She unapologetically redefines what it means to be a modern artist. Introducing Doechii - the ultimate chameleon of the music world. Style in the Making - Doechii’s Fashion Beginnings: Early on in her music career, Doechii’s fashion origin story was all about breaking boundaries and experimenting with unconventional styling choices. She often embraced what her adoring fans call a “trashy-core” aesthetic - with unexpected elements to her wardrobe such as trucker hats with gowns or pairing edgy streetwear with high-fashion pieces. She had featured designers in her closet - consisting of DSquared2, KNWLS, and Dion Lee - showcasing her ability to blend avant-garde fashion with a personal edge. This fearless approach would set the tone for each aesthetic in her career. Breaking Through Fashion - Doechii’s “Breakthrough” Era: During Doechii’s Breakthrough Era, she made it her mission to break boundaries in fashion. This phase can only be described as the “Naughty-Schoolgirl” aesthetic, which later would evolve into a sophisticated and daring style. Standout pieces included corset jackets, oversized blazers, and statement accessories. At the Grammys, she was a master at cohesive styling - featuring dramatic silhouettes and bold textures that turned heads on the red carpet. In her streetwear, she effortlessly combined baggy jeans, unbuttoned shirts, and unconventional accessories like ties as belts, creating a nostalgic yet modern take on former fashion styles. In her known looks, she frequently collaborated with high-fashion brands such as Thom Browne, DSquared2, and Valentino - proving yet again that she can mix and match novel fashion pieces. This era solidified her era as a fashion trailblazer, her looks often went viral and earned her a spot on the best-dressed list. The Art of Rebranding - Doechii’s 2024 Aesthetic Shift: This transformation was not just about clothes - it was a pivotal tool for storytelling. The stark shift from “Trashy-Core” to “Classy-on-the-Street” is apparent in her newly polished, preppy, and streetwear-inspired look. During this era, her wardrobe consisted of featured tailored pieces, suiting, and “Office Siren” elements, blending nostalgia with a contemporary flair. Designers like Thom Browne, Miu Miu, Vivienne Westwood, and Burberry became staples in her ensembles. Doechii not only used fashion to reflect her growth, authenticity, and connection to hip-hop’s rich history - she became a visual narrative, expressing who she was, where she had been, and where she was headed.

Demonstrating versatility and innovation - she blends her former eras, while keeping her approach with mixing high fashion with streetwear. On stage, she integrates bold textures like sequins, leather, and metallics as well as vibrant color palettes and intricate designs to add visual drama. Red carpet looks include structured pieces, such as tailored suits with exaggerated shoulders or corset-inspired gowns with accessories such as oversized jewelry or unique headpieces - creating a feast for the eyes. Drawing inspiration from hip-hop legends and ‘90s nostalgia - she models baggy jeans paired with crop tops or oversized shirts, chunky sneakers and boots, and with unexpected details like ties-as-belts and layered jewelry. Her presence at global fashion weeks indicate her ability to embody various personas - from her barefoot and bohemian style for her Chloe look, to her theatrically-designed structured goddess dress at Schiaparelli. She uses fashion to express her identity, artistry, and evolution. Doechii has not only redefined her personal aesthetic - she was bound to cement her way in the world. She did this by making her status known as a trendsetter and cultural icon. Fearless, dynamic, and unapologetically unique - her journey through fashion mirrors her musical evolution.

