eyeApplaud: Thurgood Marshall College Fund

Support us and we shall grow; especially in times like these when our voices being heard is necessary. Considering the changes that may loom on the political front, its imperative that we support and promote progress and philanthropy. The Thurgood Marshall College Fund epitomizes that. The philanthropy was founded more than 20 years ago, with the objective of providing assistance to people attending the 47 Historical Black Colleges and Law Schools nationwide. The fund held its 23rd Annual Awards Dinner recently in New York City. The event featured the Guest of Honor Patti Labelle, co-hosts Anthony Anderson and Nicey Nash, Anika Noni Rose, Laura Izibor, and more.

When Women Need It Most

It seems that the brother Tyler Perry always delivers. We love to watch the movies, as well as criticize, but yet - WE STILL WATCH and crave more.This time around he has catered to our sisters A.K.A. "Colored Girls" as he calls them. The poster here features the inexplicably gorgeously sex Janet Jackson, the object of every mans affection, and wet dreams since the 80s. Formerly titled "Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf" (inspired by a 1975 play by Ntozake Shange), the film centers around seven women and their confessions of battles concerning love, abandonment and domestic violence.

Featuring an all-star cast including: Anika Noni Rose, Kerry Washington, Janet Jackson, Kimberly Elise, Phylicia Rashad, Loretta Devine, Tessa Thompson, and Thandie Newton. The movie is due in theatres November 5th.
