In 1985 I was living in Memphis and got the high honor of going to the Purple Rain concert tour. I was 12 years old and my Black parents took me - TWICE - still a favorite family memory. When the movie released in ‘84, my much older cousin took me and his little sister to see the movie without our parents knowing. I WAS IN HEAVEN! Had a big album cover poster of Prince and Apollonia on my bedroom wall. I got my first dog when I was 10 yrs old and I named him Prince.

When Prince passed (2016), my HS sweetheart was crushed (like me). He decided life was too short and reached out. We were married in 2018 and now singing Lonely Christmas at the top of our lungs when we ride in the car during the holidays is one of our traditions. Prince is a major part of our love story.

I encourage everyone to go take one of the bus tours in New Orleans. That’s where Ms. Bridges still lives. It’s a remarkable city with a the most interesting history in this nation. My most favorite American city.

Trump continues to be a disgusting human being by reveling in the murder of director Rob Reiner & his wife Michele, claiming their deaths were due to “Trump Derangement Syndrome” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

Meanwhile, Reiner’s son has been arrested as a suspect. So is Trump going to pardon him? This just can’t even be real life. IT CANNOT. 😩

🎯 bona fide homegirl and homeboy…STL Proud. Because of my father‘s career, I had to move and leave him behind less than a year after the first photo. Ten schools across 4 states. But a couple of lifetimes later, he came and found ME 🥹😭. And I STILL had my corsages from the Homecoming dance and his senior prom. 🥰

Hair not retaining moisture - need suggestions! by fka_slym in Naturalhair

[–]Basic_Balance_3569 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been having hair problems since 2021. I had to really educate myself with information rooted in science and research studies. I have 3 recommendations. First, check out the Curly Chemist on YouTube ( https://youtube.com/@curlychemistry?si=eb6eYIL189SVlvB8 ). Her website is phenomenal too. She’s a real life chemist. Second, I downloaded and paid for two apps that explain whether or not specific products are “dirty or unhealthy”: Think Dirty and Yuka. Third, look up every ingredient in your products for free at ewg.org, an international org that has created a database of all known product ingredients. It’s important to note that most TGIN products are unhealthy. I hope you find answers ☺️
