    Apple users, did you update to IOS 15?

    I keep hearing about IOS 15 and how there's so many great new features but I haven't updated yet. I'm always a little afraid of them ever since that one a few years ago messed with everyone's phones lol But I'm sure I will soon. If you've updated, do you like the new features?

    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...

    Roku or Kindle Fire Stick?

    What do you use for your streaming services? I use Roku because the fire stick wasn't compatible with my tv (it's an older tv). I really want a smart tv though so that'll probably be my next upgrade. I've also heard that the Roku has a lot more options but I can't really compare it myself.

    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...

    Do you like to travel?

    Back before Covid I always loved traveling. Since last year, I've been able to travel around the state and I went to see family a few months ago but I'm ready to go out and see some new places. I've already cancelled several big trips so hopefully I can reschedule for next year! Do you like to...

    Do you consider yourself a planner or spontaneous?

    I like to think I'm a spontaneous planner lol I like to plan and have a set outline for whatever I'm doing but I can adapt if I need to. I used to plan too much but I've learned it's better for me to do whatever planning I can and then not stress about it.

    What are some goals you want to accomplish before 2021 ends?

    I thought this would be interesting. Maybe we can even check back at the end of the year and see how we did? My goals for the year were to read more books, create a better work/life balance, and maintain a better workout schedule. So far, I've read more books and I feel like I'm just now...

    Satin bonnet or satin pillowcase?

    I have both but I prefer the bonnet. It keeps my hair from getting too frizzy while I sleep and I also like that it keeps my hair off my face. I have the pillowcase too in case I just don't feel like putting my hair in the bonnet that night. What do you use?

    What are your hobbies?

    Do you guys have anything you do as a hobby? I have always liked photography and have gotten more into it lately. I also do some drawing here and there even though I'm not great at it lol

    Ladies, how do you feel about fake lashes?

    I feel like they fall into the same rules as nails. If they're not over the top they're fine but at a certain length they're just too much. I don't wear them a lot but when I have, they're always a pain to put on. I don't know how some girls have them in their daily routine lol What do you think?

    Do you meal prep?

    I know meal prepping is a great way to stay healthy, but I find that what I prep on Sunday isn't always what I want by the time we get into the week. I prefer to have a few staple healthy meals that I cycle through during the week instead of making it ahead of time. What do you all do?

    What's your definition of a partner doing “the bare minimum" in a relationship?

    For me it's when he feels like just because he's faithful and isn't abusive, he's a great partner. There's no little extras like planning dates or even just a quick text to say hi. I feel like so many settle for their partners simply because they are faithful and don’t abuse them but that...

    Girls (and guys too), how did the lack of representation affect you while you were growing up?

    Meaning dolls, Disney movies, magazines, etc. When I was little, I remember I wanted to dress up as a princess for Halloween, but I changed my mind when I realized my skin tone didn't match any of the princess costumes. I also remember my dad explaining the lack of representation in the shows...

    Camille A. Brown becomes the first black woman to direct and choreograph a broadway show in 65 years

    I just saw an article about Camille directing the 2022 production of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow is Enuf. I think it's great seeing black men and women making a splash in a white dominated area like Broadway. I know a lot of people who aspired to be on...

    What are some things you do to pamper yourself?

    It doesn't have to be anything cosmetic but just something that you take time out of your weekly schedule to do for yourself. I wouldn't say I have anything consistent that I do but I do like to take some time and go for a quiet walk every now and then. I also like to do an at home spa night...

    Do you 'move in silence?'

    By moving in silence I mean keep your goals and moves to yourself until they're done or set in stone. I was reading something that said it was important for women to do this because announcing your goals can sometimes put a target on your back and you'll have people trying to tear you down. I...

    Gender Bias In Medicine

    I heard a statement made the other day that was along the lines of "doctors are to black women as police are to black men" and the comments on it were really eye opening. So many stories of women who struggled to get their doctors to listen to them and some had even lost family members due to...

    Ladies, do you keep anything in your purse for self defense?

    Awhile back, some girls around here got attacked so I decided to keep a few things on me just in case. I have a pepper spray and one of those key chain alarms along with a few other things that I keep in my car. I also always make sure someone knows where I am if I ever go out alone. I feel like...

    Do you have any dating horror stories?

    My worst experience isn't so much a date but after the date. The days after he constantly texted me all day, asking where I was and what I was doing. He got more and more aggressive in how he was asking and it felt like he just wanted someone he could possess rather than get to know and date. I...
