I just wanted to say that I love your site and come to it on a regular basis. I don’t know anybody living in Trinidad, but it’s horrifying about what is going on. Thank you for bringing positivity, new eclectic music, and things that are going on in the world that pertains to us black folks. Keep doin’ you bella!

Angela Bassett is ageless and her arms are phenomenal. I need to purchase a Bob Marley cd and take time out and LISTEN to him….

afrobella, i just have to tell you that i really think you have one of the best beauty blogs out there. yes, many of them have lots of test drives and new products and are dishy and all that, but yours has a specific gravity that i love. you talk about beauty as an issue, as a cultural phenomenon, as a frivolity, and as a necessity. you have a sense of humor about the world and yourself, but you aren’t afraid to get angry. it’s not a shallow or one-dimensional conversation about it, and it keeps me coming back. i learn a lot about beauty issues for afrobellas, which isn’t always easy to find, which makes my coverage of beauty in my journalism realm better (i’m the fairest girl ever, i wish i had color!)

Coffy,

What did Covergirl do? Are you talking about the open call?

Bella,

One thing I like about MAC is that they honor older women i.e. Catherine Deneuve, Diana Ross, and now Racquel Welch. To be honest, I do not know what she has been up to, but it is nice to see her looking great. Did any of you all catch Oprah on Monday. The show celebrated older women of all races and shapes. As a young person, I was uplifted by the stories the women shared.

Bella I cannot imagine how it must feel to be so close to these tragedies. Though Dominica is significantly smaller and less populated than Trinidad it is still only five Islands away from Trinidad and the possibility of these ruthless and criminal acts happening in my home country aren’t impossible (with the current conditions there they seem to be imminent). It is both scary and saddening to me. As someone who at one point leaved away from their family I know the urgency you must feel to have them near and safe. You, your, family and those going through these rough times are definitely in my prayers.

Dahls,
thanks for always being a great regular commenter and reader. I appreciate it! Yes, the events in Trinidad are breaking my heart. It’s hard to even really write about it all, because Afrobella is about beauty and positivity, but sometimes I really cry when I read these articles. My mother went to high school with the grandmother who was murdered. My sister used to work with Vindra Naipaul. It’s at the point where my family knows these victims, and it’s affecting my desire to go home and visit. I wish they could all move to Miami with me, where at least I could know that they are safe. =(
