What Kehinde Talking About?

Who You Calling a…? The Battle of the Sexes Part I

November 19, 2012

I recently wrote about America’s Obsession with Black Female Identities. Ronald Reagan, Mitt Romney, Lupe Fiasco and Shonda Rhimes were among those I examined to explore the various identities created for Black women. The article, shared at Curlynikki.com, drew comments from readers who thought I was too harsh in my treatment of Lupe Fiasco’s “Bitch Bad, Woman Good, Lady Better.” My point is that Lupe Fiasco’s track, in much the same way as Reagan and Romney, ultimately serves to creat[...]

Reagan, Romney, Rhimes and Rap Music: America’s Obsession with Black Female Identities

November 9, 2012

  Rewind. In 1976, Ronald Reagan did what many politicians do when giving anecdotal support of his/her platform—he made stuff up. She has eighty names, thirty addresses, twelve Social Security cards and is collecting veteran's benefits on four non-existing deceased husbands. And she is collecting Social Security on her cards. She's got Medicaid, getting food stamps, and she is collecting welfare under each of her names. Her tax-free cash income is over $150,000. Enter the social constru[...]

Michelle

October 31, 2012

Quite frankly, I blame Michelle Obama. Here we have a First Lady of the United States of America (code name Renaissance) who dared show the world that Black women are comfortable in their own skin. She didn’t fit into any of the socially constructed identities previously created for women of color—no Jezebel, Mammy, Welfare Queen or Sapphire to be found on or near her person.

When it comes to a peaceful aesthetic, one of these kids is doing the wrong thing. With acrylic storage, things that aren’t color coded can start to feel visually overwhelming. A room full of the bottom right corner can literally make some folks feel more stressed (it’s me, I’m folks). A bunch of the storage was starting to look like that because I buy too much shit. Anyway, a quick purge of products I’m not using and delegating anything that didn’t coordinate to hidden storage instantly made a difference (I wish I’d taken a pic before I started). It might seem hella extra to some folks but nothing is too extra for my peace of mind. Swipe for the update. What are some extra steps you take to keep your peace in your home? #homeorganization #homedecor #storage #bodybytph #acrylicstorage #beautyroom
