Disney- They Didn't Get It Then and They Don't Get It Now

Greetings all, Disney didn't get it when I was growing up and they still don't! After Jasmine and Pocahontas, I thought Disney finally had a light-bulb moment! In case you haven't heard, Disney has finally come up with a princess of darker hue in response to a question that was put to them some time ago by a concerned mother who took her daughter to Disney World. After seeing Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel; her daughter asked why there wasn't a princess who "looked l… Continue

It's Time for Change It's All About Respect

Namaste everyone! We have a new President! The forty-fourth President of the United States of America is an African-American! It is a NEW DAY!! It is time for Americans (no matter who they are) who had the wrong image of African-Americans to see us in a new light. I transitioned through the 60's finally realizing and believing that Black is Beautiful and that I deserved respect.

A Comments from one of our readers:
Thank you for allowing a platform of expression for the Home Girl, CEO.
You and your vision are both absolutely FABULOUS!
As far As my home based business, I haven't completely taking the plunge but, I'm 90% there!

Here's my thing:
I can no longer fall victim to a work place that has not set up ample respect for the single mom! My last job wanted me to work from 4pm-1am. In my opinion, they were telling me to forget about my family, and forget about having a life and let someone else raise your child!
To me, that's truly unacceptable as well as, on the other hand, motivating.
I can't continue to do the same thing and get the same results. I think they call that "insanity", right!
For me, that was a serious wake up call. So now, I'm working through this thing called "fear" and it's been a douzie! However, I plan to succeed at all cost.
I have too! I'm not giving myself any other option and you shouldn't either.
Always remember that we come from a background of strong survivors that would do anything for the price of freedom, even risk loosing their lives.
So , on that note, lets expect to succeed. Let's plan, organize, and execute! Let's be that person that we are waiting to show up! Let's do the do! Let's make a committment to hold each other accountable for success. I'll take the stand first.
