    Introducing The Adventures Of Lil Chocolate Brown From H-Town

    May 17, 2022 /

To be honest, I am from the burbs of Houston, but like most folks born here, If you would ever ask me, I would tell you I am from Houston rather than explain where I was born.

    October 31, 2013 /

    Earlier this month I had my first visit to my new local gynecologist, and I am almost ashamed to say it… It was also my first visit ever to one.  I am now a month away from turning 35 and married.  As an African American female that has been surrounded by family members that have worked in the Health Care industry my entire life; including some of my aunts, cousins my grandmother and even my mother the fact it took me so long to go is offensive. My oldest best friend is even a doctor! However, I am woman enough to admit my truth.  I corrected the error and made…

Add us to equations but they’ll never make us equal. She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel. So why ain’t the stealing of my rights made illegal?

    Bag Shopping!!! At the Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Market

    March 6, 2011 /

    May 30, 2010 /

    He Treats Her Like a Lady / / Chapter 1  // She sits and stares pondering how she could had forgotten how it felt to be treated as she should, like a lady only after so short of a time.  He asks her if she is ok, because her face had contorted while she was lost in thought.   She tells him she is fine.  Her mind had only wandered away for a moment. She stares down at her left ring finger again and then into his eyes and smiles.  Inwardly thanking God for loving her so much to bring him back into her life.  And now he has pledged himself…
