Not Sure If You're Aware, but Kehlani's Daughter Is Insanely Cute - Peep Her Sweetest Snapshots

By bolhaw 15:28 Moms No comments

While you're probably aware Kehlani has a serious set of pipes, you might not have known that she has an adorable daughter. The singer shares her daughter with musician Javaughn Young-White. Although Kehlani chose to keep the identity of Adeya's father a secret for a bit, she has since taken to sharing plenty of cute photos of Adeya to Instagram and has been incredibly honest about her parenting journey.

Identifying as pansexual, the Oakland, CA, native opened up to Nylon magazine in 2018 about how her pregnancy may have taken fans by surprise. "I've gotten everything from 'I thought she was a lesbian' to 'she was using queerness to promote her career, then went and betrayed us with a man' to 'her baby father is just a sperm donor,'" she said. "One, I never identified as a lesbian. I've always been pansexual."

Since giving birth, it seems Kehlani has been eating up every single precious moment with her baby girl. Get a look at some of her daughter's cutest photos ahead.

8 Everyday Habits That Help Me Better Manage the Symptoms of ADHD

By bolhaw 15:28 Moms No comments

I've always had difficulty focusing, but I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until my first year at community college. I was struggling to stay seated in class, and found myself constantly losing my professors during lectures - so I reached out to a doctor for help.

I was prescribed a low dose of a stimulant to help me find the focus I needed to be fully present in class, and at first, it helped tremendously. My racing mind slowed, and I could delegate tasks and stay still and focused long enough to finish them. My grades improved, and I was able to achieve some balance between my studies, work, and life outside the classroom. Unfortunately though, I began to experience some side effects from the medication, and when I eventually found that the negatives outweighed the positives for me, I made the difficult decision to stop taking it.

Managing my symptoms without medication takes significant effort and work every day, but I've seen major improvements in the almost two years since I went off my prescription. It's important to note that there's no shame in taking any medication that's a good fit for you, and if you're in a place where you'd like to explore other options, it's crucial to speak with your doctor first! Keep reading to learn more about the natural ways I stay on top of my diagnosis.

Do Yourself a Favor and Watch a Shirtless Shaun T Crush the "Ice Me Out" Dance Challenge

But I really would get naked for a tennis bracelet though! 🤷🏽‍♂️😝 dc: @elliepascuaa #icemeout #fyp #foryoupage #foryou
♬ Ice Me Out - Kash Doll

Most of you know Shaun T from his intense Beachbody programs like Insanity and Transform :20, but before sharing his intense workouts with the world, he was a professional dancer working with icons like Mariah Carey!

He's been taking on all the TikTok dance challenges and crushing them, and I cannot stop watching his videos. It's hard to choose my favorite, but I am loving his take on the "Ice Me Out" challenge. There's no denying that his moves are on point, but I'm also here to point out how sculpted his muscles are - especially his abs! If you're in need of a mood boost, watch him crush this dance, then give it a shot for yourself.

Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes Mean Less Mess, No Flipping, and No Standing Over a Hot Pan!

By bolhaw 15:28 Moms No comments

I'm always excited to cut into a stack of soft and fresh-off-the-griddle pancakes, but ugh - making them can be such a process. It stinks because I have to stand over the hot pan with spatula in hand and make small batches of pancakes at a time, and everyone is waiting around for them to finish cooking! I have to use so much vegan butter to prevent them from sticking, so even if my batter is healthy, the end result is pretty high in fat. Ever since I tried baking my pancakes on a sheet pan, my pancake game has been forever changed.

These pancakes are fluffy in texture, yet also firm enough to hold in your hand if you need to eat on the go. They have a deliciously cake-like sweet vanilla cinnamon flavor. I used frozen blueberries for this recipe, but you could use any fruit or mix of fruit - raspberries, strawberries, peaches, apples, bananas - the combinations are endless! I think they taste sweet enough without maple syrup, but feel free to add the toppings of your choice, like fresh fruits, a sprinkling of nuts or seeds, or a dollop of nut butter or dairy-free yogurt.

This recipe is made with whole-wheat flour and protein powder, so each square offers five grams of protein - a stack of three offers 15 grams. There's also flaxmeal and low-carb blueberries for added fiber, making these baked pancakes so satisfying‚ you'll be full for hours.

