Women’s World of Boxing Promotes Fitness & Self-Confidence in Women

The title of this post is ironic considering that my name is “GangStarr Girl” and that I originally started this blog as a way to showcase female talent, particularly in hip-hop. But it’s true. I’m over music. I don’t want to be but it is what it is right now. I’ve been in the entertainment industry long enough to be effectively jaded. Growing up, I was a music hoarder.

Dashira Harris, my friend and fellow journalist, is producing an informative documentary entitled Negro, which is about Latino identity.

This is a short horror flick by my homegirl Tiffany D. Jackson. She’s a horror buff like me, which I love because it’s hard to find other people who appreciate the genre. Check this out: Interesting twist, right?
