People all over the world are analyzing the amazing, perverse and strange legacy of Michael Jackson—and the changes in his appearance over the years are among the many (many, many) topics to discuss. Although born a black male, at the end of his life, he appeared to be closer to a white woman. ... Comment - Like

Michael Pollan’s books have opened my eyes to a whole new way of thinking about food, eating and nutrition, but in today’s NY Times magazine, he makes some really good points about the explosion of TV cooking shows… compared to how little time we actually spend cooking anymore. My favorite q... Comment - Like

This morning a friend who knows of my interests sent me a link to an msnbc.com story with the title "Marriage eludes high-achieving black women". "Duh", she wrote in her commentary. And she's right: this isn't news to me or many of the other 1.8 million black women who find themselves successful... Comment - Like

I spent an hour or so yesterday completing the forms necessary for my family to travel on our Mediterranean cruise next week. The cruise line asks that you send in your passport information--- as well as certain details like your travel plans, your emergency contact and of course, your credit ca... Comment - Like

When it came time to spend the money we'd been setting aside for the past year, my husband and I had a bit of a disagreement. I wanted a kitchen remodel-- you know, new cabinets and granite countertops. Something I would use every day. He wanted to sail the Mediterranean-- the kind of thing you do... Comment - Like

I know, I know. You’re sick of hearing about it. About how many black women are unhappily single. About how many have never been married. About attractive, successful sisters who haven’t found their “special someone.”
You might be one of those lonely sisters. On Valentine’s D... Comment - Like

By now you’ve heard all about John Mayer’s unfortunate remarks in his Playboy interview. What he said about sex with Jessica Simpson was unnecessary and embarrassing—for both her and us, and throughout the interview he revealed himself to be deluded about his own “cool points” with Afr...

A real loss in the world of letters. This New York Times obituary summarizes her life and work better than I could:

I went to the RCTA dinner last weekend in the hopes of meeting the President, but I didn't get the chance. My husband stayed at home with our daughters--partly because he hates having to put on a tuxedo and partly because he votes on the other side of America's political divide and expected the even...
