UPDATE 5/2/08:  I just ran into an article about this film, on “AIDS: 25 Years and Counting” blog, and thought I’d update this post with a link.  http://www.blackvoices.com/blogs/2007/12/19/aids-should-we-air-our-dirty-laundry/#cont
A. What hell is up with my page today? My widget bar thingy is at the bottom of the page. Come on WordPress People! Don’t [...]

When I was little, my mom never let me play with white dolls or Barbies of any race. My sole interaction with those dolls were at my friends’ houses. I didn’t get it when I was young, but it makes sense to me now, and if I had children, I would do the [...]

Here’s a post to get me back inline with why I started this blog…natural hair care.
* Mixed Chicks products http://mixedchicks.net/
- – Products for women with curly to nappy hair. They even have a section “baby chicks” dedicated to products for kis with the same range of hair textures. I’m going to try out [...]

…This is a man who has enjoyed the fruits of America at the blood and expense of Black Americans and others, but who has paid virtually [...]

So on my other blog site, I put this post below which is about the only action that site gets. However, I’m thinking that my nappy community, if anyone, might know the whereabouts of Fatty Koo. At least this audience is likely to have heard of them or the show on BET.
I want [...]

“The Man” has definitely succeeded in dividing our people here in America. I just returned to the post on Hello, Negro’s blog about natural hair and am fired up about some of the responses. I must say in my lifetime, I have had the most difficult experiences from my own people (I mean [...]

I in no manner want to steal my local buddy Mela Fela’s thunder because I swear I read something to this effect in his Mela Fela blog or his columbuscaribbean.org website…However, I would love to see a Caribbean festival in Columbus, Ohio. I have family of Guyanese descent and my annual dose of culture [...]

Ok, so a good friend of mine insinuated that my photo from Operation New Stylist Search…2 looked like someone from High School Musical. Hmmm, who might he be referring to?
You naughty minx!

(Update 3/14: changed post title, i always thought it sounded retarded…
This continues to be my favorite blog to read.  Field Negro is a good mix of social commentary, politics, and current events.  Lately, it’s been mostly politics but that’s what’s hot in current events.  Field’s posts are cleverly written and he holds onto to his [...]

Carol’s Daughter has that free shipping with $40 or more purchase, which is so easy to do online, that I’ve decided to take the plunge. In the name of blogging and ongoing curiosity, I guess I’ll see if Carol’s Daughter is worth the hype. I’m such a creature of habit that this makes [...]

There are moments in your life that you feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to experience. Nina Simone was one of them. When we lived in the Philly area, I quickly jumped on the opportunity to see her perform. It was my hubby, one of his college roommates/lifetime friend, and [...]

Last night as I obsessively surfed the internet, I found out that the touring company for the musical Rent was coming to Ohio. Rent is by far my mostest favoritest musical in the entire world. Hubby and I saw it in NYC a few years back and I’ve been a Rent-head ever since. [...]

I am inspired and entertained to know that our people have such a strong voice in blog-land. I just ran across another blog www.afronerd.blogspot.com. I’m not sure that I’m feeling it all the way yet, but I thought I’d share it because I assume if you read this, you have a similar curiosity.
I’ll [...]

As I’m filled with pride to see Obama take over the world, a random thought came to mind as I was trying to figure out what to post in the name of nappy.
What if Condoleeza Rice rocked a ‘fro?
I mean her name is as ghetto as they come. Condoleeza?? With all due respect [...]
