She's 17

Me, too! I think I was a bit older (either entering or already in 5th grade) when I watched Princess Diaries so I really have no excuse.

Sigh. anti-black racism is often too hard of a concept for people to understand :/

Word.

They're Afro-Latina

You didn't know who Alfre Woodard is. She's one of the most well known Black actresses. So it doesn't mean they aren't particularly famous!

We don't always purposefully seek or avoid certain media but "The Women of Brewster Place" and even moreso "BELOVED" are well known films (and the latter is an even more well known book). Okay, you haven't heard of these women, we get it. I don't see the point in commenting to everyone response with basically…

Apparently she's been working out a lot as well

He has mostly said those things about darker skinned Black woman so his daughter will be 'safe'. Or he might take the Lil Wayne route and treat his daughter as the exception.

Huh, I didn't see chin strap until your comment and then that was all Icould see. I just enlarged the photo now and I see it's just a shadow.I was beginning to wonder how NO ONE was seeing the chin strap but alas t'was we who were seeing what was not there

Maybe Mary Kate? Although I don't know what young teen looks up to her as she hasn't been in anything all that relevant in a long time. I think she had one indie movie several years ago that had decent reviews but other than that...can't think of anything. We know Mary Kate because many of us grew up with her or were…

All I could focus on was how great your grammar is. Serious grammar envy over here!!

Getting a dozen flowers on a school day just is awkward no matter what. At least they came during last period but shit, that's a lot to carry and show.

Yeah, I don't actually know THAT much about OBR but just from what my campus is doing (which is a shitton!) for this week I was immediately turned off by this headline. There is far more than dancing going on and it's incredibly reductive to imply that that's the totality of the movement.

Hehe, but Black perms are not the same, which is why I didn't catch the reference even though I know what you're talking about.

I got matched with a former professor. Digital Cupid wants a scandal!

Aw, Laura you and your dimples are so adorable!

I think it's referencing the joke anne made when she got an award with her name misspelled, it was on Jez a few weeks ago

She was on an episode of Misfits, too! That's where I recognized her. The "Fancy Dress Party" episode (which confused the fuck out of me at first because fancy dress party here and fancy dress party there are totally different...)

This is the best I think J.Law has looked! I actually don't care for her with heavy makeup, so I liked this sleek look. She does look unlike herself, though. Sorta like Hilary Duff in that last photo of her with the jacket on.
