I get sent a lot of stuff by artists promoting themselves and honestly, most of it just becomes a blur. If you know any thing about this blog you know that I give more priority to artists who have substance behind their creations and who actually put their soul into their product. In this case, I present to you Black Girl’s Hearts in a Poem. It’s a poetry book written by Tira Adams (Brooklyn, New York), Deanna Clark (Newark, New Jersey), and Shanta Duck (Saint Albans, New York) in an effort to shed light on the ups and downs of Read the rest of this entry »

Look Ma, I’m on TV – What I Learned From Appearing on Vh1′s ‘Love & Hip-Hop’
When I interviewed model Erica Mena for VIBE.com, I had no idea that it would lead to my first TV appearance. Technically, I’ve been on TV before if you count web TV where I’ve hosted segments or gotten interviewed, and even random appearances on the news as a kid for whatever program I was a part of. However, this was my first time on a major network actually being featured. It’s definitely something that was on my bucket list and that I will hopefully do again–but better. Yet over all it was an interesting learning experience. Back Story: I interviewed Read the rest of this entry »

Women’s World of Boxing Promotes Fitness & Self-Confidence in Women
I absolutely love this! Teresa Scott is the creative director in the publishing industry by day and a health-conscious entrepreneur who hops in the ring by night. Scott trains women ranging in age from 14-70 in boxing. The certified USA boxing coach founded the Women’s World of Boxing, Inc., a for-profit organization designed to provide women with a safe, comfortable and uplifting environment to learn the sport.

Stocking Stuffers For Yourself or Others Part 1 (The Hanes & CND Edition)
Last week I was invited to attend Kitty Bradshaw’s Meet ‘N Tweet, which was a gifting suite where bloggers were treated to product galore and got to mingle with other bloggers and brands. The gift bags were insane! I got so much good stuff that I didn’t want to post everything at once because that would be sensory overload, so I chose my favorite products first.

I’m Not Really Feeling Music Anymore But…
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. I loved listening to different genres and finding tunes that made my ears swoon. I loved listening to music as I leisurely created collages filled with pictures that inspired me (they’re Read the rest of this entry »