Meal prep a batch of these vegan sheet pan protein pancakes on Sunday, and you'll have a week's worth of breakfast ready to go - or freeze them for later!

Vegan Whole-Wheat Sheet Pan Protein Pancakes

from Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness

Ingredients

3 1/4 cups unsweetened soy milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
1 serving vanilla plant-based protein powder (about 1/3 cup; I used KOS, which has 20 grams of protein per serving)
3 tablespoons baking powder
2 tablespoons flaxmeal
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup oil (coconut or olive)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line an 11x17 baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl or four-cup measuring cup, mix the nondairy milk and apple cider vinegar, and set aside to curdle.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, protein powder, baking powder, flaxmeal, cinnamon, and salt together.
Add the oil, maple syrup, and vanilla to the nondairy milk mixture and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Pour the pancake batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it evenly. You'll notice that the batter will be puffy - that's the baking powder reacting with the apple cider vinegar, and that's what makes these pancakes fluffy. Top with blueberries.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow pancakes to cool for five minutes before cutting into 16 squares. Enjoy with syrup, more fruit, nuts, yogurt, or nut butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days, or in the freezer for several weeks.

Here's the nutritional information for one square:

That's why we were thrilled to discover Old Navy's huge selection of stylish and affordable workout clothes that feel as good as they look.

The stylish collection features all the major trends, like graphic prints, mesh cutouts, and cute ankle details. Not only do they look great, but the retailer has ensured that these stretchy leggings will fit you with the inclusion of petite, tall, and plus sizes.

Not one of the pairs of leggings costs over $40 (with many costing around $25), so you'll be able to afford to buy every style and hue you desire.

Beginners: Here's How Long and How Often You Should Weightlift Each Week to Get Stronger

By bolhaw 14:39 Fitness No comments

Starting a new workout routine can be both exciting but also slightly daunting if you're not sure where to begin. You may be tempted to do the most intense workout you saved on Instagram, but that's not the best idea. Instead, you should first focus on nailing the core movement patterns and building a foundation of strength. We all have different goals and different genetic profiles which will impact how we train and the styles of workouts that we do, and there isn't one perfect way to get started but the following advice can definitely help you out.

How Long Should Strength Workouts Be For Beginners?

"I suggest 45-minute to an hour sessions independent of your fitness level," Holly Rilinger, NASM-certified, Nike master trainer, and creator of the Lifted program, told POPSUGAR. In her opinion, "This is the perfect amount of time to warm up, get a solid workout in, and cool down properly." Rilinger recommends training for no longer than an hour because it's enough time to get a quality session in without losing your motivation, she said.

Kellen Scantlebury, DPT, CSCS, the founder of Fit Club in New York City, recommends strength training for 30 to 45 minutes and using light to moderate resistance (Here's guide on how to choose your weights.) "We want to make sure we can build a base level of strength and also allow for neuromuscular adaptations to take place," he explained. Similar to Rilinger, Scantlebury said a 30- to 45-minute time frame won't discourage you and will help you feel more encouraged to train consistently.

How Often Should Beginners Strength Train Per Week?

You may be motivated to go hard seven days a week, but Rilinger advises against doing so. If you're new to strength training, Rilinger said to start with two to three total-body workouts a week. "This will give you plenty of time to recover while providing enough stimulus to change your body," she explained. She prefers full-body workouts over isolating specific muscle groups because you'll be able to perform more repetitions and train at a higher frequency to develop the basic movement patterns, she said.

"For beginners, I would start out with three days a week. This allows your body time to recover in between workouts, which is very important," Scantlebury said. Instead of training back-to-back, he recommends taking a day of rest in between your workouts to help reduce the amount of muscle soreness you may experience and to also help your muscle fibers repair and grow back both bigger and stronger. When it comes to isolating muscle groups or doing full-body workouts, Scantlebury said, "This really depends on the client's goals."

If your goal is to lose body fat, he recommends focusing on total-body workouts because "This allows for the greatest amount of muscles to be used during each workout and allows for a high calorie burn during each workout." If you're trying to put on muscle or gain weight, Scantlebury recommends training specific body parts during each session. "This allows us to focus on specific muscle groups and gives each group the proper volume - the total amount of repetitions and sets - of work needed to grow," he explained.

