We complain so much about kids ( and this one is a little smart mouthed little aleck) but she’s actually really great!
The Video explains it all
So it’s official. This little girl is a better Detroit community leader than mayor Kwame( his nasty texting self), the city council President and this Monica Conyers. They really need to let her ask Mayor Freaky text, KK some questions.
I feel like starting a college fund for little mama!
I’ve been a little “inconegro” the past few days and in a serious rut. I apologize for the lack of posts.
I felt like sharing some things that disturbed my spirit this week. You may laugh or hang your head in shame, but it is what it is. Read the rest of this entry
Remember the kids that plotted to kill their teacher? Well they’re black! I’m so angry and embarrassed. Some of these kids and their parents are speaking out and claiming that they just wanted to throw pies at the teacher…. Ummm ok. I’m not saying the kids are liars but it sure sounds like a lie. None of ya’ll brought pies but someone brought a knife. Knife + no pie = lie!. Read the rest of this entry
I’m sad to say that Mary Ida Vandross, mother of the late great Luther Vandross passed on last week. She died of natural causes and outlived her husband, all four of her children and her only grandchild ( all of them died from diabetes or stroke). Read the rest of this entry

I barely have the words to talk about how much this story angers me! this is just one more reason why the number of teachers are decreasing. An art teacher was attacked by her student (female) for confiscating her ipod. I mean really people what’s wrong with the children? I haven’t been out of high school that long (class of ’04 stand up!) but it seems like everything has changed for the worse. Why don’t our kids respect adults, teachers? You were going to get that Ipod back little dumb girl, but now you’ve ruined your future! Trying to be gangsta! Read the rest of this entry
I wish that I could say that this is a joke! Unfortunately it’s not…
Police in Waycross Ga. thwarted a murder plot against a veteran teacher. Who was plotting against her? Her third grade students. Read the rest of this entry
I heard this song today on the radio. It’s called “16 at War by Karina Pasian. Really listen to the WORDS of this song!
If you know a young person, play this song for them and talk about the things that she sings about. If you’re a young person struggling to explain what’s going on in your life make your people listen to this song. It’s important to know how Teens and young folks are feeling so grown folks, shut up sometimes and really listen to what they have to say.

According to the Urban League’s State of Black America Report, Black Women are facing both the best and worst times in our history. Condi’s historically high position in the current presidential administration, Michelle Obama being hailed as the new “Jackie Kennedy O.” and Oprah just being Oprah, just a few examples of modern black female achievement. Business owned by black women increased by 147% in the last ten years and sistas are working more than brothas nationwide. And yet we are suffering. Read the rest of this entry

You want to know about me??? Well I sing, often and I've been told I do it well, I love God, Family, friends (I love ya'll) and stillettos, quirky people, black history and MAC makeup, church, B.Scott youtube clips, great men, carnival food, babies, good weave and good drinks. I find joy in the most random things and l love really good comedians. I love language and questioning why we say what we say. I consider myself to be a critical consumer of the media and that's what led me to start this blog. I love to joke around and dance (yes even in church). If they were paying alot more I might consider being a teacher, but kids shoot now days so... never mind. overall I'm a lady, trying to be blessed so that I can bless others. that's a little bit about me. Enjoy my Blog!!
