Blac Chyna, Kloe Kardashian & K. Michelle By Brenda Alexander The black woman’s curvaceous booty is nothing new. We all envy that one sis in our family/friend circle for being shaped like a Coca Cola bottle: small waist, nice hips and a plump butt. But what happens when a woman desperately yearns for a shapely figure and the operating table…
Ray J & mom Sonja Norwood By Mwabi Kaira I’ve noticed a trend when it comes to “our” reality shows; mothers of grown black men stay in their business. First there was Mama Jones on Love and Hip Hop New York, who stayed in Jim Jones and Chrissy’s relationship in the first season back in 2011. She didn’t like not…

The Vogue September issue is such a big deal that R.J Cutler made a documentary about it in 2009 and made it a part of pop culture. September is the end…
Kareem Johnson By Brenda Alexander Recently, I highlighted BET’s digital doc-series VIXEN and the backlash Nelly’s “Tip Drill” video received, which featured the infamous credit card swipe down a bountiful model’s backside. The producer of the video, Kareem Johnson, not only shared the article on his Instagram page; but, agreed to an interview to talk about his 24-year career in…

Chicago actress and comedienne, Adrienne Brandyburg is part of the new generation of entertainers…
Nova & Charley of Queen Sugar By Mwabi Kaira My parents gave me two sisters, one older and one younger.

They say girls mature faster than boys and…
