Gold Effect: A brand purposed to display a cohesive story of energy and legacy by paying homage to ancestors (legacies) who created the blue print to be great “Meisha, how would you like to come with me to a Tony Jackson photo shoot for his clothing line…” Well, hell yes! Oops, I mean heck yes for some of my more conservative subscribers. Forgive me for my excitatory outburst and inability to pull a word from my memory bank of archives that would convey the same amount of enthusiasm and passion. I was just happy when my friend Yasmine invited me. I didn’t even give her a chance to finish her question -- for what? I already knew about THE one and only Gold Effect clothing line. As silly as i
“She has eighty names, thirty addresses. She’s got Medicaid, getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each of her names. Her tax-free cash income is over $150,000... drives a pink Cadillac to cash her welfare checks at the liquor store” - Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th President of the US How do you feel about Reagan’s view of the Welfare Queen? With the use of certain terms like "pink cadillac", do you think he is hinting at a certain race? Like him, there are many that believe this narrative about those that receive government assistance. In their eyes, recipients are people who are too lazy to work or look for a job, deviously sell their benefits for cash, frivolously
“Hey Meish ! So for my first topic suggestion - - I know it's gonna sound crazy but the topic is: asking women about their body count . Men do it all the time and I think it's childish. Why men shouldn't ask women about body count ? : -Psychological reasons such as making a woman feel self conscious -It closes personal doors between you and her (alerts her to build a wall because you may be judgmental in the future). It has Nothing to do with shame. Regardless of 2 bodies or 100 men will try anyway so WHY ASK ?.. And to say "I want to know what I'm getting into" isn't acceptable because what's the cut off number ? I don’t think there is one. Again, they'll still try ! Signed - Don't ask m
Yesterday I took my 6- year old son, Santana, to his first ever boxing lesson. I wouldn’t call myself an overprotective mom --- but… It may be true that… I cried when I first witnessed him hold his breath underwater in our neighborhood swimming pool. He came up for air proud of his accomplishment while I darn near had a panic attack. Okay so I may be guilty of… texting his grandmother a million and one times when he’s in her care just to check in on him. I want to know what he’s doing at 2pm and at 2:30pm. What's the big deal? It’s possible that… I watch him very closely as he plays outside with friends because, hey, anything could happen? Don’t judge me. I doubt I’m the only mom that fre
What a headache! Since you were six you had dreams of being the world’s greatest stand-up comedian…SIX! No one could be the class clown like you were back in Mr. Harrison’s class. You KEEP your friends cracking up. Let’s not forget to mention family reunions -- there are no dull family reunions when you’re in attendance. Hey, what can you say? You're just naturally the funny guy/gal. Over time you worked diligently to actually develop your craft by creating your own scripts, branding yourself through social media, and establishing a fan base. No one could deny your innate talents. So what’s the problem? -- Now you think someone else is trying to steal your shine. In fact, that someone want
