In the 1903 book, The Souls of Black Folk, W.E. B. Du Bois offers a vision of the struggle of Africans in America that I find useful in setting the compass for my striving as a Black man. In many ways, we are reminded of our internal struggle more than a century later. As we reflect on Black History this month, this struggle remains unreconciled for many of us. We still face institutional barriers to progress while at the same time we celebrate the ascension of a Black man to the highest office in the land. "One ever feels his two-ness, -- an American, a Negro; two souls, two

I remember my very first hair care workshop in April of 2008. This was also Sweet Nature's official local introduction. People that hadn't seen me in a while didn't know I had gone natural and I literally could NOT keep their hands out of my hair! I even had people argue with me about it being my real hair...lol. I think the most memorable comment made was by my older cousin. At the end of the workshop, I held a Q&A. She raised her hand, and in a very serious voice, she said, "I've known you my entire life and when you were little, you had the nappiest hair I had ever seen...How in the world

Contacted by Carolyn from Dallas March 2011.
She told me her and her husband was stopped by
Police for a busted tail light.
The police man asked for drivers license but was given
Different credentials instead, needles to say the police man
Got upset and demanded her husband step out of the vehicle
Her husband refused the order and insisted that he was not driving
But exercising his freedom of right to travel.
The police man told him that if he did not exit the vehicle immediately
And voluntarily, that he would be taken out by force.
Her husband refused to volunteer and was taken by force and thrown
Down

 Wow...2013 already! This is the time of year when people resolve to lose weight, quit smoking, stop procrastinating, change careers, save money, etc. The average person sticks to these resolutions for about a month, and then they slowly fall back into their old routine. I've found some secrets to not only sticking to your resolution, but making it easier and more fulfilling while doing it.
The first thing is, don't resolve to fix all of your life's issues all at once; chose the things that will make the most positive impact on your life, yet are realistically obtainable. Also, make sure you

 It's almost time for school for many kids (my daughter is already into her second week). If your daughter is anything like mine, she stayed in the pool and was shuttled from one camp or activity to another all summer long and if you are anything like me, you couldn't keep up with washing it and re-doing it each time. Some days I just washed her hair with the twist or braids still in it, some days I co-washed it, and other days, I am ashamed to say, I just rinsed it with cool water, sprayed it with Growth spray, and pulled it back into a ponytail with Wisdom heavy moisturizer. Combining my

Until I get the hang of blog conversion IZania you get what my website blog gets. 6/19/2012 I was asked several times to get myself a blog. Well, this is about as personal as I will get, “Take Me As I am”. Thank you Mary for listening to G-d. This Jersey Gurl appreciates your gift. Okay to start. I would like to congratulate my two Boys to Men! They just received an award and money last night for their outstanding scores on the Elementary A.I.M.S. testing. Good Job! Some of you know that in March I was recently invited with an application to showcase at Phoenix Fashion Week 2012. Being
