As you know Tyler Perry recently came out with a new movie entitled For Colored Girls

I have yet to see the film but after hearing the soundtrack I am anxiously awaiting the chance for me to see it. The music is sooo inspirational for all people.

Today I watched a video of a song from the soundtrack entitled FOUR WOMEN and it made me think of all the STRONG BLACK WOMEN in my life and I wanted to do a special post for all my SBW's out there.

This song is sooo deep, ive listented to it about 5 times today and wanted to share it with you. Hope you like it.

This pre-teen is making her way right on up to the top. Her hit reminds me of a hot young mix for Nicki Minaj and Rihanna. With her style incorporates funky and fun colors while still staying age appropriate (shes not even 10 yet)...i cant wait to see where this rising star ends up..i have no doubt it up there at the top

My LOVE collection

LOVE

(hope you LOVE it)

im gunna try n think of some other 4 letter words that i can do, but why not start with a lil bit of LOVE

inspiration all around me

i would argue that no one who is great has done it alone. the inspiration on which they thrive is provided by the equally great people around them.  Today, i was doing my normal blog search when i came across a video that literally had me AMAZED!

My Morehouse brother and fellow blogger, Kenneth Kyrell McKoy,{http://astoldbyky.tumblr.com/} posted what had to be the BEST video I have seen in a long time. It was a video created by 2 young, talented, black men of 

Street Etiquette....this clip incorporates so many great aspects of the life of a Young, Talented and Black young man that I just HAD to post it on my blog. The incorporation of so many great concepts all rolled into one to display the greatness of a sometimes non-represented group [African American males on a mission] was too good to pass up.
