    "Honey"..."Babe"...."Beautiful"..."etc."...

    Yeah, if it's someone I'm dating that's fine but for anyone else, I don't like it.

    If a Man Pays All the Bills, What Do You Feel a Woman’s Role is in the Relationship?

    I wouldn't say cramp my style but it's just not something I've had in my plans. I am very entrepreneurial but I wouldn't let that stop me from being a SAHM mom if that's what I wanted. I think I just thrive better if I'm working. But that's just me now, maybe that'll change one day lol I'm...

    How do you handle annoying coworkers?

    I don't have any coworkers that are too bad right now, but I've had some pretty bad ones in the past. It was mostly just our personalities clashing, and it made for a lot of tension in close quarters. I've also had a few that were just really nosey and wanted to talk about personal matters. I...

    Bipartisan police reform negotiations over without deal

    Are we really shocked? Nothing ever gets done. Then they wonder why we're so angry.

    Do you take any vitamins?

    I want to take vitamins but it's hard for me to take them because I tend to be really sensitive to medicine. I tried a multivitamin but it always made me feel sick. I've settled in on taking Vitamin C, coated fish oil, and B12.

    Did you ever make friends with someone who bullied you?

    I've never been bullied but I wouldn't be friends with a bully. I hold too much of a grudge lol

    Is this an example of culture stealing or is she out of line?

    This is so true. This has to be called out, no matter what. Recording it is also a way of getting the word out. Maybe she didn't have to act like that but either way she got the point across.

    Diabetes rates in black women nearly double that of white women – WTF?

    That's so true. It's unspoken things like this that contribute so much to the issue. I like the body positivity movement, I think you should be happy with who you are. But I do think there are limits. I think there should be focus on body positivity but I think as much focus should be on...

    PET PEEVE: Signing up on a site doesn't mean "send me emails every two days"

    I hate that! It's insane how much junk mail I have to sift through. I hate when they try to hide the unsubscribe link or they ask you 15 different questions before finally being able to unsubscribe. Just leave me alone lol

    Do you keep in touch with any childhood friends?

    Yeah, that's how it was for me. All of my dad's friends have been his friend since he was 10, and I don't know how he did it lol Maybe just different times. It's hard to find someone that you can grow with like that.

    Anyone hear about this?

    This is a long read but apparently the water in Benton Harbor, MI is extremely poisoned - Even worse than Flint. The nearby "white town", St. Joseph, of course has perfect water. This has been going on for three years without the city, county, or state taking any action despite the water...

    8 of 12 top African American Facebook pages are troll farms

    I've never been a big fan of FB but I have to be on there for business purposes (I run a few pages for companies). I try to stay as private on there as I can and I'm rarely on my personal account anymore.

    Do You Juice?

    Yes! I need to get better about making it and having it everyday but I love a fresh green juice in the mornings. Do you have a juicer or do you blend yours?

    What are some signs it is a fetish?

    I haven't dealt with that personally so it's hard to say. I think it's fine to have preferences but when they start wanting/insisting you to play out racial stereotypes is when it can possibly be a problem. Also, when your race is all the person can talk about, even if it's a compliment...

    Do you keep in touch with any childhood friends?

    Are you still friends with anyone from your childhood? I'm not friends with any of them which I guess is kind of sad lol Most of them I just grew a part from but I did have a pretty big falling out with my best friend in high school. I've wondered how a few of them are doing but I think it's...

    If a Man Pays All the Bills, What Do You Feel a Woman’s Role is in the Relationship?

    I have always felt like everything should be equal. Meaning if the man pays the bills and supports the household financially, then it's the woman's "job" to keep the house in order, clean, and take care of the kids. If the woman is paying the bills, it's expect of the man to do the household...
