So you remember back in February I was wondering what Ms. Dynamite was up to? I found out, thanks to one of my new favorite sites — Racialicious. Turns out she’s been in Jamaica working on a BBC documentary about the Maroons, which aired last Sunday on BBC 2. I’d love to see this documentary….

Not Today
I’m pretty much drowning in work today, so no post from me until later, bellas. But I do have two quick things to say. 1. Paging Kam! Kam, you won the conditioner sample and I’ve tried e mailing you three times to no avail. My e mail has been returned every time. If you want…
Respect to the Afrofellas
Way back when I interviewed Lisa Price of Carol’s Daughter, she shared a natural hair trend she’d been noticing. “More and more boys are growing their hair out,” she said. Now I’ve been noticing that myself. There’s something about a guy who’s brave enough to grow out his hair and fly the natural flag high…
My New Daily Basics
I ran out of L’Oreal Bare Minerale powder back in January, and I knew I wanted to stick with mineral powder, but it was time for an upgrade. Armed with a gift card and a husband bored out of his mind, I made my way to every beauty junkie’s favorite crackhouse — Sephora. This needed…
Throwback Jam of the Day: Jonell featuring Method Man – Round and Round
Shhh. Don’t tell anybody, but I used to have a little crush on Method Man back in the day. I’m talking back when he was just coming into his own and was still Wu Tang grimy, before the debacle that was Method and Red — possibly the wackest sitcom ever. (Meth would agree, I think)….
Crazy Delicious
So as per request, from time to time I’ll be switching it up and writing about food. It took me a long time to become comfortable in the kitchen. I grew up in a house where dinner magically appeared on the table, and the most I ever got involved in the kitchen was to help…
Worth a Click
Mike Judge’s Idiocracy is the funniest movie that you probably haven’t seen yet. Hell, if the studio had anything to do with it, you probably never even heard of the film. The man who brought you Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill and (one of my favorite movies of all time) Office Space, has…
What Condition My Conditioner’s In
* Just so you all know, this post was ready to go up this morning. But when I woke up, I had no cable, no internet, and because we have Vonage, no phone. Now that my situation is rectified, back to your regularly scheduled afrobella post. You’ll hear many an afrobella talk about abandoning shampoo,…
An Expensive Addiction
Did you miss me yesterday? I had one of those insane-workload-followed-by-dentist’s-appointment days. In fact, I have another one of those lined up for today! On days like that, I feel like I need to wear a good luck talisman of some sort. My mom gave me a jade bangle some years ago and I never…
Happy Feet
Feet are the workhorses of your body. We shove them into tight shoes, punish them with designer heels, and roughen them by walking around barefoot. When I was a teenager, my feet were oh so soft. Now they have become hard and tough from abuse. I can’t always afford a trip to Nail Fever (my…
