One of the best things a woman can do for herself is to surround herself with other women. Conventional belief will dispute this assertion, but I think it’s a fundamental need for female survival, and always had been.

I was driving into work this morning listening to National Public Radio and a segment featuring two teenaged boys discussing their education came on after an update on Egypt. The presenter gave them a glowing introduction, mentioning that they both wrote for VOX (Voice of Our Generation), a publication written by and for Atlanta teens. […]
*This article is not for little kids. All you teenagers I’ve FB friended from church stop reading HERE! I don’t want to be a cynic, I promise you I don’t…but Valentine’s Day SUCKS. I used to be one of those people who would balk at other cynics who decried Valentine’s Day as “just a paper” […]

*Warning* If you are easily offended, NOW would be a good time to stop reading. Still reading? Okay. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Uncle Ruckus and I have one thing in common: We both hate niggers. Well, that’s not entirely true. Uncle Ruckus hates all Black people and I hate niggers. And I’m […]
Whoever is head of marketing at Chick-fil-a is a genius. This weekend Chick-fil-a’s across the region had a Daddy Daughter Date night in their restaurants. To provide an air of exclusivity, you had to sign up online to get your reservation. My girls, being the divas in training that they are, decided that they wanted […]