The Strength Exercises Every Beginner Should Know

You may be motivated to take on high-intensity exercises like plyo lunges and burpees, but before you do a single rep of either, you should master the basic strength movements. "I love the basics. I make sure my clients are highly proficient with their squat pattern, their deadlift pattern, their plank, and their overhead pressing pattern before moving on to more advanced movements," Scantlebury said.

"The foundation of a strength training program should be squats (knee dominant), deadlifts (hip dominant), bench press (upper-body push), and rows (upper-body pull)," Rilinger explained. These aren't the only four exercises you should do, as there are many variations to each movement pattern, but Rilinger recommends covering these essential movements patterns in every workout. If you aren't comfortable creating your own training program or if you'd like to discuss your goals and how to achieve them with someone more experienced, Rilinger recommends working with a professional trainer. "A good trainer will teach you basic movement patterns and will know how to design progressive programs that will help you reach your goals," she said. Conversely, "Uneducated trainers will show you creative moves that seem fun and innovative that do very little to change your body."

In addition to mastering the basics, Scantlebury said to show up each day with a positive attitude. "If you are in a good mood and have a mindset to get your work in each day, you will succeed." If you're ready to get started strength training, check out this four-week program to get back in shape or this four-week plan to build muscle.

Still No Letter From Hogwarts? At Least You Can Now Watch All 8 Harry Potter Movies on HBO Max

By bolhaw 14:28 Moms No comments

HBO Max launched on May 27, and it's already pulling out the big wands. WarnerMedia's streaming service came online with 10,000 hours of film and TV shows, including all eight Harry Potter films. So if anyone staying at home is hoping to tap into the magic of the wizarding world, all they need is a current HBO subscription or $15 a month to sign up for HBO Max.

The investment was an expensive one for WarnerMedia, who had to buy back its claim on all of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world films - including the two Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies - after Universal nabbed exclusive rights in a 2016 deal. Kevin Reilly, HBO Max's content chief, told Business Insider that taking back the franchise rights was "high on our priority list" and that there was "active engagement around that discussion." Seems like they said the magic word and Harry Potter fans are reaping the benefits!

Not only can you watch all of Harry's adventures from Sorcerer's Stone to the Deathly Hallows two-parter, but HBO Max will include exclusive licensed programming, like all the seasons of Friends (and the big reunion) and The Big Bang Theory, as well as original content like Gary Janetti's satirical animated TV series titled The Prince. But obviously, the first thing we're doing is going back to Hogwarts!

6 Things a Personal Trainer Wants You to Know About Zoom Workouts

By bolhaw 14:28 Moms No comments

Joining Zoom workout classes from your childhood bedroom - detergent-bottle weights in hand - can feel intimidating and inconvenient. But, for Astrid Swan, an NASM-certified personal trainer and the chief curriculum lead for Barry's, being able to connect with clients while social distancing has been "a gift."

That's not to say Swan hasn't faced challenges - like learning the proper camera angles to demonstrate moves or recognizing when a client fakes a poor WiFi connection just to catch a break (yes, that really happened!). But her optimistic attitude stems from the many advantages she's found that Zoom training offers to both clients and professionals.

Months into teaching via Zoom, Swan has developed a unique perspective on the experience, and chatting with her has changed the way I view digital personal training as a client. Her point of view could help other skeptics feel more comfortable, too.

Trainers Can Reach New Communities

Being separated from her energetic work family and gym was the hardest roadblock Swan faced once Barry's temporarily closed its doors. But when the brand launched at-home Zoom classes, she felt her community come back together: "The energy was back!"

Now, Swan has connected to more people than ever before, thanks to her Zoom training sessions.

"[I] feel so lucky to continue to help people get their endorphins up, stress down, and goals achieved," Swan explains. "Also, with our at-home platform, I am able to train people from all over the world, and many first-timers who don't live in an area where we have a location."

Sitting and Watching Is Part of the Trainer's Job

As a self-described "hawk for form," Swan wants you to know that just because a personal trainer is sitting and staring at the screen doesn't mean they aren't prepared for your session.

"I am still able to achieve the call-outs, encouragement, and form corrections," Swan elaborates.

Zoom Training Means Fewer Opportunities to Make Excuses

In Swan's opinion, Zoom training means "no excuses."

"Time is always something we say we don't have enough of - but with Zoom, we don't have to worry about cutting the workout short because of [a] commute," she notes.

