For Colored Girls When Hair Typing Isn’t Enough - The Straight Outta Compton Casting Call
If you are a natural girl then you are probably more than familiar with Andre Walker’s Hair Typing System. This system was devised as a way to distinguish the different natural hair types that exists on the Black woman’s head.

Juneteenth - Atlanta Parade & Music Festival 2014

This event happened in the park behind the Shrine of The Black Madonna Bookstore here in Atlanta on June 21st - 22nd weekend. It was two days of cultural celebration, unity, … Continue reading

Jimi: All is By My Side ~ starring Andre “3000” Benjamin
Jimi: All is By My Side ~ starring Andre “3000” Benjamin I am a huge, huge fan of Outkast and specifically of Andre 3000. The Love Below is STILL in heavy rotation on my MP3 as is Stankonia and Aquemini. I think he is a brilliant artist and a very talented actor. I enjoyed him in Idlewild (2006) and also as Mark Wahlberg’s brother in Four Brothers (2005). In this biopic on the legendary Jimi Hendrix, Jimi: All is By My Side, he will play … Continue reading
