Hello, I think I’ve been checking in for a little over 2 years, last year I got smart and started subscribing with my googlereader feed. Is it weird to say that if I won the notebook I would pass it on to my Mom, who is an educator and had a laptop from the school district that she’s got to turn in like next week! And she’s soon to be looking to replace it and after buying my baby sister one, and buying her college books (yay little sister is off to college now!) she’s over-extending herself now.
Anyway that’s what I would do with it, she’s had natural hair all of my life (almost 30 years) and maybe it’ll turn her on to this site if she has a personal computer to do it from.
thanks for all the lovely posts Afrobella!

Congrats on 5 years and still growing!!!!!!!!! I have not been reading you as long as some, and I might not check in daily as I would like to. I check you out at least three times a week from work and I try to soak in and print as much as I can when I do. I have been keeping up with you “fro” lol, about a year and a half now, so I have quite a bit of a paper trail from printing different articles. Again congratulations and keep growing!!!!!

…Violin please) I know I dont have an excuse right now but honestly natural hair has been something I’ve tried to transition to for the longest but not having the resources has been tough. Now that we do have access to sites like yours afrobella it does make it easier. However in Jackson, Mississippi even though I live in the next town Jackson is the city and thats where I go to for shopping, there is only one yes 1 whole food store that is probably as big as mcdonalds so the shopping is limited. To sum things up I have just rto your site but I have read it on previous occasions I just figured my luck with any contests would be as limited as our sources. Thanks afrobella for the great opportunity

I am writing this at 11:37pm on Sun. 8-14-11. I love your site!! So informative and full of great information. Curly Chronicals actully informed me about your site through her Youtube videos.

I have always ben an entrepreneur at heart but never did anything about it. I promised myself that 2011 is the year that I would start a small business. So I entered a small business plan contest this year and lost. It made me a little sad but I don’t want to lose my conviction to moving ahead. I would use the Chocolate netbook to keep my business plans alive. My current lap top is OLD (2003 old) so I could use a new one.

I just discovered you about 2 months ago. I love your professionalism and great content. I have a youtube that I recently started in May 2011. I would use the chocolate netbook to further grow my vblog. I would also use the netbook to start a program to help single parents with transportation needs. thank you for providing quality work for us to read!

Hello Afro Bella!!
I have been reading your blog for around 8 months now- I came over once I saw you and curlynikki had switched winter hair regimens

I believe that this laptop would be IDEAL for me because as I am getting ready to start the most challenging year of my life yet; I am entering my third year of college, majoring in child Development with a minor in gender and women’s studies (if these programs accept me!), working full time, volunteering at a food pantry every other friday, sitting on the Executive Board of my school’s Black Studet Union- AND MY LAPTOP BATTERY just died. To add to that, this is the year I planned to write my first one woman show!

I attend the Univrsity of Wisconsin- Madison as a student in its First Wave Hip hop Theater Ensembl- in short, I have a full tuition scholarship for being an artist; in my case a writer, though there are singers, dancers and visual artists in the program. But we are students first and a 17 credit workload and writing a show that will takes months of research (I’m drawing from mythology, American history and current events in an examination of how women treat each other under perceived sexual transgrerssion) is impossible without my own computer!!! Furthermore, I just got my first apartment! So that means I need a job! A job, preferably, that allows me to do homework while working! See where the laptop comes in?!?!?

In short, this is my roundabout way of saying PICK ME!
