And isn’t her name Lena Headley?

This is how I feel when people say their thoughts & prayers are going out to victims’ families. I do think that prayer can help, but actions also help. Systemic racism from people who claim to serve the same God as those they deem “thugs” and such does not weaken overnight and it hasn’t gone away. It just takes new…

Most Black people refer to them as locs, not dreads. Also, we wash ours more often.

I’ve known White people who start theirs and put all kinds of stuff in them to get them to form. Beeswax, glue, not to mention all of the dirt & oil from not washing them. Not washing them can keep them from forming.

This is disturbing on a multitude of levels.

Where is the NRA when legal gun owners are killed by police when NOT committing any crime?

Has anyone mentioned the “girl” usage? Not that there aren’t girls who own Vera Bradley if the women in their lives deem it desirable. However, there are girls and there are women, and the only thing differentiating the groups is age. Girls->young women->women? Anything missing?

It was definitely something more recent.

Heh. I read it somewhere that he speaks with a Sovenian accent. We can guess it’s not Donald’s great, good words that he’s hearing all of the time.

Doesn’t Baron speak with a Slovenian accent?

You need all of the stars.

This is a great article! I have sworn off asking for help in Sephora after coming out once looking ashy and ghost-like. I know their lighting can change how something looks, but the woman helping seemed as if she knew the shade wouldn’t work and kept at it.

Yep. Your female family members don’t get you a pass. I hate that some cannot/will not understand how girls & women are treated unless they frame it in relation to themselves.

No worries. I had a biracial friend mention that it was one of the things that bugged her. People would always ask what she was mixed with and she was like, “What? Like eggs and flour?” When she explained it to me, I chuckled a bit, and it also made total sense.

My daughter is biracial and I agree. You have to know what works. I stick with washing her hair maybe once a week and putting a light oil in it every few days to seal in the moisture after a shower. It will tangle like hell if I don’t use a baby Denman or a wide-toothed comb.

Then that would be multiracial.

Mix is for cakes. Biracial.

And now I will never step foot inside of a Sephora again. I mean, the last time I went, they just made me look ashy from putting on too-light foundation to try out anyway, but this solidifies it for me.

Oprah makes you forget everything about her when she’s in a role while, at the same time, the role bring things out of her. She wasn’t as famous when she was in The Color Purple, but people still knew about her. Nobody can play Sophia like she did.
