JULY/AUGUST ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

Time flies, can you believe we are already past the half year mark? Just the other day we welcomed the New Year with long lists of resolutions. Well, the year doesn’t feel so new anymore, it’s that time of the year when energy levels sink, we get sucked into the routine of life and many times become complacent. All these are symptoms of Mid Year blues.

MAY/JUNE ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY- 18 - 2011

Growing up, I was a ‘someday girl’. I had dreams of someday publishing a book, someday working for a newspaper, someday being an editor, someday. Until one day many years later I woke up to the realization that someday was today; the only assurance we have, not 2 years from now or tomorrow but today.

APRIL ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

For some April habitually brings in to mind Spring; sunshine, blooming flowers, the green of trees and sliding into flip flops. For me, April is just April because luckily where I live the beauty of ‘Spring’ and getting high on Vitamin D is something I experience every day.

MARCH ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

As I kid, one of my all time favorite TV shows was 'The Jefferson’s'. As I write this, the theme song is playing in my head. “Well we’re movin’ on up, to the east side, moving on up, to a deluxe apartment in the sky. Moving on up, to the east side, moving on up,we finally got a piece of the pie.

FEBRUARY ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

February is a special month, apart from the red roses, boxes of chocolate, great deals and the romance, it’s also the month we celebrate the history and contributions of African American men and women to society in the name of Black History Month.

JANUARY ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18- 2011

Happy New Year!Yes, I know I'm a little late on the wishes just like the way I'm late with our new January Issue but it's finally here. New year, new layout, new name, basically, new things. Its all about the new new! For all those who knew this blog as The Ladies Room, I now introduce you to AfroElle; a blog for women of afro-descent from all over the world.

DECEMBER ISSUE

Posted by Editor On JULY - 18 - 2011

The year has literally flown by, I can't believe it's already December. To many, December is a month of in depth self evaluation and stock taking; taking that walk down memory lane to see if you accomplished the goals you set at the beginning of the year.It's also about looking at your present to see what has worked for you or what you need to eliminate before you head on to the new year.

Editor's Note: Taking Stock

Posted by AfroElle On 1:40 PM
Dear Readers,

The year has literally flown by, I can't believe it's already December. To many, December is a month of in depth self evaluation and stock taking; taking that walk down memory lane to see if  you accomplished the goals you set at the beginning of the year.It's also about looking at your present to see what has worked for you or what you need to eliminate before you head on to the new year.

Just the other day I started this blog as an avenue for women from all walks of life to talk about their daily achievements and struggles and to encourage each other through interviews , features and discussions. That was in May, six months later and this blog has grown in terms of content, readership and interaction.

I have enjoyed compiling every issue of The Ladies Room and in the process met ,interacted and networked with great individuals. With growth comes room for bigger better things. It is my desire to keep you coming back to The Ladies Room. I'm looking forward to bringing to you more diverse, empowering and entertaining issues in the future, but for now let me give you a preview of the eye candy inspiration in our current issue.

On the cover of the December issue we feature US based part-time Kenyan model and broadcast journalism student Bornah Adanya Anaelik. Inside the issue, learn more about the 'No Means No' anti-rape campaign under the leadership of Adelaide Onyango. Share in The Rojas' love story of how they met and learn how Chinelle Rojas copes with being an army wife. Get up close and personal with Rwandese author, poet, human rights activist and motivational speaker, Ornella Umubyeyi and find out why this 20 year old believes wisdom and humility are the true keys to success. Get inspired by 'powerful poetic words' of Tanzanian born UK based poet Jacque Kabacha also known as Pretty Poet.

Join the round table discussion with three ladies who are talking about their experience with online dating. Share your thoughts on Tyler Perry's latest movie release 'For Colored Girls in our reviews. Learn more about the sisterpreneur behind Etnah's Jewelry and get tips on what you need to know if you want to start your own business. December is the signature month for office parties, family gatherings and celebrations, fashion designer Claire takes us through a Do.It.Yourself tutorial on how to make a 'Little Fascinator'.

It's my hope that you will enjoy this month's issue. The Ladies Room cannot be a place of open arms and hearty conversations without you. I look forward to your comments, suggestions and articles. 

Happy Month of December!
