10 years, 3,000 creatives: The uphill battle for Black talent in Italian fashion

AP News MILAN (AP) — A day before an emerging Ghanaian designer made his Milan runway debut, Michelle Francine Ngonmo was troubleshooting how to squeeze more people into the venue to meet demand. Hours before the show, she was up before dawn with her team setting up backstage and the showroom.

Ngonmo, a 38-year-old Cameroonian-Italian, has dedicated her professional life to helping raise the profile of Africans and other people of color in Italian fashion and other creative fields “because there was, let’s say, a lack of representation of people like me.’’

He left the US for an internship. Trump's travel ban made it impossible to return

AP News The first time Patrick Thaw saw his University of Michigan friends together since sophomore year ended was bittersweet. They were starting a new semester in Ann Arbor, while he was FaceTiming in from Singapore, stranded half a world away.

One day last June he was interviewing to renew his U.S. student visa, and the next his world was turned upside down by President Donald Trump's travel ban on people from 12 countries, including Thaw's native Myanmar.

“Sucks that one American has to go out in the quarterfinals,” Anisimova said of her next match...

AP News So many things went wrong last Jan. 29 to contribute to the deadliest plane crash on American soil since 2001 that the National Transportation Safety Board isn't likely to identify a single cause of the collision between an airliner and an Army helicopter near Washington that killed 67 people at its hearing Tuesday.

Madison Keys beaten by podcast partner Jessica Pegula one minute, and cheering for her the next

AP News One minute, Jessica Pegula was dismantling Madison Keys’ title defense with a clinical 6-3, 6-4 victory.

The next, the ousted champion was promising her full support for Pegula as she heads into an all-American quarterfinal against fourth-seeded Amanda Anisimova.

“I don't think she needs any sort of pep talk from me,” said Keys, who does a podcast with Pegula and is a close friend. “I think she's sure of her game and how she's playing. We'll just be cheering her on.”

The Grand Slam Keys won a year ago was her first, which brings some peace even in...
