crunkista, your list is a good one and familiar to me. pls allow me to unscore your suggestion for excercising and going to the gym. i’ve found the deep breathing, stretching and endornphine release to be profoundly vital to my emotional and psyhcological recovery after a break up. indeed, i’ve flipped the script and actually LOOK FORWARD to a post breakup workout regime…if nothing else i want to look good should i run into my former beau…more importantly i affirm my self-worth, discipline, will power and self-care when i expend my energy taking care of myself instead of allowing myself to deteriorate.
after a breakup i ask myself what lessons do i need to learn about myself for future relationships. i forgive myself for being less than skillful in the relationship and i offer forgiveness to the one i was attracted to in the first place but somehow lost on out path. FORGIVENESS.
lastly i listen to BLUES MUSIC week-after-week. the one recording that gets me ovah everytime is The Delta Meets Detroit: Aretha’s Blues, by Aretha Franklin.

About non-famous black women, check out HANDS ON THE FREEDOM PLOW, accounts by 52 women who worked with SNCC, Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, in the South in the 60;s. A few famous ones here (Bernice Johnson Reagon of Sweet Honey in the Rock, Diane Nash major theoretician of nonviolence and strategist of the Freedom Rides), but mostly the non-famous students including high school students and younger and family women in the community who were the backbone of that movement. Issued this autumn by University of Illinois Press, edited by Holsaert, Noonan, Richardson, Robinson, Young, and Zellner
These videos are awesome. I am 27 years old and these little girls are inspiring to me. I agree that there is too much of this hate, drug, killing, and woman bashing going on in our music today. Keep up the good work! To all the kids in the videos, you did what no adult would have done, you made a stand!!

Not sure this is the right place, but could you do a book list of 2011 anytime really of must read or recommended books for young black women or women of colour?
That touch on different subjects like depression, development, dealing with failure and so on and so forth? Anything really, even pure entertainment.
The sales are coming up and there is no one I rather hear from more.

I love the concept of your blog and you are very articulate and powerful writers–but just a thought, I think you mean to say “where crunk meets ‘consciousness’ or ‘conscience’”
Now keep on doin’ what you’re doin’ ladies!!!
Thank you for today’s post, “Evolution of the Down Ass Chick”. I really appreciate the spotlight on this nuance of Black Love….I, too, was that 17 yr old.
