MUSIC MONDAY: BEYONCE
Does anyone else think Beyoncé reps Africa more than some Africans do? Earlier in the year she performed her hit "Grown Woman" at the Chime for Change Concert, and featured African inspired dance moves. On her latest album, her song "Flawless" features the work of Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

SPOTLIGHT: AFRICAN HOLLYWOOD WRAP-UP
This year has seen a remarkable increase of African actors in Hollywood films. From Chiwetel Ejiofor's painstakingly beautiful and poignant role in Steve McQueen's "12 years A Slave" to David Oyelowo's powerful performance in Lee Daniels "The Butler", it seems as though African actors and films alike are finally getting the attention and respect of Hollywood.
Both Idris Elba and Chiwetel Ejiofor, two TDB faves and my absolute obsessions, recently sat down with the Queen of daytime TV, Oprah Winfrey, to discuss their respective films. Idris Elba, who is currently starring in the Nelson Mandela bio pic " Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom" discussed Mandela's legacy and what it meant for him to portray such an honored and beloved man.
Here's a clip of Idris recounting his first night in Nelson Mandela's prison cell.

IN REMEMBRANCE: NELSON MANDELA
Normally, Friday is dedicated to fashion, beauty or fitness. However, I wanted to take this time honor a TDB hero, Nelson Mandela. Not only has he done so much for South Africa, but he's done so much for humanity.
He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Mandiba!
