CONGRATULATIONS TO MS SUSAN TAYLOR FOR NOT ONLY BEING A POSITIVE STRONG BLACK WOMAN BUT FOR ALSO BEING A POSITIVE REFLECTIVE LIGHT TO OUR PEOPLE. I truly thank you for that, Ms Susan.
And also, I love Oprah and I have soo much respect for that lady…….she is such a blessing to sooooooooooooooooooo many people and its soo cool knowing she establish herself as a SELF MADE BILLIONAIRE….all on her own. And I also believe by her giving back soo0o0o0o much she recieves her blessings back x’s10. That is profoundly inpspiring..she deserves everything she owns and more….GOD BLESS MY BLK PEOPLE…LETS TAKE OVER THE WORLD…;)
I think its realllll cool that Susan never switchs up her hairstyle….just shows life is not all about being vein….I know I love to rock my hair wild and free…and im not changin my style for anybody..hate it or love it….being yourself is one of the best ORIGINAL gifts God gave you.
Go ‘head Sue, I see you!…
…and that fivehead!
Very nice.
Sidebar: I usually enjoy reading the “Black History Spotlight” features. Will you be posting a feature on American folk music legend Odetta? She was indeed a woman with a powerful voice who moved the hearts & souls of audiences, & influenced musicians for half-century. She passed at 77. Hope your day is cool :O)
I love Essence although they put the same people on the cover.
@22 could not have said it better….ditto
Wow, Susan Taylor definately shows longevity in her profession! Congrats to her and her contributions over the years. I loved when she used to write the editorial in Essence.
Look @ O posin…lol… cute luv Oprah next to my parents she is my shero she definately uses and shares her gifts as they were destined.
Common looks yummy! Salt looks pretty! Hey Malik long time no see!
Looks glam-fab!!! LOL

UPDATED NEWS PEOPLE
Jan 20 is approaching us . Please continue to spread the news and keep signing. We are almost there people and we are not taking any chances with that girl. They are still pushing for her to perform at the Inauguration. This is an event where the next President of the U.S. takes his oath to protect and serve our country.
Beyonce said (I’m not quoting that girl) that she wants to perform at the Inauguration of Barack Obama. The NERVE of her! She thinks she will permote her sex filled album by singing at the inauguration of our Commander in Chief, Barack Obama.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT!!!
Bush and Beyonce time has officially Expired. I Refuse to let this girl ruin this day for me as well as many others b/c I plan on being there standing proud. This girl is nothing but a Phoney Fraud. Everything she does is to guarantee her a place in the spotlight. She’s always volunteering for Spotlights, when no one asked her. That girl is a disgrace. Enough is Enough.
If you Oppose of Beyonce performing at the Inauguration,
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION BELOW
This will keep her from singing at such a momentous and history making event.
We Can Not Allow For Such A Historic Day To Get Ruined!
Thank you for your support

Video even her fans petitioned to have removed

That Susan is one ugly lady
LMFAOOOOOOO @ #3 NONO……the positive thing I can say is that I love to see black ppl celebrating.
Sheryl Lee Ralph is my age inspiration! I have met her twice and she is just as gorgeous in person as she is in pics. Flawless chocolate skin and a killer smile.
Fab.
STFD Al Sharpton.
OMG http://concreteloop.com/2...dy-long-distance#comments
Hey guys, in one picture there is a guy who stand left to Common and Malick Yoba….you mispelled his name. His name is Corneille. This guy he’s a superstar in Europe. He’s a french R&B singer…
#32 TRUTHBTOLD
IS IT REALLY THAT SERIOUS? WOW….
# 38 I was thinkin the same thing….Now @ #32 Go sit down somewhere and get a LIFE. I am not that big of a fan of beyonce or of anyone but JESUS. If u feel that strongly about beyonce not performing at the inaugural then PRAY for her to stop as you call gyrating all over the stage. Do you honestly think that if she was chosen to sing at the inauguration that she would actually sing one of her anthem’s. Get over ur self. Instead of being so negative, bring positvity into this world. Remeber when you pointing the finger at someone else you are pointing the finger at ur self. What kind of moves or sins are you hiding or not hiding that you need to be delivered from. So when u go and start a petition on someone start a petition on your own SELF. LOOK in the mirror. It is not that serious for you to get on here and post a petition. Barack can choose whomever he wants to sing at his inauguration, last time I checked he was the one becoming PRESIDENT not U!!!!. That is what is wrong with BLACK ppl now we always bring each other down rather than lifting each other up….
@#3- NO NO-……are you RETARDED??????? Seriously..??
Love Common so much! He is such a real men!!
But the guy he is standing with is named CORNEILLE and not CORNIELLE.
Woooooo Common Is Sooooo Yummy!!!!!!!!!!
Some people need to actually READ before posting silly questions…*rolls eyes*
Anyway, everyone looks nice and classy..
Congrats Susan Taylor !!!!!!!!
***************Does anyone know why Susan Taylor always wears her hair like that?
Has she ever said?
Salt is so beautiful, she always looks classy.
@ # 2..Oprah aint loosing a damn pound..SMH!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE MISA!!!!
SHE IS FLY, FIERCE AND HER STYLING HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON POINT.
MARY AND KIM HAVEN’T BEEN FLY SINCE SHE STOPPED STYLING THEM.
TOO BAD HER CLOTHES WERE OVERPRICED AND CHYNADOLL DIDN’T TAKE OFF.
Oprah is loosing weight. I guess her arms are the last to go.
#47, I love Misa too! Always have! #48, some people never lose their arms, no matter how much they lose. Salt always looks good. Love Common! Phyllis’s locs are lovely. Sheryl looks great for her age.
Somebody PLEEEEEAAASSSEEE tell Susan to stop braiding her hair.. I’m all for braids. Nothing wrong w/ braids. I rock braids from time to time. But constantly braiding your hair like that can f*ck up your edges!! Just look @ Brandy… If Susan keeps it up her hairline would start at the back of her head
Common n Oprah looking GOOD!
CONGRATS Susan and Essence!!!
@ # 3, please tell me you are being sarcastic, right? I mean, you DID read the topic of this post, right?
I see Malik Yoba’s lips are still ASHY after all these years. Pls. someone hand him some Carmex.
I was just wondering what happened to Misa and here she is…
Oprah looks like she is trying to get sexy with Roland Martin.
her 5 head is so out there she needs bangs asap
I was there!! i actually got to interview Oprah!! My interview was running on NY1. Studio 9 stand up!! And Oprah gave away 1 million dollars not just 500k to Susan’s new mentoring program, she doubled the amount at the end of her speech. Such an amazing woman. Im a singer, check me out, Shameless plug people LOL.
