One of the most popular and highly recognized standup comedians on the road today has also made quite an impression in the television, film and radio arenas. D.L. can currently be heard on the New York airwaves, as host of the morning show on WYKS-FM. In just a few months on air, DL has managed to increase the listenership for the station. DL also serves as a weekly contributor to the nationally syndicated radio show, “The Tom Joyner Morning Show.” Most recently, D.L. hosted the NBC game show pilot “Who’s Bluffing Who”, in which 7 contestants will try to win half a million dollars. Each episode they will use their bluffing skills — including possibly stealing each other's money — to advance in the game as they are gradually whittled down to one winner. Known for his astute political savvy in true comedian style, DL served as host of his own late night talk show on CNN “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News.” Proving he could, indeed break news, D.L. was able to uncover startling, news-making comments from such guests as former White House press secretaries Scott McClellan and Ari Fleischer, as well as RNC chair Michael Steele. A standup comedian to the core, D.L. starred in his own one-hour special for HBO entitled “Unapologetic.” The special, D.L.’s fourth for the network, is currently available on DVD. In 2007, D.L. starred on the NBC series “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” and also HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam”, as well as the BET series “S.O.B: Socially Offensive Behavior”. As the star and producer of his namesake television show that ran on ABC and UPN “The Hughleys,” D.L. is also well known as one of the standout comedians on the hit comedy docu-film The Original Kings of Comedy . A veteran of numerous talk show appearances D.L. switched the tables in 2005, hosting his own talk show on Comedy Central “Weekends at the DL.” In addition, D.L. has headlined several comedy specials including “D.L. Hughley: Going Home,” “D.L. Hughley Live”, “Shocked & Appalled” and the recent “Unapologetic”. DL’s first love, always has been, and always will be, standup comedy. “From the minute I first walked onstage and picked up a microphone,” he says, “I knew that it was what I was meant to do.” @realdlhughley

With NYFW in full swing, the girls are ripping the runways across the Big Apple. Last night, Bedstuy bombshell Lola Brookes debuted sleek blonde tresses when she hit the runway at Mefeater Magazine’s second annual #NYFW Galentine’s show to perform her hit song Don’t Play With It.
Powered by Mielle Organics, the annual fashion show spotlighted three rising designers. Influencer and reality TV star Dess Dior strut down the runway in a bronze triangle bikini top with matching shorts and multicolored fur by designer LuLu James. According to the Lulu James Instagram page, the statement-making coat was crafted with 70+ skins. Celebrity makeup artist Akila Face closed out the runway with eye-popping makeup. Maiya The Donn also performed her song Telfy rocking a money green fur by the exotic furrier.
Pink Lucy Design House opened the show with a bold display of colorful creations and structured silhouettes.
She was followed by designer Rupal Banerjee, who presented a modern and soft muted collection with trendy ready-to-wear pieces.

MEFeater founder Gabrielle Amani hopped on the mic to thank attendees and her business partner (her mother Simone) for their support. “When we started this it was because we wanted to give people of color a platform to really show how amazing and special they are.”
Rapstress Cleotrapa and Ken ended the night with an energetic performance at the MEFeater Galentine’s official after-party at the Bowery Rooftop.
