T-3 DAYS AND COUNTING! CONT...

Back once again! Well I had two more topics to talk about but I didn't want to add them all to the same posting, so here goes! Sophie Foundation As some people know, Boris Kudjoe married his Soul Food: The Series cast mate Nicole Parker in 2005. Their first child is a girl named Sophie and their second child is a boy named Nicolas. They were on the cover of the Ebony June 2007 issue with Boris and they are the cutest kids ever!

T-3 DAYS AND COUNTING!

Hello to everyone reading this post! How are you today? Great! I am really enjoying myself today for some reason lol! IDK why I keep having these long breaks between posts. Oh well...moving on! A lot has transpired within the past two weeks. I'll keep it short and sweet, lol. I would like to touch on a few things, so here we go! Caster Semenya This story makes no sense to me.

The only reason y she may have an inkling of male tendencies is because she has muscle. That's due to the workout that she does in training for the Olympics. It's a shame that a Black woman can't even earn a medal (a GOLD on at that, the highest honor) without it being something wrong with her. Toda
