Well, damn.

I grew up in Lorain County and she was our Nobel Laureate. Her evocations of Lorain in “The Bluest Eye” were as close to perfect as to how I experienced that city and its places.

Her cousin lived two doors down from us but I never had the opportunity to meet Toni Morrison.

Well, good news at last today!  I'm so proud of these ladies for trying to work together and not do all that beef mess. Maybe, hopefully, Meg, Cardi, Nicki, Trina, etc, all the baddies talking that female empowerment and togetherness can happen. But can we kill the bitch this and that. That part is I personally could…

My first impression of that costume is that it is very definitely designed to keep anybody from tiefing a wine or borrowing a wuk-up.

Push it, and real good at that!

Regarding this case, I hope they’re able to push it through they system quickly. 

The part about coparenting with her daughter’s stepmom really resonated with me. I’m stepmother to a 13-year-old boy. The relationship between his mom and my husband ended LONG before I came into the picture, but she still managed to harbor resentment toward me for a long time.

Truth will still have a chance. It’s just that someone has to figure out more ways to make money off of the truth.

Docudrama or not, I’m so proud of Ava DuVernay her due diligence and for showing the world what I have witnessed for my whole life. Those men lost so much due to a racist system. I feel absolutely no sympathy (not that you’ve sympathized with Lederer or Fairstein) for anyone involved in the wrongful prosecution and…

Between Big Papi getting shot and tourist waking up dead, the Dominican Republic is more dangerous than Fish Fry Thursdays/Ladies Night at the Elks Lodge...

What a voice—so glorious and rich and full. A friend saw her show in New York and said it just blew him away.

I first became familiar with Angelique Kidjo back in 2000 when her song Agolo was the theme for the BBC World Service program “Every Woman”. It’s still one of my favorites, and the video is amazing.

Angelique Kidjo is THE SHIT. I first got wind of her in 2000 when I lived in Seattle. Gorgeous, super-talented sister.
