Ms. Phia D. Presents...her First Art Show
Whitney Houston Laid to Rest
Tweet Whitney Houston’s funeral was held over the weekend in her hometown, Newark, New Jersey. The four hour funeral was star-studded with her famous friends, family members and fans. Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Kim Burrell paid tribute and Kevin Costner reflected on his former co-star with voice wavering, “there’s a lady in Heaven who is making God himself wonder how he created something so perfect so off you go Whitney, off you go.” Bobby Brown walked out of the church over a dispute over seating arrangements. Gold cars brought her casket to Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey. Houston’s headstone Read More →
In Case You Missed It: Open Season on Women’s Bodies
Tweet Exhausted at your vagina being politicized yet? Enter Virginia’s “transvaginal ultrasound” anti-abortion bill. (no pun intended) My boyfriend exclaimed “Oh my Gawd, I thought Virginia was for lovers. No?” Love’s got nothing to do with non-consensual vaginal penetration with an ultrasound probe or outlawing contraception but CNN contributor, sees the vaginal probe as no different than consensual sex. [WSJ] [ThinkProgress] No women allowed at a Congressional panel about birth control and evidently not allowed at discussions involving WHY No women were at said congressional panel *face palm* [GenderReport] According to Liz Trotta, women in the military, should “expect” to Read More →
The Valentine’s Day Brainwash
Tweet By Nexus So here we are again, February 14th. Valentine’s Day. The day where many men (yes, men) and women lose their minds and act as if there is no other day in the year to express love, have love, or to be loved. I hope that didn’t sound bitter, because it’s not meant to. I’ve just never understood why some people take this random day so seriously. I’m not talking about the people who enjoy giving cards and candies to their loved ones or the people who love to decorate, wine and dine somewhere new, or add some Read More →
The Beauty of Saying NO!
Tweet By Christophe Lima Your boss has asked you to stay late…again. You say ‘Yeah, sure!’…again. You think ‘I’ll just go to the gym next week’ or ‘I’ll postpone dinner with [fill in valued persons name here]’ or ‘I’ll make time for me and/or my family next week’. When the project is over you get a ‘Thanks’ from your boss (maybe), and you hope that they will remember all of the extra work that you put in when evaluation time comes. Or, perhaps, the situation is more personal. This time, it’s your friends and family who are really leaning on Read More →
Confessions of a Serial Monogamist
Tweet By Seriah B. Hello. My name is Seriah and I’m a serial relationship-er. Now I would never actually make this statement but several of my friends have coined me the “serial monogamist” of the group. I have to admit that I really don’t remember an instance where I was single for a significant period of time. The last time was probably early on in high school. I don’t go out and seek male companionship, it just seems to happen. I’m usually the girl that a guy befriends because I’m cool and down to earth. I usually get the silly Read More →
Let Go of Fear and Seize Your Opportunities
Tweet By Siobhan I think one of the biggest obstacles holding a person back, especially women, isn’t money or lack of opportunities… it’s fear. Fear is crippling. It’s like you stepped in quick-dry cement and weren’t fast enough. I’ve seen amazingly talented people miss life-changing opportunities because of their own personal fear. Including me. I have missed opportunities to study abroad, internships in other states, among others, because I was scared. I feared failure, I feared that this isn’t what I actually wanted and it would be a waste of time. I also feared that my boyfriend at the time Read More →
Women, Make the Decision to Leave
Tweet Last week was one filled with absolute inspiration. It was a week filled with stories of women overcoming and leaving. Women leaving their previous condition, their situation, their burdens and strife. That is an immensely difficult action to carry out. A few days ago, I was discussing the constant whining from a couple of reality TV show girlfriends about how their boyfriends would not commit, treat them like dirt and constantly cheat on them. I was utterly confused. Just leave them OR get happy being treated like crap. Those are the two choices. If you get into a relationship Read More →
L’oreal’s New Marketing Strategy- Find Your ‘True’ Shade Based on Your Nationality
Tweet Late last night, while watching trash tv, a L’oreal commercial featuring JLo came on and I diverted my attention to my laptop, feigning work mode for the few minutes between my mindless entertainment. My boyfriend called my attention back to the commercial saying “Did you just see that?” “See what?” I asked. “It said 100% Puerto Rican just now.” “Huh? No way, why would it say that?” I asked perplexed. My boyfriend rewound the commercial (thanks DVR!) and paused it and pointed the big bold letters on the screen. ’100% PUERTO RICAN’ right on JLo’s face. I was so Read More →

Tweet Viola Davis From co-starring with Denzel Washington in the critically acclaimed Broadway hit ‘Fences’ to ‘The Help’ to adopting a baby girl, 2010 and 2011 proved fruitful for Davis.
