Color Blind Beauty x AnonyMs.
Dear Diary, Some issues that the Black community face, can be so sensitive that we sweep them under the rug with hopes that no one talks about it. We hardly ever openly confront HIV/AIDS, which is detrimental to our health, especially if we are sexually active. Therefore, actively discussing and attacking this issue is far fetched. I hope to see…
Too Young For You x @MrKarver
Last week, I had an incredibly sarcastic conversation with one of my boys in midst of an impromptu trip to the Nati that went something like this: “I know you bout to hit up them icebreakers!!” I had no response, literally just sat there. I mean let’s be honest, what I look like damn near 26, scheming on some little…
We Can Play House x @RhyanLomax
When is it too soon to “shack up” w/ your mate?! There are two things that prompted this post. One being that I was watching an episode of ‘Guy Code’, and they were discussing when your girlfriend moves in and all the changes that occur. The second being that my homeboy is moving in with his girlfriend after 3 months…
What Goes Around x JusTeah
After sparking a very interesting conversation Sunday morning on Twitter, it got my mind to churning. In looking around at what is becoming of this world, I truly do fear bringing another child into this world…especially a son. I say that because of the things our sons are exposed to. Many of our young black males are falling victim to…
Consider These X Corrie Bradshaw
Relationships are hard fucking work. I remember when I was single. And I remember when I was bitter about being single. These were two different times in my life as they are not synonymous.” There were times where I enjoyed single life a little more than I should have. (The phase otherwise known as college). However, I’ve always known when…
Varsity Blues x Ms. Jones
All too often, we hear about promising athletes who are on their way to becoming hometown heroes but fall short due to the “Varsity Blues”. If you listen to Wale’s “Varsity Blues”, the background includes different samples from news reports that reveal the ruin of an athlete’s career due to some form of illegal activity. We witness this time and…
Is R&B Dead?! X @MrKarver
Aside from politics and religion, music just may be the most debated topic particularly within the black community. I still remember the onslaught that took place in 2006 when Nas declared to the world that hip hop was dead…and then followed it up with an album by the very same title. So I was beyond shocked while on FB (during…
It’s Them or Me…. x JusTeah
It seems as though every week, my quarter-life crisis returns, and there is some bigger issue staring me in the face waiting to be resolved. The older I get, the more clear things become, but in the same sense…get a lot more difficult. I’m at the point in my life where I know I’m ready to settle down, and build…
The Elephant in the Room x Corrie Bradshaw
“I told you about her when you asked me about it.” “We already had this discussion.” No sir. We did not. The thing about women is….we never forget when our men mention other women. Ever. If there is a past relationship, smanging, or love connection specifically discussed about a certain woman, trust and believe it is duly noted in detail…
People Don’t Dance No More x Ms. Jones
As young whipper snappers, we could not WAIT to become grown adults so that we could get into an infamous night club. Some of us were able to get out to the teen clubs and shake our imagination all night long while completely sober. Non-stop dancing from the first song until the last…we had a pretty good time! As time…
