FAMOUS POETRY BY "DESTINY"

1. CHANGE

Through love and pain

Its all the same

I tend to hide

And throw away my pride

Once was a scared little child

That was in denial

Thought that I wasn't loved

Till god sent help from above

Im delicate like a flower

Was given love like spring showers

Which helped me live and grow

And now Imma let it show

I felt like no one understood me

like i was invisible and no one could see

the pain that i had

that was breaking me and making me sad

But then god gave me Kim who showed me the way

Of happiness and love and shes here to stay

no more holding back im letting my feelings show

as the love and caring tends to grow.

2.MOM

Through thick and thin you were there

To help me through the pain i couldn't bare

you showed you cared and loved me

and now i can see

When theres darkness theres always light

And no matter what it always shines bright

even though i was in pain

and would drive you insane

You kept nit real and still cared for me

You showed me how life could be

glad your here to guide me

with your love i feel free

I dont know what i would do without you

Youre always kind and true

just like a mom should be

i hope that you could see

i only say this to a few

mommy i love you!

3.BEST FRIEND...

Through thick and thin

we're strong within

The tears i cry

are the ones you dry

you're my best friend

till the end

when times get tough

youre just enough

to make me glad

and never sad

you're always on my mind

you're one of a kind

when i needed a hand

you would always understand

i could always count on you

because our friendship was true

i always had your back

and you know that for a fact

because were best friends

till the end

SWEETGYRL IS OFFICIALLY BACK!!

We are launching a new program for Mom's and Daughters!

Also I have officially starting writing the book,
" The Truth Behind SweetGyrl"

I have decided to take matters into my own hands, and start a program designed to heal the wounds between mom's and daughters. It's all over, when you pick up the news, where you have the very public rival and bitterness between the Spelling women. It goes on, it simply does not matter what, class, socio - economic status your in, there seems to be some sort of "unhealthy" darkness between mom's and daughters.

I am delighted to have taken on a couple of new coaching clients to work with! My teen Gyrls! I am happy to be using my story, my skills, and my presence, to help teen girls shift from deviant behaviors, to positive ones.

Stanby its coming in the next post!!

WE ARE BACK! WOW, folks, its been quite some time since we did a posting. I remember in 2007, there was not a day that went by, that I was not blogging! Well Life happened, actually tons of stuff has happened. I don't know where to start! What I can say is, the last time I really really was writing to you guys, I was living in Montgomery County Maryland. I am now happily living in the Great State of California! (Again), after a 13 year haitus!

I love it here. I am truly blessed to be able to be given a second chance to be where my soul sings, and the opportunities are endless. My son is now in College, yes I am a very proud mom. As for me, I am in "ME" mode.

What do I mean by that? Well I am finding myself again. I feel like I got a second chance at life again. I am truly looking at "who" I am and where I am taking my life from here on out. I do know this for sure. I am more than determined to help young gyrls, and women, truly learn to LOVE, RESPECT, HONOR and APPRECIATE themselves. This is an important skill that they must learn to have in order to be successful in life and make the right decisions when it comes to choosing partners.

It is important for many young women to understand who they are and what they want, for themselves, and to learn who they are OUTSIDE, of what society tells them, thier mom, or dad or freinds tell them. In my years of working as a teacher and therapist, I have noticed that the girls today, HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT How to LOVE THEMSELVES. That is quite surpising! Then again its not, I look back and I realize for my own life it was not something I was taught. I learned how to do that, LATER LATER in life, after many falls, mistakes, trials and tribulations, I am finally learning to REALLY REALLY LIKE ME.

I am on a mission to teach young women the same. So, stay tuned....

TEEN GYRLS AND STD'S SAFE SEX? OR
ABSTINENCE?

Sound Off: Half of Black Teen Girls Has an STD???
Posted Mar 18th 2008 3:15PM by Angela BronnerFiled under: BlackSpin, Lifestyle, health
By Angela Bronner, BlackVoices.com

Last Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control released a study that found that one in four young women or 3.2 million teenage girls is infected with a sexually transmitted disease.
The kicker is, according to the study, nearly half of African American girls (or 48%) in this age group has least one of the following: the human papillomavirus (HPV), chlamydia, herpes, or trichomoniasis, with HPV leading the charge.

