Dare to Have an Extraordinary Life – Dig out that “Chip”!

Dare to Have an Extraordinary Life – Dig out that “Chip”!

Received a note and this pic from E, a longtime reader the other day. She has been a reader of my site for about 7-8 years. She is a wise young woman with the best of reading tastes. LOL  It always helps any of us so much to be able to access and communicate with likeminded others when we’re on any path in life. This is why I’ve written so many articles urging African American women to join or form a network of likeminded others. A network like that is a form of wealth!  So, she keeps me posted about what’s going on in her life.

Evia, hope your April is going well.  I have enjoyed my time so far out here and my dip into boarding school life.  My husband has been working in LA since January so I am hoping to find a position closer to there at a well-regarded day school.  Small town life is restorative,  and the town is lovely and quirky, but I would love to be closer to the big city and bright lights, restaurants open late and CULTURE!  I have attached a selfie we took as the ice plants bloomed out here last month. Gosh, California is beautiful.

I think I recall E telling me she’s a graduate of one of the Ivies. She is now loving her job as a  teacher at an exclusive boarding school. I’m so happy she has stepped out of the “ordinary” for an African American woman and is [Read more…]

Black Women’s Brand & Reciprocity

Black Women’s Brand & Reciprocity

A few days ago, I received this note from a longtime reader and supporter of my work.

RGrimesEvia,

I have good news to share. I won a spot in People Magazine’s Natural Beauty contest. The magazine issue was released this past Friday (with Jennifer Anniston on the cover) and I’m on page 174. The issue is dated May 2, 2016. I publicly thanked Acts of Faith in Love and Life blog & Facebook page [listed under my BWE dropdown above] for letting the public know about the contest. When I let Faith know I won a spot we communicated about AA women being more proactive in participating in our media representation. WE need to take control of our personal brand. A picture of the People magazine page is attached to this email and feel free to share it.


Congratulations on your winning this spot in  People Magazine! I’ve met you in person. You’re a positive, vivacious woman who oozes natural beauty, and who is also a talented salsa dancer.  Thanks again for teaching us all those salsa moves at our MICOMSA retreat here at the farm! Lol  You’ve invested time and energy in preserving your fitness and beauty, and countless times, you’ve shared with other black women the critical need to do the same. You’ve now been publicly rewarded. Bravo!

Taking charge of our media representation is SO critical, per your conversation with Faith. The shaping of our image requires very careful thought and long range thinking because what might make us look good today might backfire on down the road.  For ex., I think that too many black women are trying to be crowned as the sexiest [Read more…]
