Oh, the action around here!
It's important to hear more moms of color on this issue, the case of Mitrice Richardson missing in California. Please log in to or sign up for BlogHer.com and leave a comment on the post. Let our voices be heard: http://www.blogher.com/mysterious-...
Have you been giving any thought to why you haven't finished your novel? How about whether you should self-publish your book? How about building your writer's platform? I'd like to hear from you. Click any of the links on any topic and tell me and...

Father Kills Son Because He Didn't Want to Pay Child Support
I started writing about Ja'Shawn Powell yesterday when I first heard he was missing, but I suspected, as did others, that his father, Danny Platt, 22, had killed the 2-year-old.

Visited a bio-diverse dairy and was excited about the great things they're doing there.
