When I heard of Mac Miller’s passing, I definitely didn’t think it was real. It was the first thing I saw when I went to my Instagram app the day of, and it completely shocked me to see this news on The Shade Room. Losing him is kind of like losing someone that you went …
Like every other warm-blooded millennial black woman, I too absolutely love Beyonce. Today wasn’t just a day where millions of kids went back to school, it also is Beyonce’s 36th birthday. She (and a lot of other women) taught me that there’s no one definition of being a woman. Over the years, I’ve had many …
As you might not have known, I recently turned 23 on August 8th. 23 is one of those ages that lingers in the spaces of time. It’s not really a milestone. There’s not any exuberant happiness (or sadness) that comes with that age. It just, kind of, happens. It’s been almost two weeks since my …
Even though I’m new to this brand-new fluorescently colored world of entrepreneurship, I know for a fact how important self-motivation is. It’s weird because ever since I was in diapers I’ve had a boss to deal with whether that’s my weird-ass English teacher from 11th grade with the lisp, my incredible, amazing, and hilarious parents, …
As if you haven’t got slapped in the face with this link at least three hundred and twenty-seven thousand times before you drunkenly stumbled onto this post. But yeah, if you (for some reason) don’t know where you can listen to the surprise Beyonce & Jay Z album Everything is Love, then you can go …

My first thought was that it probably didn’t mean anything. You …
Just like every other warm-blooded black millennial on social media, I too am in awe of Black Panther. Before I went to go see it at my local movie theater, I was a bit skeptical. The hype was getting to be overwhelming, and I’m a certified skeptic at heart. I’ve never been a superhero kind …
In a lot of ways, February is one of my favorite months. First off, it’s Black History Month. Black history is my favorite kind of history and I always find out something new in February about my culture. Even though I’m knee-deep in the culture 25/8, I always need a little bit extra in my …
The sultry peanut-butter smooth beat of SZA’s side chick anthem The Weekend is so red-hot it can melt the ice of the recent snow storm. I’m not surprised that every singer/rapper/neighborhood scatter has uploaded their version of the tune on the internet. But Wale’s spoken word drenched rendition might be the best one of them all. Check …
Hello beautiful people, I hope you’re having a stellar December and an awesome holiday season. We just had our first snowfall, so it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas over here 🙂 If you’re stuck in the house, you’re probably looking for something new to binge watch. I’m always looking for something to dive …
