Okay so the latest craze on FaceBook these days is the “25 random things about me” CHAIN letter.
I detest CHAIN letters.
I find them rude and annoying. If you want to write me…
I detest CHAIN letters.
I find them rude and annoying. If you want to write me a note, or share a little story about yourself with me, write me a note or share a little story dammit, but don’t do it under the brazen assumption that I owe you something in return. Wasn’t reading your note/story proof enough… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: A Grand Vision For Africa
One of my visions for Africa is that we as Africans in America begin to partner with Africans to help create lasting institutions that move beyond the shortcomings existing in the United States. By this I mean that institutions in the United States were set up to serve a certain purpose at their inception, and that purpose was not intended to benefit Africans that were slaves here at the time.
What… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: The Week That Was In Hollywood
PAULA MAY BE SAYING PEACE OUT ‘IDOL’
Damn, I had the opportunity to dance on tour with Paula Abdul many moons ago and when I tell you that these “artists” have the biggest insecurities, you better believe me. Being successful magnifies all of your baggage and bull****. You can only hide it for so long and Ms. Paula Abdul doing her “crack pot” reality show, truly showed her true colors.
Word on the… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: What Makes You So Special?
I was in a state of euphoria following Barack Obama’s election victory, as was the rest of the world, when I got a disturbing email.
It was meant to be funny, but if those jokes came out of the mind of a white person, it would’ve been inappropriate, insensitive and racist, to say the least.
What disturbed me most was how it made fun of, or more so, belittled segments of the black community, for… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: HISTORY CLAIMS VICTORY
When I was a little girl growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, every Sunday my mother would transform me from an ashy-legged, nappy-headed tomboy into a Sunday morning debutante. She’d press and curl my hair, dress me up in the obligatory uniform—starched dress, anklets and black patent leather Mary Jane shoes so I could watch history unfold while sitting in the pews of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church.
The man who had… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: OBAMA WINS!!!
November 4th, 2008 at 8 pm Eastern Standard Time Sen. Barack Obama took the lead in the Electoral College and never looked back. With a “righteous wind at his back” Sen. Obama won The Presidency of the United States in a landslide victory and made history. There were tears and cheers!
WE DID IT! Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, men, women, young and old. In other words, AMERICA DID… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: What Is Wealth?
I woke up this morning finding the television still on with the news reporting how crime has increased in some counties of Atlanta. Apparently, it’s a byproduct of the economic crisis. They say smash and grabs – folks breaking windows of homes, cars and businesses and grabbing whatever they can – are up 15 percent. Even a well-known, black-owned barbeque joint, “This Is It,” said they got over 400 job applicants for their… Continue

SHOP CHATTER: Give A Little Bit
Recently I was chatting with a friend about her plans for the weekend. Unfortunately for her pocketbook, her weekend plans included two weddings. This meant that time and money would have to be spent on these joyous occasions. However, with a little effort, I had a plan in mind to save her big bucks and a lot of frustration.
Step 1: The customary thing to do is to find out where the wedding party is listed for… Continue