At just 8 years old, Jahleel Kamara is already making serious waves in Hollywood. With a résumé that includes Disney+’s Rise , ABC’s Manifest , Sundance standout Nanny , and BET+’s B-Boy Blues , Jahleel’s latest role might be his most electrifying yet. The rising young star brings heart, humor, and heat to the screen in Shadow Force , the highly anticipated Lionsgate action-thriller starring Kerry Washington and Omar Sy. Words By Angel Neal, Disrupshion Magazine I had the pleasure of speaking with Jahleel, whose boundless energy and charisma are just as powerful off-screen as they are on it. In Shadow Force , he plays Kai, a boy with a deep love for music and an even deeper connection to family—especially to his mother, in a moving reunion scene that’s sure to tug at heartstrings. So how does a young actor balance comedic timing with emotional depth? For Jahleel, it’s all about focus. “I had to lock in,” he said. “Get in a quiet space, read every word, and tap into my inner side.” That commitment shows in every scene, from Kai’s hilarious Lionel Richie obsession to his unforgettable delivery of, “A band ain’t nothing to F with”—a moment that had the whole crew laughing. Though Jahleel doesn’t listen to Richie much in real life, he has a soft spot for the music thanks to a first-grade school performance. “I just remember my teacher saying it was one of his best songs,” he said with a smile. What makes Shadow Force even more special for Jahleel is its action-packed nature. “I never did an action movie before,” he shared. “I love me some action, let’s just say that.” Acting alongside powerhouses like Washington and Sy only pushed him to elevate his game. “They’re such powerful actors, and they’re really going to bring this movie up.” Born to Sierra Leonean heritage and acting since age 4, Jahleel credits his background and experiences for shaping his approach. “I’ve done comedy, thrillers, calm stuff—and now action,” he said. He’s also gotten to see the world through his work, filming in places like Colombia, Atlanta, and Greece. Despite the glitz, Jahleel remains grounded and incredibly self-aware for his age. When asked what he hopes people take away from his performance, he said, “Some people might just see me as funny, but I hope they see the other side too. The emotional side.” And that’s what makes Jahleel Kamara a force in his own right—one that’s not just here to entertain, but to leave a lasting mark. Disrupshion Magazine is proud to spotlight this bright young talent as he continues to rise. Keep your eyes on Jahleel—this is only the beginning. The film also stars Mark Strong; Da’Vine Joy Randolph; and Cliff “Method Man” Smith. “Shadow Force” hits theatres May 9.

Have you ever had a man who wasn’t your man, and you wanted to talk about it but didn’t know how because it felt weird or wrong to admit that you have feelings for your man who’s not your man? Sub in whatever gender preference, and almost all of us have been there—and Cylla Senii, tired of skirting around those uncomfortable topics, brought it to the public’s attention on multiple platforms. By : Kiara Hurst Photog: @adose.of.artes HMU: @justshupier Bouncing between Atlanta and New York in her early twenties, Senii and her friends found themselves swapping wild, hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking stories about modern dating. Ghosting. Being dumped over text. Boyfriends caught creeping on Craigslist. You name it, they lived it. It was the realization that she and all her friends were in situationships that gave birth to Situationships , the web series turned TV show. "We were always venting about how messy things were," she laughs. "At one point, I just thought, 'Yo, we're all literally in situationships. This could be a show.'" Situationships arrived during a time when an influx of Black women were rising to fill the noticeable gap in representation. Inspired by web series pioneers like Issa Rae and the creators behind Black & Sexy TV, Senii set out to build her vision from scratch. Juggling a nine-to-five in advertising while scribbling down story ideas during her daily commute, she eventually teamed up with her producing partners, Brandon and Iris, both fresh out of college themselves. "It was really just a lot of stumbling and figuring it out," she says. "We had no idea what we were doing, but we were determined." With her small crew and sheer perseverance, Senii set out to make Situationships a reality. Lacking resources, Senii had to take on many roles herself while pursuing her dream. But wearing all the hats—creator, writer, director, producer, actor—took a toll. It wasn't long before Senii realized she had to learn one of the most crucial skills for any creative: delegation. "I was right out of college leading a team of 50 people," she says. "Growing a team was necessary for me to not burn out—bringing on top producers, collaborating with other writers, hiring social media experts, marketing people—it was all part of learning how to actually lead a creative project." Senii's hustle is a sign of a broader shift in the entertainment industry. Traditional barriers to entry still exist, especially for women and people of color, but social media and digital platforms have paved new pathways. "If you're not born into the industry or connected, you have to create your own opportunities," she says. "You can literally create from the palm of your hand now. That's how I started—uploading to YouTube." Still, despite the proliferation of platforms, authenticity remains the true currency. Senii's work—whether comedic or gut-wrenchingly real—sits at the intersection of truth, culture, and humor. "So many of our stories as Black women, as creators of color, have historically been left out," she says. "It's important for me to be authentic and tell the stories that haven't been told." On the corporate side of the industry, she's seen how a focus on numbers and profit can strip projects of their realness. "Audiences today don't want smoke and mirrors. They want real," she explains. "That's why people are leaning more into creators." With that focus on authenticity, Senii also values connecting to her audience, which led, in 2024, to the launch of the Situationships podcast on Revolt TV. Beyond expanding the universe around Situationships , Senii says, “The podcast allows us to reach audiences directly and consistently—talking about dating, relationships, culture, and bringing in amazing experts.” With the Situationships TV series now in development it’s undeniable that Senii is on the path toward greatness. Senii's story is proof that success isn't just about talent or luck. It's about perseverance, community, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity. And as Situationships continues to evolve, one thing remains clear: this is just the beginning. "There are so many more stories to tell," she says, smiling. "And trust me—we're about to tell them all." To keep with all things Cylla follow her here @cyllasenii .

