Some of you may have seen Jenee Desmond Harris’ piece in the Root last week. In it, she says that perhaps Black women can learn from Michelle Obama by letting go of our shallow “requirements”: a college degree (or two), a house, a “good” job (think Capitol Hill or a Consulting firm), and yes, “swagger.” [...]
Sonia Sotomayor named to the US Supreme Court
Posted by: elledub08 on: May 27, 2009
Most of you by now have heard about this story, but I can’t tell you how excited and happy that a woman of color has been nominated for the supreme court. I am intentional with saying woman of color and not just Latina. I think Liza Sabater from Culture Kitchen said it best:
Sonia Sotomayor considers [...]

This commercial was so funny and clever. And so was the back story.

Michelle Bernard: Lily Ledbetter act meaningless
Posted by: elledub08 on: February 1, 2009
Dear Michelle Bernard:
I applaud you for being a Black woman pundit. There are so few of us doing what you do, so I can respect your gangsta to an extent.

elledub goes gawking at the alfalfa club dinner
Posted by: elledub08 on: February 1, 2009
Nerdette over at NotMyGal convinced me to spend my Saturday night watching the arrivals to the Alfalfa Club Dinner, a dinner honoring the legacy of Robert E. Lee (yes…I’m talking about this guy). Governor Sarah Palin was in attendance and so was President Barack Obama. We were there to see Gov. Palin arrive to the [...]
The American Dream
Posted by: elledub08 on: January 23, 2009
On this past Tuesday, I was able to witness the swearing in of our 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama. It was awe-inspiring, it was emotional, and it was a blessing to be a part of history.
I don’t know what more I can say that hasn’t already been said. When I saw Michelle Obama walk through [...]
Our President Elect was a Very Fly College Freshman.

After seeing Lisa Jack’s Pictures of Obama during his college years, I feel like I know him more.
He was certainly very fly and too cool for school back then.
Satirical Journalism: HuffPo, do better
Posted by: elledub08 on: November 25, 2008
So I just recently saw the following throught Yahoo! News via HuffPo and I almost spit out my Green Tea Ginger Ale (yum):
President-Elect Barack Obama’s transition team is reported to be deeply divided over whether to offer a post to Monica Lewinsky, the former White House Intern whose intimate relationship with President Bill Clinton led [...]

Two days ago, we elected our first Black President. Here is a roundup of what Black folks are saying around the Blogosphere:
Average Bro gives some random thoughts the day after the election, including why all Barack would have to do is do a good job and it would be better for Black people.

President Obama.

I’m not even sure where to begin or even if I should be writing.
I’m still at a lost for words. I held it in all day. Unlike some people, like Rosetta had mentioned, were crying at the polls, I didn’t feel that way at all. Yes, it surreal. Yes, I felt proud. But I [...]
