Authentic conversations about culture, motherhood, divorce, black excellence, humor, and style!
Igwe and I came home a couple hours ago, turned on the television, and right there in white capital letters and a red background, we read, BREAKING NEWS. And then, on the next line, it said, GEORGE ZIMMERMAN NOT GUILTY." What????????????? I had mentioned in a previous post that I hoped he would at least be found guilty of Manslaughter and be given the maximum sentence. But this verdict was such a slap in the face that I would have rather had him sentenced to something, anything, even Read More
I don't think I have ever met a denomination as persistent as Jehovah's Witnesses. They hunt you down in the parking lot, stalk you in the grocery store, and invade your peace at home. There are times that I flat out say, "No, thanks." And then, other times I take whatever flyer they're giving, squeeze it, and put in the trash.

The network's spokesperson confirmed, "OWN will air an exclusive interview with Oprah and Lindsay Lohan that will tape and air in August and an Read More
I say murder. We might have a verdict on this case as early as today.

So I will say that considering the phone conversation between George Zimmerman and the police where he was clearly told to back down and he refused to, I'd say he went there with more zeal than he intended. Now, do I think that Read More
I first knew of Colin Kaepernick during the Superbowl because he was the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers who played against my dear Baltimore Ravens - and lost, hehe. He was the backup quarterback to the starter quarterback, Alex Smith who got injured sometime during the season, so Kaepernick had to replace him. And that was how Kaepernick led his team to their first Superbowl since 1994. They didn't win (you know, because my Baltimore Ravens won *cough*), but Kaepernick played his ass Read More
