If you could reblog this,
Phylicia Barnes went missing two days ago.
I don’t know all of the details because I don’t personally know her but one of my friends is really upset over it and any kind of help would be really appreciated.
She lives around the Monroe/Charlotte NC area, but she has family in Atlanta, Georgia so she could really be anywhere.
I always reblog these when they come up on my dash. Any decent...
I'm 'sposed to be out the house right now
But I’m sitting here on Twitter being TypoCop and shit. I need to get up and go. Today has been more than eventful on these intrawebs.

“lol! I based it on maturity level and the way you carry yourself. I think the people who are 30+ were the last generations with common sense… cause these youngsters… smh.”
I definitely take that as a compliment. Thank ya kindly! :-D
I turn 26 next week.
Most folks thought I was older than I am because of how I act. Although I look like a 14-yr old at times and get carded TWICE at clubs. lol.
Someone on Tumblr guessed that I was 36!
*faints* Do I look like Lady Gaga??? 24 in real yrs but she looks like she’s knocking on 40. NAWL!
Everytime folks find out how old I am, they're...
And it tickles me EVERYTIME. How old do you think I am, and why?

I had to call on the power of every ancestor I have when I talked to my daughter about her xenophobia, prejudiced views and ethnocentrism. ALL THE POWER!!!
She’s ignorant, ya’ll. Not “stupid”, not by a long shot. She is, after all, my child.
But she just doesn’t know anything. Her experiences…
She sure will be just fine. All of us had way more limited views and...
LOVED answering the questions you all had last...
I hope I provided good info for you. Feel free to ask me more, if you have any. Holler at the ASK box.
veronicastorm asked: Thanks for answering my questions :). You are right, the correct topic would be African v African American.

veronicastorm asked: As a Nigerian woman, why do you think there is such a gap in relationships between Nigerian women and African American women? I have had great friendships with Nigerian women but I don't know if that is because I was around, respect and understand Nigerian culture early on.And I notice around me, well in Texas, that's not so common....

veronicastorm asked: How do Nigerians feel about dating/relationships/marriages outside of their own tribes? and am I correct in saying "tribe?"
And to add to Peebz' question on Nigerian dating...
There is very much a traditionalism there too that involves a man ASKING his potential wife’s family for her hand in marriage. We even have an engagement ceremony where Yoruba men will prostrate (lay on ground in front of) for his bride’s family members. A way of showing respect and to pretty much tell her family that he’ll love and protect her. And to show he’s worthy of...

notesonascandal asked: I'd like to know how dating/courtship go in your culture. I've always wondered about that. Is it as fck'd up as Black Americans are right now? If not, I'd like to find a nice Nigerian gentleman to date on a long term basis.

I love when folks ask me questions because it usually comes from a genuine place of curiosity. Im very open to answering those questions. So holler at my ASK box, Peech and everyone else!
*opens gate* SHOMMON IN!
Grew up speaking 2 languages equally
And I’m blessed for it. There has never been a time I can remember where I didn’t speak both Yoruba and English equally. I’ve been blessed for that because by being bilingual, I do have a better ear for languages and tones than some folks who speak just one (science says so). And even by experience, I can hear variances in tones that my peers often can’t.
With that being...

urbanragdoll:
We speak English here.
& don’t give me that “Learn the Native American languages” argument.
People came and took over the land and now everyone speaks English. & Almost nobody speaks any Native American languages. I hate when I’m out and I’m dealing with somebody who doesn’t speak english. C’mon…
1 year+ and be fluent in English for folks who’ve NEVER spoken...