Yes, that's right, according to the CDC -- one out of every two African American girls ages 14-19 has an STD. The report, sponsored by the CDC and conducted by the NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics), took a national sample of 838 young women. The study did not include the STDs syphilis, HIV or gonorrhea. In a word, this is alarming.
Does this mean that if there are 20 tenth graders at a bus stop, say, the cheerleading squad at an all black high school -- that 10 of them has HPV?

In a word, no, or not necessarily, according to Dr. Stuart Berman, Chief of Epidemiology and Surveillances, STDs at the Centers for Disease Control.
"Put in context, you take a sample, but a sample done in a smart way, so you can extrapolate the data," Dr. Berman explains. "What this study says, is that this is a problem for the country. It's your kid, my kid, the neighbor across the street."

Berman further cautions not to take these results and stigmatize teens, young black women, or by default, young black men, who are most likely their sexual partners.
"These things can be stigmatizing but [loose sexual behavior] is not the reason [for the higher rates]," he says. "Once the community risk is higher, even if your behavior is not higher, the chances are greater."

The doctor says social and economic factors such as access to care, low or no health insurance, incarceration, and racism, all add up.
"There's an aggregate of a whole bunch of community factors, each doing a little bit, making it a little more prevalent," says Dr. Berman. The key to making any inroads into this problem, says the good doctor, is to have frank, and honest discussions with our kids.

"A lot of kids think, 'He she looks healthy,' 'I'm in love' 'He or she doesn't have any symptoms' and therefore are not at risk. Who is talking to them?"The two most common STDs in the study -- HPV, and chlamydia -- may not show any symptoms.
The most contagious of these infections, the human papillomavirus, HPV, or genital warts, is responsible for 70% of all cervical cancers. Black women are at least 50% more likely to die from cervical cancer than white women.

HPV and chlamydia are in fact treatable; also, that there is now an HPV vaccine against the virus. The CDC also reported on results from pilot programs in New York City and California, where the agency found that if you test for STDs where young women get care for other gynecological issues such as pregnancy tests, emergency contraceptives (and I would add abortions) – all of which assume unprotected intercourse -- we can begin to stem the tide.
The agency recommends annual chlamydia screenings for sexualy active women under age 25 and vaccination against HPV for young women and girls between the ages of 11 and 26.

"It's like that show 'Hill Street Blues," says Dr. Berman, who laughs as he says he is dating himself with that reference. "We have to tell our kids, you have to be careful out there."
Sound off.

Since my last post, I have had the wonderful opportunity to start working as an Editor for She-Unlimited Magazine, http://www.sheunlimited.com/ as well as a Special Education Inclusion Teacher. I have had many experiences since my last posts and many revelations.

I have com to realize that Learning Disabilities are rampant, but I am wondering if they are disabilities or gifted children that learn differently.

Since my last post, I have been tested (Educationally) found out that I had a from of Dyslexia, Developmental Opthamology, and ADHD.

It was a shock but then again not, It really put some thins in perspective for me. It help me understand why I suffered so badly in school and what the root cause of me and my mom's problems were from childhood. Never mind the fact that my mom has major control issues and needs counseling herself (refuses to go) she says "The Lord will work it out." However It help me realize I was not so messed up after all! I could not figure out for the life of me why I had to work so much harder and struggle so much.

Well since the post me and suffering broke up, struggling and I parted way amongst many other things.

More tomorrow!

Why Hate the Other Gyrl? Program
At SweetGyrl we offer real world scenarios. In today's society gyrls are often geared toward hating and being mean to each other. We offer Peace Circles for Gyrls to be able to see how much they have in common.

Growing up as a teen Kimberly met many oppositions by so-called friends. So-called friends meaning they acted like they liked her, however betrayal was waiting, or they hated the way she dressed, or they hated her personality, or she could not be herself. Therefore in order to fit in, Kimberly as a teen she adopted the attitude of the wrong people.

