The Awkward Black Girl in The Icebreaker

The Awkward Black Girl Adventures present The Icebreaker

Posted by pangea in PGTV on October 8, 2011 | No Comments

“The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl” is the online tv show that follows the title character and friends as she navigates through life, love and awkward situations. ABG is also universal. It’s a series with a black female character in the lead role, but at its core, it’s about being “awkward,” which is a unifying and universal thing that we all have experienced in some capacity. The lead character, J, faces the most mundane and trivial problems, but they are problems that we all have encountered—and that’s where the humor and heart from the show originates.

One Sunday night I went over to Cafe Circa to check out Salah Ananse’s Afrique Electrique party with special guest Ramon Rawsoul, drummer Lil John Roberts, and House music legend Josh Milan, from Honeycomb Music . Ramon Rawsoul opened up the evening with his Deep House selections, then Lil John started to acompany him on the drums . The birthday boy Salah came on to put his touch on the night . Then Josh Milan came on and took the crowd on a musical journey to make it a memorable night. Well enough of me , lets see the pics enjoy John Crooms “Everybody’s Favorite Photographer” John...

Is your butt big enough to be black?

Warning: If your butt isn’t big, you may not be Black

By Shannon T. Boodram of Sway Magazine Until recently, wide hips, thick lips and solid derrieres, common among many Black women, were passed over and deemed unworthy of even an honourable mention in the working definition of beauty. But this year, Allure magazine announced there has been a milestone victory in the uphill battle versus beauty standards: no longer does mainstream media call for its sex symbols to be paper thin and powder white. Instead, juicy-lipped, curvy ladies like Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez have taken the lead. Good news for Black women? Think again. Today, the booty...

My Mother was a Muur-maid My father- a Navy Seal I bare a wound that will not heal As fate should have it, I can not swim In return the Universe gave me gorgeous limbs… I praise the earth and long for the sea So naturally Pangea’s Garden is home for me I wander the world at peace and with grace With pride and pain upon my face Every scar on my body considered a jewel Every lesson in life considered a tool In my hair appears two shells each year The Summer and Winter of my Mother’s tears There’s an ocean in the garden And there’s a flower in the sea My beauty is like my tail fin Only truly...

an end-of-the-day exploration with earthSistas GreenRose & FlowerChild After a productive day of shooting, earthSistas GreenRose and FlowerChild took a moment to relax and review the images they had created. And as the sun had started to set and we had a one more moment of inspiration; silhouettes at sunset. This wasn’t an image set ; simply an exploration. Some of the captures  were irreverent while others were intense. All were casual; a couple of beautiful people relaxing at the end of the day. GreenRose and FlowerChild watched the darkness fall on day well spent. More...

Soundcheck: SA-ROC Live at THE 5 SPOT

SA-ROC is Hip Hop. Sol Messiahh is Hip Hop. They are the collectors, the creators, the performers, the priests, the mad scientists of Hip Hop and I became one of the converted, one night in late February of 2011. It was a cold, dark night in Atlanta’s Little 5 Points (L5P) district; the traditionally artsy/alternative neighborhood of the ATL (think SoHo in NYC.) I was at the Journey of the Starseed album release concert at THE 5 SPOT and SA-ROC was the star. But with the likes of Starchile, staHHr, Boog Brown, Nappy Roots and Khalilah Ali in the house, much of Atlanta’s hottest underground...

SUCCESS on Food Portion Sizes

Posted by Angela Emory in Elevation by Success on September 17, 2011 | No Comments

Alot of times, we fail at our diets due to the portion of our food. Portions of food have gotten bigger and bigger. Fast food restaurants serve super-sized meals for just a few cents extra, and regular sit-down restaurants serve larger portions than necessary for a healthy balanced meal. These large portions can sneak into your home too, when you grab a typical bag of potato chips and eat the whole thing, or slug down a 20 ounce bottle of soda. The problem with this portion distortion is the tendency to eat whatever is in front of you, and overeating may lead to gaining unwanted pounds. Even healthy...
