Hair She Goes! Answer: Freedom – Question: What Do Women Want | Hindsight

Hair She Goes! — What do women want? Women want freedom. For women, the end result is always be freedom. That’s it. There it is right here at the beginning of this post — the answer — freedom.

No need to keep reading. That’s it. Make it do what it do. Go. Go now and find freedom.

For you skeptical people, let me tell how I arrived at this conclusion. It’s the remnants of a conversation in my inbox. My challenge this month as is every month is to find out what what women want. Who are women and why they do the things they do?

Women do the things they do because they believe it will yield freedom — for someone else if not for themselves. Of course this isn’t the case for all women — ratchet women excluded — maybe — then again maybe not.

Stand back. Look at the women around you. They want to be free right? Look how diligently they’re working on freedom. Listen closely. That’s the sound of freedom coming. Did swing low sweet chariot pop in your head?

Freedom. All roads lead to freedom. Next stop freedom. Freedom to find a few minutes to call her own. Freedom to do what she loves. She buries herself in her day taking care of everything and everyone just to get a few minutes if her own freedom.

She dreams it to be free. She builds it to be free. She births it to be free. She serves it to be free. She survives it to be free. She loves it to be free. All roads lead to freedom.

Would she be free if she thought to control it?

Are you free yet?

Hair She Goes: Tempted Not to See Temptation – Was Blind – Now I See – Hollywood (and Tyler Perry) Playing Tricks On Me

Hair She Goes! - Stop playing Hollywood! Temptation movie posters will definitely Lead Me Not Into Temptation.  Why black movies always roll into theatre amid controversy?  Oh wait, let me not call it a black movie.  It has a diverse cast.  Temptation also stars the uber controversial Kim Kardashian, who strolled the movie’s Atlanta premiere’s Black carpet pregnant by her boyfriend, while still working over divorce details from her husband.  Yes, I reinforced my glass house.  I’m throwing stones – duck.

Just like Hollywood has done in commercials for Temptation movie, I have yet to mention Tyler Perry’s name.  Temptation,  is a Tyler Perry film.

When the well known, well announced, much credited, top money maker in Hollywood, director, actor, filmmaker, writer, author, action film star, Oscar dissed, rarely invited, black man’s name was dropped from commercials, my first thought was – OK his box office has been down – try something new.  Since, Madea fans won’t venture to see Tyler Perry’s expanded repertoire in film, I figured this was a chance to let Temptation find it’s own voice and audience.

But wt? What’s with the movie posters? All be it a great marketing tip to bite from the mystique of Scandal, the hottest television show to mass attention from social media, but where the stars of the cast? Harpo! Who Dis?

When Temptation starring Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Lance Gross, Kim Kardashian, Vanessa Williams, Robbie Jones, Renee Taylor and Brandy Norwood premiered in Atlanta, I was personally heart broking looking through photos of Lance Gross standing in front of huge movie posters with his head cut off.

The premiere took place one block from where we Change the Game at DryerBuzz.com, yet I could not bring myself to attend after seeing early photo updates from fellow bloggers.  Not that I was invited to cover the event, but I was planning to crash the party, until I saw the photos.  At that time, a debate ensued in the office with my blood pressure rising. It was best I continue on with my weekend plans.  I chose to go to the theatre versus the theater.  And will continue to do so.

Asked my cohorts was it just me, or was Hollywood playing tricks on me?  Was I the only one to notice the movie posters? Was I the only one to notice the absence of cast with premiere posters with vague faces, unrecognizable, and cut off?  My cohorts said it was just me, but only because I apply logic AND history AND know the tricks of Hollywood.  After we finished our discussion, we couldn’t decide whether to see Temptation movie OR even if we were in the demographic Hollywood wanted to see Temptation.

[There's a audio button up above in case you're tired of reading]

Hollywood is no different from the GOP.  They better recognize how minorities, women, and younger generations are the new audiences. I felt so bad for Lance Gross standing there smiling, unable to recognize himself on the movie’s poster.  Didn’t Paul Robeson go through this nearly a century ago? I’m thinking Lance and Tyler have it worst. I know, they’re making money.  Somebody has already tossed in how glad they should be — whatever!  But if this is how far we have come in a century.  At what snails pace can someone go further?

Who is it that makes the marketing decision that black movie posters cannot, should not, will not feature prominent placement of Black Americans.  I bet you that person looks like the cast that should be on the movie posters.  Because that would be the person to further dictate discrimination of Hollywood on Black people.  Remember, it was some civil rights “leaders” who told President Barack Obama, now serving his second term, not to run yet. I just threw that in there.  When throwing stones, they go where they may.  My aim is off sometimes.  It’s also black men who write content we hear on local news which shines the worst light on Black men.  Uh oh, that was another wild throw.  Let me get back on target.

