The Morehouse College alum delivered words of motivation and inspiration to 200 HBCU students at the Culture Creators‘ virtual C2 Summit earlier this month. The four-day summit, which was held May 18–21, was designed to enrich graduates by highlighting the achievements of diverse professionals in entertainment. The digital experience included panel discussions, one-on-one interviews, speed mentoring, culture chats, and a pitch competition. Students were also granted access to job recruiters and seasoned influencers with various backgrounds in business, entertainment, technology, finance, and lifestyle.
“Your biggest hater you have to worry about is yourself. I was my biggest hater—still am for the most part,” said Pamon during a virtual keynote. “You start thinking about what could go wrong, when the truth of the matter is, the best predictor of future behavior is what? Past performance. Nobody invited to this Zoom has a continued history of messing up.”
He also warned students not to compare themselves to others, which can leave them feeling discouraged. “We use the wrong measurements to judge our success,” said Pamon, who oversees all aspects of Parkwood Entertainment, Parkwood Touring, and Parkwood Ventures. Pamon was responsible for managing the launch of Beyonce’s athleisure line, IVY Park, as well as the entertainer’s brand partnerships with WTRMLN WTR, Global Citizen, and Chime For Change.
Other speakers at the C2 Summit included chairwoman and COO of Atlantic Records Julie Greenwald; Sports Agent (CAA) Carlos Fleming; Motown General Manager, Marc Byers; Miami Dolphins Marketing Executive Marques Jackson, and Nickelodeon Human Resources Exec Courtney Oliver.

The fallout from Derek Chauvin’s alleged murder of George Floyd continues.
After finally being arrested and charged, his wife has now filed for divorce from the former Minneapolis police officer, according to her lawyer.
As reported by CBS Minnesota, Kellie Chauvin, is seeking divorce from her husband in the aftermath of Floyd’s death, which took place on Memorial Day when Derek Chauvin drove his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly 10 minutes.
A statement about Kellie Chauvin’s decision was offered by Sekula Law Offices.
“She is devastated by Mr. Floyd’s death and her utmost sympathy lies with his family, with his loved ones and with everyone who is grieving this tragedy,” the statement said. “She has filed for dissolution of her marriage to Derek Chauvin.”
“While Ms. Chauvin has no children from her current marriage, she respectfully requests that her children, her elder parents, and her extended family be given safety and privacy during this difficult time,” according to the statement.

Derek Chauvin was arrested Friday, four days after the incident took place. Floyd’s death was caught on camera and has incited multiple days of protests and civil unrest across the country.
MinnesotaDepartment of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington said it took time to gather enough evidence to make an arrest.
“We have now been able to put together the evidence that we need. Even as late as yesterday afternoon, we did not have all that we needed,” he explained. “This is by far the fastest that we’ve ever charged a police officer.”
ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s governor declared a state of emergency early Saturday to activate the state National Guard as violence flared in Atlanta and cities nationwide following the death in Minnesota of George Floyd after a white officer pressed a knee into his neck while taking him into custody.
Another 500 Guard soldiers were mobilized in and around Minneapolis, where Floyd died and an officer faced charges Friday in his death. But after another night of watching fires burn and businesses ransacked, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said early Saturday that he was moving to activate more than 1,000 more and was considering federal help.
The Guard was also on standby in the District of Columbia, where a crowd grew outside the White House and chanted curses at President Donald Trump. Some protesters tried to push through barriers set up by the U.S. Secret Service along Pennsylvania Avenue, and threw bottles and other objects at officers wearing riot gear, who responded with pepper spray.