A messy room and makeshift weights are no excuses to put off a Zoom training session, either - almost everyone is experiencing similar conditions.

"Start today," she recommends. "We want you to get up and get moving!"

Clients Shouldn't Feel Camera Shy

"We want to see you. AKA: turn on your camera!" Swan urges.

Just like in-person fitness classes, everyone in a group Zoom workout is working to their own level - Swan is adamant that people aren't judging you.

"We love having you join our homes, and we love it if your pet or your child joins in! We understand it takes a minute to get used to the format, but also know, like any workout, you won't regret it when it is over," she explains.

Group and Personal Training Are Equally Rewarding

For Swan, both personal and group-training Zoom sessions are customizable to the clients.

Personal training allows her to get creative when working toward one person's specific goals, while group training offers more of a social experience.

During group sessions, Swan always checks to see if any expecting moms or people dealing with injuries need extra coaching or modifications. She also encourages people within the group to chat, even if it's to vent about how challenging the class was.

"At the end of group training, we unmute everyone, and it's nice to catch up on jokes, encouragements, and see how everyone is doing," Swan adds.

Zoom Training Is the Future

"I do think Zoom fitness sessions will remain popular because of the ease of just opening up your computer to start your workout," Swan says.

She notes the convenience factor for stay-at-home parents who can continue to time workouts around their kids' naps, and for working clients that can sweat between meetings and on lunch breaks.

And it doesn't hurt that the app has made adjusting to virtual training a breeze. Trainers can sync music to workouts, there's no cap to the number of people that can join, and it gives clients the freedom to customize their video settings.

I’m Escaping Stress With Soothing Scalp Massages - and You Should, Too

By bolhaw 14:28 Moms No comments

I'm definitely overwashing my hair right now.

It's not getting any oiler than usual, and I haven't used a spritz of dry shampoo or popped open a tube of styling cream in nearly three months, so product build-up also isn't an issue.

Nine times out of 10, I've been wetting (and washing) my hair solely for the de-stressing scalp massages.

A long, hot shower (or a full bathtub with a glass of red wine and a good book) is my go-to tool for unwinding and releasing tension when my head feels like it's going to explode, or when I'm on the brink of stress-induced tears. Adding a scalp massage to the mix guarantees I will walk out of the bathroom feeling like a much calmer woman without a headache.

To ace my technique (and to attempt to re-create the glorious scalp massages I get at the salon before a haircut), I reached out to my hairstylist Erickson Arrunategui.

What makes a scalp massage so relaxing at the salon, in Arrunategui's opinion, is having someone else do it for you - a few minutes where you simply don't have to think. If you feel comfortable, he suggests having someone wash your hair for you - perhaps someone you're quarantining with or a significant other. You can even set up a makeshift hair-washing station in your kitchen or bathroom.

However, you can easily give yourself a scalp massage, too. First, wet your hair and apply some shampoo - Arrunategui says this will help your hands glide around the scalp for a soothing, relaxing experience.

I've been loving the Drunk Elephant Cocomino Glossing Shampoo ($25) because it's sulfate-free but still has an impressive lather.

Start at the sides of the head and massage toward the temples, working your way around the head.

"No fast motions and no scratching your scalp. Use the balls of the fingertips to really get rid of any tension you're holding in your scalp," Arrunategui notes.

Spend a few minutes massaging before you rinse.

Post-shower, I like to wrap myself up in a fuzzy robe, press play on an acoustic Spotify playlist, sit on the side of the tub, and take in a few deep breaths.

How's that for tackling a tension headache?

In Her New Vlog, Barbie Encourages Your Kids to Talk About Their Feelings While Staying Home

By bolhaw 11:28 Moms No comments

Barbie is more than a toy, she's a social icon - especially on YouTube. On Barbie's channel, the character's "Barbie Vlogs" series is highly viewed and aims to inspire kids and encourage them to be who they want to be. Although many videos include silly challenges and cameos from Barbie's friends, her latest vlog, "Making Sense of a New Routine," touches a more serious topic in a lighthearted way, as it encourages kids to get in touch with their feelings during this time of staying home.

"I am just so full of so many emotions, I can get cranky!" Barbie says in the episode, after giving a breakdown of what she's been up to while staying home. "Days like this are hard. . . and sometimes, we're just sad. And that's OK, too."

