Tips to stay focused #1: Set daily and weekly priorities:
If you want to stay focused on your goals it is necessary to set priorities among your daily to-do-list from: “Very Urgent & Important” to “Not Urgent & Not Important”. This allows you to 1) safe timeand to 2) keep being focused on the tasks that are really important throughout your day. This easy to use but very effective prioritizing system should definitely be considered if you aim to stay focused on your goals and objectives.

Tips to stay focused #2 Motivational patterns
The motivational sources that have helped others to stay motivated have the high potential to let you stay focused and motivated as well. Try to find a mentor or role models that are living the lifestyle you desire to create. Every one of them has established patterns that have the potential to work for you as well. You don´t even necessarily need a mentor to find positive role models since you can also find them in books and movies.

Tips to stay focused #3 Organizing
The organizing of tasks allows you to reach a maximum of efficiency in your daily life. Try to keep a clear focus with a well-organized system in order to organize your professional and personal life.

The Age Old Debate: Light Skin/ Dark Skin (Will we ever move past this)

Leave a comment
Just stumbled on the age old light skin/ dark skin debate. When I was growing up I noticed boys that always flocked to the light girl and the girls did the same (Many still do) But that doesnt make me feel any less beautiful. The man God had for me loves my brown skin, but I first had to love myself.

My mother always told me I was beautiful and she told me why she believed I was beautiful. I’m a pretty carefree person any way but I do believe this helped me build a resistence to negativity. If my mom whom I believed was gorgeous said I was beautiful than there is no one in the world that can tell me different.

It’s important to assure our children of their talents, beauty, charisma, gifts or whatever. They need to know from us 1st (parents)

Girl talk: Preg girls I know its hot and you’re irritated but this is not an excuse to look CRAZY please do your hair and wear a shirt that covers the whole belly.

So many FLY mama’s at the BET Awards 2012!! If you thought it was hard to be an amazing mom and look like a fierce vixen you were wrong.

LaLa Anthony, Beyonce, Solange, Brandy, Monica, Faith Evans and did you see Chaka Chan? These women looked beautiful with no effort.

They are living proof that it’s not easy having it all but they don’t appear to be trading it for the simple life any time soon.

THAT’S THAT ISH I DON’T LIKE: WHY I CAN’T STAND WHEN PARENTS TALK TO KIDS LIKE ADULTS

June 27th, 2012 – By Clarke Gail Baines

As I made my way down the street today,with a lot on my mind as I headed to a doctor’s appointment, I found myself stopped at one of the many lights that separate me from my train station. While waiting, thinking that I should have checked the weather before I hit the streets in tight black jeans, I heard a mother say the following to one of the two children she was trying to give orders to. I guess he might have been calling himself having an attitude:
“Unfold your damn arms! I don’t know why the f**k you be actin’ like yo a** don’t know how to listen.”
…When I was young, most parents didn’t embarrass their children like that when at home, let alone curse them out like they stole something on the streets. They might put a finger in your face or put some bass in their voice in public, but you got yourself together just in time before they let you know you were going to get tore up when you both got home. In fact, my mother could make me feel just as guilty and bad by simply giving me the “Girl, you had better stop unless you want to see my belt when we get home” face or letting me know that she was truly disappointed in my behavior. But these days, people are talking uglier to their kids, referring to them as even uglier names and just can’t discipline them without calling them something you can find in Urban rather than Webster’s Dictionary.
Not only was this woman’s statement to the little boy embarrassing as people watched him get berated on the street, but it was unnecessarily harsh. I know that children can often be a hardheaded pain, but it always makes me cringe when I hear an adult curse like a sailor at a child who will most likely soak in that language and use it on someone else; Whether that be a classmate or a teacher who gets called everything but a child of God because they tried to keep them in check. People underestimate how much their outbursts or explicit conversations with other adults around their children can influence the language kids use with others. And sadly, using strong and unacceptable language to address children has become all too common.

Are we teaching our Daughter’s to be BAD Bitches

Leave a comment

I’ve sang my fair share of Bad Bitch athems. Listening to the radio and all I hear on black stations are stripper songs by every rapper out that say they want a bad bitch with a nice butt, long hair and now she needs to be independent. Lupe Fiasco’s “Bitch Bad” tells a story of how our young men grow up to degrade “Bad Bitches” and how our young girls learn to embrace it. You may think those songs are just songs and video’s but when children have nothing to compare and contrast the images with, we create Bad Bitches and The Men that Disrespect Them. Message!!!!

Black Folks Money is Good Enough to Take but Not Good Enough to Target

Leave a comment



Isn’t this a slap in the face. I don’t know any other race that spends and creates trends like the black consumer but the media outlets we frequent are being over looked by major brands. 


Why? If we’re going to buy it anyway than why waste the money  advertising to us. Black folks want to keep up with the Jones’s or the Carter’s should I say. Are we too trendy to advertise to? 


Psychology of Luxury Brands on African Americans.


Networks thrive off of advertising. When advertisers refuse to look at the networks target market as a credible source of income it creates financial strain for the network. In other words brands are cool with us buying their products as long as the world doesn’t know about it.

On Monday, BET Networks, Black Enterprise, Johnson Publishing (the publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines), the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters and others will join with media-buying agencies to introduce a campaign intended to educate advertisers about the importance of black media and its increasingly deep-pocketed audience.


Called #InTheBlack (using the Twitter hash tag), the campaign will begin with print advertisements in major newspapers (including The New York Times) and trade magazines like Broadcasting & Cable and Adweek. It will expand to a long-term joint effort that includes social media and direct outreach to marketers.