Fashion has always been a playground for innovation, but today's runway shows proves that nothing is impossible when it comes to fashion designs. These designs range from gravity-defying silhouettes to tech-infused garments that glow, shift, or even move. The goal is to aim for making jaws drop that will redefine the industry. The runway is no longer a showcase - it is a revolution. Tailored for Tech - The Evolution of High-Tech Textiles: Step into a realm where fashion defies the ordinary - a world where designers are revolutionizing the runway with next-gen materials straight out of science fiction. From self-repairing textiles that heal with a touch of liquid metal couture that molds to the wearers form to bioengineered silks that shimmer like cosmic dust. It does not just end there; holographic weaves transform garments into living canvases that react to motion and light, bioluminescent threads pulse with celestial energy, and you can drape yourself in liquid crystal textiles that shift hues with a mere thought. Fashion is embracing an interstellar future - where couture is not just worn, it is what you experience. Astro-Aesthetic - The Cosmic Revolution in Beauty & Styling: Prepare to be transported beyond the limits of earthly beauty - where it goes beyond beauty standards that make you feel different. Out of place is the new beautiful as models walk the runway in UV-reactive pigments, their skin glowing like distant galaxies or in cosmic contours, shimmering nebula-toned eyeshadows, and holographic highlighters. But, get this, technology is pushing the boundaries even further with LED-infused hairstyles and motion-sensitive makeup that shifts in response to movement. Designers know no bounds when it comes to their designs while crafting looks that capture the enchanting chaos of the cosmic phenomena with supernova explosions, swirling nebulae, and deep-space wonders. No longer just about aesthetics. these avant-garde beauty trends challenge perceptions of identity and embrace an ethereal vision of the future. Beyond Earth's Pull - Anti-Gravity Couture Takes Flight: The runway is transforming into a gravity-defying spectacle. The galactic galaxy zone is the limit with designers employing the fusion of technology and movement that is birthing anti-gravity creations - where materials levitate, shift dynamically, and push the boundaries of perception. Where movement is just as vital as the fabric itself - floating silhouettes appear suspended in mid air, dresses ripple and shift like weightless celestial waves, and kinetic couture moves organically with the wearer. Fashion is no longer static - it is alive and bending reality, proving that when creativity collides with science, nothing is impossible. Fashion is no longer about turning heads - it is about blowing minds. The runway has transcended into a cosmic playground, where designers are bending reality and creating the impossible. Say goodbye to gravity's out of season styles, and hello to science fiction serving as the blueprint for next season's must-haves. We're living in an era where the runway rivals earth's frontier, and the only rule is to break the rules. In fashion: impossible is just another word for next level.

Tony Talks (Antonio Baldwin), the comedy content creator with millions of viral views, is taking his talent to the next level with the release of Boss Up: The Musical, his first-ever feature film. Boss Up tells the story of “fabulous and flawless” Cassandra, who, after being fired from her job, embarks on a journey of self-reinvention. The film is funny, poignant, and filled with music (and right now, it’s free to watch on Revry.tv !). Interview By: Claire Brown Photography by: Paris Steward Editor-In-Chief Angel Neal What prompted Tony to take on the challenge of writing, starring in, and funding a full-length film? “It was super, super crazy,” he admits, about making the jump from one-minute content to a 54-minute feature. “I’ve never written an entire movie before.” But after connecting with filmmakers at the Atlanta Film Festival, Tony had a vision for a musical starring Cassandra, one of the recurring characters he portrays on his social media channels. He assembled a team, poured his passion into the script, and brought his vision to life. Tony quickly realized that starring in and producing a long-form film was very different from his usual content creation style for social media. For one thing, it made him slow down. “I’m used to filming something the same day, editing it the next, and then posting it,” he explains. “With a movie, it’s completely different. You have to take your time.” Another difference between film production and content creation? Going from being a mostly solo operator to managing a large cast and crew. “I was managing so many different personalities while also playing the main character,” he says. “It was a learning experience, but I’m such a sponge – I loved it.” As a first-time filmmaker, Tony was intentional about casting actors he had worked with before. “The woman who plays my mom? She gave me one of my very first acting roles in Atlanta,” he shares. “So it was really full-circle to be able to hire her for my project years later.” Tony personally knew almost everyone in the cast and even wrote many of the roles with specific people in mind. “That made the casting process super easy,” he says. At its core, Boss Up: The Musical  is about self-discovery. The story follows a powerful woman who loses her job title – an identity-defining role – and has to figure out who she is without it. “I relate to that,” Tony says. “As a content creator, that’s my title. And I didn’t know who I was without it.” He believes the film’s themes resonate universally. “So many people are walking around as their job occupations,” he says. “When we lose our jobs, it sends us spiraling, like, ‘Who am I now?’” While the story could have taken a dramatic turn, Tony stayed true to his comedic roots. “I wanted to tell it in a way that was funny, with music and jokes,” he explains. Despite not being a trained singer or dancer, Tony was drawn to the musical format. “I genuinely love musicals,” he says. “Music heals the world,” he adds. “If you can tell a message through music successfully, that’s powerful.” And Tony isn’t done with musicals just yet. “The next film I make is going to be a musical too,” he reveals. His advice for other content creators looking to transition into filmmaking? “Learn how to work in teams and don’t be afraid to wear the hats you need to wear.” Looking back, Tony says he would step more into his role as an executive producer. “I was a little shy,” he admits. “I didn’t want to boss anyone around, but in certain parts, I needed to.” He sees that experience as a valuable learning curve for future projects. While Boss Up: The Musical  marks a bold new step in Tony Talks’ career, it’s clear this is just the beginning! To stay up with all things Tony Talks follow him here: @iamtonytalks !

