Black Women Broaden Your Horizons~~~PLEASE

There are sooooo many reality shows on tv these days. Too many to count and keep up with. I will admit I do watch a couple of them. The primary function of these shows I see, well I do believe is to show how stupid some people are and give us something to laugh at. Have mercy, I laugh at these characters all the time. Remember Tiffany Pollard aka "New York" from the show "Flavor Of Love" with Flavor Flav? She also had 2 shows of her own "I Love New York" 1 and 2. She'll always have a show or appear in one. Every Since I started laughing at her I never stopped. I will admit I enjoy watching her perform. Every week she shows how ignorant she is, that she has no class, uneducated and just plain stupid. Truly, she makes black women look bad, but I can't stop watching her. She is entertainment all by herself.



She obviously makes alot of money for VH1, because they gave her yet another show. This is her third with the network. "NY Goes To Hollywood" is the name of her new endeavor. This series is about her trying to become a serious actress,yeah right.I really don't want to bash any woman trying to get hers, and I especially would love to support every black woman in her success.



I don't catch it on the nights it originally airs. I usually watch the show online. It's the show I watched today, the 3rd episode that I am writing this post about. Like I said she is ridiculous. First, the way she wears her hair, makeup and clothes is a personal choice so I won,t comment on how she looks.

In this episode she gets a commercial shooting for a Japanese energy drink. Her manager tells her to do some research on Japanese culture. She obviously, thinks that everyone who is Asian, may be Japanese. So to do her research she goes to a cleaners where the woman there is Korean. She really doesn't know that Japan and Korea are not the same place. Black women let me say it again, broaden your horizons. Learn something it doesn't have to be alot, but at least the basics. Then she goes to a nail salon asking if they are Japanese. Of course they aren't. It seems as if even they were making fun of her. Wow, why not just go online and do some research or to a library where there are books? Too easy, huh? Maybe it's me but if I wanted to do research on a culture there are museums, art galleries, maybe even that countries embassy. No she goes to store owners for help. If you would do the same let me know.

She is willing to work hard on her commercial shoot. I will give her that much. During the shooting she was professional enough. It seemed she wanted to do well and show everyone she could do it. I hope that she does well and that I sincerely mean. I just hope she broadens her horizons, cuz she needs it.
You have got see all of her episodes and then you will see she is funny as all hell.

As black women we really should watch how we are potrayed and when its not right we need to be as loud as we can about our disapproval. I don't feel as if I am ever being judged by how other black women act, but I do want all black women to get the resepect we desrve.

So the moral to this post is Black Women broaden your horizons...PLEASE!!!!!

Breast Cancer Study For Sisters, Gift Registry for Breast Cancer Patients

I came across this site and as you can see it needs to be shared. This is a study for women who has had or have a sister with breast cancer. They are looking for all ethnic groups. At this time there maybe certain groups of women they are looking for more than others. If you are between the ages of 35 and 74, never had breast cancer and live in the United State or Puerto Rico then this study is one you should consider participating in. If you know someone who seems to be eligible pass this information on. For more valuable info The Sister Study.org

Another site I came across Links In Pink.Com lets women who are battling and surviving breast cancer start a gift registry. There's a tool to use to help you meditate. Search the site I'm sure there's some interesting things there. Any site that tries to help people and their families during a hard time is worth checking out, so I hope you can.
My prayers go out to all those during a hard time as this must be.

More Black Women Die In Childbirth Than Any Other Ethnic Group!!!!

I guess you're not all that surprised, are you? Well, I'm not surprised but I am very saddened to hear this. It seems our community is stricken with so many diseases that effects us much more severely than any other ethnic group. AIDS/HIV, cancer, hypertension, diabetes and the list goes on and on. I came across this article on BET.com. Seniors can't get their medicine and families are under insured or no health insurance at all. Black folk we really have to take care of ourselves and each other. Develop programs in our neighborhoods that those without adequate health care can get the assistance they need. Seniors can't afford to buy medicine and families are under insured or have none at all. Churches and social organizations can play a big part in helping Black America get healthy. Why not hold classes and seminars to help us understand what some of our symptoms may be so we can address them, fight them and live long healthy lives? I know some of these things are being done, but we need more. Obviously there isn't enough to help those who need this information.

My mother had a sister who died while giving birth to her second child. Growing up I often wondered how that could happen. To tell the truth I still wonder how it happens. We know that has to be hard for a family. I'm sure my Grandparents and the rest of my family and their community took it hard. That happened in the 50's.Well this is real life and it does happen and it will continue to happen.Let's do what we can to become a more healthier community, a healthier America and untimely the world.

Go Green Baby!!!

Take notice of how our world is changing. We hear so much about global warming, it really makes you wonder is it too late to save our sweet world. The intensity of hurricanes, glaciers melting,and destroying of the ozone layer are some of the effects believed to be caused by global warming. I was speaking with a co-worker the other day and I asked her when was the last time she saw an earth worm, a pretty little lady bug or even lightning bugs. I remember as a young girl living in the projects, catching lightning bugs in jars and then watching them light up at night. Winters were so cold that tears would come to your eyes as soon as you hit the outdoors and you could hear the wind blowing in your ears. That's when the hawk was out for sure and it was strong. Now during the winter as long as you dress warm most days aren't too bad.



One thing I have noticed, alot of people don't recycle. People I work with don't recycle and people in my building don't recycle. That's not to say that no one does, but I wish more people did. We take alot for granted. We overuse, don't conserve or recycle. Boy, are we in trouble.


I try and do a little and I want to do more. At home I recyle everthing I can or what I'm suppose to. Bottles, cans, paper all have a place to be stored. Now that's just a little. There are whole communities that are going green all the way. From the food they eat to how they take showers and use the toilet or not use the toilet. Something we hear so much about and never would have thought this possible, using vegetable oil as fuel for cars. Well people are doing their part to help our planet and things like this make me feel this earth will be a safe place for our children.



Here's 5 things we can do now to help save our earth:

1)Everyone loves a clean house(well most people do, some people are just nasty)but anyway did you know that alot of the products we use to keep our homes fresh contain chemicals, dyes and fragrances that can irritate eyes, skin and the respiratory tract. Look for products that are nontoxic,biodegradable and phosphate and chlorine- free.

2)This idea is also a healthy one, prepare a meatless dinner once a week. There are alot of resources used to get meat to the store. Water, grain, land and fuel for transportation all for us to have the meat we crave.

3)Support businesses that have made the change to green. If they can make a change you can too and we all benefit. Find businesses in your area Co-op America's National Green Pages can help CoopAmerica.Org

4)Redecorating soon? Well even the paint you use can help the environment. There was a time when you had to worry about lead in the paint. Now, you have to worry about synthetic materials used in petroleum based paint also in latex paint. They give off harmful compounds that evaporate into the air and linger for years. Imagine the harm that may cause. You need to use paint with a low or zero VOC (volatile organic compounds). Their made from plant oils, mineral and vegetable pigments. You can look for the paints among Benjamin Moore Eco Spec and Aura lines, also Sherwin Williams Harmony lines.

5)If your tired of junk mail,let someone know. It's big business for the USPS, but a pain for us all. When you don't want the mailings what do you do with the mail? Recycle I hope. Well, if you don't shame on you, but I'm sure after this post you'll start. You can go to the Direct Marketing association's site DMAChoice.Org and have your name removed from mailing lists.