A person was killed in downtown Detroit just before midnight after someone in an SUV fired shots into a crowd of protesters near the Greektown entertainment district, police said. In Portland, Oregon, protesters broke into police headquarters and authorities said they lit a fire inside. In Virginia’s capital, a police cruiser was set on fire outside Richmond police headquarters, and a city transit spokeswoman said a bus set ablaze was “a total loss,” news outlets reported.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp tweeted that up to 500 members of the Guard would deploy immediately “to protect people & property in Atlanta.” He said he acted at the request of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who earlier appealed in vain for calm.
At the request of Mayor @KeishaBottoms & in consultation with public safety & emergency preparedness officials, I have issued a State of Emergency for Fulton County to activate as many as 500 @GeorgiaGuard troops to protect people & property in Atlanta. (1/2)
In scenes both peaceful and violent across the nation, thousands of protesters chanted “No justice, no peace” and “Say his name. George Floyd.” They hoisted signs reading: “He said I can’t breathe. Justice for George.”
Some demonstrators smashed police cars and spray-painted the iconic logo sign at CNN headquarters in downtown Atlanta. At least three officers were hurt and there were multiple arrests, Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos said, as protesters shot at officers with BB guns and threw bricks, bottles and knives.
Atlanta officials said crews were unable to reach a fire at Del Frisco’s restaurant in the Buckhead neighborhood several miles north because of protesters there.
“This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King, Jr.,” Bottoms said. “You are disgracing the life of George Floyd and every other person who has been killed in this country.”
"If you care about this city then go home." Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms was visibly angry at a news conference during the Atlanta protests on Friday https://t.co/RyApQwICJxpic.twitter.com/3sPHG4t474
Bottoms was flanked by King’s daughter, Bernice King, and rappers T.I. and Killer Mike.
“We have to be better than burning down our own homes. Because if we lose Atlanta what have we got?” said Killer Mike, crying as he spoke.
Video posted to social media showed New York City officers using batons and shoving protesters down as they took people into custody and cleared streets. One video showed on officer slam a woman to the ground as he walked past her in the street.
According to reports the officer who assaulted this young woman is Vincent J. D’Andraia of the 73rd Precinct.

Demonstrators rocked a police van, set it ablaze, scrawled graffiti across its charred body and set it aflame again as officers retreated. Blocks away, protesters used a club to batter another police vehicle.
“There will be a full review of what happened tonight,” Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted, referring to the Brooklyn protest. “We don’t ever want to see another night like this.”
The police department said numerous officers were injured, including one whose tooth was knocked out.
The names of Black people killed by police, including Floyd and Eric Garner, who died on Staten Island in 2014, were on signs and in chants.
“Our country has a sickness. We have to be out here,” said Brianna Petrisko, among those at lower Manhattan’s Foley Square, where most were wearing masks amid the coronavirus pandemic. “This is the only way we’re going to be heard.”
Protesters in Houston, where Floyd grew up, included 19-year-old Jimmy Ohaz from the nearby city of Richmond, Texas: “My question is how many more, how many more? I just want to live in a future where we all live in harmony and we’re not oppressed.”
Demonstrators on the West Coast blocked highways in Los Angeles and Oakland, California.
About 1,000 protesters in Oakland smashed windows, sprayed buildings with “Kill Cops” graffiti and were met with chemical spray from police, who said several officers were injured by projectiles.

One Los Angeles officer received medical treatment, police said. An LAPD vehicle had its windows smashed, and at least one city bus was vandalized. Police declared an unlawful assembly throughout downtown, where aerial footage from KTLA-TV showed scored of people corralled by police.
An LAPD spokesman told The Associated Press they were still tallying arrests.
“I believe in our city. L.A. is strong enough to stand for justice and walk in love,” Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted, cautioning “violence and vandalism hurts all.”
San Jose, California, police said that Santa Clara County sheriff’s deputies shot at a fleeing SUV that was shown on video striking protesters, the San Jose Mercury News reported.
Protesters repeatedly clashed with police in San Jose, said Mayor Sam Liccardo, and police responded with flash-bang grenades and rubber bullets. One officer was hospitalized with a non-life-threatening injury, officials said.
Liccardo said his city’s officers shared the community’s outrage over Floyd’s death.
“It was a horrible injustice,” he told the AP.
Portland, Oregon, police said at least one shooting was tied to the protest, although details weren’t immediately released. Two people were arrested during overnight riots in which protesters set fires throughout downtown and smashed storefront windows, police said, but arrest details were immediately available.
Police, who declared the protest a riot, said they deployed gas after people threw projectiles at them.
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler tweeted a plea to protesters to remain peaceful and said that, while he had left Portland to attend to his dying mother, he was heading back.
“Portland, this is not us,” he wrote. “When you destroy our city, you are destroying our community. When you act in violence against each other, you are hurting all of us. How does this honor the legacy of George Floyd?”

