Updated repost of one of my favorites. Thanks to Sister Anna for bringing it to my attention again after 3 years. I remember watching a couple of the Sherlock Holmes movies when I was a kid. I never thought much of them as the story lines didn’t really hold my interest, plus they were shown [...]

CAN A YOUNG TEENAGED GIRL TEACH A WOMAN ANYTHING? There is a beautiful young, black, West Philly girl, originally from Cote d’Ivoire somewhere in the blogosphere. She’s set up her shop and she’s teaching us critically important truths about ourselves. Her name is Sojourner, and she’s done alot of travelling through life and culture in her mere 14 years [...]

I found this documentary, The Colour of Beauty over at MsAfropolitan. This National Film Board of Canada produced short film (it’s about 17mins) by Elizabeth St. Philip is very revealing in regards to the marketing of beauty.

On commenting on the post, “The Selling of Jesus” by thefreeslave, my response got so long winded, as I am known to do, that it became a post in itself. Lubangakene, you made some valid points in your post and asked some stimulating questions. These questions, which have been asked throughout the ages, I have struggled with myself. I don’t [...]

I found this post by Eddie Griffin a very thought-provoking take on the Erykah Badu nude music video controversy. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE BROTHERS IN DALLAS She left nothing to the imagination, but much to be desired. She is neither cute, nor as fine as she thinks herself to be. Ms. Erykah Badu is [...]
