Immediately, people on Twitter and other social media accounts shared the video, retweeted it, and posted comments openly laughing at and critiquing the model. While this response from the public is not a surprise to […]

by Tynesha M. McCullers For the past few weeks, people have been up in arms on both sides of the argument about Mo’Nique’s video discussing her disagreement with Netflix concerning her pay for a stand-up special — though the excitement has died down some now. In the video, Mo’Nique calls for Black people to stand […]

by Tynesha McCullers This past Super Bowl Sunday was one of joy for me, and the NFL had nothing to do with it. Nor did the underdog Philadelphia Eagles beating out the New England Patriots. Nope. This Sunday I got to see something that I believe isn’t done often enough — a Black woman being […]

We could be discussing how the film shows the historical […]

In the age of social media prowess, not only does everyone have an opinion, they have thousands and they have no hesitation when it comes to sharing every single one of them. While free speech and open dialogue is wonderful, a clear drawback to social media culture is an overabundance of thought. But these people are changing […]

I recently wrote a list of 10 wonderful podcasts that are mostly hosted by black people and speak about a number of topics from a black perspective. After it went live, I was put on to plenty more worth checking out, so expect another post in the near future. One of the additions to that next […]

 Jamie Broadnax is an example of someone who saw a void that needed to be filled and chose to do it herself. When Broadnax founded Black Girl Nerds in 2012, there was a clear need for an outlet for female nerds of color. Four years later, Black Girl Nerds has a website full of contributing writers, a podcast that was […]
