Savvy Fashion . The color for 2014 is Orchid. Just in case you didn't know. That's in your new dress, shoes or accent pieces. But it is a must. Question: Have you noticed the Chicago Tribune attacks on Black academic women. The first front page story was on Dr. Paula Meres, Chancellor at the University of Illinois. She was reamed because she did not spend enough money on entertainment. Second, it was Angela Henderson, Acting Provost at Chicago State University She is taken to task for incorrect quotes on a doctorate she has worked on for 8 years with 5 academic advisers. Is it my imagination? Happy Birthday to the First Lady. 50 is just fine. How did the Academy Awards people forgetForest Whitaker'sfabulous performance in THE BUTLER ? Dr. King would have been 85 years old, had he lived.
