14 Jun2013 By 11 Comments
Tie the Knot Tuesday alum Camille and her dad are all smiles during her reception.

My role wasn’t that of a father, but often not too far off of that course.
So, here’s how life taught me a lesson: [Read more...]

I’ll be honest, I haven’t read the book and I’m not sure if I will but a whole lot of Black women have and will so I want to know what you all were feeling about the book and the messages in it.
