--THOUGHTS--

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."

Education, Education,Education

"Ask me my three main priorities for government and I will tell you: education, education, education." 

These are the famous words of former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair. Now whether or not you think he delivered on his promise, is for you to debate. There's no mistaking however, that education to the highest level, is essential if you're looking to gain access to a certain level of society, and something the 'new' black woman must make a priority. 

Getting a good education, is one of the easiest and quickest ways of climbing up the social ladder and the more prestigious the institution, the better. Unfortunately,  it can also be very expensive, but there are plenty of ways to educate and develop your mind for free.

Wish List Item: Penguin Cloth Bound Classics

To many, the mere mention of the word Classics, evokes thoughts of boring stories, written in a era of old-school attitudes and where the most exciting thing that happened was the annual summer ball (if you were of a higher-class that is). I however, adore the Classics. They are by far the best example of good writing and excellent story telling. Take a look at the New York Times Best Sellers List, yes those books may be hot now, but most are unlikely to stand the test of time. Classics however, are timeless.

Resources for the new NEW black woman

Hello lovely readers. While there are one-million topics I would love to discuss on this blog, unfortunately, I have neither the time to, or the expertise on many of the topics I would want to cover. Luckily, there are people out there that do. To make it easier for you to find them, I have begun compiling lists of several websites for your viewing and learning pleasure.

It's A New Day

Hello my fellow readers/bloggers. As you may have noticed, I have deleted all of my previous posts, don't worry, I have not been hacked by a troll lol.

Part of the reason I took such a long hiatus is because I wanted to re-think the aims of my blog. When I first started this blog I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to take it in, or exactly what purpose it would serve. After some heavy thinking and planning, I think I've figured out exactly what I aim to achieve with this blog.
