The common thread between welfare recipients and stray animals
When you think a politician couldn’t get any lower – Lt.Gov. Bauer of South Carolina opened his mouth and inserted his foot, at a town hall last week. And compared under-privileged individuals on social assistance to spray animals.
“My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed! You’re facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don’t think too much further than that.”

Countdown to US Senate Seat
To be very honest with you, many Massachusetts voters are torn between a women, who some say sounds condescending, and a guy who’s a ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’, and let’s not forget the true Independent – who’s running under the banner of “Independent” – and it’s not Scott Brown.

Lynn Nottage’s ‘Ruined’ (Winner of Best Play 2009)
Nottage’s play revisits the serious issue of rape and and other heinous forms of violence against women in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It’s layered with deep memories of struggle, shame, love, hate, ruin and forlorn. It’s a must read to fully understand and feel the pain of women who are an extension of ourselves. And when you’re through with the play, tell others about it, and find out how you can help heal broken lives and restore communities. Above all, help us all to foster our ruined women with love, fortitude, power, and leadership. And remind them, once-upon-a-time they ruled Africa.

Triple Negative breast cancer- the transatlantic killer
After watching the Triple Negative episode on ‘Black In America’ I’ve been thinking a lot about this issue….
“The women that are most likely to be afflicted with the triple negative breast cancers are younger aged women, women in the pre-menopausal age range, and women with African ancestry,” says Newman. (source: CNN)
Also check out the Dawn Spencer video diary – it’s moving, encouraging, healing and powerful.
