My husband was offered several scholarships for law school including one from UofA's law school. During his tour he was pulled aside for a clandestine meeting with a Black male 3rd year law student who gave him several warnings and was very honest about his poor treatment as a law student. He decided to attend…

She should have incorporated that hair cut into the movie. She looks fantastic.

I'm not a movie critic and normally can watch a film for the sake of being entertained. However, this movie fell flat for me on so many levels. Eschewing the obvious failure to explain the purpose of their society and the holes in the plot, the characters were rather bland. This entire premise felt like a copy of a…

She's the type that will want to play herself in the movie.

I dream of raiding Iman's closet. I imagine it's full of wonder and joy.

I have never felt completely at ease when calling the police. I've had to call a few times to report incidents. I was visiting my grandmother once and called the police to report suspicious activity at our neighbors house. Several guys were at her back window and she was out of town. I was a teen at the time. The…

What an epic question.

I have to own this NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm mad at you for even bringing up his name! Old boring Teutonic Riley never had a chance. ANGEL all the way people!!!!!

I have a love/hate relationship with breast feeding. It's so hard to explain. It's a wonderful experience. I loved that I could feel my uterus shrinking and contracting at every feeding. I think it helped my body heal. It's amazing how efficient the human body can be while nourishing a baby. However, I suffered from…

This is so hilarious and heartwarming at the same time.

I agree, and yet.......I'm still drooling. Nothing a little antibacterial soap can't fix!

Coincidentally, I was just watching Living Single the other night and watched a scene starring Erika/Maxine. She was so deliciously mean! I was trying to identify which roommate I identified with the most and chose Maxine. I also wondered if the show Friends borrowed from Living Single. Was Friends the NKOTB of…

This NEVER gets old. He does things to me.

My answer to this checklist was ==> 1. Yes 2. um... Yes 3. Wow, yes to that too. Glad to know I'm not alone!

She has that delicate, whimsical femininity that everyone loves. She is definitely talented in certain genres that hone in on her vulnerability, but yeah.... there are so many other actresses of color with much more range.

I have been known to pull over and yell at kids doing stupid things, like throwing rocks at fast moving cars. I never bring a gun, just my loud Mom mouth. That seems to work. The kids back away embarrassed and I promise not to tell their parents if they stop. I know that I'll never see those kids again or tell their…

Their willful ignorance will be applauded and encouraged. Their lives will not suffer any form of hardship related to their lack of knowledge about Blacks in America. They will be just fine. I imagine life must be pretty sweet to be so favored that even your ignorance is normalized as a byproduct of youth. While…

SMG still looks 16 in these pictures. I wasn't a big fan of Dawn, our favorite bratty little sister, back then. However, now that I have a gang of impossibly bratty children of my own now, I'm more understanding of the way she was written into the show.

LOL, every time I get house envy, I just remember back to when we didn't have a yard and all of this extra space and lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment and I'm immediately grateful. I hated hearing the dog upstairs running around all night and the smell of cigars & weed from our neighbors apartment. If you have a…
