Service Saturday: The Allia(N)c(E) Tha(T) (W)(O)(R)(K)s

     I propose a plan. Let's work together towards being successful so that we can both reach our goals faster. If you have a business plan that could work well with mine, let's build an unbreakable alliance. Networking could provide you with the connections that you need to get ahead. You hear all the time, "It's not what you know but who you know". This ideal has been tried and tested over and over again. Having connections work. If you are in a position to lend a helping hand to someone in need, the honorable thing to do would be to help someone else come up along the way. There is enough room at the top for everyone. The bottom is where it's quite crowded. If you can provide a service, use your skills to help yourself and others. I created The Brown Queens' Constitution to provide a service to Brown Queens like myself. That service is to inform. TheBQC is all about the journey to becoming a better person and better contribution to society. I want to do that by making you aware of services that others offer that could be of value to you. I wish to network to gain effective alliances. I am just starting out and in need of much help with the blog. If there is a service you can offer or if there is some way I could be of service to you, contact me today. I am best reached by email. My email address is thebqc@yahoo.com. I look forward to talking with you. Remember, "Networking bring Net Worth".

Relations Wednesday: PSA to the BROWN KINGS

I understand there might be some confusion about The Brown Queens' Constitution and the attitude towards men that is being presented to viewers both men and women. I want to make things perfectly clear so there is no misunderstanding. The BQC is not a site made for man bashing. In fact, we Brown Queens love our Brown Kings. I sincerely encourage the participation of all males on all posts. I think it is critical that we hear the male perspective on all subjects discussed here on The BQC. I encourage males and all other ethnic groups to join the blog and offer their stance on all posts. We acknowledge that we are not the only ones living in this world. We coexist with so many others. It it my hope that all people are represented fairly on this blog. Please understand that to be pro- Brown Queens is not synonymous with being anti- anyone else especially our Brown Kings. I want to highlight those men who live up to being real men and are a positive contribution to society. The BQC appreciates you. Please do not hesitate to state your opinion if your feel you have been represented unfairly. As always, I thank you for reading this post. Please join, comment, and share.

P.S. I also added a special song to the playlist today just for you. :-)

Tresses Tuesday: Color Your Crown

It is officially spring, Brown Queens! That means no more cold grey skies. As we say goodbye to the cold harsh weather, we also say good bye to dull hair colors from the winter. It's time for color. I have been thinking about getting my hair colored but I'm hesitating because I had a bad experience with a permanent hair color three years ago. My hair broke off at the crown of my head. That was enough to scare me away from coloring my hair for a while. Now I think I may want to try sprucing my new natural do up with some color.  I just haven't quite decided when I will color my hair or which hue suits be best. I know that it's best to choose hair colors that go well with the complexion of your skin. I'm slightly darker than a caramel tone with a red undertone. Here are some of the hair colors I am considering. I'm leaning toward a much lighter brown or a red/copper tone. Maybe I should just start with highlights. What do you think? What color are you coloring your crown this season?




     

                                      

Music Monday: We love the 90's- The Super List

                                              

Welcome back, Brown Queens. It's MUSIC MONDAY!!! I'm so excited about this post not only because it's about music, but it's also about one of the best decades to produce so much great music. I'm talking about the 90's. Today on MUSIC MONDAY we're going to travel back in time, not too far back, but just far enough. If you were around in the 90's then you remember the baggy jeans we wore (women and men), the dark lipstick, midriffs, jean ensembles, leather pants, big stereos, and two-sided cassette tapes. The music of the 90's was filled with feel good music, r&b love ballads, socially conscious hip hop, gangster rap, etc. Some of the best girl groups also came out in the 90's too. Brown Queens thrived in the 90's along with so many other artists.  Here are some of the artists that kept us " jammin' "  in the 90's! The music is so good that there are 15 90's songs added to the playlist this week! What are some of your favorite 90's artists? Share them with us! Join, comment, and tell ALL of your friends.
