If I haven't returned your call/facebook message/text/bberry ping/twiter reply/email, missed your birthday or just been plan MIA, here's why . . .the new ESSENCE.com launched today!!
Take quizzes (and not just because I wrote the first date and Tyler Perry ones;), watch video and view photos!
Got a sexy social network too (friend me;)!
Also, Mo'Nique's October issue is now sale. I loved seeing this issue come together as a special tribute to full-figured women. Watch out for the big girls!!! Her story of surviving sexual abuse touched my heart and she really is a survivor.(changed this text because when I reread seemed like I had been a victim and I am so blessed to have never gone through any thing like that. Sitting around talking to my girls after my Charm Trunk sale a few weeks back it was scary how they said the stats is like 1 in 4 girls. Freaks me out! )
This morning walking in seeing all the news cameras outside to report the fall of Lehman Brothers was surreal. Made me a lot more thankful for a steady gig - and reinforced the importance of getting yo savings up.
Read a really good article by my buddy Courtney on American Prospect on how Palin would set women up not advance us if elected. Things that make you go hmmmm.
Congrats on the new Essence.com community launch. I added it as a link on BAP Living. It is a great site. Kudos to you and the Essence staff! I love the new October issue of Essence. I got it today while waiting for my prescriptions to be filled in CVS. I started reading it and will finish it in a few days. Peace, Ananda
