She Wanna Be Black So Damn Bad!
Original story by The Root.You've got to remember Rachel Dolezal. She's the crazy white woman who posed as black for years and managed to scam her way into a job working for the NAACP. Well, Rachel is ready to share her story of being transracial (wtf does that even mean?) to the world. In her memoir In Full Color: Finding My Place In A Black And White World she'll share her life as a wannabe Black girl.
Here's what the book is all about according to the synopsis:
With In Full Color, Rachael Doležal describes the path that led her from being a child of white evangelical parents to an NAACP chapter president and respected educator and activist who identified as black. Along the way, she’ll discuss the deep emotional bond she formed with her four adopted black siblings, the sense of belonging she felt while living in black communities in Jackson, Mississippi and Washington, D.C., and the discrimination she’s suffered while living as a black woman.I, for one, WILL NOT be reading this. Will you?
Her story is nuanced and complex, and in the process of telling it, she forces us to consider race in an entirely new light—not as a biological imperative, but as a function of the experiences we have, the culture we embrace, and, ultimately, the identity we choose.

Vivica A. Fox Tells All!
I heard whispers about a new tell all book coming from Vivica A. Fox. I was excited about this because Vivica has been in the game for a long time now. I'm sure she has some juicy stories to tell and I'm talking way juicier than her fling with 50 Cent!
According to Page Six:
Vivica A. Fox is following in the footsteps of her “Empire” co-star Taraji P. Henson by inking a book deal, we can exclusively reveal.
The actress was seen at Mr. Chow toasting with Henson’s lit agent Albert Lee of Kuhn Projects.

An insider told us the St. Martin’s Press book will be “part memoir, part inspirational. The intention is to tell a story to inspire women . . . What she’s learned from her career, relationships.” That could include dish on her past relationship with 50 Cent, our source said.CONNECT WITH ME

A Job From Hell By Jayde Scott | Halloween 2016 Read
Can't see the video? Click HERE to watch it via YouTube!This video is all about two of my favorite things: books and Halloween! A Job From Hell by Jayde Scott is a horror/fantasy mix that has all of my attention right now. Check out the description:
Hidden from mortal eyes are the creatures of darkness that coexist with mortals: Shadows, vampires, fallen angels, demons, shape shifters, succubi, and the likes.
Seventeen-year-old Amber enters their world by chance when her brother, Dallas, sets her up with a summer job in Scotland. Dallas has spied something in the woods he thinks could make them rich beyond their wildest dreams. But instead of finding riches, Amber unknowingly enters a paranormal race—and promptly wins the first prize—a prize that comes with no exchange policy, and for which many would kill. Soon, she discovers her new boss, Aidan, didn’t employ her for her astounding housekeeping skills, and no one is who they say they are. But by that time she's far too deep in a world she never knew existed, a world of love bonds, dark magic, ancient enemies and immortals.
As the dark forces slowly conspire against Amber, her naivety and love for Aidan catapults her into a calamitous series of otherworldly events. With every immortal creature hunting for her, whom can she trust with her life?

Operation Motherhood: Natural Fertility Supplements
Can't see the video? Click HERE to watch it via YouTube!Me and Aunt Flo have never been on good terms. My menstrual cycles have been irregular and crazy since they started many moons ago. I've always felt that the cause of my irregular cycles was what was keeping me from getting pregnant. If I was ever going to have a baby I had to get these irregular cycles in order.When I was TTC'ing back when I was engaged my doctor put me on birth control pills to regulate my cycles. It worked but still I never got pregnant. Maybe because my relationship went down the toilet soon after that.
