I'm done for today. I cant...

Breaking Point.... #AltonSterling

My heart aches...
How many more of our men will be murdered?
How many more families will lose sisters, mothers, fathers, brothers?
How many more unfit officers will get off for murder?
How many more hashtags will we see before we make a change in this corrupt system?
I am so tired of the same routine, year after year. This hashtag, that hashtag, and so forth. What are we not doing? Why are these unfit monsters able to call themselves police officers and be able to lurk and patrol for their next victims night after night, year after year and no one see's the signs? Why does this keep happening? I don't understand. As a mother of a black son, I am terrified when I SHOULDN'T be. I shouldn't have to anticipate having a sit down with my son briefing him on tips to survive an encounter with the police when chances are he's going to be shot ANYWAY.

At this point, what can we do to prove that there needs to be a change?

Fergie Epic M.I.L.F$ Video (Extreme Slayage)

And of course I had to do a makeup look for this video! I chose Ciara's look because I love how edgy it was but it was still sultry and feminine.




Here is how I did this look:

We Have All Been There....

                                   
We have all been there. Fell madly in love. Thought that this guy was THE ONE. That his love was different than the rest but then.....

SHIT GOT REAL!

Yes, Iggy has said some crazy things in the past. I get it. But as a woman, I feel for her. Here she is, totally in love and engaged and then BOOM, she finds herself finding out first through security footage that her man isn't what she thought he was AND then she logs on to twitter to find out not only has he been unfaithful but he has managed in between bringing randoms into the house while she was gone, to knock up his baby mama. Damn!
                                   

No lie, I would have went Angela Basset on that ass. There is only so much I could take and that would have been my breaking point. Why would you go out of your way to get engaged to someone who you have no intentions on doing right by? Why not save your coins and stay single? Doesn't that make more sense?

I hope she gets through this and doesn't carry her scars for years to come. Usually after that really bad guy, you find your prince. I hope that for her. I hope that for all women who are going through it. We deserve someone who will love us but most of all appreciate us enough to give us the love that we deserve....the first time.

The Problem With Jesse Williams

                            
 Let me say, I have admired this man physically for a long time. Peeped him in Rihanna's "Russian Roulette" video. I have seen him on Greys' Anatomy. However, I didn't really know him. This all changed Sunday night during the BET Awards. When he opened his mouth, I'm sure most expected an average "Thank you, lets continue trying the change the world" speech but what we got was way more than that. What we witnessed was magic, that was very real.

"This is for the real organizers all over the country, the activists, the civil rights attorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish and destroy us cannot stand if we do."

This got my attention. This got everyones attention. At this moment I knew that this wasn't going to be your average thank you speech. Greater was coming.

"Now, this is also in particular for the black women in particular who have spent their lifetimes dedicated to nurturing everyone before themselves. We can and we will do better for you"

When he said this....

Black women are the most disrespected, overlooked human beings to exist. We are told constantly in rap lyrics how we are just for fun and friendly fucks NOT love. How we are often the head of the household because we have no choice. How some of our men denounce us as an excuse to explain their preference for other races. We are often kicked, we are often dragged for filth and we have been forgotten. But Jesse...

He went on to drop more jewels as I'm sure most of you witnessed.

After giving us gem after gem in his speech, why is that people are focusing on his "light skinned privilege"? Now I am not denying the notion that having light skin can get you a bit further. It has been proven. But lets applaud the fact that a biracial man (his mother is white, father is black) was so flawlessly raised by both of his parents and that they taught him his history. All of it. Not that one chapter a year history we got in grade school. They went way further and in depth with it, as any parent should. He is well aware of white privilege just as much as he is aware of the injustice that we have gone through and experienced in this country because of that white privilege and him being half black doesn't take away from the fact that he is very educated on what it's like to be black in America. It seems to me because he called for more black men to be better to us that they have to overlook that statement and discredit that statement by saying "but he's half white". Well Kendrick's been saying it, Tupac been said it, and other fully black men have been saying it for centuries so my question is when are some of ya'll going to listen?  We love you, we honor, we need you, but most of all we NEED your respect.

The problem with Jesse Williams is not that he is light-skinned, the problem with Jesse Williams is that he spoke the truth. He made you look deep inside of your self. He made you aware of how this world has you so wrapped around it's finger and you are often times wrapping yourselves willingly in exchange for worthless things.
                                                      
Jesse Williams is not angry. He is aware. His eyes have been open and he is daring us to open ours as well. He is inspiring. He is beautiful. He is everything that I would love for my son to be. Honestly, if our black men banded together to love us, to honor us and honor our families, and if we supported each other and got on one accord....do you understand how powerful we could be?
