Thank you @oprahmagazine for this book! Anthony Ray Hinton’s story is very inspiring ??. He spent 30 years in solitary confinement on Alabama’s death row for a crime he *did not* commit. I’m looking forward to reading his story about faith, forgiveness and choosing to live. ? By the way, check him out on @Oprah’s FB live tonight at 6 EST. . . . . . . . . #OMagInsiders #OprahsBookClub #thesundoesshine #anthonyrayhinton #bryanstevenson

Southern Tease Bun

6/18/2017

Comments

 

Ever been called a tease? Well that's what I felt my naturally kinky and curly hair was to me when I was transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. I'd style my hair and a few minutes after I stepped into the Florida humidity, my hair looked completely different! Was my hair playing with my emotions, or was this God's way of testing my perseverance? I don't know. What I did know was that this Southern Tease Bun was a simple and quick way to style my hair. Mission accomplished. ???? #hairspiration #transitioninghair #kinkycurls

Book Review: After the Dance: My Life with Marvin Gaye

3/10/2016

Comments

I am a huge Marvin Gaye fan and have always found myself drawn to him due to his outstanding music and one of a kind personality. I have always been interested in his family life, and wanted to know more about the lovely lady, Janis, he chose to be his wife and muse. I pre-ordered After the Dance: My Life with Marvin Gaye and could not wait to read it once it came out.

This is a phenomenal book and it does not disappoint! Once I started reading it, I could not put it down. I can barely find the words to describe how marvelous this After the Dance is.

Jan and Marvin’s story is told so beautifully and truthfully from Jan’s point of view. Nothing in life is perfect and Jan bares it all. Jan tells of her difficult upbringing and weaves Marvin along into her story ever so effortlessly. I can only imagine being in her shoes at the time.

Marvin was such a unique soul and so is Jan. Each chapter of this book is filled with jaw dropping tales of their lives together and apart. Pure love and heartbreak. Highs and lows. Arrogance and insecurity. Sweet bliss and sorrow. Lessons learned, forgotten and repeated.

If you are a Marvin Gaye fan you should read this. If you enjoy learning about life in general, this would be the perfect read for you as well.

Highlights: Black History Month at the White House

3/1/2016

This past February, the White House hosted a number of events to celebrate how African American culture has shaped and ultimately strengthened the United States.
​
"Our responsibility as citizens is to address the inequalities and injustices that linger, and we must secure our birthright freedoms for all people. As we mark the 40th year of National African American History Month, let us reflect on the sacrifices and contributions made by generations of African Americans, and let us resolve to continue our march toward a day when every person knows the unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." - President Barack Obama
Here are a few highlights from the events hosted by the White House.

A Review of the Journal of Environmental Psychology's article, Effect of outdoor temperature, heat primes and anchoring on belief in global warming

9/29/2011

Comments

After reading an article in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, I obtained a better understanding of how people think of global warming and climate change. I also received a new point of view on the types of things that are likely to sway people’s beliefs on those issues.

The article, “The effect of outdoor temperature, heat primes and anchoring on belief in global warming,” begins by stating although there is a general acknowledgement that global warming is occurring, there are wide variations on the estimates of future climate change.  This causes an uncertainty amongst most people, and when asked about climate change, it is likely that their judgments may be affected by different variables.

Three studies evaluated this theory.

The first study supported the hypothesis that “belief in global warming would be positively correlated with outdoor temperature… The relationship between outdoor temperature and belief in global warming was only significant when the outdoor temperature was low.”  Although those conducting the study found this to be interesting, they believed the results to be merely correlational.

In the second study, the participants were given a simple word search puzzle before completing a global warming scale. Half of the participants’ word puzzles contained a variety of words related to heat. This study revealed that participants would “be more likely to believe in global warming if they had first been primed with heat-related words than if they had not been primed with heat-related words.”

The third study revealed that “when people were given an initially high anchor for possible increases in the earth’s temperature, they were more likely to believe global warming is occurring now and were willing to pay to reduce global warming.”

To most people, the issue of global warming is complex and highly confusing.  Sometimes the signs of global warming can be hard to recognize.  As a result, there is a large degree of uncertainty amongst the public about the validity of global warming.   People are likely to rely on culturally learned worldviews and other variables to make sense of their confusion.

All in all, the studies presented in this article demonstrated that belief in global warming and willingness to pay to reduce it can be influenced by heuristics.  I would highly encourage students or employees in the public relations and marketing field and others who are working to improve the environment to read this article.
