By Keesha B. Last week I attended Black Enterprise magazine’s “Women of Power Summit.” In a word, it was fantastic. It’s definitely one of those conferences that you get out of it what you put into it. So I put myself into it and came away with nine reasons you too should attend this conference next year: 1. The Sisterhood – There’s something special about a group of educated, professional women taking over The Ritz Carlton and pressing pause on [...]

It’s Galentine’s Day (shout out to NBC’s Parks & Recreation for coining the phrase in their 2nd season)! So that means whether you’re hitched and planning something wonderful [...]

By Chiquita Lockley As I sit here today, finally free of the elephantile weight I carried for too many years, I know exactly how a cleaned-up crack addict must feel on the anniversary of new life.