This ish don’t make no sense! The first poster has presumably a naked woman which falls into the media formula where a woman has to be lying, dying, flying off the handle or NAKED.  Does that even speak to a Tyler Perry movie?  How long did it take the brother to put a sex scene in his movies?  [wait flash back]. The poster with the lips is the one up in my neighborhood.  I’m told the one with the snake is up in another – and we’re all asking each other – what is this? FAIL.

Before all of this poster controversy, at first glimpse of the Temptation movie (which I had to haunt for), I was expecting and ready to enjoy me some Robbie Jones.  He looks like he can put it down! Already, yes I was, envious of Jurnee Smollett-Bell starring with both he and Lance Gross. On top of that, the movie has Brandy, Vanessa Williams and Ella Joyce.  BUT — these movie posters will LEAD ME NOT INTO TEMPTATION.

Stop playing this game with me Hollywood.  I wouldn’t be so upset if Tyler Perry himself didn’t tell me personally, at the onset of his career, that Hollywood didn’t make these kinds of demands on him.  If I recall, Tyler himself gave me the Malcolm X Plymouth rock speech, saying that he didn’t go to Hollywood, Hollywood came to him.

Later, I’ve come to realize.  Tyler Perry ain’t that deep.  He probably wasn’t referencing Malcolm X at all.  That was my own interview fantasy.  After all, it was me that once said “If Tyler Perry is Wrong… ” Well Hollywood is making demands on somebody.  Therefore, we ought to make some demand back to Hollywood.

Give me not the argument that we need to prove anything to Hollywood.  Those days are over.  Tyler Perry, other minorities, women, and young filmmakers AND the dollars of our loyalty have proven we’re in the audience EVERY week – and not just for black films.  Hollywood has more than a century of budgets and profits met without hesitation – we need not discrimination.

Time for us and Tyler Perry to demand Hollywood Do the Right Thang! PUT SOME BLACK PEOPLE ON THOSE POSTERS!

(at least I waited to the end to throw in some Spike Lee)

Bottom Line — I’m Tempted NOT to See Temptation! Was Blind – Now I See – Hollywood Playing Tricks On Me

Hair She Goes! Is Being Single ‘True Forever’? — An LL Cool J Inspired Blog — I Need Love Revisited

At the dawning of hip hop, LL Cool J gave us the ballad which took the new music genre and our hearts in a new direction.  Here, a late night rambling moment gone blogging turns into an “I Need Love” revisited.

Hair She Goes! What I Know Now — My Life Did Not Facilitate Companionship — To This Point | Hope It’s Not True Forever

Hair She Goes! – Here in this empty space of time — which means no one is presently, at post time,  asking me for anything — thus I write.  Alone with my thoughts, I will continue this post until my next meeting, now delayed some 12 minutes, or a kid of mines comes around the corner.

It’s the end of the day.  The thoughts in my head have been circling all day.  I’ve pushed them aside a time or two.  There’s no one person I’d rather have this discussion with, so why not drop it in wordpress, publish it to DryerBuzz.com and see where it goes.

What I know now — right now — my life did not facilitate companionship — to this point.

I’m a woman.  I have wants.  I was going to write needs, but I backspaced. LOL.  The truth is trying to slip through — bear with me.

LL Cool J said a couple of words in his Oprah interview that I absolutely took to heart — true forever. In the interview, Oprah asked LL if his song “I Need Love” would ring true today.  LL replied that the song was “true forever.”  Be still my heart.  WATCH

True forever — true forever echoed in my head since the interview.  Not saying I lived a rock star’s life, but it did not facilitate companionship.  I need love, but at the same time….

I’ve been trying to face my truth – my life did not facilitate companionship — to this point.

I asked my timeline after the LL interview, what do we know about ourselves to be true forever?  Wanting to find a semblance of understanding about who I was in respect to being a potential companion, I started facing my truths.  “Truth will set you free,” they say.  But what about me is “true forever?”

I’m at a time in my life where I can actually sit, blog, and only be interrupted occasionally.  I’m at that point in life where there is no need to rush home at the end of a day.  The kids are grown and life can be spontaneous.  I love enjoying the city.  I hate calling friends to come with — who am I kidding –  there are no numbers in my phone.  I don’t save them. As for acquaintances, they usually can’t enjoy an evening at the drop of a dime.  Plus, they have companions.

[Feel free to click the listen button above to have this post read for you]

What I know now — my life did not facilitate companionship — to this point.  This is no surprise to me except when I think about it like now.  I am married to my blog DryerBuzz.com! It has been my companion for the past decade.  The only thing I have committed to other than my kids — they might argue that point.

My last attempt at companionship was four years ago.  WOW. I remember like it was yesterday. I forgot it also.  It wasn’t until the guy in question liked a post on Facebook that I clicked the link to see our friendship and saw we had not spoken in four years.  Damn.

