What Happened to Desiree Rogers?



So currently there is BIG buzz around Desiree Roger's, Social Secretary to the Obama administration, announcement of resignation.

Rogers made the announcement last Friday after much scrutiny and backlash from the couple who successfully crashed the State Dinner back in November of last year.

We are shocked and disappointed at the news of her resignation because she was one of the women along with First Lady, Michelle Obama, in the White House that exemplified what a Fabulous Brown Girl is..

Many have criticized her saying that because she was brought in only because she was a close friend to the Obama's and that she got caught up in the instant fame she received and didn't take the president's safety as serious as she should have.

Even though the president's safety is of utmost concern, we don't think that the dinner party crashing warranted Roger's early departure.

Politics, as we know is a nasty game and we know that there is always more to a story when someone resigns prematurely from an awesome position. People are always ready to bring you down and watch you fall, but never let that deter you from your dreams. And make sure you use everything major that happens to you as a lesson learned.

We are sad to see her leave, but we know Ms. Rogers is a very smart and determined woman and she will have offers coming from several other places, and we still plan on following her career.


What do you all think about Desiree Rogers resignation?

Welcome to Fabulous Brown Girl


What is a FABULOUS BROWN GIRL?


She is a woman of color who knows that being fabulous means so much more than shopping, clubbing, and being stalked by every man (single or taken) in the street. She knows that truly being fabulous means doing more than the average women. She is confident, sassy, socially aware, opinionated, and philanthropic. She wants to be financially literate and eco-friendly all while stopping traffic and hitting up upscale social and networking events. This blog will cover a lot of different issues that I feel are important for a young, urban, professional woman like myself.


  • Career Development

  • Social Awareness

  • Women Empowerment/Motivational Affirmations

  • Urban Celebrities

  • Financial Literacy

  • Eco-Friendliness/ Going "GREEN"

  • Philanthropy/ NON Profit/ Charities

  • Beauty/ Hair Tips and Tricks

  • Being FAB on an entry-level budget

  • ... and much more

I will post to this blog as often as I can to share interesting links and videos to keep everyone up to date with current events as well as offer encouraging words to make sure we are striving to be as "fabulous" as we can.



The FABULOUS BROWN GIRL revolution will not be televised so stay locked in to get it all!!
