A Mother's Day Poem for our favorite girl

Her Truth 
By: AstridRaww 

A mother’s love 
we’ve heard that poem
A mother’s touch 
we could go on and on
But our mother’s pain 
there is no song
As a ringing in the ears 
of time gone
Throughout her years
Her silent dreams
and hidden tears
has passed through us
Through Intelligent design 
to clear the dust 
of generational hurt and mistrust 
The silence speaks but it’s a must
If we don’t speak to that 
we don’t speak of her love
The love she exudes outside of her pain
or the one that she hides because of her shame 
The promises she kept despite the obstacles 
The ones that she didn’t because of the load
Which ever way we’ve grown to know 
our mother’s to this day
It means that much more her love 
we found through her pain.

Ladies, Make Him Act Right! (From a man's perspective)

So ladies, we have a tendency to get advice from women about MEN far more than we should. So I have a special treat today.

So some of his language may be a bit harder than you're used to but.. you will not be disappointed. Capt SistaGurl Out!  Introducing Tikko Brohey  Ladies do you feel like “dudes ain’t shit” or “dudes don’t act right?” Have you ever thought about the things you do that contribute to that? The answer is probably not.  Now granted there are dudes out there who just ain’t shit, and that’s just what it is. Majority of men are good men. But his partner can often determine just how good he'll actually be. Every woman deserves to be treated like a queen, as every man deserves to be treated like a king. The disconnect comes from when there’s an argument all the King and Queen shit is out the

Fellas Pregame Your Online Dating Profile: Advice from your future bae

By Rapmusiq So I’ve been in these internet dating streets for a few years now and I thought I’d do my future Boo a solid and give him the tips on how to snag a certified Queen ;).

The Church is Failing: The Young Black Male

This is a taboo subject. That I’ve thought about quite a bit but never had the courage to really vocalize. Courage and fear are funny things because one of them is just as strong as the other, it’s just a question of which one you choose to live in. So today, I choose to live within a courageous light. Why, being a black woman, and an active christian would I have a fear vocalizing my opinion on how black men have been failed by the church? Messages are often misconstrued based on the perception of the reader. Additionally, it’s best practice to NOT add any fire to the flame of those that question institutionalized religion. However, in this case, I think I’d like to get this out with the hopes that some black man, within a particular age, will utilize this post as a reason to do better in reaching young black men. There was a time when the core of the civil rights movement was centered around black men and women within religious faiths. They actively worked together,
