It saddens me and embarrasses me when I walk into a bookstore and I pass by TONS of 'Hisha Gets Hooded,' 'Party Trick,' on the bookshelves and labeled 'black literature.' Me personally, I don't own that mess and yes, I would love to see more positive black fiction. I will be looking for your work and I will support you!

Thanksgiving was just a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe that despite the effort many put into preparing feasts, those who enjoyed the feasts forgot all about it 2 days later! Folks were acting like leftovers were too good for them! This got me to thinking, the pressure (external and internal) we feel to 'measure up', the fear of not being accepted and the fear of others being angry with us for not making Thanksgiving and Christmas our primary focus is not worth it!!! We really need to get back to the basics of the holidays and they include praises to God for allowing us to be here to witness another year and thankfulness for what we have and who we are.  less

I was brought up to believe that 'telling your testimony may benefit someone else, so SHARE!' I don't believe this is necessarily true of false, but when you share, your heart needs to be prepared for the ridicule. It all boils down to wisdom and I don't think it's always wise to tell so much personal info.

As a single woman myself, I just want to say you are NOT picky. I think that we (black women) have been programmed to say this about ourselves because when we explain what we desire in a mate, others counteract it by saying 'YOU ARE TOO PICKY!' Isn't strange though that no one tells the men they are being too picky or they're unrealistic in their desires for a mate.

It's so easy to get intertwined with having success because from what it seems, the world is drawn to you;however, time and time again when one loses the success, the world that was once in their corner is no more. Many times those people who experience this sink into deep depressions and in extreme cases, in their lives. While we see this trend, we think 'that won't happen to me!' and many of us still strive for the same success. Your post has really added to what I was already thinking. I am trying to start a business and all around me I see others exceeding me. It sometimes makes me think I must be doing something wrong because I am not on their level. It stirs up doubt, confusion, frustration, envy- all the emotions the Bible says that we must denounce. I then realize I am just fine and my true success is 'trusting in the Lord with all my heart and leaning not to my own understanding.'  less

I am in the medical field and I TOTALLY understand your apprehension about taking medications. I have been so resistant with certain medications that doctor's have prescribed for me because I know the long term complications that could arise from them. As with the Naprelan, it's an NSAID, and is basically Naproxen, something you can get over the counter. Unless you already have heart issues, taking it temporarily to relieve the pain is beneficial. As anti medicine as I am, when I have pain (mainly cramps), I reach for the Naproxen, but I make sure I limit it to two days a month. The problem arises when one is on these (any) medications chronically.  less

What about African, Caribbean, Latin and Afro-European literature? Our experiences will be always be limited if we take on the attitude of, nothing exists beyond our shores. Africans all over the world have so much to learn from and teach to, one another. First we'll have to acknowledge that we all fall under the category of Africans and we have to accept our family on the continent and the rest of the world and they'll have to accept us. There is an amazing amount of art being created all the time by US but if WE don't recognize it then we're losing our legacy. We all have to make more effort to develop ways to exchange and promote African arts among our fellow Africans and the rest of the world if we want to see our artists gain the recognition that they deserve.  less
