  • Benson says Bears tried to blackball him (AP)

    FILE - In this Oct. 11, 2009 file photo, Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson(notes) carries the ball during an NFL football game against the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. When Benson was with the Chicago Bears they envisioned him emerging as one of the NFL's rushing leaders and taking his place alongside Gale Sayers and Walter Payton. A bust in Chicago, Benson is finally living up to the hype with the Bengals. Benson will face his former team Sunday, Oct. 18, in Cincinnati.

    Cedric Benson believes the Chicago Bears did all they could to prevent him from signing with another team. Released in June 2008 after two alcohol-related arrests, Benson will come face to face with his former team when the Cincinnati Bengals host the Bears on Sunday.

  • Navigating an Awkward Interview

    Most interviewers stick to job-related questions. But let’s face it: Some are socially awkward, untrained, rude, or even offensive. If you’re stuck with that interviewer, consider these tips:

  • Ex-Reporter Trades Scandal for Coaching

    McLEAN, Va. ? Jayson Blair knows his new profession ? life coach ? smacks some people in the face like a bad punchline.

    “People say, ‘Wait a minute. You’re a life coach?’ That makes no sense,’” says Blair, the ex-journalist best known for foisting plagiarism and fabrications into the pages of The New York Times. “Then they think about my life experiences and what I’ve been through and they say ‘Wait a minute.

  • Black Pain

    Terrie Williams knows that Black people are hurting. She knows because she’s one of them.

    Terrie had made it: she had launched her own public relations company with such clients as Eddie Murphy and Johnnie Cochran. Yet she was in constant pain, waking up in terror, overeating in search of relief. For 30 years she kept on her game face of success, exhausting herself daily to satisfy her clients’ needs while neglecting her own. Terrie finally collapsed, staying in bed for days. She learned her problem had a name — depression — and that many suffered from it, limping through their days, hiding their hurt. As she healed, her mission became clear: break the silence of this crippling taboo and help those who suffer.
    Black Pain identifies emotional pain — which uniquely and profoundly affects the Black experience — as the root of lashing out through desperate acts of crime, violence, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, workaholism, and addiction to shopping, gambling and sex. Few realize these destructive acts are symptoms of our inner sorrow.

    Black Pain encourages us to face the truth about the issue that plunges our spirits into darkness, so that we can step into the healing light.
