Just Call Me Madam...

MADAME CJ WALKER As an Entrepreneur, you become somewhat isolated.  Once you take yourself off of the plantation, you no longer have the throng of people that you work with.  It definitely is a great contrast to the job scene.  I had to take my 10 year old granddaughter "Heaven" to her performance for Black History Month at her school and it made me think.  I realized that as an Entrepreneur, I don't get a lot of the social components of "having a job" i.e. office parties, holiday parties and events. I really did appreciate seeing all of the children remembering their roots and performing at Heaven's Elementary School.  It truly warmed my heart.  Since then I was thinking about what I have to say about Black History, especially since I am in entrepreneurial solitude now.  I then realized, I AM BLACK HISTORY.  I created NEW BEIN' Enterprises, a business whose clientele are primarily Black People.  I stand firmly and squarely on the shoulders of Madame C

  As we are in the last days before "V" Day...I am considering my thoughts on Love.  I realize, like most people I have probably made a mess out of Love. It seems to be the human thing...to err, tear up, mess up and destroy.  But...I dare say the biggest "human thing", let's call it the theme of Life, is the discovery, yearning for and pursuing of Love.  It begins in the cradle and goes all the way to the grave; from being an innocent, helpless baby to becoming an innocent, helpless elder.  The journey in between is fundamentally about Love.  I have struggled and grown and hopefully will continue to grow in this thing called Love.  On the basic fronts of Love; family, friends, and lovers - the verdict is still out. At this stage in my life, I find that I am very alone (not lonely).  It's as though many in the realms just mentioned have been stripped away.  It's not a bad thing in my opinion.  I think it's the reality of the process of living, maturit

Beauty...A Love Thang Pt. 2

I remember when I was a little younger, Valentine's Day was such a big deal for me.  I had much anticipation and expectation about what I would get, as a symbol of his real love for me.  He had better get me something...and not just anything, but something "really" nice...or at least romantic.  Of course, chocolates, flowers, a lovely scarf, or a diamond bracelet would be really nice.  After many occasions of disappointment (life experience) and some maturity, I got my expectations in check.  Guess how? I got myself in check.  Somehow or another it seems like I always get back to the "self-love" concept.  I guess it's because I really do believe in it.  I actually think it is fundamental and prerequisite to any real acquisition of the love you want to see in your life.   Let me ask you this question and please think about it).  If you evaluate the amount of time and energy you have or continue to invest in the capturing of his/her heart e.g.  new outfits, s
