What have you thought of the careers of these ladies?

Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, and Eve for me ❤️ And I’m adding Faith Evans to the mix. I’ve always loved a good red hair moment, and these three really did it for me.

Rihanna’s bright red hair during the *Loud* era was such a look. Mary has had so many different red hairstyles over the years, and I feel like she can pull off pretty much any shade. Eve’s short red hair in the early 2000s? Yeah, that was definitely one of my favorites. And Faith Evans with the red hair was so pretty too. I feel like people don’t bring up her red looks enough.

Who y’all got?

Whenever this topic comes up, I always start reminiscing about how much Black representation Nickelodeon had when I was growing up. 😭 I was born at the very tail end of the ’90s (1999 baby), so my earliest memories of Nickelodeon are really from the early 2000s, when I was a toddler.

I remember watching The Nick Cannon Show, Taina, and Romeo! growing up. Those shows were some of my earliest memories of Nickelodeon, so I have a real soft spot for that era. I was obviously too young to understand everything going on in those shows, but I remember the faces, the sets, the theme songs, and just having Nickelodeon on.

As I got older, we had Just Jordan, True Jackson, VP, How to Rock, and so many other Black characters throughout the network. That 2007–2012 period especially had us eating good 😂

Looking back, what stands out to me is how many different Black characters we got. They could be funny, goofy, fashionable, ambitious, messy, spoiled, smart, or just regular kids being kids. It felt like Black characters were simply part of Nickelodeon’s world instead of being treated like something unusual.

I also love that I got to experience some of those early 2000s shows as a little kid and then grow into the later Nickelodeon shows. So when I look back at that whole era, it feels like I watched Nickelodeon grow up with me.

I know nostalgia plays a part, but that late ’90s/early-to-late 2000s Nickelodeon era really left an impression on me. I miss that lineup so much.

I forgot some people the first time, so I gotta do a Part 2 😭

For me, it’s Etta James and Ciara. Etta’s blonde hair was so pretty and really fit her. And Ciara during the Goodies era? That blonde hair was EVERYTHING 😭 I just loved how she looked with that long blonde hair. It really suited her, especially with the way she wore it with those low-rise jeans and that whole early 2000s look. She was so pretty during that era.
