  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

You’re Beautiful, Woman! Wins a gold medal for ethnic beauty!


 

Just one day after the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing; 8 Beautiful women came together on the 9th August 2008 to organise a wonderful event celebrating black women’s beauty in all its forms.  From Black Hair care to foot care, from spiritual well being to fashion this event held at The Imperial War Museum was a huge success.

 

With a diverse business background the self-proclaimed Dream Team were able to organise this superb event with so much positivity and grace that people are already asking when the next event will be!

 

Some of the feedback on the date:

Just wanted to say thank-you for organising such a nice event yesterday. It was very informative and fun. I look forward to the next event.
 
Kind Regards,
A

Thank you for what was a most inspiring and enlightening event on Saturday.  The Seminars were well organized and apart from the technical hiccup went very well.  I attended all seminars apart from the Health & Fitness by Lorna (due to my enjoying a wonderful facial) and I got a lot from each and everyone.  From Vivienne's make-up session, Angie's enlightening info on hair to Hannah's inspiring talk, both my friends and I had everyone one of our objective boxes ticked.  My 'Sisters' came for 'confidence boost' and 'next step' inspiration for radical career moves and they got it.  We met some lovely people during the networking sessions which we will follow up on.

It is clear that a lot of hard work went into this event and only the good Lord knows how you managed to bag such a wonderful venue as the Imperial War Museum.

With best wishes,

M
