Lauryn Hill Speaks!

As we all know, Lauryn Hill has spent the last couple of weeks on the Rock The Bells Hip Hop Tour. Receiving praises from the masses, Lauryn teases the audience with glimpses of a comeback. Entertainment journalist Toure got a chance to interview her and the interview alone makes me thirsty for new material, but I totally respect her decision to control her own life and destiny for the sake of her sanity and her children. She is a true role model to all those who are musically gifted on how NOT to sell your soul for fame.

Like Solange Knowles says "F-ck the Industry..."

Watch Lauryn now!

Vogue Italia Loves Fabulous Brown Girls with VOGUE BLACK!

When we learned about the Italian Vogue's new website Vogue Black, we were instantly amazed and impressed with what we saw.

The website focuses on everything black, beauty, and fashion. If you remember Vogue Italia are the ones that had the Black Issue that had 4 different covers of very accomplished and successful black models, Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn, Sessilee Lopez, and Liya Kedebe. With a lot of magazines and the entertainment industry as a whole snubbing black women, the fact that the Vogue brand is starting to cater more towards black beauty is great!

We especially love the up-incoming spotlight of British model, Tolula Adeyemi.

We think all Fabulous Brown Girls should be familiar with this website so take a look and add it to your Internet must see!

"YOU'RE HIRED!": Ways to Make Sure They Love You During an Interview!

Hello FBGs! Happy Monday! I was reading an article about careers and interviewing and I ran across a pretty interesting one.

If you are on an interview and you want to make sure they like you and see how FABULOUS you are, try doing these four things and you should feel pretty confident about hearing those magic words -- "You're Hired!"

• Find a way to make them like you! -- This is great advice to those who are naturally not shy person and if you are an introverted person try to break out of that shell! Give them a reason to smile! Make a funny joke, tell a heart warming story, find a common interest/hobby to discuss, or give them a straight up compliment! Getting them to like you before your interview is over is a key way to keep your name at the top!
• Show that you have done you homework! -- When you show them that you have researched the company and care about their mission then you show yourself as a valuable asset ans a strong piece of the business' pie.
• Convey that you care! -- Nobody wants to hire someone who just wants a check. Be genuine in your interview. If you have researched the company don't just list generic facts. Show them that you are really excited about the opportunity because you LOVE the company!
• Talk about your past experience in story form! -- Instead of just spitting facts and statistics (which are great to know, but may sound boring ), share what you have done for your past employer in a story. It becomes more intriguing if your potential employer gets to know you through painting a descriptive story about how you handled a marketing campaign or how you redesigned a website!

So if you follow these tips, not only will you most likely get hired, your interview will seem more like a conversation with positive vibes, and all that nervous edge will go out of the window!

Share your interview tips with us too! We would love to hear them!

Here is Rhianna's Full interview with Diane Sawyer in case you were not able to see it last night on ABC







Chris Brown also spoke with Sway from MTV news and talked about that night, his feelings about doing community service, the men that reached out to him, and how all of this still hurts but he is using it to become a petter person. The full interview is below.







Throwback Video.. Eve "Love is Blind" Great Song and very fitting for women going through anabuse relationship! If you know anyone in a physical, verbal, or emotionally abusive relationship please let them know that LOVE is not supposed to hurt you... that is NOT LOVE. They need to LOVE themselves enough to find the courage to leave.

"LOVE is Blind, and it will take over your mind, what you think is love is TRULY NOT.. You need to EDUCATE AND FIND"... [yourself]"
