Face of Courage

Charla Nash’s story is so overwhelming to hear! This woman has endured so much within less than a year. In February Charla was brutally attacked by a chimpanzee that her neighbor boarded as a pet. After a plea of help from her neighbor to catch the escaped house mate, Charla arrived to the home. However, before Nash knew it Travis, the chimpanzee, viciously attacked her. The attack left her face completely mauled and with a new way of life. Watching this story on Oprah was compelling and inspirational. Although, many may rudely protest but there is a new face of courage and that is one of Charla Nash.

BLACK OR WHITE? : Sammy Sosa's New Change

Losing 30 pounds in 3 weeks, new extreme hair cut, or botched plastic surgery; neither of these issues was the topic when Sammy Sosa presented himself during an interview this week. It seems Sosa has gone a shade lighter, on his skin that is, and everybody can not help but to take notice.

Sosa explained that the transition is due to a “bleaching cream” that he is using for skin softening. The disgust associated with being a beautiful shade of dark is overwhelming in many ethnic communities. Tyra Banks has had many shows surrounding the controversial issue but for the first time we are stunned by the blatant display of self loathing by a highly recognizable public figure. What do you think of his change?
