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.

Lets Meet In The Ladies Room

Posted by AfroElle On 5:00 AM 0 thoughts

They sat in that busy quaint café; watching the crowd of people simultaneously walk in and out. But their minds were not there. Aggie stretched out her hand to hold that of her friend in support. She assured her that she would be okay because she had been there once; at a different point in her life she had gone through the same thing. She too had lied that she had fallen down the stairs and used make up to conceal the bruises on her face and the abuse that was happening behind closed doors.

‘Ladies, your orders please?’ The waitress interrupted their thoughts, clearly oblivious of what was going on. Cheryl wiped any evidence of tears and took the menu.

This blog is taken from the idea of a normal Ladies Room; a place where we all go to powder our nose, to straighten the skirts and for some, to have intimate conversations about the IT guy on second floor.

Sister, daughter, mother, aunt, friend; The Ladies Room is a blog for the everyday woman. It doesn't matter if you are a single mother struggling to make ends meet or working your way through college, we are at one point or another confronted by similar circumstances. There are few places where women feel comfortable to just sit and discuss issues. In the Ladies Room we will talk about it all, from relationships to spirituality, life and motivation. We will meet to share and listen to the stories, to recount the sorrows and joys, to offer each other encouragement and support.

Welcome to the Ladies Room; a place of release and comfort, of hearty conversations and open arms.
