Swizz Beatz Gets Personal (Speaks on Marriage, His...
Have you ever wanted to be a fly on a wall when Men get together and talk about relationships and all of that good stuff?
That’s just how I felt after peeping an interesting clip of Swizz Beatz and Hot 97’s DJ Enuff over at Miss Info’s spot. In the clip, which is a part of [...]
Shaping Young Lives!
Mother Teresa said the most difficult cases she dealt with in Calcutta were those who’d lost their appetite entirely, or were so sickly they couldn’t feed themselves or digest food...As Christians we’ll die spiritually if we don’t feed ourselves on God’s Word each day! Jeremiah said, “Your words were found, and I ate them, and Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart.”This past Sunday was the beginning of a new thing for me....I became a young adult Sunday School teacher....Now, i am some what a very shy person....For me to stand and teach in front of a large number of people is total new and different for me...I love working in the church but I like the behind the scenes kinda thing...I am also a ( usher ) door keeper in my church...Any way the first four lessons will deal with the Bible....The lesson on Sunday explain how the Word of God is: UNIQUE, POWERFUL and RELIABLE....I wanted the class to understand that the Bible provides truth to those who will READ it words...I also tried to explain how important it is to set aside time for Bible reading....In other words you got to make time....I ask each student to think of the Bible as the mind of God....We all no we can't read minds but in this (GOD ) case we can...And GOD gives us permission to do so with the Bible....My prayer is that God use me to impact young people lives for the Kingdom.

Men and Women Can Still Be Friends..
…even after the relationship goes sour.
Tyrese was spotted at a yogurt shop yesterday with his ex-wife Norma Mitchell and daughter Shayla. Tyrese met Norma while visiting London in 2002. He spoiled her with expensive gifts and she eventually dropped out of college & moved to the states with him shortly after wards.
Problems didn’t arise [...]
Diamond & Trina Perform “My Chick Bad” With Luda…
Diamond (formerly of Crime Mob) and Trina chopped it up backstage of 106 and Park yesterday before joining Ludacris on stage for “My Chick Bad”. If Eve had emerged, that would have made my life.
I’m still a little iffy on Diamond’s skills but she was mad crunk when she hit the stage. That energy mixed [...]
Out of Our Minds—Trauma, Depression, and the Black...
Out of Our Right Minds - Trauma, Depression and the Black Woman from Stacey Muhammad on Vimeo.
For some time now I have been planning and researching a series on African Americans and mental illness. I am not a psychologist or psychiatrist, nor do I have any background in counseling, but for a while now, I have been coming in contact with African Americans from disparate backgrounds who seem to exhibit symptoms of mental illness, or who, at the very least, seem to be under such enormous pressure to succeed or to fit in within both their own community as well as the mainstream community that some form of counseling would be of great benefit to them.
However, many African Americans, for whatever reason, seem reluctant to seek counseling or pursue mental health services. In fact, the subject of mental illness seems almost taboo in the African American community. But this is a conversation that I really feel needs to had sooner rather than later.
Stacey Muhammad of Wildseed Films/Intelligent Media sent over this short clip from her most recent short documentary
Out of Our Minds—Trauma, Depression, and the Black Women. Ms. Muhammad explains her film thusly:
This film explores Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome and the experience of trauma, and how the lives of Black women have been affected by these experiences.
Black women from all walks of life, speak openly and candidly about depression, mental illness, anxiety, stress, [and] why these discussions are considered taboo in the African American community, and ways in which we begin to—and continue to—heal the wounds.
As Women’s History Month progresses, I believe that this is an important and worthwhile beginning to a very necessary conversation. Take a look at the video, and let me know what you think.
