Despite the pictures you may see of me with straight hair, I am a curly girl ususally. Sometimes I’ll get into a tussle with the hair dryer and end up with straight hair, but if you see me dropping off my
kindergartener in the morning, you’ll see a mass of curly hair. Either way, in the years that I’ve been taking care of my hair, I’ve noticed the biggest problem with my hair is that it needs, craves moisture.
I’ve used numerous treatments on my hair, all of which do work, but I wanted to share the Hot Oil Hair treatment.
Now, you can purchase those little tubes of oil in the store for a buck or two, but listen to me, you can do your hot oil hair treatment for free. I say for free because you probably all ready have what you
need right at home i
n your cabinet.
Ingredients you will need: Olive oil or soybean oil….that’s it! Of course you can get fancy if you like, but it’s the oil that counts, so I like to stick to the basics.
Depending on the amount of hair that you have, heat a 1/2 to a cup of olive oil in the microwave. I usually use a mug and heat up my olive oil in that. Heat for about 45 seconds to 1 min, depending on the power of your microwave.
BE CAREFUL THE OIL IS HOT! Please test the the oil before applying it to your scalp. Hot oil can burn!!! No, I haven’t been burned, but I did have an “owie” moment with my fingers. You can use an cotton ball to apply the oil to the scalp and roots. Be sure to saturate the hair as much as you can.
Pop a shower cap on your head and relax for about 15 minutes, or as long as you want.
Rinse your hair with warm water – since I’m natural, the more oil that is sort of “left over” the better. Rinse as much as you wish, then towel dry.

My work is all about solutions. You are in charge - you can create a great future for yourself.
Here's to your success!

Blogging is an easy and creative way to help you generate exposure for your business. Not only is it a useful marketing tool to drive traffic to your website but it also provides a way for you to build a community of people to connect with. You can use a blog to share your business expertise and knowledge, keep customers updated on new products or services, and even communicate with your readers and request feedback.
How do you use a blog to generate exposure?
Think of it as being an informational portal to your business. You can create various pages on your blog including descriptions of products, services you offer, the latest news in your industry or current specials and promotions.
Providing a subscription option by email or RSS feed is a great way for readers to stay up-to-date with what’s going on. Having an RSS feed will also help you generate exposure because of the distribution throughout the many RSS directories.
You’ll also want to be sure you keep your blog fresh by writing new content regularly. Share links to your latest posts on your social network sites such as, Facebook and Twitter to encourage new readers.
Another great way to generate exposure is to interact with your readers. Ask questions and always respond to comments. Including guest posts and interviews also helps with audience participation and will increase your visibility in the blogosphere.

These are just a few tricks of the trade I have been learned. Please take a few moments to visit March blog at blog.tcmandassociates.
I did it. With a few quick key strokes, I joined the growing number of wonderful women posting their inspirational stories on Pepsi We Inspire, a community blog for African American Women. Pepsi's new community is quickly building a buzz. It includes icons Queen Latifah, Raven-Symoné, Thandie Newton, Keyshia Cole, Dr. Robin L. Smith and Taraji Henson. It also includes a social component, that always each and everyone of us to become storytellers, sharing stories of inspiration on the topics of beauty, laughter, joy, hope, wisdom, and love. I recently added my first two posts. One on love and another on wisdom.
Quiet as its kept, I've been building social networks for African American Women and Mothers for years now, so I clearly see the value of the Pepsi We Inspire community. I am slowly, but surely noticing a growing push within large companies to invest more time in marketing to the African American community online and offline and I like that. Our spending power is great and clearly should not be ignored.

HI All.
In 2000 my medical team (it was that bad) told me in ten years I would be in a wheel chair with my head bent on my chest. That's if I was still here. I said , Thank you and fired them.
I got on my knees and said "Ok Lord" three times before if I had been Catholic I would have been given the last rites. and you showed who's in charge.
Now its up to you again. Ten years later I'm still standing, head high.
Thank you Lord.

The bangles are made in South Africa in copper, silver, gold and platinum and the project empowers those affected by HIV AIDS, providing employment through the production of the bangles and the handmade packaging. Every 46664 Bangle sold generates funds, builds skills, creates jobs, and raises awareness of HIV AIDS prevention. The bracelet carries a global message about social responsibility as people worldwide wear the bangle with pride, inspired by the leadership of Mr. Mandela.
Every bangle is also engraved with a digital imprint of Nelson Mandela’s hand. Each bangle has a unique serial number to track online the project benefiting from the bangle purchase.

