D-I-Y Nappturaliciously: Let's Make #naturalhair a Trending Topic on Twitter!!!

This summer, naturals from all over the Twitterverse assembled online to tweet about their love of natural hair with one goal: to see #naturalhair as a trending topic on the popular website. When I heard news of the endeavor, I quickly hopped on to post my thoughts on the subject and to retweet any items that resonated with me. Sadly, we were not successful this summer and Natural Hair didn't make it despite the seemingly overwhelming response.

Undaunted, we are at it again and I am very proud to announce that January 2, 2011 is the date we are aiming for. If you are on twitter, be sure to tweet your thoughts about natural hair.

I will be sure to participate, tweeting about my favorite hair products, my natural hair icons, a list of natural hair anthems and so much more!!! Look for my tweets at http://twitter.com/MissMoonMusing.



Hope to see you on Twitter!!!!

Kanye, Kanye, Kanye....

Never have I felt so much like Joan Morgan. Joan, in case, you didn't know, is the author of the FANTASTIC book, "When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost : My Life as A Hip Hop Feminist"

While I find Kanye's actions toward Taylor Swift despicable, I immediately find myself bristling when I see the violent and racist words spoken about him online. An amazing article from Media Assassin questions if Kanye's actions secured his position as the new "OJ".







I find myself so torn about this whole situation. On the one hand, I do not like the fact that Taylor Swift had a wonderful moment taken from her so disrespectfully. And I don't like the fact that Kanye thought picking on that young woman was acceptable. But I do think someone from Taylor Swift's camp should condemn the "lynching" speech, as Beyonce in her own way condemned Kanye's outburst.

All in all, I think we have a lot more important matters to be discussing (health care debate, anyone?) and focusing on.
