Lets go way back. I’m talking more than 10 years. I can recall a time when I was actually excited for 7 o’clock on a week night because I knew that my favorite Black shows would be coming on. Shows like A Different World, The Cosby Show, Living Single, Martin, Family Matters, Fresh Prince Of Bel Aire, The Parent Hood , Roc and so on. Then, nothing compared to African American Entertainment. The thirty minutes (minus commercials) of visual pleasure that they gave me stays with me to this day MochaCity.com Sat, 23 Jan 2010 14:36:05 +0100 http://news.mochacity.com/article/entertainment/1915/where-have-all-the-black-sitcoms-gone- http://news.mochacity.com/article/entertainment/1909/gabrielle-union-opens-up-about-her-insecurities-as-a-black-woman Actress Gabrielle Union opens up in her personal blog about growing up with high expectations placed upon her by her parents and her insecurities MochaCity.com Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:27:32 +0100 http://news.mochacity.com/article/entertainment/1909/gabrielle-union-opens-up-about-her-insecurities-as-a-black-woman http://news.mochacity.com/article/entertainment/1905/let-s-talk-about-pep-reality-show VH1 has picked up a new show which can be considered the black woman’s “Sex In the City”, yet instead of Carrie you get Pepa.
