"...I don't want to ignore my Blackness. I just want to get to the point where my racial identity is simply a part of what makes me unique..."Essence expresses
"The goal of this month's issue is to create a national dialogue on race that will inform, inspire and empower African-American women."
People are so focused on wanting things now that they aren't willing to spend the time consistently doing small things over time. This attitude results in loads of stress and lost opportunities.Soooooooo with that...I need to get on my game. Operation NWA...12 (Not wearing a size 12) SHOULD be in full effect but isn't! I NEED some motivation!!!

"DEA's position is, it's a language form we have a need for. "I think it's a language form that DEA recognizes a need to have someone versed in to conduct investigations. And Ebonics is no longer spoken only by African-Americans. It crosses over geographic, racial and ethnic backgrounds.

“I’m a big guy 6′4” 210 lbs. It’s not easy for me to find clothes. We gotta do larger sizes. As soon as I get back to NY. I’m on it!”Saks Fifth Avenue will also be adding plus sizes to designer lines by Chanel and Alexander McQueen.
“With Rihanna, pretty soon after she came on the scene, you started seeing designers from Forever 21 to Gucci coming out with styles mimicking her look…We hope the same thing happens here, but I think the ultimate goal is for Willow and Jaden to have their own line. Jada said upfront that she didn’t want us to dress them like standard kids, like with Sesame Street T-shirts. And the kids really like dressing as adults and hope that adults will want to dress like them. But Jada will put her foot down if there’s something she doesn’t like, though if the kids really love it, she’ll usually let it pass."Some of their gear is OVER THE TOP. But I think that a line would be cute for them! What do you guys think?
giftcards. I think I’m saving up now to get me a new Kindle
. Wouldn’t THAT be lovely??? *

Have you seen the movie Inception? If you haven't...then you need to go see it! As I talked about it with other people, it is starting to give me the LOST 
vibe. LOVE IT! :o) I am still trying to understand all of what actually happened. LOL It is so intriguing to think about the subconscious mind. We enter into the character's dreams and then into the deepest parts of their minds. PUT YOUR BRAINS TO WORK. You can't miss a beat and you have to be open to explore!Visionary filmmaker Christopher Nolan (Memento, The Dark Knight) writes and directs this psychological sci-fi action film about a thief who possesses the power to enter into the dreams of others. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) doesn't steal things, he steals ideas. By projecting himself deep into the subconscious of his targets, he can glean information that even the best computer hackers can't get to. In the world of corporate espionage, Cobb is the ultimate weapon. But even weapons have their weakness, and when Cobb loses everything, he's forced to embark on one final mission in a desperate quest for redemption. This time, Cobb won't be harvesting an idea, but sowing one. Should he and his team of specialists succeed, they will have discovered a new frontier in the art of psychic espionage. They've planned everything to perfection, and they have all the tools to get the job done. Their mission is complicated, however, by the sudden appearance of a malevolent foe that seems to know exactly what they're up to, and precisely how to stop them.

"We are so excited!" Bentley -- who first rose to fame when he was
photographed holding Diddy's umbrella -- told Us Wednesday.
The singer, author and reality star (From G's to Gents) proposed to
actress Faune Chambers (who co-starred with Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of
Benjamin Button) on December 2009 near their Atlanta hometown.
He got down on one knee with a 3-carat asscher-cut diamond from
NYC's Ozuro Fine Jewelry.
"I tricked her! She thought it would happen on Christmas but I did
it right before New Year's," Bentley tells Us. "She said yes and I was so
excited. Afterward, she kept wanting to call and tell her mother and I told her
not to - because then we walked into a restaurant where my parents and her
parents were waiting. We all had lunch and then I walked them all back to show
them where I proposed."
"The wedding is pretty soon!" adds Bentley, 36.
Chambers, 33, also plays the lead in the music video for new single
"Greener," off his EP Cool Outrageous Fingerprint (out this summer).
"It's really special to say my fiancee is in the video. I love
using that word. You don't get to do it too long, so it's really special!"
gushes Bentley.