Many Gyrls fall into this trap, in society it is taught to live a mask, being yourself or unique is not permissible, its not ok. Gyrls are not taught to Love themselves, therefore, if they are around another gyrl that they feel is a threat, they punish her. Is this retarded or what!!

"I have been a victim of the player haters mentality so much, I got tired of fighting back, instead of getting bitter I chose to get "BETTER" I chose to learn to Love myself, I asked myself what energy or message was I sending off that I kept attracting these kinds of people?? I also learned that I can't change people I can only do me, get to know me, love me, and HEAL ME, and seek people and friends that really had my best interest at heart. At the end of the day, My true friends found me, its incredibly how we have the power to choose our circumstances and friends, but we learn at an early age to live life by default instead of designing it". Kimberly Bowles.

We teach young women to tap into their strengths and find what they are good at and to develop
the habit and do more of what they are good at, therefore we develop a success track in their
mind of excellence!

We offer:
Personality Profile: We allow them to share how much they have in common and share and appreciate their differences!

Passion Test: See what they really really want for themselves, and learn to design what they
want their life to look like.

Brag Book: A collage book of all of their previous accomplishments, and photo album of their
best friends, and people that have positively influenced them.

Learning Style Assessment: How do you communicate? what does it mean if you have a friend
that is a talker and your not? what interpretation do you attach to that? lets explore, you will be
surprised at what you find!!

SweetGyrl's Mission:

We are in the business of helping young women/girls, keep thier minds on the things that mean the most to them. Often time young women get caught up in the hype of Sex, Boys, Smoking weed, ect. Not all but some. We are here to show them, You only have "One Life To Live" and "One Youth". Take this time and "Live it Up" Have fun, focus on your goals, yourself, your dreams, Yes your dreams.

If you have a naysayer about Your dreams, look at the many people out there liveing "Your Dreams". Never take advise from anyone more screwed up than you are. You buy thier advice, You buy thier lifestyle. Learn to love and adore yourselves. When you do that, other people will have ABSOLUTLEY no choice but to LOVE AND ADORE YOU. Spend time with friends, family, and if you must have a boyfriend, that "Celebrates" you not tolerates you!!

I am glad to see that more young people are less sexually active. As teen men, they are not ready for the emotional responsibility or maturity that comes with sex. As young women, your neediness and desire to be loved will not come from that. I am exited about this article.

Teenagers Having Less Sex, Study Finds
By JENNIFER C. KERR,

Filed Under: Health, Nation

WASHINGTON (July 13) - Fewer high school students are having sex these days, and more are using condoms. The teen birth rate has hit a record low.More young people are finishing high school, too, and more little kids are being read to, according to the latest government snapshot on the well-being of the nation's children.

It's good news on a number of key wellness indicators, experts said of the report being released Friday."The implications for the population are quite positive in terms of their health and their well-being," said Edward Sondik, director of the National Center for Health Statistics. "The lower figure on teens having sex means the risk of sexually transmitted diseases is lower."In 2005, 47 percent of high school students - 6.7 million - reported having had sexual intercourse, down from 54 percent in 1991. The rate of those who reported having had sex has remained the same since 2003.

Of those who had sex during a three-month period in 2005, 63 percent - about 9 million - used condoms. That's up from 46 percent in 1991.The teen birth rate, the report said, was 21 per 1,000 young women ages 15-17 in 2005 - an all-time low. It was down from 39 births per 1,000 teens in 1991."This is very good news," said Sondik. "Young teen mothers and their babies are at a greater risk of both immediate and long-term difficulties."The birth rate in the 15-19 age group was 40 per 1,000 in 2005, also down sharply from the previous decade.Education campaigns that started years ago are having a significant effect, said James Wagoner, president of Advocates for Youth, a Washington-based nonprofit group that focuses on prevention of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

"I think the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the efforts in the '80s and '90s had a lot to do with that," Wagoner said of the improved numbers on teen sex , condoms and adolescent births."We need to encourage young teens to delay sexual initiation and we need to make sure they get all the information they need about condoms and birth control," he said.The report was compiled from statistics and studies at 22 federal agencies, and covered 38 key indicators, including infant mortality, academic achievement rates and the number of children living in poverty.

