Editor’s Rant:

So I started this little missive as a way of dealing with my anger at what I was seeing going on in the world.
There was so much and it got to be too much. The ramifications of this mad war with Iraq. Little or no black faces in the media. The ugliness/apathy of the current presidential race. What I see as an insidious attempt by the religious right to comletely erase women's rights.
My sensibility toward political and current affairs came from my father, who was a left-wing journalist in my native Trinidad and Tobago.

My mother, a career schoolteacher, was always a sharp element in front of the blackboard, and I was encouraged early on to explore and find what worked for me. Thus the other key element of this blog: style and design critique. Wierd combo, but IT'S MY BLOG-deal with it.

So there you have it- 30-something black girl passionate about the development of her race, opinionated and informed about what’s going on in the world and with a definite yen for the stylish things in life.

In this first tome I present the three things I am most up-in-arms about lately. Discussion/spirited argument/uninhibited yelling is strongly encouraged.
