Walmart was around decades before I was born.  Growing up in the small, rural town of Whiteville, North Carolina, Walmart was the only major attraction. This was way before the Super Center. Everyone in town used to join up and meet there  or bump into each other at random on any given day. In my mind as a little girl, I didn’t think that there would be anything greater than this store. They sold everything you could think of under one roof (except food at the time) and they weren’t pricey at all. More importantly, the employees were always super friendly and they would get you out  just as fast…

Facebook fasting is necessary… I have been wanting to do a post on Facebook for a while. The social media site has literally become everything in ten years. Whether you love it or hate it, social media is here to stay. The social networking equation is only going to get deeper. It all started with Myspace. Myspace was a new phenomenon that connected all kinds of people together worldwide. This was bigger than America Online (AOL) or anything else. Facebook’s popularity began to slowly increase at the height of Myspace’s popularity. Once Myspace  began to die off a bit, everyone else migrated  on over to Facebook and that became the…

The information age proved to be a revolutionary thing for the people when it first arrived. we could easily learn about what is going on around us faster than we ever could before. The internet completely changed our way of thinking and soon after it’s introduction, society’s quality of life grew to be even more plush and “promising”. The 21st century is a lazy person’s dream. I remember really getting to know the internet in the mid-90’s, around 1993/1994.  Flash forward 20 years later to 2014 and this technological phenomenon has grown in ways unimaginable. With all growth, comes a few issues and arising problems. So much information has gotten…

We live in an age where sex is literally everywhere. The world doesn’t seem to be as childproof as it once was. Between the child murders,  school shootings, and trafficking; it is obvious to see that our future is targeted. We must protect our children.  After watching a video from Australian songstress, Sia for the single  “Chandelier” early this morning on VH1, I found myself disturbed by the display of “art” that this video was supposed to be. “Chandelier” is a song by Australian recording artist Sia from her sixth studio album, 1000 Forms of Fear (2014). Written by Sia andJesse Shatkin and produced by Shatkin and Greg Kurstin, the song was released on 17 March 2014…

I refuse to believe that we have grown to a point where you have to completely bare all of your ass  and titties to get recognition as a female rapper. A part of me still holds on to the thought that people still choose lyrics over the baseline and that society is not this vain and horny.  I remember when the female rapper represented a powerful yet feminine strength that was tough enough to contend with the “big boys”.  If she was lyrically hard enough to make u bob your head, she automatically gained your respect ie: Roxanne Shantae, Eve, Missy Elliot, Salt & Pepper, MC Lyte, Da Brat, and…

Let’s be real…. In 2014, we have back tracked. We have somehow found ourselves slowly reverting back to life pre-1960’s America. Police Brutality, Injustices, and Racism, are all being used as a weapon. If you are connected, you cannot escape the visuals and headlines narrating the times that we are living in. Names like: Oscar Grant, Sean Bell, Eric Garner, Jordan Davis, Trayvon Martin,  Amadou Dialo, Kendrick Johnson, and most recently, Michael Brown trend and flood our social media timelines. It’s hard NOT to know what is going on. Michael Brown was an 18-year-old African American student of Ferguson, Missouri, that was gunned down for absolutely NO REASON. I’m sorry,…