A DYNAMIC HIV / AIDS FILM TRAILER - A MUST SEE FOR ALL WOMEN
This little known story has met a just conclusion, as Sophia Stewart, African American author of The Matrix will finally receive her just due from the copyright infringement of her original work!!!
A six-year dispute has ended involving Sophia Stewart, the Wachowski Brothers, Joel Silver and Warner Brothers. Stewart's allegations, involving copyright infringement and racketeering, were received and acknowledged by the Central District of California, Judge Margaret Morrow presiding.
Stewart, a New Yorker who has resided in Salt Lake City for the past five years, will recover damages from the films, The Matrix I, II and III, as well as The Terminator and its sequels. She will soon receive one of the biggest payoffs in the history of Hollywood , as the gross receipts of both films and their sequels total over 2.5 billion dollars.
Stewart filed her case in 1999, after viewing the Matrix, which she felt had been based on her manuscript, 'The Third Eye,' copyrighted in 1981. In the mid-eighties Stewart had submitted her manuscript to an ad placed by the Wachowski Brothers, requesting new sci-fi works..
According to court documentation, an FBI investigation discovered that more than thirty minutes had been edited from the original film, in an attempt to avoid penalties for copyright infringement. The investigation also stated that 'credible witnesses employed at Warner Brothers came forward, claiming that the executives and lawyers had full knowledge that the work in question did not belong to the Wachowski Brothers.' These witnesses claimed to have seen Stewart's original work and that it had been 'often used during preparation of the motion pictures.' The defendants tried, on several occasions, to have Stewart's case dismissed, without success.
Stewart has confronted skepticism on all sides, much of which comes from Matrix fans, who are strangely loyal to the Wachowski Brothers. One on-line forum, entitled Matrix Explained has an entire section devoted to Stewart. Some who have researched her history and writings are open to her story.
Others are suspicious and mocking. 'It doesn't bother me,' said Stewart in a phone interview last week, 'I always knew what was true.' Some fans, are unaware of the case or they question its legitimacy, due to the fact that it has received little to no media coverage. Though the case was not made public until October of 2003, Stewart has her own explanation, as quoted at aghettotymz.com:
'The reason you have not seen any of this in the media is because Warner Brothers parent company is AOL-Time Warner.... this GIANT owns 95 percent of the media... let me give you a clue as to what they own in the media business... New York Times papers/magazines, LA Times papers/magazines, People Magazine, CNN news, Extra, Celebrity Justice, Entertainment Tonight, HBO, New Line Cinema, DreamWorks, Newsweek, Village Roadshow and many, many more! They are not going to report on themselves. They have been suppressing my case for years.' Fans who have taken Stewart's allegations seriously, have found eerie mythological parallels, which seem significant in a case that revolves around the highly metaphorical and symbolic Matrix series. Sophia, the Greek goddess of wisdom has been referenced many times in speculation about Stewart. In one book about the Goddess Sophia, it reads, 'The black goddess is the mistress of web creation spun in her divine matrix.'
Although there have been outside implications as to racial injustice (Stewart is African American), she does not feel that this is the case. 'This is all about the null,' said Stewart. 'It's not about money with me. It's about justice.'
Stewart's future plans involve a record label, entitled Popsilk Records, and a motion picture production company, All Eyez On Me, in reference to God. 'I wrote The Third Eye to wake people up, to remind them why God put them here. There's more to life than money,' said Stewart. 'My whole to the world is about God and good and about choice, about spirituality over 'technocracy'.'
If Stewart represents spirituality, then she truly has prevailed over the 'technocracy' represented in both the Terminator and the Matrix, and now, ironically, by their supposed creators.
Stewart is currently having discussions with CBS about a possible exclusive story and has several media engagements in the near future to nationally publicize her victory. June 13th 2004. Sophia Stewart's press release read: 'The Matrix & Terminator movie franchises have made world history and have ultimately changed the way people view movies and how Hollywood does business, yet the real truth about the creator and creation of these films continue to elude the masses because the hidden secret of the matter is that these films were created and written by a Black woman...a Black woman named Sophia Stewart. But Hollywood does not want you to know this fact simply because it would change history.
This is why the "AUTHENTIC BLACK OWNED MEDIA" is still vital to our survival and more importantly, we we must learn to tell our own story (Cora)
Also, it could encourage our Black children to realize a dream and that is...nothing is impossible for them to achieve!'
