The Importance of Self Worth
Mastering a strong sense of self can be one of the most challenging prospects life throws our way. I’m not talking about the bravado most of us throw on daily in an effort to appear as if we have it all together. No, I mean the self worth that comes from a strong sense of […]

Just something to think about…
I find the news nothing less than disturbing. It is to the point now that I do not even want to tune in just to obtain the weather and traffic anymore. Yet, I cannot refrain from reading the headlines and clicking to finish the story. No one can tell me they simply accept the explanations […]

Nice try, but I’ll continue to think like a woman
I really enjoyed Steve Harvey’s “Act like a Lady, think like a Man”. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical after having read the book over a year ago, as to how they were going to translate it to the big screen. Much to my surprise, this is one of the best movies […]

All men are not created equally according to our education system
A common topic between my girlfriends and I this time of year is where are we going to send our little ones to summer camp and to school next year. It seems like every year, no matter whether we have our children in private school or public school, we face new and more heart-wrenching challenges […]

Are we regressing as a nation?
It’s disheartening to see the headlines that are in the news today. We all know the media is slanted and I actually believe that a lot of it needs to be taken with a grain of salt but there are trends that are repeatedly exposed and that includes RACISM, INEQUALITY and BULLYING. Obviously, the most […]

Why apologize?
I think we are all familiar with the phrase”don’t say anything you don’t mean, because you can’t take it back”, which applies to saying things impulsively or out of anger. Lately, it is a common trend to read about celebrities, politicians and the like, saying an allegedly offensive comment and then later apologizing for the […]

Why do you talk and act like a “white” person?
A few weeks ago, some friends and I posted a rant on Facebook of constantly being accused of sounding and acting like a white person. All my life I have heard these type of comments and was made fun of for supposedly talking and acting like a ‘white’ person. It didn’t stop there as I […]

“Dark Girls” Premiere at The Fountain of Praise
I had the privilege of viewing the documentary “Dark Girls” by the multifaceted filmmaker Bill Duke and I cannot express enough how moved I was by this movie. This blog will not be a critique because I will never critique anything that is meant to call attention to a subject matter that needs to be […]
