Ladies, I'm so confused. Ada Verastic is 15 months old, and I cannot figure out what to feed her. If I give her any more eggs and milk, she might start laying eggs and lactating. She's at a very weird age where although she loves her milk (regular whole milk), her belly won't be full for long. At the same time, she does not eat much else (quantity-wise). I remember when my cousin, Toby was a baby and my aunt used to buy so many different things for him to try, and he'd like it one week and hate Read More

Find A Black-American, And Get To Know Them
I'm an Igbo girl who was born in Russia and lived in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria. My [Igbo] parents probably weren't intentionally trying to give me some diversity.
