Everyone is a critic when it comes to social media. And some people, are just plain, nasty. Their ugly heads roared once again this weekend when 22-year-old Keke Palmer shared a selfie of herself post tanning session on Snapchat.

She captioned the photo of her bikini top pushed to the side showing her tan line with, “When u about that tan life #darkerpleaaaaaseee.” In the photo the actress has on no makeup— but still looks confident.

Well, social media wash’t having it. Soon after she posted the photo, commenters were calling using “terrible”, “ugly”, and “disgusting” to describe the photo. Some even insinuated she was on drugs.

Here’s the problem.

The laundry list of makeup techniques and products available these days, is enough to mention for days. Actually, there are whole websites, Youtube entrepreneurs and businesses based around our obsession with makeup. There’s contouring, strobing, highlighting, one layer of foundation, another layer of concealer. And on and on and on.

We’ve gotten so makeup heavy that we don’t actually know what people look like underneath it all— and when “exposed”, it’s a surprise.

As noted by MadameNoire.com’s Veronica Wells: There is something wrong with people publicly shaming someone for their looks and suggesting that her natural appearance is wrong. It’s sentiments like this that keep the magazine industry photoshopping celebrities until they’re unrecognizable on their covers. It’s thoughts like this that make women, famous and not, scared to leave the house with a bare face, for fear that someone might hurl the same judgement they lodged at Keke onto them.

Let this be a two fold lesson to everyone. First, STOP BULLYING PEOPLE ONLINE. Not because they may or may not look better compared to you— but because it’s nasty, unfruitful, and does nothing for the progress of humankind.

And second, work on the beauty within. Treat your natural skin with care and every once in a while, give yourself a break from makeup.

It’ll be less of a surprise to you, and apparently, everyone else.

Emerging artist Goladen Chyld is set to go global with his new album, War Cry.

The new star spreads peace, love, and unity with informative lyrics, crafty rhymes, summoning productions, and vibrant song structure. The debut album encapsulates the illustrious history of Chicago Hip-Hop, which is drenched in the windy city’s historic activism and unity.

The album, its anthems, message, and authenticity are the perfect starting points for newfound fans of the rising star. Tracks like “Righteous Stepper,” “Savior,” and “Gifted” showcase the artist’s progressive music that advocates for equality. War Cry peaked at #3 on Apple Music and cemented Goalden Chyld’s movement.

“I don’t believe you can listen to this album and not feel some sense of purpose and duty to your community,” he told The Final Call.

He added: “I haven’t received a single negative review. The response has been overwhelmingly positive across all age groups. I’ve received messages from nonprofits showing children engaging with the music, which shows its impact. It’s amazing to see a project resonate so deeply across different segments of our community, reinforcing the need for unity and positive change.”

Chyld, real name Qadir Hakim, was raised by a single mother on the rough side of Chicago. His musical abilities transcend barriers for a wider audience with the storytelling of struggles and progress. His resume is filled with endorsements from big names in hip-hop, ranging from Shaquille O’Neal to Lil Baby to Funk Flex.

War Cry quickly gained popularity on streaming platforms and social media, becoming a highly discussed new artist of 2024. The album arrives at the perfect time, especially considering the current social climate.

Goalden Chyld supports the new album with a series of album release events, including an upcoming unity concert in Chicago on May 25 and a five-borough community tour event at SOBs in New York City on May 30.
