This issue bears close to my heart. I am the oldest of 9: 2 lil' brothers, 2 lil' sisters, and 4 stepsisters and all but 1 of them is mixed. After me and my sister next to me, my mom decided that she was done with black men. Then, the only all black sister I have, married a white man.

I sort of kinda feel its my duty to keep my family black, and that I have to marry and have kids with a black man. I'm not really attracted to white men anyway, except for Channing Tatum

Now that is a fine white boy!

Anyway, I want to know what you all in blog world feel about the first night of the series. Tonight they will be discussing Breast Cancer in African American Women.
