Understanding the true meaning of life – “self awareness 

Remember when 90’s r&b was hot back I’m the day – ah the good old day’s;

those we’re the  times when  people were what seem’s the happiest and

artists took the time to create music that shed light and love.

With the world now promoting Misery and doubt – it’s no wonder the world has

become such a lonely place- or is it?

wasn’t happening in my home due to my mom being a single parent- her mean

concern was  keeping us safe and putting food on the table; none the less I had

a great child hood – I’m proud to say.

Black history – The magic of “Afro – Hair”

I couldn’t end this month  – with out discussing the power of “Afro – hair “  for centuries  black women hair has been a hot topic, So much that in 1786, the Tignon Laws were passed in Louisiana,

requiring Black women to cover their hair

with a cloth head covering (tignon). This

law was enacted because free women of

color were wearing elaborate hairstyles;

but of corse the power of “black a women” could never be with out with out its own bones – black women started to adorn
