Monica's New Life

  Taken from Monica.com


I remember back in the day when Monica's video where she is walking in city, white rain coat and umbrella singing about love. I was no more than 10, but I couldn't wait to get home to turn on BET to see the sassy teenager. I wanted to be her. I wanted that life filled with love, fashion and the city. At eight Monica was my idol. Now at 27 I am still looking up to this amazing woman. It doesn't help that she married a cutie.

Monica is definitely a great example of a women who looks for opportunity in challenge. She says" whatever happens to me is just part of my story. It doesn't define who I am and it hasn't deterred me from where I'm going." Monica has gone through some things, not all good, but what is refreshing about her is that she keeps it real. She also grows from each challenge. I do believe if Monica had not weathered the challenges of her past she would not have such a wonderful life now.

Monica is still standing tall, I'd take her over Bey any day. Yep! I said it. Make sure you look out for her new album to hit stores in a couple of months.

Whats your favorite Monica song and why?

Tracee Ellis Ross Talks “Reed” and The Real Her

  From: Vibe Vixen

I remember when I would run back to my dorm room to catch reruns of Girlfriends. It seemed no matter how may times I watched an episode it was always like the first time. I fell in love with Joan's quirkiness and style. I could identify with some aspects of her life...mainly the scared self sabotage. Sad but true. As I have matured considerably I still get excited when I see Tracee in the media. Her style is always chic, effortless, so her. She inspires me to be uniquely me and not apologize for it. Not to mention I'd kill for her hair, and that bold red lipstick! It makes a statement.

Kudos to you Tracee Ellis Ross, Your Fab. Point. Blank. Period!