Tareyah

I had the wonderful opportunity to Interview the Founder/CEO of Black Girl Fame!! Please read the below Interview, This is is a powerful young lady!! Tareyah, I am so happy with what she is doing for our young women in the Entertainment Industry. Girl Power~~

Tell me more about Black Girl Fame?

Black Girl Fame is a website which supports and promotes young, underrated and Black famous entertainers. The site currently features over 65 girls and we're still growing. What prompted you to start the company/site? I wanted to see more support for young Black entertainers. I knew that if I wanted to see a change I had to do something to make it happen. So, I decided to start Black Girl Fame.

Is it only you or is there a partner?

Well, I'd like to say it's a group effort. I have a team of administrators who work on the site with me and there are many members and parents who help out with the site by contributing news, articles, pictures etc. I am the founder and Super Administrator but the site couldn't have achieved the success it has thus far without the help of all I've mentioned.

How long have you been doing this?

I started Black Girl Fame as a small message board in November 2004 then decided I wanted to go further with it and make it into a website. The site opened in April 2005 and I've been doing it since then.

What kinds of feedback have you been getting as far as the obstacles that Black girls encounter trying to be in the Entertainment business?

Well, it's harder for young Black girls to get quality roles that represent them in a positive way. There aren't many roles, especially lead roles written for them and when there are, the majority of them are built around stereotypes. There's also a lot of competition as there are so many girls and so few jobs.

What kind of services do you offer?

My site helps to gain a lot of exposure for these girls. We introduce new talents and we post regular updates about them and their upcoming projects so that everyone can know what they're doing. We have profiles on the girls which people use to learn more about what they have done and just who the girls are in general. We also provide things like banners that our visitors can use to promote the girls on other websites so that we can hopefully create a bigger fan base for these girls. We have a forum and a really great community among our members.

Have you been able to get famous actresses to support you in your endeavor on what your trying to do?

Actually, since a lot the girls featured on my website are really young they don't directly help out but their parents offer a lot of support. They donate money to help keep the site up, they refer other talents to us and the girls themselves promote our site. It's also the parents who help us keep the site going by contributing news, pictures and things like that; they are very supportive of the motives behind the site and are usually very pleased to learn that their daughters are part of it. I am blessed to have a lot of support! If so who? We've been very fortunate to have contact with so many of the girl we feature. They include; Keke Palmer, Tiffany Evans, Rhyon Nicole Brown, Chelsea Tavares, McClain Sisters ("Daddy's Little Girls"), Parker McKenna Posey, Ashley Monique Clark - and the list goes on.

What are your passions/dreams?

My passion is supporting my people! I have so many goals that I want to accomplish but my main focus at the moment is getting a better education for myself. One of my many dreams is to start a Non-Profit Organization geared towards helping young Black people do something more positive with their lives and become more successful. I'd like to teach them things about the entertainment business as well as teaching them to support one another along the way. Those are just a few of the things I want my organization to offer.

What do you hope to accomplish from this?

There are many things that I'd like to accomplish from the site. I want to encourage other Blacks to support Blacks. I feel that it's the only way that we can really make a change. If we don't support our own people, no one else will. I've seen firsthand that a lot of times, instead of supporting one another Blacks hate on and try to bring each other down. I feel like this is the main reason why our people aren't making any progress. I think it's time we stop blaming others and take a look at ourselves. It's sad to say, but it's true. Also, I'd love for my site to be used as a tool for casting agencies, where they can come to find out more about new Black talents and eventually I hope that by the girls getting more support and exposure there will be more jobs available to them.

What's next for Black Girl Fame?

