I think my most regular readers realize Wednesday is my roughest day, but let me just explain why I didn’t post anything yesterday with this: work deadline + root canal = suckiest Wednesday ever. Seriously, I was at the dentist until after 7:00 p.m. So not fun. I’ve been fighting this summer-never-dies fight for too…

Jena 6 Worth a Click
Finally! The Jena 6 gets the kind of front page coverage it deserves. Essence featured voices from yesterday’s protest, the New York Times said the protest echoed the Civil Rights Era. (I got the photo at the top of the page from this NY Times update). There have been major stories in MTV News and…
Notice Anything Different?
I’m proud to announce that I’m the newest member of the Glam Network! The decision came after a lot of deliberation, and patient-question-answering by the peeps at Glam. I didn’t want to sign a contract with just anyone, and it’s important to me that the advertising on this site goes with the Afrobella aesthetic and…
A Business Proposition
This is almost totally off Afrobella topic, but I saw this video on CNN and it blew my mind. Excuse the clicking throughout the video, and excuse the cop’s salty NSFW language. Be forewarned — if you’ve ever had a nasty encounter with the po-po, this might make your blood pressure rise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8033SPavXEc For those…
The Laziest Gal in Town
** Sorry I missed you yesterday, bellas! Wednesdays are always terrible, because of my deadline for the jobby job. But then finally after deadline, I had a dentist’s appointment. Remember my Superbowl tooth situation? I finally got my permanent crown yesterday. Woo hoo! I can chew gum again! OK, back to your daily dose. One…
We Remember
Where were you six years ago? What were you doing when time seemed to stand still? I remember it as clear as day, even though at the time, it felt like a horrible dream. Tuesday morning, September 11 2001 — I was sleeping over at my then boyfriend’s (now husband’s) place, a college party house…
Fun-In-The-Sun tips from Sunscreen Giveaway Winners!
I got some great tips and chose ten winners. I’m definitely going to use these next summer, or heck — I might start using some of ’em later this week when Miami’s less overcast! Lots of you agree with me and adore aloe vera gel. Imla says, “Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gelly not…
The Glorious Return of Worth a Click
Man, I haven’t done one of these since… MAY??? Wow. There were multiple reasons for it fading away — I’d originally envisioned Worth a Click as a weekly respite from longer posts on my busiest days, but being the verbose writer that I am, it never worked out that way. Ideally, it was supposed to…
Errands to Run and Work to Do
It breaks my heart when I don’t have the time to do a real post in the morning before work, bellas. But I celebrated my Black Weblog victory too late last night, and this morning, duties call. I will be back this evening with the longer stuff I’ve been working on. For now I just…
Jena’s Judgment Days
Today’s the day. A year ago, Mychal Bell was a star on the Jena Giants football team, looking at graduation, and considering his future. Today he will appear before a Louisiana judge, and his lawyers will argue that his conviction should be thrown out. Bell’s the only of the Jena Six to be convicted of…
