Message from the Editor- Single Women - When to Keep Our Legs Closed
Single ladies lets allow a man enough time to “WARM UP the OVEN” before he get the “cookies”. Give yourselves the privilege of getting to know him as well. We may later find out that he was not the person for us, or he is married, or worse case scenario, he has been to prison for murder

Will All Of The "Good" Black Men Please Stand Up??
One female stated she wouldn’t date a black man without a degree because doing so was nothing, but an exercise in futility. In talking of her past experiences on the matter, she said, “It was like going out with someone who had Short Man’s syndrome, but on a mental level. He was always trying to prove to me he was smarter because I had gone to college and he hadn’t.”

Inauguration Guest List
Guests began arriving early. There are no place cards and no name tags. Everyone knows everyone else here. Now, there's a grand foursome Malcolm X and Betty Shabazz sharing laughs with Martin and Coretta Scott King. Looks like Hosea Williams refused the limo again, keeping it real. And my goodness; is that Rosa Parks out there on the dance floor

To All The Women I've WRONGED...

I know this communication will come as a surprise to many of you. I apologize beforehand for sending out a group letter like this. Believe me, it has nothing to do with being inconsiderate and rude. It's just that the…chaos I've wrought in many of your lives has been so rampant that if I were to address each individually I would be writing for a mighty long time. Hell, I don’t even know if anyone is reading this at all. You probably saw my name attached on the outside of the envelope and burned it, thinking it was cursed. If that was the case, I truly understand. But if not, then…

Black Pride With A White Gurl

So... I'm sitting up one night about 11pm looking at "Hollywood Shuffle". You remember, the old joint directed by Robert Townsend about blacks in the film industry and what capitulating had to be done to get roles. Anyway, there is this scene where a slave ( Mandingo ) runs away and takes his wife with him. As he his hiding in the bushes the slave masters wife walks up to Mandingo and proclaims her love for him. The scene cuts away and the next thing you see is Mandingo dissing his black woman and bouncing with Ms Nella. This got me to thinking about why I prefer white women over blacks.

Definition of SEXY...How do I become SEXY?
There has been a debate for sometime about rather or not SEXY is something you are born with or something that can be taught or learned. In my opinion, it is a combination of both.

W e all saw it!  Actually, 13 million viewers watched two nights of CNN’s microscopic gaze of “black” America on their series, Black in America.   Some people were shocked, some were engaged choir members, many had no “aha” moment and others are now just pissed.

How do you know if your man is on the DOWN LOW?
Women often ask me if there is some look, sign, or dress that down low men share to identify one another...However, I can share that there are some things women can do to be aware and conscious of a man they feel is sleeping with another man.

AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE NOT APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS!!!!
No one is going to knock on our doors and ask if we can use a scholarship. Take the initiative to get your children involved. There is no need for money to be returned to donating companies because we fail to apply for it. Please pass this information on to family members, nieces, nephews, friends with children etc. We must get the word out that money is available. If you are a college student or getting ready to become one, you probably already know how useful additional money can be. Our youth really could use these scholarships.
