I’ve been sitting here at my computer reminiscing back to the 1970′s when Soul Train was the hottest spot on TV. So, here I am thinking that I want to share some of this with you. I’m not going to put all of them here, but, you know, some good ass dancing from that time period will surely bring a smile to your face; but, only if you can appreciate the lyrics, the music, and the artists. I don’t know what you all are doing out there now by way of dancing. But, in my days of cutting the rug, ha-ha-ha, we had a dance for just about every single song that hit the radio waves. So, if you ever just want to stop doing your everyday thang and relax while watching black folks having a good time, here’s your chance. Check out those Afros.

Ancestral Voices: Esoteric African Knowledge
Posted by admin on September 27th, 2011
An educational documentary spanning two continents, opening up a much-needed debate about traditional African spiritual systems; their cosmologies, ideologies and underlying ethical principles. Modern science no longer refutes the origins of mankind being in Africa and similarities in the cosmological ideologies of African esoteric systems with those found many established world religions today, suggest that it was not only people that migrated, but also concepts and themes that then provided bedrock for the formation of other systems of belief. The documentary aims to shed light on a topic shrouded in much mystique, negativity, superstition and ignorance to allow for informed discourses on the subject without fear of persecution or oppression.
Sasha and Melanie Jazz Routine on SYTYCD
Posted by admin on August 18th, 2011
Ladies, meet So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD) Second Place Winner 23-year-old Royal Princess Sasha Mallory of Bakersfield, California. Her dance specialties fall in the categories of Ballet, Jazz, Modern, and Hip-Hop. Sasha began dancing at the age of approximately 5-years. She says most of her on-stage performances are results of improv. If you missed Sasha during her run on the show’s eighth season, then you missed quite a bit. Her versatility dance style is intoxicating. Although she was in the bottom too many times, it wasn’t because of her dancing, it was because most voters preferred others. It’s horrible when someone like Sasha had to depend on bogus phone calls to try and prove her natural skills. Nevertheless, she endured the downfalls bestowed upon her and the audience, week-after-week, saw the energy and determination from this young lady spill out on that stage. We’re posting three of her performances, so please, enjoy.
Doomsday Preppers – National Geographic Channel
Posted by admin on July 31st, 2011
On Monday, August 1, 2011 at 11:00 a.m., the National Geographic Channel will be airing a special entitled: Doomsday-Preppers. Please watch and learn from these people what they are doing to help assist themselves and their families in the event something goes wrong with the current economy. I saw most of the footage some weeks previous, and what fascinated me the most was that a young family was growing Tilapia in their back yard pool, and they would eat the fish every single day. They have hens that provides them with fresh eggs, two goats that provides them with milk, and other things that would sustain them in the time of need. The worst thing that all of these people did was to expose themselves to the media. When people find out that you’re doing something like this and they run out of food or don’t have none to begin with, they’re going to invade your space and possibly kill you in the process. I keep saying, don’t tell nobody nothing. Just do what you need to do for you and your family.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Posted by admin on April 16th, 2011
This would make 43 years since the original Planet of the Apes graced the big screen in Hollywood. Talk about modern technology, from just the trailer’s visual special effects and its intoxicating musical score, I’m certain that the movie theaters are going to be jammed packed come this August 5th. Instead of the apes being dressed in costumes and heavily made up with make-up, they are going to be photo-realistic apes just as the actors were in Avatar. Awesome!
Eddie Simpson – The Fabulous Black Woman
Posted by admin on March 20th, 2011
Several years ago I lost a tremendous amount of hair after, what I believe, was an allergic reaction to toxic ingredients in a product I used in my hair. I went to several professionals and received injections in my scalp for treatment of alopecia, but not one could give me a definite diagnosis or treatment for the severe hair loss. For about 8 or 9 years; I struggled to grow my hair back; and still to this day, my hair grows slower and thinner in the affected areas, although it is not very noticeable to anyone other than myself. Many women may suffer from some form of hair loss throughout their lives, especially a woman over the age of 40. Studies have shown that women in this age group can experience an average of 20% thinning throughout their entire head. (The percentage can be greater if a person had mishandled and chemically altered their hair for long periods of time). Other culprits for hair loss may be heredity, medication, illness or a hair disorders.