Well, I've already started branching out from Black Girl Fame, as we recently opened up our site for boys. It's still fairly new but I hope that one day it will be as successful as Black Girl Fame. As for Black Girl Fame, I just want the site to continue to grow with new talents and become more popular with visitors around the world. Any suggestions/advise for girls out there trying to enter the Entertainment industry? KEEP GOD FIRST and NEVER GIVE UP! I've learned from many of our girls that you have to stay focused and really love what you're doing to make it in the industry. It takes a lot of heart and hard work, but if you want it bad enough, you will make it. I would also say that when your work pays off and you are making your way, I will be here to support you on your journey in the best way I can with my two websites.

LETS KEEP BEBE MOORE'S DAUGHTER IN OUR PRAYERS...

Mental Illness among the black community is very real. Many African Americans, deny that they have family with the illnesses. I remember growing up and having seeing my aunt (deceased now) having Bipolar Disorder and dillusions. In our family it was oh, she is crazy, and watching the police take her out and deliver her to a mental hospital, which my family called "The Mad House". It was sad seeing a woman that was once very vibrant and beutiful, gain in excess of 100 lbs, and talk to herself consistently. She was on heavy medications as if though they were tranquilizers, it use to make her very stiff. You could tell when she was off her medication. Just as she started to heal and get better and gain her will to live, She mysteriously died one night after jogging at the age of 32 years old. I knew then that I wanted to enter a field where I could help more people in our community heal, and become more aware of mental illnesses.

MAIA CAMPBELL: Lost & Found???
Posted Jun 7th 2007 3:30PM by Karu F. DanielsFiled under: Entertainment Newswire
By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices
Call off the A.P.B.!!!

Maia Campbell has been found.
I think. The Missing In Action actress has reportedly surfaced in Los Angeles, reports 'Philadelphia Daily News.' Last month, stories spread like wildfire about the former 'In The House' star and daughter of late best-selling novelist Bebe Moore Campbell skipping town after a Philadelphia-area man filed a police report alleging that she stole his Jeep.
There was also a report that the 30-year-old beauty was present during a recent police sweep of a drug house on the 6300 block of Chew Avenue.

"[She] still manages to keep her nails and feet done and is still very pretty," a West Coast source told the newspaper. "She really needs to go to rehab based off what I saw with my own eyes."
'The News' also noted that Campbell hasn't returned multiple messages left on her cell phone in recent weeks.

Campbell, who also appeared in music videos for Tyrese and Lil' Kim, is believed to be the subject of her mother's last book '72 Hour Hold,' which deals with mentall illness.
In an interview with AOL Black Voices, one of her last, the NAACP Image Award winning author commented, "watching my loved one become violent and an incoherent stranger certainly tested my faith. My very close family member has bipolar disorder, which is a mood disorder - a disease of the brain."

Last year, Campbell became fodder for internet chatroom and black gossip blogs when an alleged videoclip of her naked and singing surfaced.
The "alleged" videoclip is below.

"DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL"

With the impending fathers day coming up, I have come to realize its a holiday I never really ever celebrated, it was just "another day" to me. I use to feel sometimes left out as if tho I was missing something. Well this fathers day is "special" to me. Reason being, I found and met the man, that "donated a part of himself" to me for procreation purposes. I have also come to realize that I was not missing anything ever. In lieu of meeting him back in January and seeing HIS persona that was played of "OH he is such a nice man, he is so caring, etc etc, and experiencing otherwise, left me with the realization of why I had the issues with "dishonest men"

You see, just because someone is not there, does not mean that their "energy" or "spirit" is not working in your life. When I met him I came to understand why I attracted the kind of men that I did, the spirit of abandonment, the spirit of dishonesty but masking behind honesty. The passive aggressive behavior, words not adding up to actions, bailing out, taking the easy way out. Were all behaviors this man portrayed during the time I met him.

Needless to say I am glad "distanced myself from the negativity" Even up to last week, I still got a call from his wife's cousin portraying to be a friend but reminding me that she will kick my ass because I did not return her phone calls for months. I sat there on the phone for about 30 minutes WHILE THE ANGER WAS BOILING and I listened to this dysfunctional country (ignorant female) throw stones at me. I peacefully got off the phone with her, mind you I HAD TO CURSE HIS DAUGHTER OUT BACK IN APRIL.