Throughout the vlog, Barbie reminds viewers that it's normal to feel upset and overwhelmed right now, and to miss their usual routines. She also offers suggestions on hobbies to pick up to keep busy, and tips on adding meditation to your routine to start each day with a sense of calm.

"As the #1 girls channel on YouTube, Barbie has a powerful platform to speak to girls in a relatable format covering relevant, and sometimes complex, topics in a digestible and age-appropriate way," said Lisa McKnight, senior vice president and global head of Barbie & Dolls at Mattel, told POPSUGAR. "As parents and caregivers address new realities with their kids, our hope for Barbie's latest vlog is to be a conversation starter amongst families."

Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra Were an Iconic '90s Couple, but Their Marriage Didn't Last

By bolhaw 01:28 Moms No comments

Among the many revelations in the docuseries The Last Dance is an account of the bizarre time when oddball basketball player Dennis Rodman married Carmen Electra in 1998. Their marriage was incredibly short-lived, but it was all the more memorable for its strange circumstances and sudden dissolution.

Electra and Rodman got married in Las Vegas on Nov. 14, 1998, after what People described as "an all-night bender." Only nine days later, Rodman filed for an annulment of the marriage on the grounds that he had not been of sound mind on the night when they got married. For a brief time, the couple reconciled and attempted to work things out, but the marriage was ultimately short-lived. Although they were frequently seen in public together in early 1999, by March of that year, they had filed for divorce, resulting in a marriage that lasted less than six months and was dogged with scandal and rumors of infidelity from the very beginning.

Looking back, it makes sense that their marriage failed, given the circumstances under which it had begun. Early into their relationship, Electra suffered a pair of personal losses: her mother died of brain cancer and her older sister died of a heart attack within two weeks of each other in August 1998. She married Rodman - on a whim, if the rumors of an impulsive marriage on a bender are true - only a couple of months after that.

After their divorce, both Electra and Rodman moved on to other relationships. Electra married again in 2003 to musician Dave Navarro; they divorced in 2007. She later became engaged to Rob Patterson, another musician, but the relationship was over by 2012, when she appeared on celebrity dating show The Choice. Rodman, meanwhile, was already on his second marriage, having divorced Annie Bakes in 1992 after two children and five years of a tumultuous relationship marred by accusations of abuse. He then married Michelle Moyer in 2003, with whom he had two children. Moyer filed for divorce in 2004, but the couple spent several years reconciling on and off until their final divorce in 2012.

8 Impactful Books on Race in America White People Should Read

By bolhaw 00:49 travel No comments

Throughout this last week of May, protesters across America have demanded justice for the continued acts of fatal violence against Black Americans. In the wake of George Floyd's killing by Minneapolis police - which followed the recent shootings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade - many people are asking what they can do to turn their opposition to racism into action. White Americans, especially, should be asking that question of themselves. To be better allies, we need to educate ourselves, donate what we can, demonstrate, speak out, and confront our own complicity - even when it's uncomfortable. And it's not a one-time exercise, but an ongoing process.

Earlier in the week, activist and writer Brittany Packnett circulated a list compiled by two white activists, Sarah Sophie Flicker and Alyssa Klein, on Twitter. The list is full of resources for other white people to educate themselves on race - books, podcast, articles, and films. The selection of books below is partly culled from and inspired by that list. It also includes additional books I've read in recent years that helped me understand how I can become a better ally, educated me on our nation's real history, and exposed me to new ideas and understandings about both systemic and interpersonal racism. These are books I think may help you do the same.

Education, of course, is just the start - but it's an important step that's incumbent on white Americans to take ourselves. Of course, these books are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the outstanding literature on the topic that's available, but I think they're a good place to begin:

Get to Know Michael Jordan's Kids - Jeffrey, Marcus, Jasmine, Victoria, and Ysabel

By bolhaw 00:28 Moms No comments

Legendary basketball player Michael Jordan has five children - his three eldest children with first wife, Juanita Vanoy, and his youngest two with his current wife Yvette Prieto. The former NBA MVP's sons both took after their dad and played basketball in school, but ultimately opted for different career paths after college. Two of his children even work for the Jordan brand currently, and you can see Michael and some of his family in the docuseries, The Last Dance, currently airing on ABC. The series about Michael's 1997-to-1998 season with the Bulls also touches on the basketball player's life, including his oldest children. Get to know them, as well as Michael's young twins, when you keep reading.

