Canadian actor-brothers Shamier Anderson ( Wynonna Earp ) and Stephan James ( If Beale Street Could Talk ), alongside their youngest brother Sheldon James, have co-founded Canada’s first Black-owned venture capital firm dedicated to BIPOC entrepreneurs. The Bay Mills Investment Group will support and mentor young entrepreneurs in the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people of color) community in building profitable businesses through its Bay Mills Diversity Fund. The company will accept pitches from all industry verticals but said it is paying close attention to entertainment, real estate ownership and management, cannabis production and distribution, and education. The team said that they have raised $15M CAD of an initial round of $25M CAD, en route to complete three planned additional rounds for a total fund size of $100M CAD for the Bay Mills Diversity Fund by June 2021. They are actively seeking corporate partnerships and accredited investors.

As someone who’s literally written a book about Breaking Bad , I’ve been asked a lot lately about what episodes might be most useful to watch before the movie comes out. Vince Gilligan has kept so much about the movie under wraps — beyond the fact that it deals with what Jesse Pinkman ( Aaron Paul ) does in the immediate aftermath of the series finale — that it’s hard to say what you need to see. But this would be my suggested refresher course on all things Jesse Pinkman, in order of importance: “Confessions” … [Read more...] about ‘El Camino’ Cheat Sheet: ‘Breaking Bad’ Episodes to Binge Before the Spinoff Movie
