“There’s a stirring in My Soul”: Conservatives have an Anti-Woman Agenda up their Sleeve

And, even had the audacity to argue with my “all seeing all knowing” do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do black grandmother about the usage of lie over her usage of “telling a story.” What does telling [...]

Don’t be like the Virgin Mary, Black Men, give the gift of Non-Conception: Take the Male Birth Control Pill

Iyanla Vanzant’s Peace from Broken Pieces: Generational Curses, “I am my mother’s daughter, no, my mother is me!”

Let the Wailing Black Women Come: 60% of Black Girls are Sexually Abused before 18