I sat down, and I said to myself, boy do I ever get a break? Since I met this man, I have been approached by at least 4 women from his wife's family with drama. I then picked up my phone (blocked my number") and called her back praying that her voice mail would go on, and I said, Hi Seni, its Kimberly, Listen, thanks for offering me your friendship and being nice, but I would appreciate no further communication from you or anyone in Tennessee pertaining to "him" or his wife's family, ITS a conflict of interest and I am simply not interested period.

The drama this man had with him reminded me of high school dating my son's father, and when it was brought to his attention, he found excuses for them and says oh its just a misunderstanding I have known them for years and that's just how they are. Your' taking it wrong, meanwhile the knife is still in your back and the wound is open and bleeding.

So this fathers day, I dedicate to the Lord, and my mom, while we did not have the greatest relationship, she was the only parent I knew. We are still not close, I keep her at bay to stay healthy and healed. Re-injury is important to me to not happen again. However I am grateful that I knew a "PARENT" and I am thankful that I was not raised or involved with "That Man"

The rivalry with myself and his wife's children would have been pitiful.

My brother asked me the other day have you heard from him? I said of course not, my brother said wow, that dude is fowl, too bad you can't sue him for back child support. I said Tim he is an old man that lives with alot of regrets, In the back of his mind he will always regret the fact that he let the woman he marry dictate (as well as him) his life. I told my brother It does not matter I have soo moved on. I have to say my mom was right on this one, she warned me not to put my trust in him, she stated he was an abandoner and take it slow. I thank God I stepped in with two feet and my eyes open.

So to all the REAL FATHERS HAPPY DADS DAY COMING UP, AND TO ALL THE MOTHERS THAT WERE DADS, DOUBLE MOTHER'S AND FATHER'S DAY TO YOU!!

ET was inside the courthouse Friday as the judge ordered her to complete her original 45-day sentence -- which prompted a dramatic reaction from the socialite, who wept and screamed out for her mother, "Mom! Mom! No! It's not right!"Paris' parents, KATHY and RICK HILTON, were present in court, as was little sister NICKY, who showed no emotion throughout the swift proceedings.

Paris arrived to court after a Sheriff's squad car picked her up around 10:20 Friday morning at her Hollywood Hills home and escorted her to her court appearance. Wearing a casual grey sweatshirt and pants with her hair pulled back, Paris hugged her mom before being put in handcuffs and getting into the police cruiser. In a press conference Friday afternoon, Sheriff LEE BACA defended his department's actions and declared Paris to be "a low-level offender." As for any preferential treatment, he says her early release was "based on her severe medical problems" and that she went to the correctional treatment center once she returned to jail.

Baca refused to elaborate on Hilton's medical condition, but he did say that he felt "we need a mental health court judge ... to deal with cases just like this.

"On Thursday, Paris was ordered to attend a 9 a.m. hearing Friday at the Hill Street courthouse in downtown L.A. Although earlier, ET learned that Paris would not actually be in the courtroom and would be calling in instead, Judge MICHAEL T. SAUER subsequently ordered she be present in court.L.A. City Attorney ROCKY DELGADILLO, who filed a motion Thursday asking the judge in Paris' case to return her behind bars to serve out her full sentence, released this statement after the judgment:

"This decision sends the message that no individual -- no matter how wealthy or powerful -- is above the law. Today, justice was served."Delgadillo was asking Judge Sauer to hold a hearing to determine why the Sheriff's Department should not be held in contempt of court for violating the judge's court order, having made Paris "leave on electronic monitoring," when the order specifically included the edict, "no electronic monitoring.""I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence," she said in a statement Thursday morning after serving only 73 hours behind bars. "I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes.

"It was at a press conference Thursday that L.A. County Sheriff Spokesperson STEVE WHITMORE told reporters that due to "medical issues," the heiress had been "reassigned" at about 2 a.m. and would finish out her sentence on house arrest. Whitmore told the press Paris would actually be completing her original 45 day sentence, minus 5 days already served: "She's confined to her home for 40 days." He added that she has already been fitted for an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet. Sources close to the Hilton family tell ET the medical reason was actually an extreme rash she developed on her body.