Jeffrey Michael Jordan

Jeffrey Michael Jordan was born Nov. 18, 1988. Jeffrey is Michael's oldest son with his first wife, Juanita Vanoy. He grew up with what he calls a fairly "normal" life with his siblings. He went to college at the University of Illinois to play basketball and transferred to the University of Central Florida to finish his college career. He played basketball there as well. He currently works for the Jordan brand and got married to his wife, Radina Aneva, in 2019. You can follow him on Twitter or Instagram.

Marcus James Jordan

Marcus James Jordan was born Dec. 24, 1990. He grew up with his family in the Chicago area and played basketball through school. He went to college at the University of Central Florida, where he was also a member of the basketball team. While there, the school was under a contract with Adidas and because Marcus refused to wear the brand's shoes - instead insisting on wearing Nike Jordans - the school lost millions in its contract. After leaving UCF, Marcus started his own company, Trophy Room, an online boutique selling predominantly Jordan fashion, inspired by the trophy room in the Jordan family residence.

Jasmine Mickael Jordan

Jasmine Mickael Jordan was born Dec. 7, 1992. She's the last child Michael had with his first wife, Juanita. She followed in her athletic dad's footsteps by finding a career in sports, though not as an athlete. She studied sports management at Syracuse University and now works for the Nike Jordan brand. She splits her time between Nike headquarters in Oregon, her mom's house in Chicago, and her dad's place in Florida, but she calls Charlotte, NC, home. She had a baby boy - Michael's first grandchild - in 2019 and named him Rakeem Michael Christmas, after his dad Rakeem Christmas, whom she met in school at Syracuse. You can follow her on Twitter or Instagram.

Victoria and Ysabel Jordan

Twins Victoria and Ysabel Jordan were born Feb. 9, 2014. Michael shares his twin girls with his current wife Yvette Prieto Jordan. Michael and Yvette met in 2008 and married in 2013 before having the twins just a year later. The twin girls are identical and are being raised at Michael and Yvette's home in South Florida.

This Photographer's Photo Series Shows Just How Badass Nurses Really Are

By bolhaw 12:28 Moms No comments

When photographer Katie Lacer first started taking pictures of the labor, delivery, and postpartum nurses who rush to the sides of women during the birthing process, she never thought it would spread like wildfire on social media. Lacer explained how the idea came into play to POPSUGAR:

"I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. For me, it's the anonymity. Those can be any mother's legs, with any nurse, in any hospital. Anyone that has welcomed a baby knows that moment, and we can all relate to it."

The photo series began picking up some serious speed when Facebook user Baby Rabies shared one of Lacer's photos thanking nurses for all they do.

The photographer says she's barely been able to keep her emotions at bay, but she loves capturing everything else that goes into a birth story:

"I call it 'hormotional'. I'm so overwhelmed (in the best way possible) and I'm thrilled that it's gotten such an amazing response. My ultimate goal as a photographer is to make people feel something, and I think that these images do that. It's real and vulnerable and shows that there's more to a birth story than a baby."

Here's a look at Lacer's full series.

Beyoncé is speaking out about the death of George Floyd. On Friday, the singer shared a video on Instagram urging fans to seek justice for George by signing the petitions on her website, which include Justice for George Floyd on change.org, #JusticeforFloyd on act.colorofchange.org, and #WeCantBreathe on wecantbreathenational.org.

"We cannot normalize this pain."

"We need justice for George Floyd. We all witnessed his murder in broad daylight. We're broken and we're disgusted. We cannot normalize this pain. I'm not only speaking to people of color - if you're white, Black, brown, or anything in between, I'm sure you feel hopeless by the racism going on in America right now," Beyoncé said in her video. "No more senseless killings of human beings, no more seeing people of color as less than human, we can no longer look away. George is all of our family and humanity. He's our family because he's a fellow American. There have been too many times that we've seen these violent killings and no consequences. Yes, someone's been charged, but justice is far from being achieved. Please sign the petition and continue to pray for peace and compassion and healing for our country."

George was killed in Minneapolis on May 25 when police officer Derek Chauvin used his knee on George's neck to pin him down for an extended period even as he said he couldn't breathe. Four days later, Derek was arrested and charged with third-degree murder.
