Five people who I am tagging to fill this out and who I’ll also pass on the “Helping Hands Award” and those who I would want to participate in ‘paying it foward’:

1. Kweens Kaleidescope

Over the past couple of years of knowing “Kiwi” (not her real name), we’ve become pretty good friends. She understands my ‘moments of insanity’ and I understand her nicety’ness, but don’t make her angry, b/c she’ll definitely hulk out on you. Kiwi is the type of person who’ll give you the shirt off of her back and won’t think twice about it. She’s a true friend, even to those who I don’t really think deserve it, but that’s just me and my meaness coming out.

2. Pumps & Gloss

You have make questions? She definitely has the answers. This woman can make magic happen and her creativity amazes me. Now if only I can learn how to master the art of liquid eyeliner!

3. Siddity: Angry & Black Since 1976

Siddity is definitely one of my favorite bloggers of all time, plus she has big hair like me! Speaking in regards to race relations, especially when it comes to being in an interracial relationship herself, has definitely gained her a following. But of course there are always the trolls who like to email her as well, but she’ll put them on blast and won’t think twice about doing it!

4. The Intersection of Madness & Reality

Rippa, is like the big, over protective brother & nosey brother I’ve never had (or wanted..lol). His sense of humour definitely rivals those comediennes who are actually paid to make people laugh. He has an in your face approach when it comes to politics, every day life & relationships. He sugar coats nothing, and I appreciate that.

5. Make Blog, Not War

I recently met Danni via Twitter, and from our first conversation about 80’s movies, we were a match made in TV/Music heaven..lol! I guess it had a lot ot do with being 70’s babies & 80’s kids! Her blog is mainly about personal growth that she’s made in her life and obstacles that she’s overcome! It definitely makes for an inspiring read!