Ezinma, the classically-trained violinist who became a viral sensation after her video covers of trap music went viral, is sharing her gift of music with inner-city students.
Affectionately known as “Classical Bae,” the 29-year-old Nebraska native developed a love for the violin at the age of four after being assigned to create a homemade version of the instrument by a teacher. She told Complex last year that she then became obsessed with playing the violin.
“I just begged my parents to play. I did not stop,” she said. “Finally, they gave in and rented this little violin, and I ended up really taking to it and loving it.”
As a young adult, Ezinma moved to New York and graduated from the Mannes School of Music and gained notoriety for fusing classical music and hip hop. She had her breakthrough moment in 2017 when her cover of Future’s “Mask Off” went viral as part of the rapper’s #MaskOffChallenge. She even caught the eye of Beyonce and traveled with the megastar on her Formation World Tour.
In addition to working with Queen Bey and performing at Carnegie Hall and Madison Square Garden, Ezinma became one of the faces of Essentia latest campaign, encouraging people to “do that ‘thing’ they really want to do.”
Now, Ezinma is sharing the lessons and tools she learned during her journey with young people of color. During quarantine, the musician joined forces with Re-Create, which provides educational programming during after school hours for New York City Public School students between kindergarten and 5th grade, reports Fox 32 Chicago. According to a press release, spearheaded lessons like “How To Make a Violin At Home,” “How to Make a Foot Chart,” and “My First Violin Lesson” for students attending PS 9, PS 166, and PS 84.
Ezinma also partnered with Wide Open School to tell the history of Ludwig van Beethoven’s famous piece “Symphony No. 5 in C# Minor,” which is famously known as “Beethoven’s Fifth.”
Moving forward, Essentia says the violinist will lend her support to their commitment to After-School All-Stars, an organization that dedicated to uplifting underserved communities.
Furthermore, Ezinma is gearing up for the launch of her nonprofit foundation, HeartStrings, a music-based youth development program for children K-5 of diverse backgrounds, later this year, says Essentia. The HeartStrings Academy will equip each student with a quality instrument, music instruction, and community engagement activities along with access to world-renowned concerts and performance. Her goal is to help children of color get more exposure and access to classical music.
“Being somebody who is not white or Asian in the classical space is difficult,” she told Complex. “I never saw another black person playing the violin until I was 15 or 16. Anything that veers from [what’s traditional] feels disrespectful in [the classical] world.”
(Reuters) – The vetting process is underway to help presumptive Democratic U.S. presidential nominee Joe Biden pick his running mate for the Nov. 3 election.
Biden has vowed to choose a woman as his potential vice president. Here are some of the nearly dozen candidates who are likely under consideration, according to people familiar with the process expected to wrap up by July.
Senator Kamala Harris
A number of advisers have pressed Biden’s campaign to pick Harris, 55, because the daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants could help excite black voters, a key Democratic constituency. Harris endorsed Biden after dropping out of the race, but her earlier criticism of him during a Democratic primary debate about his opposition to school busing rankled some people close to Biden.
Senator Amy Klobuchar
The 60-year-old senator from Minnesota could help Biden appeal to moderate and working-class white voters in potential Midwestern battlegrounds like her home state. But Klobuchar struggled to capture black voter support during her own presidential bid and faced criticism over her prior handling of a murder case involving a black teenage defendant when she was a Minnesota county prosecutor.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
Whitmer, 48, raised her profile as the governor of a state hit hard by the coronavirus. But she has also come under fire for a stay-at-home order that some in the key battleground state of Michigan viewed as too onerous.
Senator Elizabeth Warren
Warren, 70, has spoken with Biden regularly since dropping out of the Democratic nominating race and endorsing him. She is seen by Biden advisers as a bridge between the former vice president and people skeptical of his commitment to progressive policy priorities. While Biden and Warren battled over policy issues during the primary, the senator from Massachusetts has since supported revisions to the Affordable Care Act that match Biden’s healthcare proposals.
Former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams
Abrams, 46, gained a national profile during her failed 2018 bid to become Georgia’s governor. Though Abrams has limited executive experience, Biden advisers think the black voting rights advocate could deliver Georgia, a state Democratic presidential candidates have not won in nearly three decades.
Representative Val Demings
Biden has said Demings, 63, an African-American congresswoman from the election battleground state of Florida, is on the running mate shortlist. The former Orlando police chief served as one of the managers of the House of Representatives’ impeachment proceedings against Republican President Donald Trump but has a lower profile among voters nationally.
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham
Lujan Grisham, 60, became the first Latina Democratic governor of a state in 2018, after serving six years in Congress. Biden’s campaign has been pushed by allies to consider a running mate who could boost his support among Latino voters, potentially the largest minority voting bloc in the November election.
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto
Cortez Masto, 56, a senator from potential battleground state Nevada, succeeded Democratic Senator Harry Reid, a party power broker who has encouraged Biden to consider her, according to people familiar with the matter. She served as attorney general of Nevada before becoming the first Latina elected to the U.S. Senate, and also could help strengthen Biden’s appeal with Latino voters.
Other names
Biden mentioned as possible running mates Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, who clashed with Trump early in his presidency. Influential Biden supporter and black lawmaker James Clyburn has mentioned Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms as a candidate. And former Obama administration National Security Adviser Susan Rice said she is willing to be Biden’s running mate.

