Miriam Carey, the unarmed mother who was shot to death on Capitol Hill, still deserves answers. The American public still deserves answers. I’m not quite buying the whole psychotic angle that was presented to us to justify her killing. Are you? Miriam Carey, 34, a dental hygienist living in Stamford, Conn., “may have thought President […]

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week officially kicked off today. All the fashionistas and wannabes are descending on NYC, including yours truly! At Fashion Week, you get invitations to individual designer shows. This is easy if you are a celebrity, of course. If you are connected to the fashion industry in any other way, like having a daughter […]

Why? Why are the children of the famous Civil rights Leader and his lovely wife fighting like street urchins?  Where is the dignity that the King name commands?  It is lost on these brothers and sister. Fighting over his prized possessions like thirsty hoodrats! The estate of Martin Luther King Jr. is asking a judge […]

CVS has announced that as of October 1, it will no longer sell tobacco products in its stores. CVS decided that it couldn’t,  in good conscience, continue to advocate good health to its customers while selling these cancer-causing products.

Update: So now it seems as though George Zimmerman will be fighting rapper DMX. SMDH! This is turning into a racial circus! In fact, it flies in the face of what happened to Trayvon Martin. What happened to Trayvon is REAL. This “fight” won’t be. All it will do is incite more anger because it […]

Seriously. She really is. Beyoncé has the Midas Touch with everything she does. From her illustrious career, her marriage to Jay-Z, to her beautiful daughter, Blue Ivy. Add to that the fact that she is just Gorgeous. I’m not sure any other entertainer holds a candle to her. James Brown was the hardest working man […]

Today is February 1, the first day of what we have grown to call Black History Month. This month we celebrate achievements of notable Black Americans such as Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglass, Mary McCloud Bethune, Harriet Tubman, etc. This month is when schools teach children about accomplishments of Black Americans. I grew up celebrating […]
