  • Anthony’s 42 trump Mayo’s career-high 40 (AP)

    After a taste of playoff success, Carmelo Anthony has a voracious appetite for more. He's polished up his game and is averaging 37.6 points in the Denver Nuggets' 3-0 start after leading the NBA with a 23.6 average in the preseason. The Nuggets outlasted the Memphis Grizzlies in a 133-123 shootout Sunday night because Anthony extended his torrid start with 42 points, negating a career-best…

  • Professional Women and their Love Lives: Money and Matrimony Sometimes Conflict

    Filed under: , ,

    I have become obsessed recently with trying to figure out how successful black women find a way to get it all done. Now, by “successful,” I’m not referring to the woman who works 70 hours a week while seeing all of her relationships die in the process. I am referring to the women who do some of the most important jobs in our society (nurturing children and maintaining their relationships) while finding success in their professional lives. Call me old fashioned, but I think that there is no job in the world more important than being a mother.

    This week on Financial Lovemaking, S. Tia Brown and I speak with Dr. Towanna Freeman, a life coach and women’s empowerment guru, about what it takes to maintain love, life and everything in between. We ask Towanna the hard questions about her business and her family and try to determine the formula for keeping it real and keeping it realistic.

    One thing that Towanna makes clear is that you don’t have to be perfect to be happy. She also reminds us that successful people are not successful all the time. The key is having the right mindset and always striving for success, whether you are feeling successful or not. I can personally say that I fail at roughly 90 percent of everything I do: But it’s striving for that last 10 percent which helps to set me apart.

    The interview with Towanna is below. Enjoy!

    Tasha Smith: On A Roll, Coaching Actors & Readying Tyler Perry's 'Married' Sequel
    Tasha Smith     — the scene-stealing diva from Tyler Perry‘s 2007 romantic drama ‘Why Did I Get Married?’ — is enjoying the success of another box-office success story this year; she has a cameo in Vince Vaughan‘s latest comedy, ‘Couples Retreat.’

    Many don’t know that Smith is a pro at acting roles due to the fact that she’s a sought after acting coach who has worked with some of the more popular black television and film actors on the scene. Why Did I Get Married, 2007The Camden, New Jersey native is bringing her acting workshop to New York City this weekend, and is confirmed for a jaunt in Atlanta at the top of the year. (Official details here.)

    Smith just wrapped the sequel to ‘Why Did I Get Married,’ which is expected to arrive in theaters on April 2, 2010.

    “I loved working on the sequel,” Smith told BV Newswire today. “What was on the page in the script does not compare to what we ended up doing once we started filming on the set. Tyler took it to a whole new level. If you thought [my character] Angela was wild and crazy in the first one, you will not believe what my character is doing in the sequel. I can’t wait for everyone to see it!”Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married

    All-Stars at most spots, mixed in with MVPs and Cy Young winners. A rich roster, full of World Series success. So how come the defending champion Philadelphia Phillies are such underdogs?
