I love Swiffer products.
Swiffer Sweeper
Intensely.
Swiffer Dusters
From the sweepers to the dusters and all of the dirt in between, I love everything about the brand. If you have not yet had the opportunity to use the duster, I HIGHLY recommend you pick it up. It has saved me so much time and money, already!
You know Dr. Goddess loves good Theater, too….So, imagine my delight when the two came together for me at BlogHer 2011 in San Diego, California! I was at one end of the Proctor & Gamble booth in the Expo Hall when I heard someone say that “the dirt” from the Swiffer commercials was around the corner. I raced over to find the actor, dressed in his hideously wonderful and creative, “Keyboard Guy” dust costume, posing with happy consumers.
I had to have my chance to reenact my favorite commercial! I...

They say “A friend in need is a friend, indeed” eh?
Well…
For those who’d like to meet my Mom, you can read about how phenomenal she is here when I wished her a Happy Birthday.
Ms. Freedom was in a car accident and I need your help now.
"Ms. Freda" by Erin Perry
I love this picture and it will be used in “She Put a Hammer in My Hand”.
My mother’s story is the basis of my next play, which is entitled, “She Put a Hammer in My Hand”. She is a Handy Ma’am who built up our home when my brother and I were children; but she is older and less strong now, so her eyes are bigger than what her body can physically complete for a construction project. The investment she made in her home—and us—drives me to complete this project for her, so she can live out the...

Dr. Goddess is Speaking!!
Ask a Sista Panel (L to R: Chloe, Janee, Zerlina, Jenifer, Dr. Goddess and Cheryl)

Mi Gente,
I love Netroots Nation.
When I was asked to be a part of a panel at Netroots Nation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2009, I had no idea my life would be changed (again). We were talking Hip Hop and Politics with Rev. Yearwood of the Hip Hop Caucus, Davey D of Hard Knock Radio, Paradise Gray of X-Clan, Jasiri X of Real Talk XPress and, yours truly, Dr. Goddess of the Revelations Blog and Dr. Goddess Arts, Education and Management Co. (academics always pick long titles, forgive us!). Our panel was phenomenal, as was the entire conference of progressive folks who work online and offline to improve the human race.
2010 in Las Vegas was even better because I understood...

Folks,
You’ve been doing a great job and it’s time for us to expand our efforts and meet our goals for the Fannie Lou Hamer Statue!
Fannie Lou Hamer Memorial Gardens, Ruleville,, MS
The statue will be located at the Fannie Lou Hamer Memorial Gardens in Ruleville, MS, which sits upon the “Freedom Farm” Mrs. Hamer created to provide economic independence for those willing to risk their employment to take a stand and change the world.
So far, we’ve raised $32,000 and $2,000 of that came from Twitter! Great job!
We need $135,000 to complete this campaign and your small contributions of $5 – $10 are extremely helpful. If you give at least $5, we will include you on our website.
Can we put our hands together and get this Fannie Lou Hamer Statue up?
Let a Sista know. . . Are YOU for Fannie Lou?
If so,...
Are You for Fannie Lou? Let’s Put Up Her Statue!

Coming Back to America’s B.S.
I just want to say, when I was in Dubai, I was constantly surrounded by human beings from:
Indiathe PhilippinesEgyptEnglandNigeriaPakistanChinaIraqBritainGhanaOmmanAustriaJordanAustraliaSaudi ArabiaAfghanistanSouth Africaand the United States
and while there, met people from all of the aforementioned places plus:
HollandSpainCroatiaTrinidad
and the list can go on.
Then, of course, I have to come back to the United States that STILL cannot get over Black and White and has yet to accept that reality for African Americans is different than reality for persons who classify themselves as White Americans.
They love Barack Obama in multicultural Dubai. And I love Barack Obama in supposedly multicultural America. Now, I’ve not seen all of Rev. Wright’s commentary but I am already angry about the coverage. So, I was very happy to...

Goodbai, Pittsburgh!
So, I’m on my way to Dubai. See ya in a few. I’ll try to blog or something while I’m gone.
For the dude who wrote all of those anonymous responses to my post: You’re welcome to post here and I probably won’t censor you; but don’t be comin’ up in my blog cursing everybody out. In fact, don’t curse at all or I will reject your postings from now on. And, don’t try to spam the blog to make yourself sound like you’re more than one person. I let all of your posts go through this time. Next time, they won’t. For the record, no matter what you think of anyone else, I would vote for Carl Redwood for City Council as well, especially over Tonya Payne.
Word.
Now, Goodbai!
