Today is one of my favorite musician’s birthdays, and I just gotta give props to the man who’s been by my side and in my ear during the good times and bad. Stevie Wonder is a musical legend, and today he turns 57. Here’s a link to my last little Stevie tribute, and here’s his…

How You Can Help
The tragedy in Myanmar is absolutely staggering — Cyclone Nargis wrecked the country a week ago, and reports of the death toll are conflicting, but terrifyingly high. State-run Myanmar television sets it at 28,458, with 33,416 people still missing. The Times Online indicates that the death toll could reach a million if disease sets in…

Heavy sigh. OK, here goes. I love doing Afrobella giveaways, and I try to host them as often as I can. Most of the time, they go extremely well — I review a product I like and I think is worth your attention, end my post with an offer for you lovely bellas to win…
Fashion Mission — Bright Yellow Top
I am obsessed. I’ve been daydreaming about it. The perfect bright yellow tee, at the perfect affordable price. Let’s be real here — money is tight and times are hard. I wish I had $500 to just blow on the hot new trends, but I don’t. Not if I want to pay for gas and…
What Next, HilDog?
I never thought I’d say this… but I kinda feel sorry for Hillary Clinton. She insists on staying in the race, but the numbers are clearly stacked against her.

Summer Footwear, Having a Blast
Too much politics gets me down, bellas. Time to lighten up with a shoe post! I don’t know how the weather is where you’re living, but for me in Miami, it feels like summer already. It isn’t quite at the point where I feel like I’m melting as soon as I open the door to…
Out in the Streets, They Call It Murder
I had already left my home on Friday, by the time the Sean Bell verdict dropped. So I took the weekend to absorb the shock, and to try to understand how this verdict could possibly be handed down. I’m still at a loss. My immediate emotional response to the news that the three accused officers…
