Sometimes we have to put ourselves on trial, I know I have lately. For what? Wellllll, I have recently come to terms with the fact that a close friend of mine has a drug addiction and has been performing sexual favors in exchange for drugs and money.
I am beyond heartbroken at the reality, but the cracks are quickly being sealed with logical cement.
I’ve spent countless hours strategizing, lecturing, and unfortunately aiding this addicted tortured soul. I haven’t handed this person drugs, pimped them out, or degraded them in any way…but …

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to shoot with Torontonian photographer Lee Guy. I’ve wanted professional photographs of myself for awhile now because the self-portraits and cropped pics weren’t cutting it. I am not the type to just grab my camera go outside and have a friend shoot 100+ frames, I’m usually the one behind the camera or when I do take pics I’m in a group. I thought the shoot would be a breeze, I’d go in Sacha fierce it up for an hour and two and head …

Hi again, so lots going on in this world today boy! I woke up this morning to the news which has turned into nothing more than a listing of natural disasters and a bunch of lies from the government for me. I usually never tune into the news unless I need to know the weather, but as a blogger, writer and high-heel wearing superhero it’s important for me to keep up to date with current events. News recently broke that former Miss Argentina and supermodel Solange Magnano died from complications …

Hey y’all I’m so wore out!!! I just got back from my extra long- travel disaster- but -hectic goodness of a weekend. Because my travel was so, ummmm… “Unpredictable” I got in late and was unmotivated to the point where I almost missed a chance to get up close and personal with Vudz hair products. Nevertheless I uncoiled myself from a slumberous disposition and headed out to Chiggy’s Touch Salon  in Yorkville downtown Toronto, for an evening of cocktails and conversation with Toronto’s hair elite presented in part by Thierry …

So by now hopefully you read the update- Big hair is in. Go big or go home! Many women who attempt to achieve this updated 80’s look are either turning to the aide of hair friendly extensions, hair pieces or just rely on extreme humidity. A few men on this site have expressed their support of the look, while  other men couldn’t care less. I recently watched the film Good Hair. It was interesting to follow Chris Rock’s journey that uncovered the once secret society of black hair. The one …

Supa Nova Slomwas one of the artists featured In Bill Cosby’s Cosnarati, “The State of Emergency”. I came across one of his videos on youtube and instantly subscribed to his channel because I was feeling the message behind the music.  Purify or Die (so sick) is his first release off of his upcoming album The Remedy. Seems like I’ve slept on this multi-talented artist, activist, public speaker, author, and natural healer who has dedicated his life’s work to “Unifying and healing the hood”. Deity, let’s get into the habit of putting …

This season, full, feminine and voluminous hair also known as “Big hair” is making a comeback. This look has been sported on major fashion runways around the world and seen on Hollywood trend setters Tyra Banks, Halle Berry and of course Mrs. Beyonce Knowles-Carter. Unlike our predecessors in the 80s, the revived “big hair” trend calls for a flowing, and more natural looking mane, which is achievable without having to resort to the excessive use of damaging aerosol sprays and hot rollers.
More and more celebrities including supermodel Elle MacPherson rely …

I couldn’t hold off on posting this it disturbed my spirit so bad. I read an article which reports that Egyptian conservatives want a mail order Artificial Virginity Hymen Kit produced in China to be banned from sale in Egypt. A fake hymen? Wow, they sell everything nowadays! They turned one of the most precious things a female could give a man into a product meant to deceive and save face.
Here is the Egyptian Conservatives side of things:
“Egyptian girls are normally afraid to lose their virginity before marriage,” Sayed Askar, …

If you’ve been paying attention to Mother Nature lately you’ll notice that the sun is setting a lot earlier and the mornings are becoming crisp, to the point where you considered slipping on a jacket or that extra thick hoodie. If you live on the west coast or in a place where the climate is warm year round- eff you! So what does this mean? Obviously that fall is coming, wardrobes need updating but often overlooked is that our skin care needs change with cooler weather around the corner.
I’ve been …

Hey everyone I am so wore out! In Toronto we just wrapped up Caribana, the annual parade and festival celebrating Caribbean culture. My hermit behind made sure to go out and enjoy the festivities; in addition here in the Province of Ontario we had a holiday yesterday, even though I somehow found myself at work. I won’t blog about Caribana much because well it’s something you definitely have to experience in person, but I will say this year was one of the best ever.
Through my travels this weekend I came …
