Time Magazine Names JoJo Siwa in the 2020 TIME100 List of the World's Most Influential People

A huge congratulations to Nickelodeon superstar JoJo Siwa, Shari Redstone, the Non-Executive Chair of the ViacomCBS Board, and creator Tyler Perry, who have just been named in Time magazine's 2020 TIME100 list of the world's most influential people!



Reality TV star Kim Kardashian heaped praise on JoJo in an essay to celebrate the 17-year-old making it into Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

The 39-year-old called the former Dance Moms star, who earned legions of fans via her hugely popular YouTube channel, "a ray of sunshine in a world that seems scary right now" in her essay for the publication.

"As a parent, you want your kids to admire positive figures. There's no one more positive than JoJo. You just can't help but smile when you see her rainbow ponytail," wrote the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.

"She's a great role model for children, and her optimism is more necessary now than ever. It's no wonder my 7-year-old daughter North and millions of other children around the world adore her," Kim continued. "When North met JoJo last year to fulfil her dream of being part of her YouTube channel, North got really shy. But JoJo, like a big sister, made her feel at home as they dressed up, danced and made slime."

Last year, Kim let the dancer "babysit" daughter North, seven, for a video shared on the teenager's channel. North also attended JoJo's sweet 16th birthday party.

"JoJo is never ashamed to be herself, which can be really hard to do in this industry, especially when you're so young," the reality TV star gushed. "When Keeping Up with the Kardashians first aired, I was old enough to know who I was and make my own decisions. I can't imagine what it's like to live this life at age 17. JoJo embraces it, and I hope she always will."

Kim concluded: "At some point, she'll evolve and grow up a little bit, and that's OK. The people who love and support her will always be there. Live in the moment. Have fun. Be yourself and surround yourself with people who will keep you positive."

Congratulations JoJo!

Zimbabwean Motorcross Champion Tanya Muzinda Shortlisted for Nickelodeon 'Kid of the Year' Award

Motorcross champion Tanyaradzwa 'Tanya' Muzinda has been named as a finalist in the first-ever Kid of the Year awards!


The 2015 Junior Sportswoman Of The Year from Zimbabwe broke the news on Twitter expressing her gratitude for the nomination that will likely put Zimbabwe on the global stage.

"I am honoured to have made shortlist for Nickelodeon Kid Of The Year 2020 with Time Magazine, even if l don't win this Award being alongside these incredible kids gives me hope for a better future. Celebrating kids around the world who are inspiring in their communities," Muzinda wrote.

Muzinda has also made history by becoming the first Zimbabwean female rider to win a heat at the British MX Master Kids UK Championships, winning a bronze medal in 2017, a feat that also saw her participate in the British Girls National Championships. Muzinda was in 2015 named the Zimbabwe Junior Sportsperson of the year. She also received the Teen Female Sport Award, Zimbabwe’s Rising Star award. Last year, she was honoured at the Africa Child Summit in Ghana, and, in 2018, won the African Union Sports Council Region Five Regional Annual Sports Award.

Tanya, who is the honorary ambassador of the European Union to Zimbabwe for Youth, Gender, Sports and Development has credited her love and success in the sport to her father who was a biker and taught her how to ride a bike.

Kid of the Year is Nickelodeon, TIME and TIME for Kids' brand new multiplatform initiative that recognizes extraordinary young leaders aged 8-16 who are making a positive impact in their communities! Kids doing incredible and inspiring things to make the world a better place were nominated by their parents, teachers, friends and more.


It consists of two phases -- submission from May 18 to August 1 and the judging phase from May 18 to September 15. From all the eligible submissions, 50 nominees will be selected for consideration. Twenty nominees will be selected, from the quarter-finalists, for a possible inclusion in an hour-long television special profiling one or more of them.

Five honorees will be featured in a hour-long TV special—hosted by Kids' Choice Awards winner Trevor Noah (The Daily Show with Trevor Noah) and simulcast on Nickelodeon and the CBS Television Network in the U.S. in December--with one kid ultimately being recognized as TIME Kid of the Year and featured on a cover of TIME with a companion story in TIME For Kids.

Each of the finalists will receive funds to further their respective causes and have the opportunity to serve as a Kid Reporter for TIME for Kids with exclusive access to a Nickelodeon event.


The girl who was born to ride

Windhoek – Tanya Muzinda turned 16 in August 2020, but she has already earned quite a reputation internationally for her exploits in motorsport.

The Zimbabwean rider not only dominates on the track but is also a philanthropist whose charity work has helped many underprivileged children.

It was thus little wonder that she made the 2020 shortlist of the 

Nickelodeon Kid of the Year with Time Magazine.

