Mister Cee though his third arrest for prostitution was a great time to offer up a recorded public service announcement. The Hot 97 DJ, who took a voluntary suspension after being arrested for allegedly soliciting a prostitute last week, teamed up with AIDS Healthcare Foundation to stress the importance of safe sex. He also takes…
One of my closest friends, we’ll call her “Kim,” called me in a fragile mood to rant about Wale’s song called “Bad.” If you haven’t heard the song — it’s for sure a radio banger for this summer. Wale’s mix of seduction and street mentality strikes the perfect balance, yet the message in the lyrics…
I recently thought back to some of my earliest “serious” conversations about sex, which took place in the halls of Whitney Young Magnet High School. My girls and I debated the qualifications that a boy would need in order to be bestowed with our precious V-cards and lamented the fact that we really needed to…

I was pretty flabbergasted when the “Intimacy Intervention” story appeared in my Facebook news feed from Essence.com.

When it comes to spicing things up and communicating your sex needs, get the conversation going in the right direction — UP! — by avoiding these specifics statements that make only make your stud feel like a dud……
Everyone that knows me knows that I am a budgetnista. When it comes to saving money I’ve done everything from brown bag lunches and clipping coupons to eating PB&J sandwiches every day for a month to pay off a debt. To me, these sacrifices are enough, but according to a newly released survey, most women…
Hi, my name is Danielle and I’m a reality television junkie. So naturally this week my television was semi tuned in to TLC’s new reality series The Sisterhood. To be honest I can’t tell you much about the episode since I was flipping channels, but one scene did manage to fully capture my attention. In this…
The older I get the more I realize that one of my responsibilities in this world is to do my part to better the community around me. Some days it is through mentoring, some days it is through cleaning parks and some days it is by being a big sister to a young girl that…
