As part of promotions for her new chess-themed Disney movie “Queen of Katwe,” Lupita Nyong’o recently was interviewed by Zendaya on the beauty of the game. Zendaya admitted to not knowing much about chess and Lupita told her she was fortunate to receive a lesson by Ugandan chess player Robert Katende, about whom the movie is based.

“The skill you learn in chess that is so applicable to life is to look at where you are and where you need to go and figuring out how to get there, figuring out the obstacles in your way,” explained Nyong’o.

She noted the skills were especially important for the children of Katwe (a neighborhood in Kawala, the capitol of Uganda) depicted in the film, adding, “It is so applicable to the life they lead. Where even just to fetch water you to figure where the bully is and where is the ditch and all that and how to get there safest, fastest and in one piece.”

“Queen of Katwe” is now in theaters.

Scott Sasso, the founder of #10Deep, announced his Scott Sasso, the founder of #10Deep, announced his departure from the streetwear brand he established 28 years ago in 1995. Renowned for pioneering captivating graphics such as the Knuckle Ring Tee, among other iconic designs, the brand achieved success by crafting impactful designs inspired by a fusion of hip hop, NYC skate culture and social consciousness.
 
Announcing the news on X, Sasso wrote, "It is done. What happened to MeccaUSA? What happened to AlphaNumeric? What happened to PNB? What happened to 10.Deep? The particulars of the stories are different, but all had 'partnerships' with the same company, and the results ended up being the same.

"Today my ties to 10.Deep were severed once and for all. Big bank, takes little bank. But with what goal? I'm not sure of the answer to that question is. I think of what I've seen with the other brands that share the a similar history."
