GREAT MOVIE TO SEE: JOYFUL NOISE

What's happening? Merry Christmas!! I attended the movie screening for the new movie "JOYFUL NOISE" starring Queen Latifah, Dolly Parton, and KeKe Palmer. The movie is about a choir competition, and the local church in the small country town who never makes it to the finals, only the regional. But this time, something occurs that gets them to the finals in Los Angeles, California. Gospel artist Kirk Franklin, appears in the movie with an outstanding performance as usual. The movie depicts realities of church mess, family relationships, and the temptations of life. I was glad that it did not demonstrate religious undertones that we know are judgmental and critical. However, it did show the failures that we all fall into sometimes with bad choices. In my opinion the moral of the film depicts sticking together through adversity and accepting and forgiving mistakes. I was surprised that Queen Latifah is the Executive Producer of the film. This movie is a must see for the family, great outing for Women ministry, family outing, or date night. It certainly cause for great discussion.

Is Headscarves & Pajamas the NEW ATTIRE FOR GIRLS?

There are so many odds that are up against black women, and simply WOMEN in general! But, do you really need to add to the stereotypes that already exist about us. I'm sitting at the red light on my way home, and who crosses the street. A young adult probably between the ages of 18-25, with her head wrapped, some pajama pants, a coat and get this on her cell phone. I have seen grown women come out the house with this attire and automatically I have stereotyped them in the GHETTO FABULOUS category. I wonder if it is a culture thing or does this take place in other cultures? or is it this generation? But, if you are one of those girls, remember that when you leave the house you are sending a message. That message should be one that says I am awake, not preparing for bed, and worthy. You never know who you will meet, or what opportunity could be in front of you, that you could be missing! #imjustsayin!!
