About Me:
I'm a walking, talking, living, breathing, beautiful contradiction; I'm kind and mean, goofy and serious, intelligent and ignorant--we are all ignorant of something or another, I just make it my goal to gradually decrease my ignorance with each passing day. All in all, I'm just a young black woman in pursuit of truth, black unity and uplift, self discovery and improvement, my purpose in life, and a closer relationship with God. And I'm looking forward to meeting like-minded individuals on this wonderful site, so feel free to stop by anytime.

Okay, I hear you Jess! The playlist is impressive. I gotta step my game up. (^o^)

I just noticed that you have one of my newest favorite songs- Misunderstood! That Nina Simone sample just set it off, right? Comm provides more poignant social commentary through his lyrics. Man, I love that joint!

Soulgen Currents

Corinne Bailey Rae: The Sea

Anyone who’s been through a serious loss knows about the baffling part: After it’s over, you are still you. You are you, plus the loss, plus the pain and confusion the loss causes. The process of healing isn’t really a matter of “getting over it” — taking it in is what’s necessary, incorporating what’s been [...]

Maxwell: BLACKsummers’ Night

The best way to listen to Maxwell’s new “BLACKsummers’ Night” is with the volume turned all the way up. The R&B artist didn’t take a turn toward heavy metal during the eight years he’s spent between releasing albums; this one, like his previous three, is full of meditative jams written on the continuum between ardor [...]

Laura Izibor: Let The Truth Be Told

The Irish diva is soon to go global via her debut album on Atlantic. This album from the young Dubliner was set to be released on Jive Records three years ago, but got shelved. Then, another label, Atlantic, took their time in deciding just when it should see be released. “Let The Truth Be Told” [...]

The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes

I believe that children our our future. Most people think Whitney Houston penned the lyrics to the timeless hit “The Greatest Love of All,” or that Randy Watson was the genius behind the words when he led the wildly-famous soul band “Sexual Chocolate.” Actually, the song was originally recorded by George Benson in 1977 for the [...]

Van Jones: Environmental justice is the movement to ensure that no community suffers disproportionate environmental burdens or [...]

Outkast To Deliver Two Solo Albums And A Group Effort in 2009!

Outkast To Deliver Two Solo Albums And Another Group Effort in 2009. ‘Y’all gonna get three records from the ‘Kast next year,’ Big Boi says.

K’Naan: Straight Outta Mogadishu

Straight Outta Mogadishu Somali-born rapper K’naan on African pirates and the world’s hardest ghetto. —By Eamon Kircher-Allen for Mother Jones K’naan’s music sounds a little like Eminem’s, if Slim Shady had spent his childhood dodging bullets in Somalia’s civil war. The 30-year-old hip-hop artist (born Kaynaan Warsame) grew up on the mean streets of Mogadishu and escaped in [...]

“I Want Michelle Obama Arms!”

She’s Pumped. Your Turn. By LIZ ROBBINS THE arms have taken on a life of their own. They have provoked controversy, envy, a bit of backlash, even bad puns about the right to bare them. But enough debate and deconstruction. Now women are talking about construction. “I want Michelle Obama arms,” Julie Eich told her trainer on the [...]

Why Biofuels Are the Rainforest’s Worst Enemy

Why Biofuels Are the Rainforest’s Worst Enemy. By Heather Rogers Nestled deep in the tropical rainforest on the island of Borneo, Pareh is a collection of about 60 weathered wooden houses perched on stilts and enfolded by coconut palms, banana trees, and the dappled green overhang of the towering forest. Pareh’s inhabitants belong to the indigenous tribes [...]
