The Good Girl

Back in my heydays of being young, wild and free, Naughty by Nature put out a song called O.P.P. The initials stood for Other People’s …well personal, private, gender-related assets. Back then, it was a risque song. But we all have had to deal with another type of O.P.P. that has existed in the black [...]

So the new dare is the cinnamon challenge It’s always something, isn’t it? When I was younger it was saying Bloody Mary in a bathroom mirror three times. Then with the advent of cinematic crossovers, it became Candy Man. There was not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day. Also, the Pop Rocks and Pepsi challenge [...]

I don’t know one female who, at one time or another, hasn’t wished to trade in this for this The demands for a trade-in usually come during an exceptionally painful menstrual cycle, UTI, or in the middle of a penis envy moment, when it is realized that the world is indeed set up to be [...]

Society was built on women’s tolerance of sleep farts. The smells. The cadences. The piercing of a peaceful night’s rest with manly giggles and the fanning of noxious fumes.

I know Helen Gurley Brown has already made this declaration, that it is indeed possible for a woman to have it all: a successful career, a wonderful marriage, a banging sex life via the book that also bears the title, Having It All: Love, Success, Sex, Money.

I live in a place where it’s common for strangers to have to ask for help. Take for example the weather. At any moment any person, whether they be black or white, rich or poor, could be greeted by this. Yep, that is indeed a car buried in snow. Not too happy of a moment [...]

Roe v Wade is 39 today and as a blogger who believes that Good Girls should be responsible for their sexuality, I have committed to producing monthly content this year that shows the Pro Choice platform as an option that should be examined from the perspective of women and not touted as a mantra of [...]

This Christmas, New Years (do I dare include Hanukkah?) many women will receive the perfect ring from the perfect man at the perfect moment. If you are expecting a little something extra this holiday season, congratulations! Engagements are a wonderful time in a woman’s life. But before you begin to plan your perfect wedding for [...]

I’m not attending church right now and let me say, it has been absolutely wonderful! As a lifelong worshipper, I was raised to jump out of bed every Sunday morning and go to church each and every Sunday. I wasn’t crazy about this all the time but I didn’t argue about it either. Church was [...]
