Ladies First.................

In honor of Women’s History Month, we decided to write a little something honoring all of the women throughout history and in our lives. First, we want to thank our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, and friends. We love ya’ll and who else can you turn to if none of these women???!! I email my mother and aunt all day at work (ya’ll know how that is!) LOL! We laugh, argue, disagree, and with each other, and would’t trade any of them for the world…KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO!

One of the most ironic firsts is that this month in 1872, the first woman presidential candidate, Victoria Woodhull, was announced when she was nominated to the Equal Rights Party. Her supporters included trade unionists, women’s suffragists and socialists. (Women weren’t permitted to vote until 1920, however, they could run for office.) Although Woodhull is recognized as being the first woman to run for president, some historians question the legality of her campaign. In particular, she wasn’t yet 35, the constitutionally mandated age to run for president. WHATEVER. She was 34! Victoria was called everything from a witch to a prostitute for being an “overt” women’s rights activist. (Think about Hillary being treated like Obama in the media every day.) LOL, ok seriously…

She died in 1927 in England, still active in the women’s suffrage movement. And thank you, Victoria Woodhull, your name still lives on today because of what your accomplishments mean. Women have been on the presidential ticket in most elections since then, with a break from 1888-1940 and 1940-1968.

Bessie Coleman was a Black woman who held a distinction that no other American had, no matter what race, which made her stand out from the pack. She was the First African-American female pilot and first American to get an international pilot license. Rejected by American flight schools because she was a woman and African-American, Coleman traveled to Paris in 1920 where she became the only non-white student at the flight school. There, she learned to fly Nieuport biplanes and earned the first International Pilot’s License issued to an American.

Coleman returned in America in 1921 and her accomplishments as the country’s first African-American female pilot turned her into a celebrity. She appeared on newsreels, performed at air shows and gave lectures to other African-Americans on pursuing aviation careers. She hoped to open a flight school for black pilots.

With almost enough money to open her school, Coleman died in an accident at an air show in 1926. She was killed after being thrown from her plane. For more information on influential first women, click here, http://lifestyle.msn.com/MindBodyandSoul/womens_history_month.aspx

Ms Ciara and Nelly have a secret...........Yes they are sneaking around, its a secret because Ciara is exclusive with 50cent. NO ITS NOT A RUMOR. And you know Nelly...on again off again with the Ashanti. Well this same source also states that Ciara and Ashanti was caught kissing, so I guess they are both sneaking around. Guess the secret is out and poor 50 is left out.

The judge let TI go to church this past Sunday for Easter. TI has been spotted talking with the preacher after service was over for a very long time at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. They said he is thinking about being a minister. Go head TI a true hustla...that's right serve the lord. AMEN