The Therapist in me is asking the question "What if there are Mental Health Issues?" Also even tho I did not agree with the way Paris handled herself at times, I most certainly don't agree with laughing at her or making fun of her, she is clearly in pain. Sometimes the news get's very invasive. I actually saw how brutal they really could be when Anna Nicole Smith died. It was horrible.

This also sends a message to young women to respect themselves and choose who they say are role models to them.

WHITE'S ARE THE NEW MINORITY? Gen-x is definitly breaking the stereotypes and Norms that the Baby Boom Generation Lived by. If you look at it, more "white guys" are now dating "black girls", the tables are turning from just mainly black guys dating "white girls", and everywhere I turn, more white kids are playing r&b and rap and giving blacks credit for it, more than thier forefathers ever would have.

Slowly but surely time is changing. Now White students are going for "black education". I think its so cool, I totally love it! Halle Berry is dating her "white model boyfriend, "Robin Thicke" being married to a sista, I can't wait for them to do a sitcom. A couple of movies have already been made. The Series "Girlfriends" had Tony married to a white guy. I have to admit, some of the White brothers are fine! LOL..

Black Colleges, Door Open for Whites

Whites Mix With HBCU's

Michael Roberts and his fiancee Marquita Watson pose for a photo on their campus of Benedict College, in Columbia, S.C.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Michael Roberts has done more than study finance at historically black Benedict College. He's played football for the college, joined a fraternity and proposed to his girlfriend.Pretty typical, except that Roberts is one of the few whites who attend one of the nation's traditionally black colleges.

"When I tell people I attend Benedict, they comment, 'Well, you're not black,'" Roberts said. "But it's still a school, I'm still getting an education. You don't have to be black to attend."Officials for the nation's historically black schools say Roberts' experience is not that unusual. White students are being actively recruited, and attracting them has become easier for a variety of reasons, including the offer of scholarships and lower tuition's than those paid at non-black schools.

Private, historically black schools cost an average of $10,000 less per year than their traditionally white counterparts, according to the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education.

Whites at HBCU's
The head of the association says lower costs are not the only thing the schools have to offer. Whites who attend the schools are preparing for an "increasingly black and brown world," said Lezli Baskerville, the association's president and CEO."If you want to know how to live in one, you can't grow up in an all-white neighborhood, go to a predominantly white school, white cultural and social events, go to a predominantly white university and then thrive in a world that is today more black, more brown than before," Baskerville said.

White students say they've taken valuable experiences from their time at black colleges. Skin color, the students say, is much more of a factor away from the campuses than it is on them."You should get to know people based on who they are," Roberts said. "You can't judge a book by its cover."The first of what are now called historically black colleges and universities was Cheyney University in Pennsylvania, which was founded in 1837 so that blacks -- barred from attending many traditional schools -- could get advanced educations. Since then, more than 100 such institutions have been established in the U.S. and about 285,000 students attend the schools each year.

Lawsuits have forced many of the schools -- about half of them are public -- to diversify their student bodies, Baskerville said. In the 2005-06 school year, nearly 10 percent of their students were white, according to her association's data.Scholarships, new programs and recruitment have attracted dozens of whites to schools such as South Carolina State University, where they account for around 4 percent of the student body, said university spokeswoman Erica Prioleau. The school has a minority affairs office for white students, similar to those found for non-white students at traditionally white schools.

A handful of whites attend Atlanta's private Morehouse College. The school hasn't been aggressively recruiting whites, so they make a "conscious decision" to attend, said Sterling Hudson, dean of admissions and records for the college.Steven Schukei did just that. The Morehouse alumnus, who now works as a vice president in technology for New York-based investment firm Goldman Sachs, said he gained a perspective that he wasn't offered while growing up and going to school in Nebraska, Colorado and South Carolina."There was always this sort of disjoint between what I thought I should be learning and what I actually did learn," said Schukei, 30. "And I thought Morehouse would be an opportunity to expand my horizons and to see a different perspective on the world that we live in.

