Young Hollywood is FEARLESS, FANCY, and FAB!!



Recently, some of Hollywood's Fabulous Brown Girls all got together to do the cover shoot of a new magazine, FEARLESS. Upon seeing this shot, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to see everything that Fabulous Brown Girl represents (sophistication, sassy, smart and fly) all in one shot!

According to MTV.com, this shoot is the FBG answer to Vanity Fair's Young Hollywood cover which ironically, did not include any one women of color. Last time I checked, Hollywood is not monochromatic and only having one color on your cover is not only disheartening, but totally unacceptable. But it seems Vanity Fair must have missed that memo..Their Bad...

The cover features Tia Mowry, Naturi Naughton, Monique Coleman, Jennifer Freeman, Kyla Pratt, Tiffany Hines, Chyna Layne, and Lauren London.

Kudos to FEARLESS magazine for recognizing that there is void of spotlight our FBG working actress and do their part to uplift them by putting them on their inaugural cover.

Keep up the good work Ladies!

Check out some behind the scenes video of the shoot!

FBG Summer Fun with Mom: Michelle Obama and Sasha




Over the past few days, the FLOTUS and her precious one, Sasha traveled to Spain for a summer vacay!



Don't you love how the Obama's don't shy away of living their lives to the fullest and showing their young daughters the world! It doesn't hurt that they can meet Kings and Queens along the way either! I love how anytime you see Sasha, she seems to always be having fun and enjoying her childhood!

Just a disclaimer: Malia was not on punishment or anything.. lol.. she was actually away at a summer sleep away camp! I am sure she will be having her own time with her Mommy or even her Pops!


We can NOT say it enough!! WE LOVE THE OBAMA'S!!

Savannah Brinson: LeBron Isn't the Only One Who Loves Her!



As the world focuses on LeBron James and his new start in Miami to chase his dream of winning his first championship title, we at FBG can't help but take notice of his girlfirend and mother of his two sons, Savannah Brinson!

She stays behind the scenes for the most part, but we can't help but start to see her as a Fabulous Brown Girl to love! Anyone can see that the love between her and LeBron is strong and he rarely goes anywhere without her... including Miami!We think she screams FBG because of the way she always stays classy and makes FABULOUS statements with her style!



Savannah recently did a feature with FBG friendly magazine Harper's Baazar that did a great job of incorporating her love for her boyfriend LeBron and being the mother to his rambunctious boys.

Check out the interview and video from the photo shoot!

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



My Sweetie - Wale (NIAJA STAND UP!)

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.
