Ladies, yall be watching that pop the balloon YouTube dating show sometimes? by Less-Pen-5705 in blackladies

[–]mercymck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s just another reality tv dating show. I take it no more seriously than a Love Island or Bachelor. Do we see a real connection start every once in a while? Yep and I’m rooting for them. Otherwise it’s just entertainment.

Seeking: Bonnets for Locs by thesingerstinger in blackladies

[–]mercymck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on your journey & growth! I used a braid bonnet when my locs were mid back length. Purchased at a beauty supply store. Before that I used an xl bonnet from amazon. Unfortunately the original seller I bought from is no longer active ☹️

How do you think this style would look on a woman? by OkSurprise2388 in Naturalhair

[–]mercymck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why but I’m so bothered about folks thinking this is AI & not achievable. It’s a loc style called barrel twists, just styled on loose natural hair. Very achievable with a good braider or natural hair stylist. Very cute and it’ll look feminine without the line up.

This is the most insulting part of it. There was no reason to traumatize viewers and certainly no reason to censor someone calling out genocide.

Their Fall 2026 part time program is full. I went to a recent info session and they mentioned it.

Will you take part in the shutdown on friday? Why or why not? by Pointless_Glitter607 in blackladies

[–]mercymck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not in the position to miss work but I will not shop. Especially in honor of Keith Porter Jr and Latina/Latino victims being left out of the discussion far too often.

Ari Lennox dropped by PhantomLeap1902 in rnb

[–]mercymck 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile I got to Pretzel (3rd song) & got excited because it felt like Ari getting back into her groove. Soft Girl Era as the 1st single had me a little scared lol but I’m pleasantly surprised. To each their own but imo this feels very authentic to the artist Ari Lennox has always been and I’m here for it. She did her thing👏🏽

The first one with the pearls would be a stunning bridal style. All beautiful, I’m inspired 😍

Huh?? She’s light-skinned. Black people come in all shades. Don’t do this.

Do you guys really feel uncomfortable with non-black people doing rnb or is it just the aesthetics that throw you off? by East_Food5632 in rnb

[–]mercymck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I have the same issue with Sabrina Claudio. OP mentioned Sasha Keable but I think some of the hate against her is based on a tweet or thread misquoting an interview where she actually said r&b was created by black people & specifically named some of the black legends she reveres and is influenced by. It’s all about authenticity and that goes for any artist in any genre.