Measurements of particles called B mesons deviate from predictions. Alone, each anomaly looks like a fluke, but their collective drift is more suggestive.
The mugshot of former Minneapolis officer Derek Chauvin—charged in the murder of George Floyd— has been released.
Chauvin, 44, is being held the adult detention center Ramsey County jail in St. Paul, Minnesota and the mugshot was released late Friday. He is expected in court on Monday in Minneapolis on murder and manslaughter charges. His bail is set at half a million dollars.
The 19-year veteran with the city’s police department was arrested earlier in the day and was charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter for the death of Floyd and taken into custody by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
In a viral video that has ignited protest, Chauvin is seen placing his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes, 46 seconds, and kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for 2 minutes 43 seconds after he lost consciousness and pleaded for help. Prosecutors allege that Chauvin used excessive force as police first encountered Floyd as part of an investigation about the unarmed 46-year-old possibly using a counterfeit $20 bill.
“Police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone position is inherently dangerous,” prosecutors wrote in the complaint according to CBS News.
Furthermore, prosecutors declared that Floyd did comply with the officers but did not “voluntarily” get into their squad car. They also repeated Floyd’s plea for help as he lay on the ground and officers restricted his movement by holding his arm and Chauvin placed his left knee on Floyd’s neck. Floyd said “I can’t breathe,” “Mama,” and “please,” as he began to lose consciousness.
One officer asked, “should we roll him on his side?”. However, that was rejected and Chavin declared, “No, staying put where we got him.”
Officer Thomas Lane wondered if Floyd would become delirious but did not offer assistance. He, along with Chauvin and two others were fired. Protests sprung in Minneapolis and in other cities demanding the arrest of Chauvin and there is also the demand that the other officers be charged as well.
According to the criminal complaint released by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the preliminary autopsy found that “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation.” It also stated that there were contributing factors such that contributed to Floyd’s death such as health and restraint.
“The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by the police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.”
Benjamin Crump, who is representing the family, holds Chauvin and the other officers involved as the culprit. The bystander video was more than enough proof for him.
“Now the officers who stood by and did NOTHING to save George need to be arrested and charged as well,” Crump wrote.
Crump and Floyd’s family also wanted the charges upgraded to the more serious first-degree charge which centers on premeditation to commit murder.
“We expected a first-degree murder charge. We want a first-degree murder charge. And we want to see the other officers arrested,” Crump and the family said in a statement. “We call on authorities to revise the charges to reflect the true culpability of this officer.”
— Benjamin Crump, Esq. (@AttorneyCrump) May 29, 2020
“The officers served as judge, jury and executioners of #GeorgeFloyd when they killed him in the street; and they should face life sentences for First-Degree Murder in a court of law,” he also tweeted.

In the wake of the viral Amy Cooper video that shows her racially profiling an innocent Black birdwatcher in Central Park, New York lawmakers are now proposing new legislation that would classify the act of falsely reporting an incident to police as a hate crime.
According to PIX11, the legislation was proposed Tuesday just one day after the video of Cooper’s alarming and unwarranted phone call against Christian Cooper (of no relation) sparked outrage.
“He is recording me and threatening me and my dog,” Cooper can be heard saying to a police dispatcher on the phone while the bird watcher calmly films her tirade. “I’m being threatened by an African-American man in the Ramble! Please send the cops immediately.”
Fortunately, no false arrests were made when police arrived to Central Park. But Assemblyman Felix Ortiz and Senator Brian Benjamin believe that given that these incidents are often based on glaring racial bias, it only makes sense to criminalize similar actions across the state.
“In the past year, we have seen many instances throughout both New York State and the country of people calling 911 on black people who are going about their everyday lives, only to be interrupted by someone calling the police for reasons that range from caution, to suspicious inkling to all out hated,” Ortiz wrote in his justification for the bill.
“It is frightening that this incident happened just blocks from where many of my constituents live and that this woman was so willing to fabricate a story despite being filmed,” agreed State Sen. Benjamin. “I worry that if she had not been filmed, this woman may have been given the benefit of the doubt, and that this man could have faced serious, perhaps life-threatening consequences if the police had arrived.”

