It should be up to the individual whether they choose to use it or not, not any outside source. For you though my Afro-Latina sistren, I will let it be for now.

I've always thought that she is brilliant and a very good writer. A bit messy, but she made people address some touchy subjects. She's so iconic that she even has her own political term (the Sister Souljah Moment).
Only 63 posts but they're all about big butts and it spans over 3 years. Like don't you have anything else to talk about.
