Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
I read this post on Hollyscoop about 20 gay celebrities. I didn't know all of them, but I was shocked by these six, as I really did not know they're gay - with the exception of Raven Symone who I already blogged about here (on May 23rd 2o12 ). What rock have I been living under? My biggest gay shocker is definitely Matt Bomer. How can a man this beautiful be gay? I mean, look at his eyes. I think that for us Read More

Basically, you attend someone’s event or do something for them and they never, Read More
Remember when being gay was the biggest taboo of all times? Me, too. But things have been changing. From little things like a gay club to a gay celebrity to a gay athlete .. and it goes on. But the church - no matter the denomination - has probably been the most difficult place to turn around. I, for one, will tell you honestly that my strong belief against homosexuality has softened.