The fashion industry was once defined by narrow beauty standards that did not leave much room for inclusivity. Now, the industry is taking on a more modern shift in their approach.

One Curve Ahead of the Game - Plus Size Ranges Reshaping Style: Expanding beyond single number sizes, more brands are going above the limit by including sizes 14 and up for a wider range audience's closet.

Words By Angel Neal Images by BET+ In a world where truth can be twisted and betrayal hides behind a friendly smile, The Accused —now streaming on BET+—is a gripping thriller that challenges what we think we know about innocence, loyalty, and the cost of uncovering the truth. At the heart of the film is Dani , a brilliant plant geneticist whose world is turned upside down when she’s wrongfully accused of her fiancé’s murder. Armed only with her gut instinct, sharp intellect, and unwavering will to survive, Dani goes on the run, determined to prove her innocence. The film keeps viewers on the edge of their seats as she uncovers layer after layer of deception. It's compelling. It's strategic. And it reminds us that sometimes, truth is in the eye of the beholder . Produced by Worldwide Entertainment and Media and Choice Films for BET+, with producers Pierre Romain, Julie Solinger, Summer Crockett Moore, and Tony Glazer, and executive produced by Jason Harvey, The Accused offers more than just suspense—it offers perspective. Disrupshion Magazine caught up briefly with the cast and had a chance to speak with Rockmond Dunbar, who plays Marcus Wainwright , a scientist who’s committed to giving back to the community and standing by what’s right—until he discovers a deadly secret that seals his fate. Though his screen time is short, his character's impact is powerful. When asked about Marcus’s role in the larger themes of truth and justice, Dunbar shared: “If you believe in the truth, you’ll sacrifice your body—but that doesn’t mean you’ll sacrifice your soul. Truth should live 100% of the time. It’s the internal conflict of every human being trying to do the right thing. You have to believe that you’re going to win through all odds.” That statement hits at the core of what The Accused is really about: the tension between doing what's right and the price you pay for it. The film explores the duality of human nature—how someone you trust implicitly can turn out to be your worst enemy. The betrayal cuts deep, and in Dani’s case, it becomes the catalyst for a high-stakes journey filled with twists and moral complexity. There’s vengeance, but there’s also teamwork—an underlying message that justice isn’t just served by one person’s actions, but by those who choose to stand up and do what’s right, even when it’s dangerous. The Accused doesn’t just entertain—it provokes. It forces us to question who we trust and why, and what we’re willing to risk in pursuit of justice. Stream it now on BET+, and ask yourself—what would you do if the truth could cost you everything? @worldwidentertainmentandmedia @TheJamisonAgency @BetPlus Hashtags: #TheAccused #Worldwideentertainmentandmedia #TheJamisonAgency #BetPlus

