Empowering For The Future

So you may begin to believe "She has a post for EVERYTHING"... Well, kinda sorta. I want this post to be YOUR POST Below, please comment your thoughts on the video. Was it inspiring? How did it make you feel? Do you see this a part in the women's empowerment movement?

This post is inspired by  Black Supremacy Love N Unity   It's been a long time coming! I would have liked to do some more research on this story but I did not get around to do so. But if you have not viewed the video (also posted on my Facebook) awhile ago, here is a brief description on who Sarah "Saartijie" Baartman a.k.a. Venus Hottentote. Sarah was a slave from Africa who's body was exploited and exhibited to Europe and given the label as a freak. She was the guinea pig to European research about black female sexuality and anatomy. Seen as profitable to her exhibitors and slave to abolitionists, Sarah lived her life with the label of a freak. For why? Because she was black, a female, and because of her body.    But I did not make this post about Sarah. No. I made this posts about the new Sarahs, the Sarahs living today.     And pictures, just like these and more,  are displayed everywhere: in the media, on social network...

Dear White People Since I did say in the beginning that I am borderline Black Feminist and nonfeminist, I present to you a movie trailer for a movie I'm encouraging all to see. More than likely I am going to see it when it comes out and therefore... Blog Post coming soon!

Pharrell Williams- "G I R L" Album Review "Dear Girl" by Pharrell expresses his appreciation for women in our society. He made this album for us to dance and to enjoy life and I think he accomplished that in his music. Top 4 Songs (My Favorites To Me): #4 Come Get It Bae I love love LOVE the video. Yes, it has Miley Cyrus in it (which is a different story in itself) but the "models" or the girls in this video are just like you and me. They dance, they look like they are having soooo much fun, and they look just like you and me, regular people. #3 Marilyn Monroe I love the music to this and the song is named after a beauty celeb that girls look up to. Another song that makes you feel good inside and you can sing and dance along to in the mirror or in the shower. Just having fun to yourself! #2 Brand New Honestly, I love this song because of Justin Timberlake. If you did not know that it was Justin doing a duet with Pharrell, you reall...

So there are multiple challenges that have been coming up lately. There's been a "Ice Water Challenge", a "Gospel Challenge", and a "Grown & Sexy Challenge". However, most of these challenges are for Facebook; you have to tag a friend to participate. I'm starting a new daily challenge that will build self-esteem in places it's needed. You ready... I challenge you to                                 TELL A YOUNG GIRL SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. You heard {in this case, saw} what I said. I want to challenge everyone to tell a young girl she is beautiful... Not just any young girl but I challenge you to tell a young BLACK girl she's beautiful. Want to know why? Background Story/Idea I was at work today and I saw the cutest little girl who had a bow to match her dress perfectly. She had her hair in the cutest and neatest ponytail and had adorable bright eyes that gleamed from the distance. Don't all precious...

This post is inspired by Rihanna's crystal outfit at the CFDA Fashion Awards and  Huffington Post  article Discussion Occurring People have multiple opinions and views on Rihanna's choice of fashion. Some say that she is a fashion icon (just as she was awarded) and she is beautiful in this dress (which I agree). Majority of people are saying "Why did she even bother wearing anything" and "She didn't even leave anything for the imagination". Some are even calling her names such as a whore, slut, hoe, etc. for even wearing the dress. What's your opinion? Are you one to say she's classless or genius? Is she opening the doors of fashion and taking it to new heights or is she taking "fashion" too far? I have a response to each of these. Against Her Choice Although her dress is unforgettable and uniquely made (over 200,000 crystals to be exact), she is revealing too much. Fortunately, she decided to wear nude colored underwear bu...

Ever heard a male say that females deserve to get what they got. For example, some males believe that if a female is raped then she got what was coming whether it was from the way she dressed, acted, flirted, or any other EXCUSE given by any ignorant male. To me, ignorant is an understatement for the males who believe this. To hear a guy comment something like that is very repulsive and upsetting. Is this what our generation really believes? Is this what we think is okay? The inspiration and main focus of this blog post is female violation. I'm not just talking about rape. In fact, I prefer not to discuss rape just yet. I came across the Huffington Post about Iggy Azalea appearing on a radio show and letting us know that she is constantly being sexually violated by her fans. The article (link below) states that rapper, Iggy Azalea, has to put on two pairs of underwear, skin colored stockings, AND then her pants/jeans/shorts/whatever she is wearing that night at our concerts. She ...