I spent the last four years doing what I really love — raising my family and as you can see — selfishly doing me. I lost track of time. I knew then what I know now —  my life did not facilitate companionship — to this point.

The coming of this new year, (not to mention Valentine’s day), and watching another off spring find independence, the thought of companionship has been on my mind. So much so that I asked a brother out to lunch.  He probably thinks I’m crazy and is still processing the invite.  Unbeknown to him — I’ve moved on.  I am told that I am very impatient.  Men take too much in to account just to go to lunch or dinner. It ain’t that serious — or is it?

I have been thinking a lot about what guys have told me in the past.  There was the one who said I don’t make my “whole self” available.  He had marriage in mind. I have kids with a couple of these guys  — hey, I have atoned for that so let’s not go there.

Apparently, to this point — I was not the marrying type.  Didn’t you listen to the podcast “Why Didn’t I Get Married,” where I spoke with an intuitive who told me at the time I didn’t believe in death do us part.  She said up to that point that I was playing, yet one day a guy would come along and change my heart.  HA! He ain’t come yet.

There was also the podcast with Janks Morton who knows “What Black Men Think” where I slipped up  and discovered more truths about myself.  That podcast was called “Why Mr Right is Wrong For You Right Now.”  The universe will send a message won’t she.

The intuitive told me to divorce myself from time. Morton gave me some homework as well.  Well, I hate homework and damn it’s been four years. How much more time do I have?

Well, here’s the thing. I’m back to Mr Right being wrong for me right now.  In fact, what I know now, my life obviously still does not facilitate companionship.  I tried to step out there.  Get my feet wet again.  But there were all these reasons to pull back AGAIN.  Some are my own reasons. Others from the evolution of modern day relationships.  A couple of reasons I fixed and a few more I will address at some point.

My past tells me that once upon a time, I attracted not the one interested in me but the one interested in challenging me. Complicated right?

Seems like the men in my past all had a bet going to see which one could make me give in or give up what I love so much.  I’m speaking in hindsight here.  I remember a guy telling me “you think you’re cute.” I do walk around with that perception, even on my worst days.  It’s a big world.  I have to display confidence.  I rocks me.

Another from my past once said his pet peeve was my affinity for authors and going to book signings. He didn’t understand what I saw in them.  Damn dude.  Didn’t you realize I interview authors damn near daily and attend book signings often.  The endless bookshelves of personally autographed literature wasn’t a clue? His goal was to changed me.  Let me stop or I will never get another date. Oh wait! My life did not facilitate companionship — to this point.

I was chatting with a guy friend on Facebook.  I decided to show some interest.  He liked to engage me with his point of view and I would give my point of view in return.  I soon realized by his responses that expressing my opinion was a turnoff for him.  This mofo likes “one word” women. Seems like my responses were suppose to only include one word praises.

According to my podcast with Morton, like many women, I didn’t get some key message from my father.  Dad and I have always had serious two way conversations. But our relationship — as unique as it was — did not translate into what I needed to build future relationships.

[Interrupted - time for meeting]

It’s time for my meeting.  Just when I was getting to the good stuff.

[Meeting done]

Bottom line.  I have got to figure this out.  I cannot live a life that does not facilitate companionship.  My family, made up of of couples, are going on a retreat.  I declined again this year as one of two single people.  As I think about entertaining the idea of companionship, even after this past four years, I may not be ready.  Especially if it means what I think it means.

For me, there is too much anxiety to allowing someone into my life.  Relationship debates scare me after hearing from what’s out there.  I’m amazed how complicated people have made companionship.  I have not put myself in any position to meet anyone.  I guess the whole me is still unavailable.  Will change come in another four years?  I better divorce myself from time.  It could be a long wait.

Meanwhile – my life did not facilitate companionship — to this point.  I hope this is not true forever.

Hair She Goes! Newtown Has to Inspire A New Day — We Hope | Listen

Newtown Inspires New Day — We Hope

Hair She Goes! — The day before Newtown we had our opinions about teachers. This holiday season, teachers are on the if list for the gift list.  You know the list with people, where if you have a little left, for which you would buy something. But the day after Newtown…

 

Download this buzz from DryerBuzz.com

There’s a song called Wake Up Everybody by Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes.  John Legend has a popular version.  I’m sure their others. We all know part, if not all of the lyrics.  Day after Newtown, a stanza of it sticks out to me…

Wake up all the teachers time to teach a new way

Maybe then they’ll listen to whatcha have to say

Cause they’re the ones who’s coming up and the world is in their hands

when you teach the children teach em the very best you can.

Comes days after Newtown…

I say it’s time to wake up all the parents.
After Newtown, it’s time to inspire a new day.
It’s past time for parents to listen to what teachers have to say.
We knew they were nurturing our kids during 6 and 7 hour days
But we didn’t know they were playing secret service if bullets came their way.

