A Little Insight into this FAB BROWN GIRL

First of all. I would like to thank every fabulous person who has given me positive feedback on my new blogging venture. I will try my best to make sure I do y'all proud! I decided to start this blog more so for personal reasons than to gain some type of notoriety or Internet fame. I think that we, as black women, should have this aura within us that screams confidence and empowerment. I am tired of the mainstream culture making brown skin women feel as if we are inadequate and judge us 10 times harder than any other ethnic minority group (i.e. Michelle Obama ). Black women tear each other to pieces and think that they are the "ish" because of all the superficial things that really don't mean anything in the long run. Don't get me wrong I love to have fun (trust me I am a party girl and think every woman should hold their appearance to a certain standard) but I know that that is not EVERYTHING, so I wanted to have an outlet to share some things with you all that might inspire us to hold our heads high because I know it's not easy.


Anywho, I was reading a new blog by some of my friends at TheRoot.com called Their Eyes Were Watching and they had this cute questionnaire to give more insight about who they were and some of the things they enjoyed. Because I loved it so much I decided to "recycle" it and use it for my blog so you can see some of the things I love, like, and can't stand!! Check it out!!


Would you rather watch “I Love New York” or “Flavor of Love”?
