Why I Went Natural: A Search For Answers Pt. 2
Read Part 1 Here
Growing up I never viewed myself as being the greatest beauty. I was just a skinny child with big hands and even bigger feet. Just like other girls I was constantly told how much I looked like my Mom. I was the spitting image of a woman whom everyone made out to be a beauty queen, no way possible! I had a gap, my Mom didn’t. I had big feet, my Mom had tiny feet. I had...

Have You Read Mark 17?
A preacher finished a sermon by saying ‘Next week I am going to preach about liars. To prepare you I want you to read Mark 17.’ On the following week the preacher began by saying, ‘Last week I asked you to read Mark 17. If you have read it, please raise your hand.’ Nearly every hand in the congregation went up. Smiling the preacher said ‘You are the very people I want...

Initially when I decided to stop relaxing my hair my Ace (my Dad’s term for best friend) had decided to go natural. When she told me this I remember thinking, “This girl is a d*mn fool.” To understand my logic you would have to...

Opening the Door: The Art of Chivalry
While having a conversation with some male co-workers I discovered I was a gold digger. Yep, after 21 years of living I’m finally discovering this. I wasn’t labeled this because I boasted about how every man I date pays for my car note, cell phone bill, college tuition meals on dates, rather because I said chivalry isn’t dead. Yep, that’s why I’m finally...

I guess being a virgin these days is not it because a b!tch just got dumped. #MOVINGON but I will never stop respecting myself and what I’m worth!

Own Up To Your Heux Sh*t
So recently a young girl at my university fell victim to people talking sh** about her on Twitter. The young lady is a year under me and I associate with her due to the fact that we have a mutual friend and that she’s in an organization with me. I’ve always viewed her as a nice, naive young lady so when a group of students began to talk about her (so much that her name became a...
