Omarion & His Brother O’Ryan Covered Preme Magazine & Sent The Internet Into A Tizzy

Omarion and his brother, O'Ryan recently posed for the cover of PREME Magazine looking like two freshly baked snacks and after spending the last few weeks in quarantine, sis is hungry. I am sis... And apparently, Black Twitter felt me on that. Although O'Ryan, who shares a 11-year-old daughter with Jhené Aiko, is rarely seen alongside his brother, the Internet has spoken and the duo's cover shoot did not disappoint.
The pictures, which ultimately sent social media into a tizzy, confirmed that Omarion has had one of the greatest glow-ups of all time, but in the former B2K member's recent interview with PEOPLE TV's Reality Check, the Millennium Tour headliner revealed that his newfound evolution is much deeper than appearances and even sees himself "stepping into his maturity as a man".
Since being crowned King Booked and Unbothered, it appears that Omarion has been keeping that same energy since the quarantine, even introducing his children to the art of meditation.

The singer, who recently made care packages for grocery and delivery workers who are risking their lives during the pandemic, says that although the shift has been unexpected, it isn't much different from his everyday life:
"I've been self-quarantining for many, many years. Your home is your safe haven so this is like a piece of cake for me and my kids. They still have school every morning, so we're still on our schedule. We're still staying motivated and optimistic … so it's been fine."
We stan an unbothered king, and I'ma let y'all finish, but as previously stated, Omarion has had one of the most epic glow-ups in R&B history.

Celebrate International Women's Day With Wellness, Empowerment & More
International Women’s Day, celebrated on Saturday, March 8th, presents an excellent opportunity to honor and celebrate women. As March marks Women’s History Month, there are numerous chances throughout the month to pay tribute to the remarkable contributions of women.
Both International Women's Day and Women's History Month serve as reminders of the progress made toward gender equality and the work still left to do.
They inspire ongoing advocacy for women's rights, fostering discussions on issues such as workplace discrimination, healthcare access, and representation in leadership. By celebrating women's contributions and amplifying their voices, these observances help pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.
Here are four ways to celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month.
Attend a Women History Month Event
This month, there are numerous events happening, particularly for International Women’s Day. One such event is organized by Media Girls Network, which will be held over a multi-day period starting on Thursday. The entire event is dedicated to celebrating women.
On Friday, the organization will honor prominent women in business and entertainment, including the OMG Girlz, celebrity restauranteur Gocha Hawkins, and more.
On Saturday, guests can indulge in a day of wellness and self-care, featuring a fitness class, massages, a journaling workshop, and other activities. For more information about these events, visit www.mediagirlsontour.com.

Reports indicate that women constitute 39.1% of business owners, and this percentage is steadily rising. In light of this, let’s celebrate and support women-owned businesses this month.
Here are a few ways to do so: shop at their establishments, leave positive reviews, follow and engage with them on social media, collaborate with them, or contribute to their crowdfunding efforts.
Support Women's Rights Groups

Since President Trump took office, we’ve witnessed an unprecedented number of rights being reversed, including DEI programs. Women have been particularly concerned about his decision regarding abortion and reproductive rights. Recently, he dismissed the Idaho Emergency Abortion case, which was a legal battle to ensure Idahoans had access to emergency abortion care.
Writing in her Substack blog, Abortion, Everyday, journalist and abortion rights advocate, Jessica Valenti, said, “By dropping this case, the Trump administration is sending a clear message that anti-abortion states don’t have to adhere to [the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act] by giving pregnant patients life-saving care.”
Instead of waiting on Trump's next move regarding women's rights, support women's rights organizations and charities like In Our Own Voice Action Fund and Planned Parenthood.
Empower Others

Use your voice to raise awareness about the challenges women encounter. This can be achieved through social media platforms or by speaking at local rallies and events. By leading by example, you can inspire others to get involved and contribute to the support.
