NIKE'S New Ad: What Are Your Thoughts?

What are your thoughts on this new NIKE Women ad?

Wale - Ambitious Girl

Ambitious Girl Your Drive Drives Me Crazy...

Yesterday Wale released a special spoken word/poem track called "Ambitious Girl". I don't care what anyone says, Wale wrote this piece for us Fabulous Brown Girls.

He is basically saying that he finds women who handle their business and have crazy drive sexy!

You Would Rather Chase Your Dreams Than Chase These Men...

Wale is definitely a favorite here at Fabulous Brown Girl and we do not see that changing anytime soon. His flow is fresh and his lyrics really talk about something. If you are not familiar with him... don't worry.. check out some of out favorite tracks from his first album. We can't wait until his mixtape drops next week.

Beautiful Bliss - Wale



Shades - Wale



Pretty Girls - Wale

Lauryn Hill Unreleased Track: Repercussions

Have our prayers answered? Is Fabulous Brown Girl, Lauryn Hill, really releasing new music? By the looks of it, she is.

After hearing on YouTube "Repercussions", I was immediately smitten by Lauryn all over again.

Not really sure if this song is newly recorded or just an unrelased track made during her recording prime, but when ever the track was made it just further increased our favor and excitement for her hopeful return.

Check out her new track! I have been playing this melodic track on REPEAT for a while now.

In the Beginning There Was... Genesis

After "stumbling on" this story, we just had to share it with you on our own blog.

Fabulous Brown Girl Brittany K Earls, Founder of Genesis Magazine, was featured in Under 30 CEO. She founded her now popular magazine after following her passion of journalism and not landing the job she wanted. She decided that in order to land her dream job she had to create it!

Many women of her caliber are dreaming of starting their own company. Whether it be a magazine, a boutique, a clothing line, or a consulting firm, we as Fabulous Brown Girls have to take our passion and future into our own hands.

Check out Brittany K Earls interview from www.under30ceo.com and get inspired like we were to continue to keep pushing! Always remember every great entrepreneur started off with a small idea that they nurtured in order to capture their dream!

No matter what others say, what is meant for you is definitely ALREADY yours.

Brandy... Is That You?!!?

After picking our jaw up from the floor, we definitely want to give a loud SHOUT OUT to Brandy for this beautiful and artistic photo shoot she did for 160 magazine. It is obvious that Brandy is revamping her image and trying to make a strong and sexy comeback.

Brandy, who normally has a girl next door vibe thats nothing-too-fancy, is now coming out full blast with sexy styling and uber glamorous looks. It looks like RayJ and the rest or the Norwoods are not playing games about this Family Business taking off.

We remember jamming to "I Wanna Be Down" and rocking those braids down our back trying our best to be just like Brandy during the 90s! She was our first FBG that we looked up to and now, in her early 30s, Brandy wants us to know she is still here.

We don't know if we are looking at Brandy or her alter-ego "Bran Nu" , but whom ever it is we love this Fabulous Brown Girl!! We are glad to see Brandy reinventing herself and coming back more FABULOUS than ever!!

Check out the rest of the hot looks below!

STAY FAB!

It's Never Too Late: Mary J Blige Declares Howard University is her #1 Choice

So I am sure by now many of you have heard that multi platinum artist, Mary J Blige has announced that she is going to attend Howard University this upcoming school year.

Well I must say, I am not suprised that this Fabulous Brown Girl wants to join the scholarly ranks as many notable blacks have already done by obtaining a degree from Howard University!

She did meet Sean Combs aka Diddy shortly after he left Howard and joined Uptown Records!

Mary J is not afraid and knows it is never too late to gain a formal education. If this is something that she wants then we commend Ms. Mary for wanting to continue her education at one of the best institutions of higher learning on the planet ;-)

Here is Mary making her announcement on Good Morning America.

However, even though Mary J made her announcement, Howard University recently released a statement about Mary future educational plans. It seems like Howard has not officially accepted her, and if she is serious about entering as a traditional student, they are willing to help her with a successful application process.

'Without question, Ms. Mary J. Blige's resilience and dedication to her craft are largely unmatched. Howard University congratulates Ms. Blige on the recent completion of her high school requirements. We encourage Ms. Blige to continue her studies and welcome her consideration of Howard University in the future. We are happy to work with Ms. Blige on completing the formal process for admission.'

Well let's hope her application process goes a little smoother than many of ours did!

Regardless if Mary J Blige attends Howard University or not, we salute our fellow FBG for recognizing my alma mater as her top choice and wanting to further her education with a college degree!

She is setting the example that even though she may have all the success she could have ever dreamed of with her signing career, none of it has fulfilled her thirst for knowledge and receiving a formal education. I would even go as far as to say that she probably looks at Howard University students and wants to have the experience we were blessed to have-- while we look at her and dream of having her life.

Like I always say, the grass is always greener on the other side!

Note: Just want to take the time out really quickly to thank all of the FABULOUS BROWN GIRLS out there for continuing to check out the blog! Our sincerest apologies for not blogging as often as I would like! We know there are so many FABULOUS and great things happening and we will try to cover and talk about them more often.

Stay Fab!