"Schukei remembers Morehouse as a "refuge from the rest of the world where what race you are doesn't really matter.""Conversations that people typically wouldn't feel comfortable having about race can happen on Morehouse's campus where they just wouldn't happen anyplace else," he said

Hollyweird Police Double Standard????
Posted by Bossip Staff

Two weeks ago, Eve was arrested in Hollyweird for a DUI and went directly to jail. Well, early Saturday morning, Hollyweird coke whore Lindsay Lohan was “cited” for a DUI and for having cocaine in the car. She crashed her whip while coked up, drunk, and angry after getting into a fight with her lesbian lover Samantha Ronson.

She was arrested at the hospital and given a get out of jail free card, a citation. DUI and coke and she gets a “ticket”?

The coked up Lohan was caught on video by Splash News running from the scene of the crash, likely getting rid of her coke stash before “one-time” (police) arrived to the scene.

Ciara is, indeed, the new spokesmodel for Roc-a-Wear clothing line.

A record label rep for the chart-topping singer/songwriter confirmed to The BV Newswire that 'Goodies' singer will be the face of the fall 2007 Rocawear Ladies brand.

The Atlanta-bred 'Goodies' singer follows in the footsteps of former supermodel Naomi Campbell and red-hot actress Zoe Saldana, who previously shilled for the Jay-Z-owned fashion line.
The new campaign, entitled 'I Will Not Lose,' will feature video testimonials from individuals who overcame different obstacles.

'Virgina Tech' newspaper's editor Amy Steele will reportedly be featured as a profiled participant. Sought after fashion photographer Mark Seliger has been tapped to lens it.

"I love Rocawear," Ciara said in an interview. "The clothes are so cute. The stuff is great. I am so happy to be able to do the campaign."

There's more exposure from where that came from.
Rumor has it that Ciara has been tapped to make her feature film debut in a gospel-based film project.

IT'S A SAD DAY FOR THE CIVIL RIGHT'S MOVEMENT FAMILY..

Martin Luther King Jr.'s Daughter Dies at 51

ATLANTA (May 16) - Yolanda Denise King, daughter and eldest child of civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., has died, said Steve Klein, a spokesman for the King Center.

Peter Dejong, AP Yolanda Denise King, daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., spoke to the media in the Netherlands in January. She was the most visible and outspoken child of the civil rights leader.Jump Below: Watch XXXX

King died late Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 51. Klein said the family did not know the cause of death but think it might have been a heart problem. Born on Nov. 17, 1955, in Montgomery, Ala., King was just an infant when her home was bombed during the turbulent civil rights era. As an actress, she appeared in numerous films and even played Rosa Parks in the 1978 miniseries "King." She also appeared in "Ghosts of Mississippi." She founded a production company called Higher Ground Productions. King was also an author and advocate for peace and nonviolence. Her death comes more than a year after the death of her mother, Coretta Scott King.

Yolanda King is survived by her sister, the Rev. Bernice A. King; two brothers, Martin Luther King III and Dexter Scott King; and an extended family. Arrangements would be announced later, the family said in a statement. Yolanda King was the most visible and outspoken among the Kings' four children during activities honoring this year's Martin Luther King Day in January, the first since Coretta Scott King's death. At her father's former Atlanta church, Ebenezer Baptist, she performed a series of one-actor skits on King Day this year that told stories including a girl's first ride on a desegregated bus and a college student's recollection of the 1963 desegregation of Birmingham, Ala.

She also urged the audience at Ebenezer to be a force for peace and love, and to use the King holiday each year in January to ask tough questions about their own beliefs on prejudice. "We must keep reaching across the table and, in the tradition of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King, feed each other," King said. When asked then by The Associated Press how she was dealing with the loss of her mother, King responded: "I connected with her spirit so strongly. I am in direct contact with her spirit, and that has given me so much peace and so much strength."
