track lifted from her 7th studio album (her Epic Records debut).

Interestingly, the cut samples Mary J. Blige‘s ‘I’m Going Down.’

Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and Pink are just a few of the names that joined millions across the globe in solidarity for the Women’s March.

Purposefully timed to take place the day after Donald Trump‘s inauguration as US President, the rallies sought to celebrate womanhood and remind of the glaring inequalities that are still a reality. The latter being a core focus of the campaign given Trump’s sexually charged and degrading comments about women.

Beyond lending their name to the cause, the ladies rolled up their sleeves and took part.

Take a look at any “one’s to watch” list from last year, and it’s almost certain that Chance The Rapper would have featured.

Waving the flag for the independent movement, the mass appealing Hip-Hop talent has caught the eyes and ears of the recording buying public who helped lift his ‘Coloring Book’ project to #1 via on streams alone.

Naturally with any such ascend, the spotlight isn’t limited to the artist alone. Their family are trust in to the spotlight.

It’s widely known that Chance’s father is a prominent Chicago based politician.

Now, it’s his younger brother who has folk talking – after he came out on Twitter today.

Looks like ‘Karma’ singer Alicia Keys’ anti-makeup campaign has finally come full circle, if her February spread in ‘Allure’ magazine is anything to judge by.

In what (reportedly) comes as her first editorial wearing makeup since Spring 2016, the songstress took to the fashion mag to dish on everything from president elect Donald Trump to women’s rights, activism, and even played a fun game of “would you rather?” (featuring names such as Beyonce, Solange, Tupac, and more).

Tuck in below to see more photos from the afro-centric shoot and see behind the scenes footage as well:

Watched on by the likes of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett, and Octavia Spencer, Ms. Barrino shut down the Kennedy Center event with a rousing rendition of Aretha Franklin‘s ‘Dr. Feel Good.’

See Fantasia set it all the way off, like only she can, after the jump…
