Confessions From A Black Rose

Over a month ago, I watched the absolutely beautiful My Own Private Idaho . I had a bit of a revelation after watching the film. Which is kind of interesting because it has nothing to do with the themes that were brought up in the film. If you have not watched My Own Private Idaho , I suggest that you check it out. It is hauntingly beautiful and River Phoenix is such a beautiful soul. Anyways, back to the topic of my post. I was thinking about how beautiful Keanu Reeves looked in the movie and how he could seriously get it. Jokingly I said to myself that "he doesn't even need to ask".

My favorite was the Wynn hotel. It was whimsical and it hosts the best show in Vegas   Le Reve . If you have to see one show in Vegas it is definitely Le Reve . I have never witness suc

When I started my War on Women series I had every intention of including a discussion about rape warfare. At the time I had so many thoughts flooding my brain that I could never find the right words to express them.

I would have kept this topic for March to coincide with Women's History Month but recent events have made it apparent that today is the perfect time to raise awareness about rape warfare.  According to World Health Organization( WHO) violence against women is the main cause of death and disability for females within the age bracket of 15-44 than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and general warfare combined. If anyone of you keep updated with global news you know about the mass rapes that are occurring in Democratic Republic of Congo. In the DRC women are 100 times more likely to be raped than women in the United States. That is an extremely alarming s
