I’ll tell you, in recent weeks it’s been getting harder to come up with an Afrobella of the Week. While there are still some obvious choices coming up in the not-too-distant future, so many women I could have sworn would be all-natural forever have switched it up and gone all weavey or straight on me….

The Art of Maturing Elegantly
Tina Turner shows us all how it’s done with a rare appearance at the Giorgio Armani fashion show in Milan. Note the ageless bob, flawless makeup, and a to-die-for suit that reveals how she’s maintained her figure. I just wish that this was a full-body shot, because you know Tina’s showing off those famous legs!…
Afrobella of the Week: Tamara Tunie
When did NBC become my favorite channel? I’ll admit I was skeptical when the American version of The Office began, but from perhaps the second or third episode when they stopped relying on jokes from the British version so much, it became my favorite show on television bar none. (I’m so much of a fan…
Afrobella of the Week – Serena Williams
Serena Williams is what the Commodores were singing about when they came out with “Brick House.” For real, Serena is built. She’s stacked. She’s incredibly diesel. She’s got a body made for winning championships, as she recently proved at the Australian Open. She dedicated the victory to the memory of her sister Yetunde, who was…
Alice Smith, Afrobella of the Week
My Afrobella of the Week is normally a woman with naturally curly hair, but for this lady, I’m making an exception. I promised a follow-up to my black rocker chicks post, and here it is!

Ask Afrobella – Help Me Transition!
Bellas, I’d like you to meet Katrina Coffee. She’s one of my favorite co-workers, and she’s a funny, smart, fierce sista who has just decided to go natural. Again. See, Katrina’s had a long and turbulent hair journey, just as so many of us have. She hasn’t had relaxer in over a decade, but the…
Afrobella of the Week — Anita Grant, Mixtress Divine
Honey and vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and extra virgin olive oil. We all know that household products such as these can be added to store-bought products (or used to whip up entirely new items), for a quick and relatively easy beauty boost. For some, it’s a home experiment. For Anita Grant, self-described mixtress and creator…
Ask Afrobella – Advice for the Makeup Newbie
I’ve been letting the Ask Afrobellas stack up to a frightening level, and now it’s reckoning time. This question came from a real life friend o’ mine, WLRN jazz DJ and sagacious sistren Tracy Fields. Lovers of straight-ahead jazz and women with soothing, melodic speaking voices can give her a listen on Weekend Jazz, every…
Measha Brueggergosman, Rare Opera Diva and Afrobella of the Week
I’ve made allusions to my job here, but today I will tell you all what I do. I’m the calendar editor of the Miami New Times, and my job is to write and put together the section that includes all of the hottest events in the city for that week. I love having my fingers…
Hair Care for Little Afrobellas
Ladies, I’d like you to meet Dominique Aura, the littlest Afrobella in my family. She’s 17 months old and a bundle of fun. And as you can see, she’s got quite the thick head of hair for such a wee one! Like her Auntie Patrice did at that age, she hates having her hair done….
