Brown Girl Swagger

Being a pussy makes you incapable, it makes you weak, it makes you a WOMAN.

I have been inundated the last few weeks. The only thing on my mind has been Holistic Hood and The Who is that BLK GRL Campaign. Well last Sunday we did the damn thang and we want to give our faithful readers a sneak peek at the behind the scenes.
 

The Who’s That BLK GRL? […]

I happily live in a hood that is about 80% Latin. I value the weird juxtapositions that present themselves in my community. The backdrop of bodegas, chuletas with the dollar store Bamboo earrings, the old man and his son who blare bachata while beating their congas. Watching my little daughter wind her hips to the […]

Monday, March 2nd, NuNu and I went to the NYC BET Premiere of Harlem Heights at the Apollo.

Hmmmmmmm, what can I say:
Fiercely loyal Cancer woman and […]

and people like me.

Depending on the facilitator and the questions, often time candidates are given too much wiggle room to give sound bytes and ambiguous answers. Thank God this was the last one because the […]

BLK GRL has been on its’ hustle! We finally got those samples back for the line to officially unveil at the end of the year.
We want to give a giant shout out to DOLGE from TME Printing in the Bronx (874 Baretto Ave, Bronx, NY 10474). He really came through when WACK & RON MEDIA […]
