FASHION/ Do You Like Pink Booty Shoes?

Posted by Rachel On November-17-2009

For all the women who would like a dose of "you're not good enough" medicine, Reebok has just the shoe for you! Hooray! Reebok recently came out with a "athletic shoe" named "easy tone" that advertises to tone your booty simply via walking. First of all, I hardly think it will work. 2nd of all, I hope Reebok goes back to focusing on shoes instead of targeting poor women who are already insecure as it is due to everyday media! Objectifying a woman's body is no bueno.

In Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire, Gabourey Sidibe plays the title role of the obese Harlem teenager caught up in a cycle of abuse, incest and poverty.

Loving Day

Posted by Jayna On 10:24 PM


The freedom to love is something most of us take for granted. Like many other freedoms, the right for interracial couples to be together was brought to court and won in a case called Loving vs. Virginia and became part of the civil rights movement. Every year on June 12th in major cities, such as New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, etc. big celebrations are held to recognize the Loving case’s victory. The celebrations are big parties with food, music, and many more at a specific outside venue to make it open to the public. The celebrations show support for interracial couples whom now benefit from the Loving's victory. Loving day shows awareness to society regarding the struggle for interracial couples (heterosexual or homosexual). Loving day can be seen as a feminist movement, because it fights for non- prejudice against women in an interracial relationship and recognizes Mildred and Richard Loving, whom I mentioned in the “Wahine Biblios” section. Loving Day has helped to promote same sex marriages and by educating people about the Loving case, the celebrated day can lead to legal gay marriage and the acceptance of the legal homosexual marriages. There is a website specifically for Loving Day foundation, so go check it out. The link can be seen below. People can use the website that provides a Loving Day party kit and hold their own celebration for the occasion. Celebrations can include a small gathering at your apartment or house, planning a school wide event, going on a special date with your significant other, and many more. Simply wearing a T-shirt (buy from linked website) can help support, spread awareness, and celebrate Loving Day. Show your support for interracial relationships!
