Throughout February, Inside South Florida is celebrating Black Brilliance, highlighting contributions from Black trailblazers across industries. To kick off the month, co-hosts Cameron Dobbs and LaMyiah Pearlinia engaged in a fun and educational trivia game, testing their knowledge on Black excellence in sports, fashion, music, and culture.
The game featured multiple-choice questions on historical figures, legendary athletes, and cultural icons. Some highlights included:
- First Black Model on GQ Cover: Cameron guessed correctly, choosing Tyra Banks, the first African American model to grace the cover of GQ Magazine.
- Track and Field Legend: LaMyiah nailed a sports history question, correctly identifying Jesse Owens, the athlete who dominated the 1936 Berlin Olympics, breaking world records and defying racial discrimination.
- Miami’s Own Hip-Hop Coach: The duo also tackled a local culture question, revealing that Miami rap icon Uncle Luke is now a high school football coach at Edison High School.
- Nike’s Latest WNBA Collab: LaMyiah took a shot at guessing which WNBA superstar recently collaborated with Nike on a hair-conscious hoodie design—she guessed Angel Reese, but the correct answer was A’ja Wilson, the three-time WNBA MVP.
The co-hosts wrapped up the segment by emphasizing how Black brilliance extends across industries, generations, and communities, making it a year-round celebration.
