I think we all can agree that what the Black American community needs more than ever right now is to be more attentive to our finances. It’s safe to say that we do have access to financial education, but our inner-city communities are not focused on how to progress...
I had a long talk with a friend a few nights ago and learned so much about her. Even though we’d known each other for about 10 years, we’ve never really shared on a deeper level. During the conversation, I cried silently to make sure that she still felt comfortable...
Are you a zodiac freak? The type of person to preface every excuse with “well I’m a/an [insert zodiac sign] so that’s why I’m like this”? Or do you automatically judge someone else based off their sign? I do, not really but sometimes. The zodiac is basically a made-up...
