Green or Yellow mucus? 8230;is what my modern ‘medicine woman’ asked me over Facebook. Id just returned from a trip to NY where I fell ill. My mom, concerned about my lingering cold, wanted to send me to a doctor straight away. There’s just one complication…. Ive been ineligible to receive benefits from my mom’s employer provided health insurance coverage since February 18, 2008 – the day I turned 23. She sent over B-complex, and D vitamins, along with some Triphala. When you have companies that are maki...

3 Year Anniversary of Katrina - Preparing for Gustav. It seems too easily forgotten that 3 years ago today Hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath ravaged so many lives, did irreparable damage to families and left so many homeless in the Gulf. And while today marks the three year anniversary, I have seen little dedicated to remembering these folks and the concern that yet another storm. Might hit this blighted area that our nation has YET to really address. Please, stop and think about it. Links to this post.

HIV: We're Not Taking it Lying Down. The "HIV: We're Not Taking it Lying Down" campaign has a multi-layered message which speaks to the strength and empowerment of women, while recognizing the realities of women's lives including trauma, stigma and injustice. It gives voice to women's impatience with public complacency regarding the impact of HIV on women of color. Visit the folks at GMHC. Links to this post. Biking from Regime Bush to Regime Change.

The Amerykhan Promise vs. 42 Laws of Maat. Is, quite possibly, the track I underrated most on "Nu Amerykah." That's probably due in part because I wanted to groove. When I first got the album, I wasn't really listening. It is also due in part because Track One kinda freaked me out even though I really didn't understand it at first. Nearly 9 months later, and with yet more perspective behind me, I have a better grasp. Promise Promise, Amerykahn Promise.". Hold On- MY PEO-PLE! Green Eyes - Erykah Badu.

On HAITI: Dear Journalists, Looting Doesn't Exist in a DISASTER Area. Every other day, when I peek in at Haiti, my heart starts beating fast… I click through pictures, and I read “nearly 200,000 dead.” And I try to imagine: What would Oakland (where I live now), or Flushing, NY (where I grew up), look like if there were upwards of 200,000 dead people lying in the streets? I close the screen. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). On HAITI: Dear Journalists, Looting Doesnt Exist . Cuz We Said So!

That's exactly what this December 2007 Hanes ad campaign. Some person's purge of stereotypes onto a canvas, for all the world to see. Apparently these images have been abuzz in the Blogosphere. Ofcourse, 4 months after the fact. Fellow blogger Ana ( blackbrown and queer. Posted this and I had to add (no pun intended) my two cents. Like her, I agree that the concept is kind of clever. But clever is as clever does. And it's definitely a stretch. Tags" and "labels" are a FAR CRY from SLURS. Furthermore, it ...
