#VIDEO: Talk about heads turned - First Lady #MichelleObama stole the night.

Talk about heads turned, President Obama had a great State of the Union speech, but his wife, our first lady, stole the night. I hope he took her out afterwards because she deserves it. That would be a shame if she went through all that dressing for 2 hours, I know it was for T.V. and the camera but I would hope she is going to get the most of it. Please give the team a BIG TIP as well they did there thing!

Make up - beat, dress - snatched, body - on point, hair - layed - add your comments below...

#Breastfeeding we need it. #Video

This week I saw the Wendy Williams/Alyssa Milano breastfeeding in public video. You know the one where a woman tries to push her oppressed views of her body onto another woman.

This is how you shut down breastfeeding shamers. Read more about Alyssa Milano's activism here: http://attn.link/1Ru58r4Like ATTN: on Facebook.

FIRST THING'S FIRST

If you have a problem with public breastfeeding you must first understand where your problem is coming from, it's planted! It's a marketing ploy to try to force people to buy things they don't need. A way to distract you from what's important. You have NO real need for a bottle, a nipple, a bottle warmer, a steamer to sterilize all the bottle parts, nor do you need that God awful pump.

WHAT ABOUT SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR CHILD?

There was a time in the world were a woman could make money nursing a child until it was of age to be waned. A Wet Nurse was a career path. You as a parent knew that your child was receiving a complete nutritious meal. A meal that nature evolved specifically for babies.

Well, as there was a need for emergency food for babies "formula" was invented. To help families keep babies alive. Now this "formula" had 0 nutritional value to it. And the companies that produced it at the time would say so. Fast forward to today, "Formula" whose ingredients are protected by trade secret laws still have no real/naturally made nutrition. It has vitamin C in it the same way that Wendy's serves all natural lemonade. Some guy in a lab fuses together the right combination of molecules that you find in a tree grown lemon and says, "There! I made lemon flavor" but, we all know the difference when we taste it.

Now, I know a lot of parents choose to feed their kids the same things they put in their own mouths. If every person in America agrees that we have a food problem and everyone in America agrees that the food industry at large need much more oversight. Then, why are willing to believe that something built in a lab is as good as or better than what a woman produces from her own body? A woman's body in America is a thing for sex. We are sold formula for babies so that women remember that their bodies are for sex. We have waist trainers and post pregnancy diets and every commercial is geared toward encouraging women to exercise which includes at least one mom with a walker/baby monitor. Now, I have no problem with jumping back on the bad wagon. I know the struggle all to well. I understand what it is to desire your before-pregnancy body. The reality, albeit sad, hard, or life altering is that happens to very few women. We are not given permission to just be moms for while. Part of that culture is rooted in breast being "fun bags" and NOT baby food. That mentally is what will lead someone to think its OK to scream at a woman with a child in her arms. I as a WELL-endowed woman understand the struggle of my body being a thing for sex and my body as a place for reproduction.

I am reminded of a story I read about the colonization of Africa. In it there comes a time when the narrators grandmother tells about how the women of the village would do the laundry in the buff because the sacred river was respected in that way. It was the arrival of the new Christian missionaries that the idea of bare breast being inappropriate was introduced.

It is that, plus the idea that you don't even have to feed your baby from your own breast. You can buy that powder stuff and get back to work, clean these dishes, cook this food, manage these people, learn this dance, and hold still for one more shot. All these things are much more important. How you contribute to the gaining of a dollar is much more important than you being a mom and how you feel about it. If you are given 90 days to adjust to a new job with benefits, why would you not get 90 days to adjust to a new job with no vacation and no compensation?

Measuring a Year in Goals

WELCOME AMA BROWN TO THE BE NEWS TEAM!

For my first topic is something of a cliche. So, as with the beginning of each new year, I like many of you I'm sure, find yourself reflecting on the year that past and making plans for the year to come.

So, I have been thinking of what my goals for this year will be and like most people I never plan to fail but, I do from time to time fail to plan.

I have three things I want to start or complete in the year ahead; three things that I feel will make me feel better about myself.

Goals

1. Something for my body.
    ·Complete a fitness challenge
2. Something for my mind.
    ·Learn a language
3. Something for my Soul.
    ·TBD

I invite you to do the same. It is forward movement that keeps the world turning. Dont get left behind. Tell me what will you decide?
