Recent research shows Baby Boomers go through nine (9) kinds of sex in their lifetime...

During the 1950s, Liberia boasted the world’s second-fastest-growing economy.

It was the way I had been raised and I turned out OK so I figured if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it. I had to let my daughter know that although I loved and supported her, I wasn’t her friend and she was going to have live by rules as long as she lived in my house. I also wanted her to see, through me, that no matter what obstacles you may have to face, you can survive.”

Moving Past Black America's "Talented Tenth": Can The Black "Bourgeoisie" Do More?

Dr Anthony Asadullah Samad, Ph.D.
This is the season for cotillions and now botillions, scholarships, luncheons and banquets, opportunities for those who have, and for those who work for companies who have, to send as many students to college as they can -- or so they say. Or do they send as many students to college as they can?

College has become more competitive as higher education has become a more prized commodity in the global workforce. Even the once "self-made" man and woman, whose entrepreneurial spirit once shunned education, had better have an MBA from some top tier "B-school" (business school), or have someone working for them who has one, in order to compete.