Michelle Obama has spoken out about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and sharing that she is “exhausted” about another loss of life due to police brutality.
Obama paid tribute to Floyd, who was killed earlier in the week in Minneapolis by former MPD police officer Derek Chauvin. According to the charging document, Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes, 46 seconds, and kept his knee on Floyd’s neck for 2 minutes and 43 seconds after he lost consciousness and pleaded for help. Chauvin’s been charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter.
The former FLOTUS let it be known her heart was heavy in a Twitter thread.
She invoked the names of others who have had their lives taken too soon like Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Michael Brown, and Ahmaud Arbery.
Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on. pic.twitter.com/lFWEtTzVT8
“Like so many of you, I’m pained by these recent tragedies. And I’m exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop. Right now it’s George, Breonna, and Ahmaud. Before that it was Eric, Sandra, and Michael. It just goes on, and on, and on,” Obama wrote.
Obama, 56, noted that the current hardship is not one that is new or unique to African Americans. She called on others to help with addressing the racism that is embedded in the fabric of society.
“Race and racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can’t just be on people of color to deal with it,” she continued.
Obama went on to post that everyone would have to reckon with uncomfortable truths in order to make room for healing.
“It’s up to all of us—Black, white, everyone—no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. It starts with self-examination and listening to those whose lives are different from our own.”
Obama ended her thread with the wish that the lives would not be in vain but offer a way forward that would lead to better days. At the moment, there is unrest in the nation as people take to the streets in protest over Floyd’s death.
“It ends with justice, compassion, and empathy that manifests in our lives and on our streets. I pray we all have the strength for that journey, just as I pray for the souls and the families of those who were taken from us.”
Earlier in the day, former President Barack Obama broke his silence about Floyd’s passing. The 44th president, 58, issued a statement on Twitter on Friday afternoon, just a few hours after President Donald Trump called for looters to be shot in a now-censored tweet.
“I want to share parts of the conversations I’ve had with friends over the past couple days about the footage of George Floyd dying face down on the street under the knee of a police officer in Minnesota,” he began before going on to share his friends’ heartbreak over the incident.
“The circumstances of my friend and Keedron may be different, but their anguish is the same. It’s shared by me and millions of others,” he said. “It’s natural to wish for life ‘to just get back normal’ as a pandemic and economic crisis upend everything around us. But we have to remember that for millions of Americans, being treated differently on account of race is tragically, painfully, maddeningly ‘normal’— whether it’s while dealing with the health care system, or interacting with the criminal justice system, or jogging down the street, or just watching birds in park.”
He continued, “This shouldn’t be ‘normal’ in 2020 America. It can’t be ‘normal.’ If we want our children to grow up in a nation that lives to its highest ideals, we can and must be better.”

CNN’s Van Jones is often seen as a moderate voice in politics, but this week he pulled no punches when calling out white liberals like Amy Cooper who pretend to be allies while actually proving to be just as dangerous as card-carrying white supremacists.
“It’s not the racist person in the KKK that we have to worry about,” Jones said Friday morning while discussing the racial tensions that have reached a boiling point this week following the protests that erupted in Minneapolis.
“It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park who would tell you right now, ‘Oh I don’t see race, race is no big deal to me, I see all people the same, I give to charities’,” he continued, mimicking people like Cooper who keep getting caught making false police reports against Black citizens.
Van Jones on CNN just now:
“It’s not the racist person in the KKK that we have to worry about. It’s the white, liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park” we have to look out for.
“But the minute she sees as Black man who she does not respect, or who she has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been taught by the Aryan Nation,” Jones said.
“A Klan member could not have been better trained to pick up her phone and tell the police it’s a Black man,” he declared.
He also warned that “even the most liberal, well-intentioned white person” has a racist “virus” in the way they’ve been socialized that can be “activated” at any moment.
“What you’re seeing now is a curtain falling away,” said the CNN commentator. “Those of us who have been burdened by this every minute, every second of our entire lives are fragile right now… we are tired.”
While Jones is calling out people like Cooper, in a surprise development, Christian Cooper the bird watcher she racially profiled, appeared on CNN Tonight with Don Lemonon Tuesday to ask the public to temper their reactions.
“While she may not be or consider herself a racist, that particular act was definitely racist,” he told CNN’s Don Lemon. “And the fact that, that was her recourse at that moment—granted, it was a stressful situation, a sudden situation—you know, maybe a moment of spectacularly poor judgment. But she went there and had this racist act that she did.”
