Fight for What You Deserve

Who said Chick Flicks couldn't be wild? African Cats is a movie that reaches out to help preserve the life of animals in need while still being a Chick Flick. African Cats follows the life of lions, lionesses and cheetahs as they fight to stay alive. It is hard not to fall in love with the young cubs like Mara. Mara is the only daughter to Layla, the oldest and most experienced lioness. Layla is an independent lioness who fights until the end to protect not only her daughter but the complete pack. As the protagonist in the film, Layla leads by example by displaying her never ending courage and strength. She is a single mother who is able to take on the role as a leader and overcomes many struggles. The independence, challenges and loss captured in this film make it a qualified Chick Flick.



Not only does African cats motivate young females and gives hope to single mothers who are facing their own challenges, but it raises money to preserve the wildlife and wild lands of Africa. Disneynature has joined effort with The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and the people of Africa, to ensure these animals will have a place to live forever. Disneynature has pledged to donate 20 cents per ticket sold during opening week (April 22-April 28) to AWF,with a minimum of $100,000 pledged to this program.






Also, Walt Disney Records pledged to donate 20% of net proceeds received from the sale of the Jordin Sparks' single "The World I Knew" to the African Wildlife Foundation for each single sold between April 12, 2011 and April 12, 2012. The song coincides with the movie perfectly as it encourages individuals to get through the bump along the road they are bombarded with. "No matter what your age, if you have that one person or support system, you can make it through anything," explains Jordan Sparks, in an interview with Artist Direct, about her song. This film is a great entertaining film with many lessons and educational learning opportunities as well as a way to support a cause in need.

Where will we live?

Finding a home has it's up and downs and dodging of bullets (if you don't research the neighborhood well enough) and a case of headaches all on its own, but throw in a marriage into the mix and it adds just that much more. The one question that make take more than a few minutes to ponder over is... Where will we live? What if your spouse is originally from the other side of town or another state? What if your job has caused you to move away from your parents, but now you feel like it's the perfect time to move closer to them? In the second episode of Married At First Sight (the 2nd season) , Jaclyn and Ryan R. already had a bumpy start with Jaclyn not being attracted to Ryan R. at all and she sure did not have an ounce of fear to share that with the cameras. But on top of all that she's in love with her job as a sales representative for a popular vodka brand in  New Jersey. Her now husband is from L...

You is KIND You is SMART You is IMPORTANT

How many of us find ourselves feeling low? Has anyone put you down? Was that person that put you down the very closest person to you? Were you left vulnerable and without any hope? It has happened to us all and if it hasn’t no worries it will, it is part of life. What makes this a good part of life is that you will have something positive come out of it. It might not be that person who hurt you bringing your spirits back up but it will be someone. Someone like Aibileen.  In the The Help , a group of strong willed warmhearted women show us all that hope can exist within ourselves. Aibileen and Minny are best friends who have always been The Help in Jackson, along with their other African American companions. They are constantly thrown obstacles and insulted by their “owners.”   They live in fear, poverty and are often humiliated by the regulations the white folk make them follow. These people think they know so much and cannot possibly associate themselves at the same...
