by Harriet Hairston
A few months back, I wrote an article about silly things grown folks shouldn’t do like blowing bubbles, coloring and jumping on the bed.  These are all silly things we can do to stay in touch with our inner child.  *Insert big, huge, gigantic “BUT” right here.*  That said, there are SERIOUSLY some things grown folks shouldn’t do, especially if they are married with children.  Yet the news and human nature are chock full of examples that should not be so.  Here are a few …

by Tara Pringle Jefferson
When both of my younger sisters went to college, I gave them each three pieces of advice.

A Girl Like Me

by Aja Dorsey Jackson
After watching the Rihanna interview on Friday I went online to see what the masses had to say, as I usually do when I see something happen in the media. Although I was not surprised, it was still troubling to see the large number of Black women commenting online almost with contempt for the pop star.
