Nobody has to tell you that the economy is uncertain. You live it.
The job (if you have one) is shaky. The savings account (if you have one) is emptying. Debt (you have that) is growing and your way of life has changed, perhaps forever.

White sorority stuns HBCU step competition with wining routine

First the word went out that a White sorority—Zeta Tau Alpha—won the largest step competition in America.  Say What?!!  I was surprised, and when I looked at their performance on line, I was shocked to see White girls move like that. But I also knew it was simply the “wow” factor that got them over. And historically African American people love it when White people can do what they . . .  that is until they take it over, and get more notoriety and ‘bling’ than the originators.

Beauty in motion-Alvin Ailey Dance Company

There are few things that truly express of the beauty of motion in the human body, dance is one of them. And the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is the personification of beauty in motion and dance.
If you’ve never seen this Company, or if it’s been a long time since you’ve seen the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, then make it a point to get your tickets for their exclusive Southern California engagement at the Orange County Performing Arts Center – Segerstrom Hall, March 2 – 7.

Grammy Award winning Musician John Mayer and his reference to black women.

Okay, I really tried not to focus on the recent comments of Grammy Award winning Musician, John Mayer and his reference to black women in a recent Playboy interview. (www.Playboy.com) But me, being me, I just couldn’t keep from feeling anger at his reference to David Duke and white supremacy when it comes to his personal ‘member’ and black women. I was equally disappointed that he felt he had a freedom to continue to make things worse by placing a black woman he admires in a very kinky context.
