B’s to the Third Power
Recently, I read a wonderful book by Sophia A. Nelson called Black Woman Redefined: Dispelling Myths and Discovering Fulfillment in the Age of Michelle Obama. Unlike like many other books that dissect and analyze black womanhood in today’s society, this book was written by a black woman. Nelson not only discusses the many issues that plague the ...
She Wax It All Off
A lot has been said about Brazilian waxes. For some women, the thought of going to get a Brazilian wax is like going to get a root canal while other women think of it as a staple in their beauty regimen but one thing both sides can agree on is that it hurts! For those of you who ...

So some people have been buzzing about this Vibe magazine article with Slim Thug and with good reason. In the article, Slim Thug talks about his reasons for being in an interracial relationship and while I’m cool with interracial relationships, I think his reasons have people in an uproar.

Relationship with Yourself…and God
After having a very insightful conversation with my father, I realized that we as a people don’t necessarily pay enough attention to God; instead we pay attention to other relationships.
