Don't Mess with my Baby

Are you really gonna slam on somebody's child? Like...really?

First, Tia Mowry-Hardrict received harsh and insignificant feedback on her baby boy, Cree's appearance. Now, her sister is going through the same thing. Tamera Mowry-Housely is receiving flak for her interracial marriage and how "white"baby Aden's skin color is. Seriously? 

Whether you're full of melanin or not, check out your baby photos and take a gander at what color you were at birth. Were you brown? Light brown? Dark brown? White? Pink? Yellow? Blue? Red? You eventually came into your color, right? And who are you calling ugly? Have you seen yourself in the morning, before the face wash, astringent, make-up and whatnot? Are you even aware of your stank face?

These awesome women have some beautifully adorable babies and are no different from any other good parents who want to raise their kids to be respectable individuals. This can be a challenge in this unstable society we live in. Both sisters had some words for their online haters.

Tia said the comments said about Cree were disgusting and that society is too focused on looks. Tamera blogged on the Official Tia and Tamera website that her only job is to be the best mommy for her precious boy and that love knows no boundaries, especially with skin color. 

I agree with them; aren't there some celebrities who adopted kids outside of their race and are still awesome individuals? Why is it wrong now?

Oh yeah, that whole race thing right? Prince was so right in his Dreamer song when he sings, "21st Century, oh what a shame, race still matters? A race to what? Where are we going? We're in the same boat but I'm the only one rowing..."             

I'm gonna tip my hat, give two snaps and a solid moonwalk to these fabulous and fierce women because of their multifaceted eloquence and not letting anything or anyone deter them from success. Tia and Tamera was renewed for another season (just waiting for the DVD release). Tia just released an exercise DVD, and Tamera is a featured blogger for People.

Words hurt; Tamera blogged in her post that the comments were taken personally and her skin wasn't that thick. And rightly so. I don't know where people get off thinking that they can talk blatant ignorance and disrespect something about someone but have the nerve to get upset when someone gives it right back to them.

Think before you speak, comment, tweet, blog, pin and post. Just blogging...

Top 10 Interesting Highlights of my Summer

10) One week before I went to NYC, my mother allowed me to hack away at our tree with a chain saw. The left over wood will be used for seating stumps and shelves we plan to build in our house. 9) I was stressed during the semester that I wouldn't get into any of the 30 internships that I applied for and I was blessed with two of them: Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia for Web Productions and Honey Magazine for writing. Now, I will finish my degree in December!!!! 8) During my lunch hour, I walked 20 blocks around West Chelsea, and lost 15 lbs as a result...I like this :0). 7) I realized that the city is both expensive but awesome for bargains (bought the cutest bag for $10)! 6) Prince was in NYC at the Apollo at the beginning of June with song diva Mariah Carey...how did I miss this????? [Photo courtesy of www.lovebscott.com] 5) Piggy-backing off of highlight number 7, did I really spend $22.50 on a sandwich, chips, green tea and a Boston creme cheesecake? 4) I found myself floating

Another Google Adventure

As I sit here listening to Jennifer Hudson's new album, I'm reflecting on the latest news stories that have been popping up for the last 24 hours via the internet and radio stations. This is what I came up with so far: Legendary Hollywood icon, Elizabeth Taylor, dead at age 79 Elizabeth Taylor's Final Resting Place Water poisonous for Tokyo infants Japan struck by another major earthquake Another Chris Brown thing Another Charlie Sheen thing Ohh, comparing Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen (Breezy brought up a good point, but I digress) Little girl loses leg saving her sister N----r Heaven...? What does baby mama mean? Now, because I choose not to tell you, the free-willed citizen who reads whatever your heart oh so desires, what to do, I'll let you pick out which one of these stories is more important to you. I'll just end this post with words from my sister's status... RIP Liz Taylor but there's still entire families dying in Libya right now... P.S., realizin

Redirecting the Dopeness

As [somewhat] normal human beings, we fight daily battles to preserve our lives as well as our minds. We fight to... maintain spiritual enrichment of the self (and family) express ourselves in a free yet firm form have time away from our quotas, goals, and missions for peace of mind manage the home along with the career  avoid late payments More can be added to this list, but you catch my drift, yes? Ok, moving forward... Mental trauma interjects itself into your plan, beautifully unscheduled. It can range anywhere from mild depression to extreme chaos on the job. Whatever is ensuing personally begins to take an effect on your performance professionally. How so? Let's take a trip back to basics. What is the perceived threat that's affecting how you work? Is it leaking into your office, food intake, and service to your customers or clients (WELCOA Letting Go of Stress). Is this stress tangible or invisible? Is it a temporary feeling of emotional discomfort or an exte
