Census 2010

The Census 2010 wants us to fill out our RACE, and why is that? As far as I am concerned I am apart of the human race.
But before you feel out what race you are on the Census know the REAL motives of The Census. Do your research, and just don't believe everything you hear!

Below are examples of opinions of other on the Census.

While I don't go along with the cliche of making New Year's resolutions I am going to come up with a list of promises to myself as you should too.

Keep this in mind too:

Losers make promises they often break. Winners make commitments they always keep.
Denis Waitley

I PROMISE. . .
  • TO think before I act.
  • TO tell myself that I am beautiful no matter how ugly I feel.
  • TO not shed tears for those who have hurt me.
  • TO not become jaded.
  • TO give precious time to my mind, body, and soul.
  • TO be honest with how I feel.
  • TO look at my glass half full rather than half empty.
  • TO not lose sight of my goals.
  • TO only surround myself with those who have my best interest.
  • TO love myself unconditionally.
  • TO control my own destiny.
  • TO have no expectation from others. Only from myself.
  • TO be a little more patient and a little less angry.
  • TO not get discouraged. I've come too far.
  • TO treat myself with respect and demand respect from others.
  • TO believe in the 'law of attraction.'
  • TO know when enough is enough and not to put up with the bullshit.
  • TO love those unconditionally who deserve my love.
  • TO keep all of these promises.

“a necessary minimum set of principles by which black people must live in order to begin to rescue and reconstruct our history and lives.”

2. KWANZAA is not a religious holiday. It means "first fruits" from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza."

  • * UJAMMA - COOPERATIVE ECONOMICS: to build & maintain our own stories, shops & other businesses & to profit from them together.
  • * NIA - PURPOSE: to make our collective vocation the building & developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
  • * KUUMBA - CREATIVITY: to do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful & beneficial than we inherited.
  • * IMANI - FAITH: to believe with all our heart in our people, our parents, our leaders & the righteousness & victory of our struggle.

Art(ists): Nikko Gray



Nikko Gray, London born, deserves some buzz and it is my pleasure to introduce you all to this lovely songstress. Although she is not new to the music industry she is making some moves to have her voice heard (as she should).


Her voice is unique, captivating and soothing (which makes me want to repeat any track she’s on over and over again). You can hear her latest on Aalyiah’s revisited album.

LOVE IT!


Nikko Gray is definitely on my list of rising artists to watch!
