Chronicles, Musings and Debates about Interracial & Intercultural Relationships
I just received an email notification from Change.org regarding (now) notorious Django Unchained actress, Danielle Watts and her recent activism on the cause of slut shaming. It’s hard looking at a beautiful black woman whose star was once rising now crash like a comet. To refresh your memory, Danielle Watts was embroiled in a kerfuffleRead More…
Every year serious gardeners have one or two plants that historically haven’t done well, and, not willing to call it a failure, they replant them in a new way–in a pot, out of the pot, more fertilizer or less, more water, less water. For me, corn is that plant. No matter how I wish it […]
Drugstore Beauty Products There has been so really great new products this year in terms of drugstore beauty products! Since I’ve always gotten drugstore products I wanted to share with you some that are worth getting for yourself! L’Oreal Infalliable Pro-Glow Foundation I’ve been dying to try this out! I really like the L’oreal Infalliable […]
Let’s face it. The world reacts a lot differently when one type of does this… And when another looks like this… Don’t believe me? Google “black woman crying” and see how many photos you see. Now go back and Google “woman crying” and see the race most represented in that group. No wonder everyone get […]
I’m going to be writing this post in general terms, because the people interested in what went down already know the story, so I’ll not pollute my blog with the details. But I will say this. This whole experience was a both a costly and priceless learning experience for me, and…and deeply changed me for […]
People have been asking for my opinion about Nate Parker, and the revelation that he was involved in the date rape of a women –who subsequently committed suicide–when he was in college, and the slurry of “he’s changed, this moving is too important to boycott!” nonsense. Folks were saying that we need to rally […]
I got a VERY moving letter from an observer of this video: Good evening! I came across your channel and content through a few YouTube channels I am subbed to right now in light of the recent heated controversy. Originally I was thinking “wait a minute, how dare she be against black men! Don’t we […]
The Question: I have been seeing my girlfriend for about 3 months now. She has yet to meet my family, but she is supposed to go to brunch with me to meet my mother in a few weeks. I told her my mother is planning on voting for Trump because she is a lifelong republican […]
I have to admit, most information and exposure I’ve had to MGTOW men (Men Going Their Own Way) has been utterly frightening, and downright repulsive. So my jaw just about dropped to the pavement when a new subscriber of my You Tube channel (please support and subscribe) wrote this under a video: MGTOW is a “movement” […]
As usual, Donald Trump never fails to disappoint our expectations of what comes out of his mouth. Last week he wanted to round up all the Mexicans and bomb the f*ck out of ISIS and kill their women and children. This week, he’s making an appeal to the black folks. And as usual, the politician […]
It’s finally happening. I’m kicking my first born out of the nest. Tears were shed, but it was mostly my typical wackiness.
I absolutely love this look, because it’s soft, feminine and sexy. The lip color and liner I use looks absolutely sex kittenish. I used this look on my videos this weekend and many of my subscribers asked what I was using. Here it is! 🌺 Foundation: Pure Ananda Sheer Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, DEEP. Root Pretty […]
The Question: Hey Chris, I was just thinking about this, since I see you were doing a video about dating once again, and it got me thinking. Yes, I started think about the days when we were young and in the dating world. And I realized something that I have never heard you talk about. […]
Cruelty-Free Beauty Brands Cruelty free and vegan brands are becoming more and more popular as the years has gone by! If you don’t know what cruelty free means it simply means that companies do not test on animals! Now days so many companies, Youtubers, and celebrities are coming out and talking about it. After researching a ton of cruelty-free […]
When I heard about it, I almost couldn’t believe it. But…to be honest, I did. The idea that interracial dating is such a repugnant option for black women that loving and marrying “each other” would be a viable option for those unlucky enough not to find the trademark Good Black Man™️. As someone who has […]
Hell…I for one, don’t have one. If this woman, a member of AARP, can look like this at 58, I can’t really build an reasonable defense for why my ass and back don’t look like this. One of God’s blessings for black women is that, if we take care of ourselves, eat well, take care […]
Yoga can literally change your life. It can lower your blood pressure and your body weight…the world’s most perfect exercise. I’ve sworn by it for nearly a decade. Sometimes taking a class at a gym or studio can be intimidating, and You Tube videos and DVD’s only limit you to the whims of the creators, […]
The Question of DOOM! On a sunny spring day, I take my baby for a stroll. It’s a really nice day. Perfect, really. Blue sky, fluffy clouds, not too cold. It’s one of the first warm(ish) days of the season. I’m enjoying the day so much that I go alot further from my house than […]
This passed weekend, I had a live Google hangout with a 28 year-old You Tuber with a channel called “The VeGAINator.” In addition to being a vegan, he’s part of the MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) movement. This group of men have a wide overlap, and some of what they discuss intersects with black […]
Lately I’ve been oscillating between wearing my hair out and putting it up so I won’t be so tempted to manipulate it too much. I like to play up my face a little bit more when my hair is up, and amp my makeup game with some contouring, false eyelashes, and a pop of color. […]
Wow. Seeing all the black girl excellence at the Rio Olympics has us hyped here on BB&W. Let’s count them, shall we? Thursday night, Simone Manuel made history when she became the first black woman in the Olympics to ever earn an individual swimming gold medal and the first African-American woman to win an individual […]
