Paula Deen Hires Olivia Pope To Fix Her Situation

I'm sure that by now you must have heard about Paula Deen's fiasco. Her admittance to using the N word has landed her in very hot soup. Also, she allegedly wanted her brother to have a plantation-themed wedding with Black men servers dressed as slaves because that was such a beautiful time in history. I say alleged because I don't know the whole story. Honestly, I did not know that this Paula Deen thing would blow up this much. The woman is without a doubt a heavy hitter when it comes to Read More

My Kia + My Mic = One Happy Vera

My Kia + My Mic = One Happy Vera

This year has really, really been amazing. There have been many changes in my life, some more subtle than others. One of my most exciting changes is my change in schedule.

Well, have I got the place for you! Growing up in Nigeria, I knew about Sugar Daddies, of course.

Vera Has Been Tied In A Knot

My people! I have been a different kind of busy, just going from doing one thing to doing more things. It's like I knock one thing off my list and add two more. But they have been good. I'm looking forward to putting up a post to tell you what Igwe just did recently. Woooot! That said, this isn't a real post. This is just a post to tell you that I'm okay, and that I will be back in full force tomorrow. Promise. I'm half asleep as I type this. Pardon me. I will be back tomorrow. Read More

If I Could Go To Missouri …

If I Could Go To Missouri …

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Missouri Division of Tourism. All opinions are 100% mine. One thing I have learned – now, more than ever before – is that discovering new places never stops being awe-inspiring. The United States alone has 50 States, most of which I have never been to, and I know that when people speak about travelling within the United States, places like Florida, New York, Washington D.C. and California come to mind. But what about the Read More
