Alright. I’ve hemmed and hawed and dropped hints that something major is affecting my life for long enough. Time to come clean, kind of. I’m not going to get into details until she allows me to, but I will say this. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I’ve never before been so aware of…
Issues
Whew.
If I had the time to tell you about the morning I’ve had, I would. Let’s just say today started off crazy, and I’ll fill you all in as soon as I can. I need a calming, centering weekend, and I’ve gotta go now to get this work day done. So allow me to leave…
A Different Kind of Ask Afrobella
Most of the Ask Afrobella questions I get are about hair and beauty stuff. So when I got this one, I was thrown for a loop a little bit. Here it is. Hello Afrobella, How are you? I am writing because it seems that you know a lot about a lot. Here is the skinny,…
The Cosby Conundrum
I’m a vocal and proud news junkie, and to quench my thirst for knowledge, every Sunday it’s Meet The Press. I’ve come to expect a weathered roster of shifty-eyed politicos to slide into the seat across from Tim Russert every week — so imagine my surprise this Sunday when none other than Bill Cosby was…
The Other Contestants Were…
My new logo has been up and running since August, but trust me to come along months after the fact to share a bit more info. Sorry this took me 4-eva. Shari Neal won the Afrobella logo contest from a field of fifteen or so other entries — Shari now has her own official website!…

After the original Glamour magazine incident, yours truly was contacted with a letter of apology, which I chose to hold off on. (They sent the same apology to lots of other righteously pissed off bloggers, and you can read it here at Ask This Black Woman). I responded politely to the editors, and they wrote…
Hey, What’s For Lunch?
I admire those people who bring their individually wrapped, specially prepared lunches to work. I aspire to be one of them. My friend Allie is one of those super prepared people who comes to work with her spinach salad ingredients in individual containers and stuff. She keeps telling me to just put it together the…

Yours truly is being featured this month on Clutch Magazine! I love Clutch, and I’m honored to be interviewed. Check it out and tell me what you think!!
Weekend Love
I’d love this to just be a relaxing weekend where I sleep in till the double digits, but I’ve got places to go and things to do. I’m super, super excited for tomorrow — yours truly will be attending O You!, an all-day event where Oprah magazines’ top experts will be hosting seminars on beauty,…
Your Jena 6 Update
Yesterday, Mychael Bell was released from jail, after finally being allowed to post $45,000 bail. I see Bell’s release and upcoming trial in juvenile court as a positive sign — in my opinion the whole issue of the Jena 6 was not that these boys were in the right — a beating DID occur, and…
