UCF crowned a Haitian-American homecoming king and queen! According to the university, this is the first time that Haitian-Americans have occupied the two crowns simultaneously. This is also the first time the respective crowns have gone to two black students, so yeah, UCF homecoming crowing history has been made. The honored queen? Political science major Sabrina Jerome! The honored king? Alpha Kappa Psi member Kevin Louidor. Both are active members of Club Kreyol, UCF’s Haitian-American student club. Jerome is a member of the Phi Alpha Kappa sorority and a member of the Leader’s Scholar’s Academy, in addition to being on board of the University of Central Florida’s Student Government Association.

Orlando—and Central Florida in general—has a huge Haitian-American population. A great number of Haitian-Americans attend UCF and its Club Kreyol club has the reputation of being one of the most stellar cultural clubs in the nation.

So proud of these two! Louidor is a Health Services Administration major and is set to graduate in 2018.

Here is the homecoming queen sporting a cultural statement!

And here are the homecoming monarchs celebrating their historic moment of glory.

Garcelle Beauvais will be in Spiderman Homecoming, set to be released in theaters next year. No word yet on the name of the character she will play. The movie’s screenwriters are John Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the scribes behind such TV series as “Bones” and “Horrible Bosses” respectively.

This Spiderman installment will be directed by Jon Watts, known previously for helming comedies. But, ahem, he did direct The Robo Cop, an action film in the early 2010s.

This will be an interesting role for Garcelle. As far as I can tell from her filmography, this is her first sci-fi adventure film.

Something tells me that a third Girlfriend Getaway will be on her list of projects. Maybe she’ll direct this time.

Good for Garcelle!