Eat Right For Your [Blood] Type
Posted by admin on February 1st, 2011
If you’ve ever wondered why the latest fad diet doesn’t work for you…well, there are lots of reasons, mostly the fact that it’s a fad diet. But it could also be that you’re the wrong blood type for the kinds of foods the diet recommends. Peter D’Adamo makes a persuasive argument that your blood type is an evolutionary marker that tells you which foods you’ll process best, and which will be useless calories. He covers the entire range for each of the four blood types, from entrées to condiments and seasonings, and also makes type-specific exercise and lifestyle recommendations.
Mary Harvey’s Revelation About Steve Harvey
Posted by admin on January 24th, 2011
When you just can’t hold it in any longer, you have to let it out. And, that’s exactly what Mary Harvey did in these newly released YouTube videos. She says she needs closure to the dissolution of a 16 year relationship with comedian, talk show host, and Family Feud host Steve Harvey. That would surely satisfy some of the pain and hostility she obviously still carries in her heart. Mary claims that Steve took custody of their son and turned their son against her, had her evicted from the home they shared as a married couple, did not show up in court for their divorce, etc. Mary gives credit to her family and friends for introducing her to a book entitled Why Do I Have To Think Like A Man? by Shanae Hall and Rhonda Frost. It was after reading this book that gave her the courage and strength to come forth with this shocking revelation.
Woman Finds Her Real Family 23 Years Later
Posted by admin on January 20th, 2011
How can you not love this story’s ending? Carlina White [Nejdra Nance], the 23-year-old who had enough sense to question the inconsistencies in her life to know that things weren’t the way they should have been. She was only 19-days-old when her parents took her to the Harlem hospital due to a high fever. When they went to visit their baby girl, Carlina was no longer there. Instead, a woman portraying as a nurse was alleged to have been the person who took Carlina from the hospital. After seven years of her own research and with the help of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children‘s website, Carlina was finally able to make the biological connection to her real parents, Joy White and Carl Tyson, after 23 long years. They definitely have a lot to talk about, including Carlina’s five-year-old daughter Samani.
Mary Spio – Rocket Scientist
Posted by admin on January 17th, 2011
Ladies, you can now proudly add the face and name of Mary Spio to your list of females who have successfully planted both feet into the world of the once male-dominated electronic engineering and computer science field. This young lady was at one time employed by McDonald’s as a server. Taking and handing out orders was only a temporary position. Her goals in life were much higher, and she proved that by becoming an aerospace engineer at the Boeing Company where she designed, launched, and operated communications satellites. Furthermore, in her possession, she has one of the patents that makes it possible to digitally send movies to theaters, which is done via satellite transmissions. Spio’s technology was used in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones; Ocean’s 11; Planet of the Apes; Spy Kids, and Monsters, Inc., and more.
Treatments for Varicose and Spider Veins
Posted by admin on January 16th, 2011
Even the most perfect-looking legs can have a flaw or two. Upon close examination, you may see the start of something that can literally get out of hand if proper care is not immediately sought. Here you will find different types of methods to treat varicose and spider veins. Not all remedies will work on every leg. But, 
there are options available to those that seek help from the medical world.
Skin Deep – Varicose and spider veins are just another unavoidable part of getting older. According to the National Women’s Health Information Center (NWHIC), about 50 percent of people age fifty and older suffer from some sort of vein problem. They develop when the valves that pump blood back to the heart weaken, allowing blood to pool and, in the case of varicose veins, causing the vein to bulge. Neither condition is life-threatening, but both are still pesky and troublesome conditions.
African American Female Pilots
Posted by admin on January 16th, 2011
Born in Los Angeles in 1994, Kimberly Anyadike never remembers a time in her fifteen years she wasn’t interested in flying. Her passion for aviation began with a 20-minute demo flight at Tomorrow’s Aeronautical Museum, a flight school and youth mentoring center in Compton, CA. Kimberly washed airplanes and did other tasks to earn “museum dollars” that she traded in for flight lessons. Among the mentors available to kids in the program are several Tuskegee Airmen, who Kimberly has been immensely inspired by.
