The Examined Life
http://theexaminedlife-sheria.blogspot.com
My blog is an examination of the ups and downs of life as a southern, black woman. I write about family, politics, the human condition, and race. What do you expect? I'm a person of color; I live in the South; of course I write about race, racism, and race relations. However, I try to maintain a sense of humor about it all.
