Happy 99th Birthday Alpha Kappa Alpha!!!!

Founded on the campus of Howard University in Washington, DC in 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority is the oldest Greek-letter organization established by and for African American college-trained women. To trace its history is to tell a story of changing patterns of human relations in America in the 20th century.

The small group of women who organized the Sorority was conscious of a privileged position as college-trained women of color, just one generation removed from slavery. They were resolute that their college experiences should be as meaningful and productive as possible. Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded to apply that determination.As the Sorority grew, it kept in balance two important themes: the importance of the individual and the strength of an organization of women of ability and courage. As the world became more complex, there was a need for associations which cut across racial, geographical, political, physical and social barriers.Alpha Kappa Alpha’s influence extends beyond campus quads and student interest. It has a legacy of service that deepens, rather than ends, with college graduation.The goals of its program activities center on significant issues in families, communities, government halls and world assembly chambers. Its efforts constitute a priceless part of the global experience in the 21st century.

FOUNDERS:
The Original Group: Anna Easter Brown, Beulah Burke, Lillie Burke, Marjorie Hill, Margaret Flagg Holmes, Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, Lavinia Norman, Lucy Slowe and Marie Woolfolk Taylor

Led by Ethel Hedgeman Lyle, the nine Howard University students who came together to form Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority were the scholastic leaders of their classes. Each also had a special talent or gift that further enhanced the potential of this dynamic group.

The Sophomores: Norma Boyd, Ethel Jones Mowbray, Alice Murray, Sarah Meriweather Nutter, Joanna Berry Shields, Carrie Snowden and Harriett Terry

With the exception of Ethel, the original group of women was comprised of college seniors. To ensure the continuity of the organization, seven Class of 1910 honor students who had expressed interest were invited to join without initiation.

The Incorporators: Norma Boyd, Julia Brooks, Ethel Jones Mowbray, Nellie Quander, Nellie Pratt Russell and Minnie Smith

Nellie Quander was elected president in 1911. Under her visionary leadership, Alpha Kappa Alpha initiated a dynamic plan of expansion. The first step of establishing a national body in perpetuity was taken in 1913 when Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was legally incorporated.

Beauty Find of the Day!!!

I purchased mark. Face Expert Flawless Touch Makeup in Deep a couple months ago. I guess took a wild guess on my shade since I had no real samples to go by. Face Expert goes on pretty sheer and is supposedly applied with it's own sponge tipped applicator. This how I used it: I shook it really good so that will coat the sponge when I take it out, spot sponged the parts of my face that I needed coverage and then took my foundation brush and evened everything out. the formula itself is fabulous, unscented,sheer but gives just the right amount of coverage, color match perfection. It's the packaging that is trash. I guess it would be good for travel if you didn't want to bring all of your brushed with you. But I bring all of my brushes(ha!).

Word on the Street....

Word on the Street...well in this week's US Weekly,

"Hot Stuff has learned that on January 5,Golden Globe nominee Jennifer Hudson,25, posed for photogragher Annie Leibovitz at the Apollo Theater in Harlem for Vogue photo shoot.One insider says, "She may even end up on the cover."(A rep for Vogue confirms the shoot took place for March issue,but says the cover hasn't been decided)It's yet another accolade for Hudson- and is unlikely to please her Dreamgirls costar(and rumored rival) Beyonce' Knowles,25, who a source says,has long coveted the cover of Vogue(though she appeared in a four-page feature in 2003). A rep for the magazine says, "We don't favor one actress over the other."

Big Girl dreams really come true....:)