Reacting to the nomination, Tanya wrote on Twitter: “I am honoured to have made the shortlist of the Nickelodeon Kid of the Year with Time Magazine, even if I don’t win this award, being along these incredible kids gives me hope for a better future. Celebrating kids around the world who are inspiring in their own communities.

The Kid of the Year Award is a multi-platform initiative recognising extraordinary young leaders aged 8-16 who are making a positive impact in their communities and beyond.

Each finalist gets funds to further his/her chosen cause and has the opportunity to serve as a Kid Reporter for TIME for Kids, in addition to getting exclusive access to a Nickelodeon event.

The award is sponsored by Nickelodeon in collaboration with TIME magazine.

Tanya burst onto the scene about a decade ago when her love for motorsport brought her to national attention while just six-years-old.

"It is not often considered by girls as a sport for they and I want to inspire girls out there and show them that anything is possible if you put your mind and heart to it, and also show that motocross is fast and fun," she said in a recent interview with Zimbabwean media.

"Of course, there have been detractors and I know many girls want to get involved but fear what these people say. But I have wanted to change that for the better."

In her philanthropic work, she has helped children access education.

In 2015, Tanya was named Zimbabwean Annual National Sports Awards 2015 Junior Sportsperson of the Year.

That same year, she bagged the Zimbabwe International Sportswoman of the Year honours in the United Kingdom Annual Junior Sportswoman of the Year Awards, among many other national, reginal and global commendations.

Nickelodeon Italy to Premiere 'Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan' on Monday 28th September 2020

Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand to Premiere Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan in August 2020
Brand-new Live-action Series

Share it: @NickelodeonItalia #YoungDylan


Kid rapper and pint-sized powerhouse Young Dylan will join the Nickelodeon family with the brand-new live-action series, Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, premiering Monday 28th September 2020 at 14:00 on Nickelodeon Italy (Italia). Following launch, new episodes will continue to air weekdays at 14:00 on Nick Italia. Each all new episode will encore the same evening at 20:20.

Executive produced, directed and written by Perry, the series follows a family whose world is turned upside down when their nephew, Young Dylan (Dylan Gilmer), an aspiring hip-hop star, moves in unannounced. Michelle Sneed is also an executive producer, with Will Areu and Mark E. Swinton serving as producers. The series wrapped its first season on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Ga.

In Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan, Dylan’s grandmother Viola (Aloma Wright) realizes that raising her grandson is too much to take on, so she decides to send him to live indefinitely with her affluent son Myles Wilson (Carl Anthony Payne II), his wife Yasmine (Mieko Hillman) and their two kids Rebecca (Celina Smith) and Charlie (Hero Hunter). Suddenly, the Wilson family household needs to adapt as lifestyles clash between rising hip-hop star Young Dylan and his straight-laced cousins. From Dylan giving Charlie, Rebecca, and her best friend Bethany (Jet Miller), lessons in “swag” and street smarts, to learning that even rappers have rules in the Wilson house, the series follows the hilarious hijinks this family faces as they try to get on the same beat.

In the series premiere of Young Dylan, "Imaginary Friends", Young Dylan arrives at his relatives’ home needing a place to live, but his streetwise swagger upends the conservative Wilson household. (#101)

Nickelodeon’s partnership with Perry is part of his long-term pact with ViacomCBS, producing original series for BET Networks (The Oval and Sistas) and other ViacomCBS networks, with exclusive licensing rights on this programming. Additionally, Perry recently announced his joint venture with BET Networks for the new streaming video on demand service BET+. Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan marks Perry’s first kids’ scripted series.

Born and raised in Annapolis, Md., Gilmer is known for his many appearances and performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and at NBA All-Star Weekend. Gilmer has an overall talent deal with Telepictures, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Television, and has previously guest starred on the revival of Nickelodeon’s hit series All That.

Gilmer is represented by Sherry Kayne of The Green Room and Chris Abramson at Felker Toczek Suddleson Abramson.

The production of Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan for Nickelodeon is overseen by Shauna Phelan, Senior Vice President, Live-Action Scripted Content. Brian Banks serves as Nickelodeon’s Executive in Charge of Production for the series.

Tyler Perry’s Young Dylan underscores a key element of Nickelodeon's content strategy, to mine social platforms for the talent that kids love. Nick's new content slate is informed by the network's ongoing research and insights into today's generation of kids, who: are the most diverse generation ever and expect to see themselves authentically represented in media and in the world around them; want to make a positive difference in the world as they grow up; consider social media stars as their top role models, alongside their parents; and increasingly meet their much-desired need for family time by co-viewing entertainment content together.
