Black in America II

Now I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t watch Black in America pt.

The hope and the dream…the Prototype

Doing my morning reading, and I came across this post by BlogXilla that highlighted President and First Lady Obama as exemplars for black love and commitment to the black family.  If you didn’t know by now its a goal of mine to make a significant impact in the state of the Black Family-by helping to [...]

You DID that!

First off…but wait….there’s more

I can’t get enough of these guys, honestly I can’t. Oh yes Hillary Clinton is Secretary of State, which I think is wonderful and well deserved. I was hoping she wouldn’t waste her life, so to speak, being a Senator when she could be adding to her resume for running in 2016.
I [...]
