Ariana of KnowThis TV: Sexy is about Knowing Yourself
Regina: Health and Fitness Guru
They call me the health and fitness guru at work. I’m a 29 plus plus year-old from New York City. I have tried my hand at everything fitness, from 80’s old school Jane Fonda Tapes to running in Central Park, spinning and sweating in a 105+ degree Bikram Yoga room. And, I love participating in team sports like softball and volleyball. I absolutely love to cook and I love to cook healthy. I am into the community-supported agriculture, like shopping at my local Farmer’s markets. I cook what’s in season and I love to make my plate look like a Read More →
We Can Call it Love for Now
By T. Lloyd, founder of VirginFingertips I must admit for a long time i didn’t think I was good enough for a certain type of love and when i say long time, I mean five years. The term single mother plays with your mind. It means way more than just raising a child alone, soon enough, it means being alone or settling into relationships that were unfulfilling in some way shape or form. however, I’ve realized two things in the past week.

Chocolate and Flowers and Such…
By T. Lloyd, founder of VirginFingertips I told myself I would have nothing to say about Valentine’s Day but I am made up of three things; acrylic, strawberry shakes and estrogen. It wouldn’t be me if I didn’t talk about the commercial holiday that threatens the very existence of what it is supposed to celebrate. P.S. I’m eating a chocolate covered marshmallow pie for breakfast which can be considered evidence of how delusional I am as I write this. Read More
Black History Month Heroes
This Black History gallery was compiled by Kelvin Bennet. He did the research himself and most of these people he’s known about since he was a child. It is valuable history everyone should get acquainted with.
Nobody Smiling V 2.0
Sister Toldja, is the founder and editor of The Beautiful Struggler In my last post, I mentioned a comment that The Champ made over at VSB in regards to Black women making tons of ‘excuses’ as to why we walk down the street with a blank look, mean mug or some other physical ‘Don’t bother me’ cue written all over their faces. I also took this issue on last year over at Clutch. I hear chatter about Black women and not smiling more often than I’d like to and it doesn’t seem that the conversation is going to end anytime Read More →

By Mecca, Founder and Editor of Fashion Personified I love mittens! They are more playful and keep your hands warmer than gloves. While some may think they come off as juvenile, there are many chic and stylish options available. Read More
Will Huffington Post’s Global Black Venture Be Epic or Average?
By JDan – Founder and Editor of MediaStrut and Player Perspective It’s no surprise that web giant Huffington Post is launching a site for blacks. The Washington Post has “The Root,” and NBC has “The Grio,” and HuffPo almost certainly wants in on the kind of ad dollars black audiences can attract. What struck me as both odd and possibly promising were Sheila Johnson’s comments on the venture: Read More

Simple Steps to Protect Yourself Online
As a recent survivor of identity theft and hacking, I have learned the hard way about protecting yourself on the internet. Someone in Houston made a purchase, using my information to buy a phone. The purchase was for over $500. I caught the theft that very same day because I have an alert on my bank account for transactions made over a certain amount. Imagine my utter shock, surprise and outrage when I came out of my Bikram class and saw this text alert telling me about this online purchase I made. I took a minute to insert my eyeballs Read More →
The Boy Virginia Made Takes Over Europe
I was born in Norfolk, Virginia without a father. Yes, I had one; he just wasn’t present at my birth. It should’ve been evident from that moment that I was going to be making the journey from Boy to Man alone. But that’s not actually correct, because I didn’t make the journey alone. I had the help of my mother, my family, teachers and people I’ve befriended along the way. Now I’m in London, England living my life as an actor and pursuing my dreams. Who would’ve thought that a young country bumpkin boy from VA would make it to Read More →