Comes days after Newtown, political figures, pundits and even cultural critics like myself have taken our stance on gun control and mental health.  My timeline is filled with my opinion and challenges to others. But there is another issue we just can’t seem to figure out — parental involvement.

Teaching has to be the hardest job in the world.  The number one measurement to teaching is graduation rates.  In Georgia, we’re told nearly one third won’t see a diploma.  The school is there.  The teachers are there.  Students are there – sometimes. But what’s missing? Parents?

We know people are hurting in Newtown.  But Newtown has to inspire a new day.  We know parents in Newtown are asking themselves what, if anything, could have been done differently?  When I see the photo of the teacher with a line of crying students escaping their horror, I think to myself, what if she had one parent or two who could have stayed behind a little longer?

It’s a hard question. I know.  But Newtown has to inspire a new day.

Which school, in or around Atlanta, is known overwhelmingly for parental involvement?   It makes a difference in way we don’t think.  As parents, we wake in the morning and we have to get to work.  Frustratedly we rush through our mornings, getting the kids off to school.  We jump in our commutes to get to our jobs, where people really could care less about our children.  We work the day and arrive home hours after these precious lives have been out of school.

We do it again the next day.  We knew teachers had it under control, but did we really know they were playing secret service.  Teachers tell me certain lockdown strategies have been in play since 9/11.  In some school, these plans are heighten due to neighborhood gun violence.

But Newtown has to inspire a new day.

Parents, let’s keep it real. You have time to be at your kids school more.  That 5 or 10 minutes where you stop to get a cup of coffee.  That extra 30 minutes you take on special days to have lunch with your work buddies.  Those times you take an occurrence because you just don’t feel like fighting traffic, so you double back to the house for extra respite?

But Newtown has to inspire a new day.

Parents who double back to the school just for an extra hug or visit,  change the dynamic of neighborhoods and schools.  Being a parent with a reputation of showing up any day, any time, any hour impacts not only your child, but their classroom and especially the bullies and the teachers that aren’t teaching.

Those who have ill gotten games planned for your neighborhood never know when to put their plans in action because there you are as expected – doing the unexpected – hanging out at your kids school.

Instead of piling into the express lane.  Park the car.  Go inside, be seen if only for a quick walk through.  Parents who take time to chill-out in the cafeteria with kids in the morning makes the cafeteria ladies put out the good milk and juice everyday.  School breakfast is not bad and often better than most fast food joints.  The kids of parents who spontaneously visit classrooms get taught and treated well.  Not to say other kids don’t, but there is an expectation made through the connection of parents, teachers, and students.

If you’re going to get an occurrence at work, then get one or many because you’re an involved parent.

Newtown has to inspire a new day.

So as gun control and mental health cloud the issue.  As Newtown goes through these next unthinkable days. Let the resolve be to understand and become allies to our teachers — who are not only educating and nurturing our children, but with horrific events of one town — we now know, have become brave-hearts.

Wake up all the parents, it’s time to parent a new way.  Newtown has to inspire a new day.

Hair She Goes! Women Spend Millions To Learn Who They Woulda Coulda Shoulda Been — Go Ask Your Mother!

Hair She Goes – Wrapping up a season of conferences and events, majority of them female focused like BlogHer, Woman Thou Art Loosed, National Black Herstory Taskforce, and Women Interactive, I came to realize we are not talking enough to our mothers and women in our families. During Q&A, most frequently asked questions  could be answered with (and I so wanted to shout it aloud) GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!

Women exhaust seasons in life wondering from where their inner spirit comes. Add to that, how women wonder about their drive, inhibitions, leadership skills, confidence, fears, loving nature, or flat out negativity. Women spend millions on conferences, not to mention therapy, to find out who they are or woulda coulda shoulda  been. GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!

What we know or don’t know feeds our esteem, especially when it comes to dealing with how we look.  Such is the case in the phenomenon of natural hair, as if our grandmothers and mothers were not rocking Afros <~natural hair.  Or embracing our hips, lips and size.  Also, I find it amazing the further we move away from our mother’s and grandmother’s cooking, the worst our weight and health becomes.  Yes, mother and grandmother used questionable ingredients, but they didn’t eat them everyday.  I’m just saying.  GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!

Speaking of natural hair, we need to ask our mothers why their generation ushered us into becoming the relaxed generation?  Our hair was not the only facet relaxed. Why is it latter generations have such little interest in political and social engagement with no clear platforms?

In writing this very post, I had to think about those who don’t have mothers.  Even if your mother is no longer with you, don’t let another season past without talking with someone who knew her best. Also in developing the chart, I had to prepare for battle from those who will argue how it appears I may have re-written or pruned the family tree of men. That is not the case.  In this particular exercise, I just want women to succinctly realize, through a visual representation, the number of women behind them.  I just want women to take a moment and GO ASK YOUR MOTHER!
