“You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.”

Fierce Female of the Day

Soledad O'Brien

Forty-six year old Soledad O'Brien is one of the most powerful news anchors in the world; not to mention she is a bi-racial woman. In the journalism community, females are not dominate at all. However, O'Brien who is of Irish and Afro-Cuban decent has been dominating the airways for years. The Harvard graduate started off on NBC and worked her way up to CNN's morning news program "Starting Point." She now started her own production company "Starfish Media Group Production Company." Go Soledad! You rock :)

"Dark Girls"

Whether you are dark skinned, light skinned, or in between, you are still Black and beautiful. Skin tone has been a controversial topic in the Black community since slavery days. It was assumed that the lighter you were, the better and prettier you were. On September 24th, 2013, a documentary called "Dark Girls" will come out on DVD exploring the lives of African American females who grew up in a society where their skin color was considered ugly, or not good enough. This is definitely a must see! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/24/dark-girls-documentary-colorism_n_3478913.html

Every little girl wants to believe she's beautiful. But how the world defines beauty can dramatically impact what she sees in the mirror.
