I made a mistake. My last article that I wrote about white privilege, “What White Privilege Means To 8 People of Color,” was flawed. When I set out to write that piece, I had my own narrative in mind. I thought back on my years of experiencing…

In the last few days, I’ve seen several Facebook status updates from friends proclaiming proudly that they “don’t care who they offend” with their views. Dear white allies: If you’re not a person of color, posting a Facebook status to show…

When I think about the ways, big or small, that white privilege affects me, it's the daily microaggressions that come to mind first. I remember being on the beach, watching a few cops bust some kids who had open alcohol containers about 10 feet in…

Attention, everyone; lend me your ears: Total Divas' Summer Rae is back. It's been a long couple of months for her following the very public breakup with her WWE dance partner, Fandango. She even disappeared off of the show for several weeks…

A few months ago, I found myself watching a Barbie movie with my little cousins. Madison and Adrienne stared on in amazement as Barbie trounced the competition in a surf contest. As usual, the characters of color in the film were in the periphery.…

Will I always be perceived as the black girl with the big tits and the fat ass, or am I seen as the black girl with the big tits and the fat ass because of the way I dress? My mother would argue the latter. When I almost moved into a notoriously…

What do Leonardo DiCaprio and Viola Davis have in common? Neither of them have won an Oscar, though they've been nominated multiple times and turned in worthy performances. But when an artist's work is not acknowledged by the Hollywood elite, aka…

At 14 years old, Yara Shahidi is set to star in the new ABC comedy series Black-ish , which premieres Wednesday. Shahidi plays Zoey Johnson, the daughter of Tracee Ellis Ross' and Anthony Anderson's characters. Excuse the cliche, but despite being…

On February 25, 2011, Oprah Winfrey's TV show ran a segment called Get To Know Diana Ross' Children . Amongst five other siblings who have gone on to become prominent actors, actresses, and socialities, only one starred on the hit television series…

OK, I can't be the only one who is driving myself silly trying to figure out where I know Tracee Ellis Ross from. Since she and the rest of her fellow cast members started doing promotional work for their new ABC series black-ish, I couldn't stop…

Rest easy, Kardashian fans. It looks like multiple sources have confirmed that Scott Disick's hospitalization this past June, which seems to have been caught on an episode of Kourtney & Khloe Take The Hamptons , has resulted in nothing too serious.…

It's been a whirlwind season for Lifetime's new docuseries Raising Asia, all leading up to the big season finale featuring Asia Monet Ray's Universal Citywalk performance. From her manager and choreographer butting heads, to family tension, and…

One of French Montana's latest singles may be called "Don't Panic," but to be honest, I'm kind of panicking over here! Rumors are circulating that French Montana and Khloe Kardashian have broken up. There has yet to be an official statement from…

If you've ever binge-watched episodes of Don't Be Tardy , then there's a pretty good chance that you've binge-watched episodes of Real Housewives of Atlanta. And if you've seen RHOA, you'll remember Kim Zolciak shouting "Sweeeeetieeeee," at least…
