Recklessly authentic.
The other day I was watching television and this Black guy was on it talking about the Ravens game. I did not hear a word he said. As soon as I saw his face, all I thought about was the chocolate M&Ms. She's female, but she's still brown and bald ... and she wears glasses, too. Could they be related? I need to contact M&M's to tell them that I found the brown M&M's brother. Maybe now Geico will insure her? I watch a lot of commercials (and enjoy them). Can you tell? P.S. I Read More
So last week, we heard on Twitter that Half Of A Yellow Sun is now available on Starz. We watched it immediately. I haven't read the book yet, but it's been sitting in my bookshelf for years. My mom even took it and read it before me. She loved it. I can't say for sure why I haven't read the book. I think it's partly because I know that it's about the Biafran war, and I am afraid to confront the truth, even if it's just in a fictional novel. I'm a huge fan of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and I Read More
Last week on Nigerian Twitter, it was all about the leaked sex tape featuring a Nigerian woman. Allegedly, she's a married woman, a mother of five children, and a Registered Nurse in the DMV area, and the man whose penis she's sucking and who she's sexing doggy style is an African-American man who works as a janitor --- and is not her husband. I don't know how popular this story is off Twitter, but I live in the DMV area, so due to geographical location, the story is hot off Twitter Read More
It was a few weeks before the BlogHer Conference that I got contacted about doing a round-table conversation about comfort, sponsored by Stayfree® pads. I was excited! (1) Any opportunity to share my opinion(s) is always phenomenal, like I don't ever get tired of sharing my opinion(s), and (2) I had never, ever done anything like this. The day came, and I was nervous. And scared. And anxious. Like I mentioned in the previous post, I was to appear to the green room by 1:00 PM and my flight was Read More
Back in March - can't believe it's been that long already, I blogged about how I felt about Ray Rice punching his girlfriend. At the time, my understanding was that she spat on him and he punched her once. That was the story that was told to us anyway. You can read that post here. I was under the impression that he punched her once, not several times - although once is still one too many. But my argument was that if she was indeed the aggravator, then she cannot control how he reacts. There was Read More
