Da Kink In My Hair - A Play by Trey Anthony
Da Kink In My Hair is a play that headlined in Atlanta last weekend. It is based on a book written by award winning playwright, Trey Anthony.

Here we go again folks. Another little child suffers the consequences of wearing her hair natural.

Chloe St. John - The Shih-tzu Puppy That Stole Our Hearts
I did something that I said that I’d never do. Yes, I broke down and got my daughter a dog. I have nothing against dogs but was just never a pet person. I never desired to deal with the care or maintenance of a pet. Not with 4 kids in the house, no way. As a reward to my daughter for excelling in school and fitness in the summer we offered her a choice between a puppy or a cell phone. We didn’t really … Continue reading
