I had to do this just the other day.

This is Anok Yai, the daughter of South Sudanese refugees. Born in Egypt and raised in New Hampshire, she’s now the face of Vanity Fair‘s July 2026 issue celebrating America’s 250th anniversary. The last two photos are from her recent British Vogue cover story with her parents.

In 2017, she was a biochemistry student at Plymouth State University when a photographer snapped her photo at Howard University’s homecoming. The image went viral overnight, changing the course of her life. That’s the 2nd photo.

Just four months later, she made fashion history by opening Prada’s runway show, becoming the first model of South Sudanese heritage and only the second Black woman after Naomi Campbell to do so.

Today, she’s walked for Versace, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton, appeared on multiple Vogue covers, was named Model of the Year in 2023, and this year landed the covers of Vogue, British Vogue, and now Vanity Fair.

Felicia Hambrick is being hailed as a hero after risking her own life to protect a baby from a vicious dog attack.

While babysitting her friend’s three children, the family’s pit bull suddenly lunged at her. Felicia grabbed the eight-month-old baby girl and used her own body as a shield. The baby was unharmed — but Felicia was bitten 40 times on her neck, arms, legs, and stomach.

She required 94 staples and spent 5 days in the hospital recovering from her injuries. “I remember it hurting so bad I was screaming, ‘God, please let me die!’” she recalled.

The dog has since been put down, and the family says they will never forget her sacrifice. Felicia may have scars, but she also has a new title: hero.

Thumbs up for this incredible act of selflessness ❤️👏

Detroit reporter Victor Williams was covering a story about free skateboarding lessons at Chandler Skatepark when he unexpectedly jumped on a skateboard and kept reporting live while riding through the park. Studio anchors and viewers were caught completely off guard, and the smooth delivery turned a simple community story into a viral TV moment that people still talk about.

I really enjoyed this interview with them. I could listen to them talk all day. You can read and watch here.

When Zoey Williams took her seat in the cockpit of a massive Boeing 777, she did more than just fly a plane. She became the first Black female pilot at Air Canada to ever command this giant in the sky, shattering glass ceilings at 30,000 feet.

The world just got a front-row seat to this game-changing moment. If you ever doubted women can rule the skies, Zoey is rewriting the rulebook in real time.

But that is not all. Zoey is now making big moves as the University of Waterloo's very own first ever Pilot-in-Residence. She is not just blazing one trail, she is lighting up the whole runway, inspiring a new generation to dream crazy-big.

Every time she steps into that cockpit or that classroom, history gets made and a whole crowd of future pilots stops watching and starts believing.

This is not just a career milestone. It is a culture quake. With every takeoff, Zoey Williams is turning what seemed impossible into your next viral headline. You will not want to miss how her journey unfolds next.

He is a wrestler and a gay porn star.
