REEL REPRESENTATION & The #FirstTimeISawMe Movement

4 August, 20170

Do you remember the first time you saw yourself on screen? Do you identify with any character on TV today? On Tuesday, August 1, Netflix began championing a conversation (#FirstTimeISawMe) about representation in entertainment and it went viral on social media. Representation in entertainment matters.

I Think I’ve Found The “Flu Shot” For Heartbreak

27 June, 20170

There are so many blogs, podcast, songs, and books that talk about love. They give advice from how to fall in love to how to get over a heartbreak.

If it worked, if there was a "cure" for love, everyone would be drinking the KoolAid. Love to me is like the Flu. You have flu shots for preventative measures and you have medicine for healing.

The words that Mama Pope spoke came from the core of a black woman's soul. From Black women having to watch their men and children whipped, sold off, raped, and humiliated all while having Read more [...]
