If you’re wondering where I’ve been for the past few days, I’ve been around, but nursing my wounds. Last week, (remember when I was accosted?), I still had pain in my leg. I finally made it to my physician. Y’all know I’m a diabetic , right? Ten days had passed and the pain was excrutiating. [...]

Everyone that knows me is aware that I have four daughters and four granddaughters. With two of my daughters, they live out of state and so those grands that are with them, I don’t get to see as often as I’d like. My daughter that lives here, CeLeste, lives fifteen minutes away. My dearest CeLeste. [...]

When grandpa came home, she greeted him by raising her dress and showing off the clean underwear that she’d had on all day. He asked her who helped her with those and she looked over at me, and said “Gamma”.

After calling my physicist brother in law to be walked through the set up, I finally gave up and having my daughter’s beau do the installation. My daughter was adamant that there would be no converter box in her room. She made a sign “NO SPY ZONE” and pasted it on her door.

If you don’t think the absolute best of yourself, there is no way that others will think the best of you. Even though I have been a victim of peer pressure and suffered the effects of low self-esteem, I still managed to pull myself up enough to hear my mother and grandmother’s words: Never allow someone to be your [...]

I am a mother, a grandmother, a little old Southern black lady. The only difference with me (aside from being phenomenally attractive and drop dead gorgeous) is that I happen to don a scarf when I leave my house. I’m not trying to flaunt my Islam, I’m just trying to practice/live my faith and adhere to my First Amendment constitutionally proctected religious freedom.

Please spare us your moral discourse, your false outrage. You’re an heiress. Your husband second bested Carol as soon as he could with you. It was much better for you when you stayed in the background, imitating the Barbie-doll Stepford wife. There isn’t enough time in the day or words to describe how incredibly different your life is from the rest of us.

It feels like the unknown “they” are trying to break us, to mold us, to force assimilation. I’m sorry we don’t fit the mold. Perhaps it’s the mold that needs to be broken, not us.

Time flies when there is a war going on. I spent September 11th this year, mourning Warith Deen Muhammad one of the first true African American Islamic leaders. He was responsible for bringing something close to true Islam to African Americans and others all over the country. It is appropriate, that now that Imam WD [...]
