I’m interested in the Kasha Thompson one. That FMC seemed crazy as hell in the first book. 😂😂😂

✨4 Questions for Nikesha Elise Williams✨ I spoke to award-winning author about her latest novel, The Seven Daughters of Dupree, at @petersburgbookfest at Virginia State University. @nikesha_elise’s multi-generational historical fiction novel was released in January. In our interview at @resist_bks’ annual Black book festival, she shares which Dupree woman is the most misunderstood and which Dupree women she sees herself the most in. The Chicago native who is also an Emmy Award-winning producer is currently working on contemporary novel with “another large cast of characters.” #bookstagram #blackbookstagram #petersburgbookfest #authorinterview #historicalfiction

Изнанка медийности Тельжана АХМЕТОВА знают не только в родном городе. Известность ему принесла обычная шутка в социальных сетях о внешнем сходстве с британским актером Томом Харди, которая неожиданно набрала миллионы просмотров. Республиканские СМИ подхватили историю, костанайца пригласили в Алматы, где стилисты полностью сменили ему имидж. Так простой парень, работающий грузчиком в супермаркете, стал развивать свой блог. Однако у внезапной популярности оказалась и обратная сторона – новые посты принесли ему уже не миллионы просмотров, а миллионы долгов. …История началась с банального звонка из косметологического центра: Тельжану сделали заманчивое предложение. – Звонили из Cocoage, предлагали бесплатные процедуры, – рассказал «КН» 36-летний блогер. – Я к ним пришел, они сделали мне диагностику, сказали, что кожа плохая, нужно что-то делать. У них очень дорогие процедуры, в которых я совсем не разбираюсь. Предложили 50-процентную скидку, якобы весь комплекс стоит 2, 2 млн тенге, а мне обе щали сделать за 1, 2 млн, потому что я блогер. Говорили, что и другие блогеры у них обслуживаются. Я сам не понял как оформил рассрочку на 1, 2 млн тенге. Вел себя как дурак. Даже договор толком не прочитал. Уже дома Тельжан понял, что сумма для него неподъемная – тогда он временно не работал. Парень обратился в Cocoage, попросил расторгнуть договор. Клиника пошла ему навстречу, но, по словам Тельжана, на нем все равно повис долг в 400 с лишним тысяч тенге. – У них договор как-то так составлен оказывается, поэтому мне вернули не всю сумму, – говорит он. – И я такой злой был – опубликовал посты в соцсетях, чтобы другие люди не попали в такую ситуацию. Мне позвонили и потребовали все удалить, иначе подадут в суд и посадят. Я удалил, но в суд на меня все равно подали, требовали 3 миллиона тенге. А я работаю грузчиком, откуда у меня такие деньги? Просрочки уже пошли, не знаю что делать. Ходил в полицию, но заявление не приняли, ходил в суд – то же самое… Продолжение в карусели.
