Wildin’ at WAM!

This weekend I had the privilege of attending the Women Action and the Media Conference sponsored by the Center for New Words in Boston. It was a great opportunity to hear about feminism from a global perspective, but more importantly, I just loved hearing the voices of some of my fellow women of color activists, [...]

Remember, Remember the Fourth of November: Black Blogger Roundup

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 [...]

Great ad from the Obama Camp. Also, Jack and Jill Politics is reporting that Obama’s 30-minute infomercial will air tonight at 8pm on NBC, CBS, Fox, Univision, MSNBC, BET and TV One.

Girls to Sarah Palin: don’t undo what our mothers and grandmothers fought for.

Stab me in the eye: Topless Bust of Michelle O.

folks, I’m speechless. The controversial topless bust of Barack Obama’s wife Michelle Obama was unveiled to the public in New York yesterday. On his website, Edwards describes the artwork as, “an accessorized mannequin bust of Obama that foregoes the conventional pearl necklace, and provides for her a ‘signature look’ to take to Washington. “The goal [...]
