Bittersweet
When we started this blog almost three years ago, I couldn’t imagine this day. I couldn’t imagine all the experiences I’ve had between then and now, the stories I’ve shared, and the responses I’ve gotten from our readers. I couldn’t imagine the transitions I would make as a woman, as a “writer”, as a student, [...]
What Is and Isn’t a Man?
For the last few weeks, I’ve been sitting on a topic that comes up daily in the real world and in online conversations. There’s been a lot of talk about wack men, good men, manly men, men who blow backs out, men that have been pussified, emasculated, denigrated, and whatever else you can probably imagine. [...]
These Women…Are Amazing. I Love My Life.
February has been a historical month for Kid Slim. This has nothing to do with Black history other than the fact that I am indeed Black myself. Well, I’m more like coffee with half & half, but that actually has nothing to do with the rest of this post so I’ma just go on ahead [...]

“You can’t just throw it in there all willy nilly and not throw on a C.” The crowd laughed. It was at that moment that I knew the night would be a memorable one. The panel had begun and the questions were underway. As I mentioned on Monday, once I realized I was there to [...]
How Murphy’s Law and Anxiety Played with My Emotions
I woke up on Thursday feeling like I had a job interview. I’d been looking forward to the day for weeks. On that evening, I’d be participating in my first panel discussion. I hopped out of bed, made sure that my outfit for the night would be ready once I got out of work, then [...]
Why You Should Care What People Think of You
“Your reputation is the most important thing you have. You should care what people think.” I stopped scanning email on my blackberry and looked up as the words reverberated between my ears. The speaker at a social media seminar I attended had my complete attention. It wasn’t so much that he said something innovative and [...]
