Left Unsaid, Right On

Ok Nelson, we love you.

What I Listen 2 When N Superheroine Mode

Super Sista

I love African-American superheroines; the context is super surreal to me. Like, sista's probably just going to the store for soy milk or something but she's got to exert superheroineness just to keep her flyness safe from ne'er do well folk who would believe they could tax..Again, love it!

Sunday Brunch with Tia Williams, Essence.com, and Maybelline

Beauty Editor, Essence.com

Well not quite.  Tia and I were both ready for a just a quick bite to eat on Sunday afternoon after a busy morning of writing fashion pieces (me) and taking a flight that morning for an Atlanta in-store (Tia). But the day just got busier. I was however, able to talk beauty biz with Tia while I got a make-up application (The Maybelline Dream Mousse is a must-have) before she headed back to NYC and I to a matinee staging of Pearl Cleage's Nacirema Society!

Autumn Leaves

I love the great outdoors just as much as anyone but the cooler seasons are nice for enjoying the indoors too. Above? A few faves to make this time especially nice!

Black Girls Rock!

Beverly Bond has successfully parlayed her love for the art of dj-ing into an organization that helps uplift the consciousness of Black girls. Positive images, music, and movements. Can't wait to see the awards ceremony tomorrow night on BET with hostess Nia Long and a array of performers and honorees who...well, rock!

Speaking of Black girls who rock...Chrisette Michele has a new video out. Let us know what you think. It's not a short film like the latest Kanye joint but just as artistic :)