Kordell Beckham's journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since winning Season 6 of Love Island USA , he has navigated the transition from reality TV to the glamorous world of fashion, runway shows, and brand partnerships. His meteoric rise has left fans and critics alike in awe, but for Kordell, it’s been a dream come true. WORDS BY ANGEL NEAL PHOTOGRAPHY MALIZEE WILSON STYLIST ANGEL NEAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR MARTY MCFRESH STYLIST ASSISTANTS ANTHONY MUNDLE, TERRA ATKINS, AND CAYLA BAEZ Reflecting on his journey, Kordell shared, “Man, my journey has been insane. I’ve been making my dreams come true. I’ve been completing goals, from my most wanted deals to walking on the runway, to even making it in Vogue —that’s pretty insane. My whole life has been a 360 or 180, whichever one you want to spin, whichever way.” But even with the spotlight on him, Kordell has never lost sight of the importance of authenticity. “For me, it’s very important, because it’s like, if you’re not being yourself, who are you trying to impress?” he says. “You don’t have to put on this facade to impress anyone. If they don’t like you for you, they just don’t like you. That’s something I stand by in both my personal life and in front of the camera.” Being a role model has taken on a new meaning since Kordell made history as part of the first Black couple to win Love Island USA. “Man, that’s history right there,” Kordell says, still in disbelief about the moment. “When they say that no fully Black couple has ever won the show, it’s crazy to me. I think about it every day.” Navigating the pressures of fame while staying true to himself hasn’t been easy, but Kordell stays grounded by focusing on his goals. “I stay focused on what I want to do. I know what to do, what to say, and what not to say. If you drown out the negativity and keep the positive side going, it’s easy to stay focused,” he explains. “It was a bit of a shock when everything started happening so quickly, but I’m staying motivated.” The quiet moments backstage at New York Fashion Week showcased a different side of Kordell. “I was just observing everything. There was a lot going on. I was nervous, but I was also excited,” he admits, revealing the calm behind the scenes as he took it all in. As Kordell’s career continued to evolve, he dove into the world of modeling. “The transition from reality TV to modeling has been surprising. I started out modeling, but now I’m walking in bigger shows, like Fashion Week,” he says. “It’s been insane—coming from the island to high-profile gigs. I’m excited to see where it takes me.” Beyond the runway, Kordell’s aspirations are expanding into acting. “I’m working on my craft. Even if I don’t get the role, I want to make sure I’m on their mind for future roles,” he says, emphasizing his desire to break into the world of movies, especially action and drama. “I want to be a Marvel character. I’ll do my own stunts, no doubt.” His personal style is another testament to his growth. Kordell’s fashion has evolved from high school to college, and now, collaborating with stylist Marty, he’s found a unique blend of streetwear and prep. “It started in college when I mixed street with preppy. Then, Marty and I started working together, creating pieces that represent both of us,” he shares. When asked about his future in fashion, Kordell reveals, “I’m definitely still working on my own clothing line. I’ve been meeting with manufacturers, and it’s going to take time, but it’ll be worth it.” A visionary at heart, Kordell sees this as the next step in his journey. His influence has also extended to brand partnerships with major names like Samsonite, Target, and Liquor IV. But Kordell isn’t about taking just any deal. He ensures the partnerships align with his values. “The first thing I do is read the contract twice. I want to make sure that everything feels authentic to me,” he says. “I don’t want to sound like a robot or just do something for the money. If it doesn’t feel right, I’ll speak up.” Kordell’s commitment to giving back remains unwavering. He’s dedicated to serving as a positive role model and working with children in his community. “I love giving back to kids. Even if they don’t know who I am, I just love seeing the smiles on their faces,” he says. “I’m going to Dallas soon to do more work with kids, just because it makes their day brighter.” He’s also involved in his family’s business—Odell Beckham’s grooming line. “Yeah, I’m still working on my beard game,” Kordell laughs. “We’ve got some new things in the works, so I’m excited to see where it goes.” In addition to all of his ventures, Kordell has big plans for the future. “I want to align myself with more Black-owned businesses. I’m trying to break into movies, to be a superhero. But I also want to work with brands that I believe in and that represent who I am,” he says. “You have to speak things into existence, and that’s what I’m doing.” Success, to Kordell, isn’t defined by fame alone. “There are different types of success. You can have success in business, in your personal life, or even in a quiet, meaningful way. Success is about doing what makes you happy and making sure your actions align with your goals,” he shares thoughtfully. As he continues to build his empire, Kordell’s message is clear: “Never settle. Keep going, keep pushing, and don’t live in anyone’s shadow. Listen to your intuition. If something feels right, go for it.” With so many projects in the works and his sights set on even bigger goals, Kordell Beckham is proving that his journey is just beginning. His authenticity, drive, and commitment to lifting others will surely leave a lasting impact for years to come.
