Gabrielle Union has long been a hero of mine. The way she carries herself, her (sometimes brutal) honesty and the way she uses her platform to speak up for minorities and empower women, whatever the uncomfortable consequences, is the stuff that makes me wanna be like her when I grow up.

When she announced her book, I got excited and placed my preorder. Of course in this corner of the world, it took a little longer for me to receive the it. But I finally received it, read it, and now I’m going to review it.

Movement: Bring slow jams back to the club!

November 29, 2017July 22, 2016 by Sarah

It happened again last weekend. My little group of troublemakers and I went out. We were out dancing, laughing, having fun, some of us misbehaving juuuust a little bit, singing along to our favorite old school goodies. You know, the usual. And then suddenly: lights came on, night was over. We knew it was coming, but we still get disappointed by it. No Jodeci. No Blackstreet. No SWV. Nuthin’.

Tumblr can be a very dark place. But it can also be wonderful and provide unique perspectives and ideas. This is one of those times. Tumblr users united to answer a genuine question somebody had (we’ve all had that question, haven’t we?) and the Tumblr-verse ran with it. Enter Victor’s Secret. It’s glorious.

{:en}Fangirl moment: Mariah Carey{:}{:nl}Fangirl momentje: Mariah Carey{:}

{:en}This week started with the fantabulous Mariah Carey announcing a European tour: the Sweet Sweet Fantasy tour. It’ll be her first time touring Europe since 2003. While I thought I had outgrown my frantic love for all things Mariah, I found myself squealing like a high school girl with a crush when I found out. So, I called some of my friends who had a similar response and we got our tickets as soon as they went on sale.

I’ve had some responses from people asking me if I was sure, since her voice isn’t what it used to be. To them I say:

lucille-ball-mariah-carey — Take that, haters!

I can list all the reasons I still love Mariah Carey. As a matter of fact, I will!
