Collective work and responsibility (Ujima) - To build and maintain a community together and make our brother’s and sister’s problems our problems and solve them together.
In college, my friends and I started an student organization to raise funds and gather donations for children in Haiti to address the obstacles to education that many of the children face.
What present problem...

Juice/Veggie/Fruit Cleansing
Has been pretty easy so far and I haven’t really been hungry. I added nuts to add some fats and “bulk” to the diet. I don’t have a juicer, so I’ll simply be eating the foods raw. I actually prefer this because I want the roughage from the skins, and the body uses energy to break down the food, which would seem to burn calories. Yesterday I had a smoothie, bananas,...

Kwanzaaaaaaaa
Yes, it’s Kwanzaa time again! The gifts have all been opened, the level of camaraderie is high between you and your loved ones, and now you can take a breather while reflecting on the principles of Kwanzaa. You may be thinking, ‘I don’t believe in Kwanzaa, I believe in God. Plus, I’m not Black.’ While activist Ron Karenga’s main goal for creating Kwanzaa in...

Don't try to fly at the airport with an updo
And bobby pins. They’ll pat you down.
Anyone else think its noteworthy that on the New Girl the only Black guy is unemployed and used to play pro basketball? Are the stereotypes satirical or ignorantly offensive?
Prep
Preparing myself mentality for this cleanse and all I want are pizza and French fries… This is going to be rough.
Breakfast
How are you starting the day? With an overloaded sugar pastry and artificially flavored drink? With a jarring alarm clock, groan and rollover? Do you immediately think of all the tasks you have to complete for the day and then wish you could go back to sleep? Be mindful of with what and how you start your day. It can color your entire outlook for the day.
I like to start mine with a prayer...

"Tell that BLACK, dirty a-- n---- to come on"
OH. MY. GOSH. Seriously, dude?? Literally like 10 minutes ago on my walk home from the bus, I walked past a group of young Latino people and this tall, burly Latino man just said, “tell that Black, dirty ass nigga to come on.” (He emphasized Black) I almost cried. I just continued walking but oh my goodness. That hurt my feelings. I took it personally. I’m educated and very...

about anything but the word “nigga”.
Nobody ever says, “Well, if gay people don’t want to be called ‘faggots’, then they shouldn’t use the word ‘faggot’”. No one ever says, “well, if Latinos don’t want to be called ‘wetbacks’ then they shouldn’t use the word, ‘wetback’”. It is always, always surrounding the word “nigga”.
You can’t look at a group of...

Enough with the juice
Ok, so that’s enough juice recipes for now. I hope this helps those of you who asked for recipes! I’m pretty excited about this fast… And kinda nervous because it’s the holiday season! The season made for being gluttonous! I’ll have to have some serious self-control b/c I enjoy eating and my people make some good Jamaican food! Sigh. My insides and my skin will thank...
