Cruel..... an under-statement........

I was reading in BV about Caster Semenya being how she is, and I really dont understand the issue at hand. She is a woman and she should be treated as such. I dont feel that it is right she should be put in the media like this. It isnt anyone's business what sex she is, how embarassing to be put out there like that. People can be so cruel at times, is it because she won the medal...GOLD at that. So, people decided that since she looks like a man, and has features of a man, that technically she is a man. She was raised as a girl--Female. Its just crazy how far people would go to make another person look like crap. I know you're probably thinking I'm headed towards the race card, but actually...nah. It has nothing to do with the color of a person, because one way or the other someone would've said something, regardless of the color. I am just speaking for people in general, no one wants to be put on the spot and find out something about themselves in front of the world. She won a gold medal, goodness, would they worry about her sex if she was an ordinary person, I'm saying if she wasnt an olympic gold medalist, if she was just and ordinary Jane, would they worry then, or would it be recognized as much as it is now? On top of that she was tested without her consent.... how is that possible? Why was she tested without her consent? That sounds like a nice lawsuit, a very nice lawsuit. I'll post some links so you can check more into the story if you like. www.blackvoices.com check it out.

Why We Should Find Alternative Ways of Living to Avoid Eviction & Homelessness

It was a sunny day in June when we found out our landlord wouldn't be renewing our lease, the day was going great, I made a couple of sales, business wasn't great but it was paying bills. I was talking to my husband in "the shop" (the tiny home in the backyard that turned out to be the perfect workspace) about the rodent problem that we were experiencing when my oldest son came in with the mail. There it was, a notice that our landlord wouldn't be renewing our lease. The talk of rodents went elsewhere, we immediately went into survival mode thinking and planning what would be our next move. We were starting over with the house, at the top of our budget at 1400 dollars a month plus utilities. The duplex we lived in before the house was great for a Sunnyside Duplex,. The landlord kept it up, but there was a shootout there, and that raised concerns with my husband and I, which caused us to look for another place to live. So we found thou house wit

The Art of Bouncing Back: Steps to Pick up the Pieces and Start Again

B ouncing back, picking up the pieces, picking up yourself, starting over, whatever you want to call it requires a whole lot of patience and perseverance. When we fall, man, we tend to fall hard some of us have a hard time getting back up, some of us need a boost or some kind of motivation to get out of the slump. Don't feel bad, we have all been through it. Falling on your face will surely make you feel like shit, but you got to get on up now! (in my Jodeci voice) the comeback is always phenomenal so don't trip. Find your Reason. Shit happens in life, we got to be prepared for everything these days, but when we aren't prepared and shit just hits us back-to-back it throws us off track, well it is up to us to hop back on the saddle and ride till the wheels fall off, or the hooves, whatever. Just get the hell up and do something, find your reason, find a good reason to do it and do it for you. Give yourself time to feel bad, cry if you have to and let it all ou

Finding employment in Houston............

It seems to be the hardest thing to do these days..... with unemployment rates rising and companies continuously laying off employees, people are becoming discouraged. The workforce is crowded, it's like future employees are fighting for jobs. Well with that said, I took the liberty to help find ways to make money and tips on how to find the right job for you. First off, we will look at some of the things that can possibly stop you from finding a good job, we will start with appearance. Overall appearance plays a big role in job-hunting, employers want to see their future employee in business professional attire, not in everyday street wear. When attending an interview men should be sure to be clean shaven, hair should be groomed, clothes should be cleaned, ironed, shirts tucked in, and belts if pants have loops. There should be no jewelry, unless it's a wedding band, earrings, necklaces, gold teeth, are prohibited and should not be worn to an interview.
