Black Women Activists and Stars to Run White Stars’ Instragram Accounts for #ShareTheMicNow Campaign
All day Wednesday, dozens of prominent Black women in Hollywood, fashion, business, literature and political activism will be taking over the Instagram accounts of white women including Julia Roberts and Elizabeth Warren, as part of the #ShareTheMicNow campaign, which aims to amplify the voices and stories of Black women.
Created by Bozoma Saint John, Cmo at Endeavor, fashion designer Stacey Bende, and bestselling writers Luvvie Ajayi Jones and Glennon Doyle, the campaign will see 46 Black women run the accounts of 46 white women. “When the world listens to women, it listens to white women. For far too long, Black women’s voices have gone unheard, even though they’ve been using their voices loudly for centuries to enact change,” #ShareTheMicNow said in a press release. “Today, more than ever, it is Necessary that we create a unifying action to center Black women’s lives, stories, and calls to action. We need to listen to Black women.

The first season of Gsn's Window Warriors kicked off on Tuesday night, introducing the show's contestants, a group of premiere window designers -- and resulting in a shocking elimination.
The worlds of art and commerce will collide each week, giving the contestants a new design challenge while battling it out in front of three trendsetting judges, Carson Kressley, Tai Beauchamp, and Douglas Little. Host Garcelle Beauvais will be leading the window designers into their challenges.
For the first challenge of the show, designers were randomly given one special dress from Macy's to incorporate into a window display that featured a celebration theme. The challenge weeded out the competition, with visual merchandiser Brittany Bush as the first designer to be eliminated, while stylist Timothy Howe won the top window display of the night.

There's a new design show coming to Gsn, and it's all about the art of the window display. Et caught up with Window Warriors' design judge, Carson Kressley, ahead of the show's premiere, where he revealed the aesthetic challenges the designers will face and what happens when tensions get high.
"The challenges have a twist," said the 46-year-old fashion expert. "I think that's what makes it so fun, it's not just about creating a really beautiful window."
The Queer Eye star also dished on the thought-provoking material the designers will have to work with -- and it sounds like there will be a lot of movement going on.
"Sometimes they have to use upcycled material, sometimes they have to use a living mannequin, sometimes they have to use live plant materials," explained Kressley. "It really depends on the brand, what they want, but those additional challenges make it interesting, make it really creative."
