There was the robust Youth & College Division, but then, as National Board Chairman Roslyn Brock puts it, "After you're 25, we lose you -- you're graduating from college, starting your family, starting your career. Then folks come back to NAACP around their late 40s, 50s, and they literally stay until God calls them home."
(The Root) -- This year, African heads of state are celebrating 50 years of Pan-Africanism through the African Union and its progenitor, the Organization of African Unity. Heads of state are meeting on Saturday at AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, to celebrate the 54-nation organization, founded on Marcus Garvey's Pan-Africanist philosophy of collective self-reliance and economic, political and social unity. That dogma has been embraced by African leaders and members of the Diaspora, including Bob Marley, who devoted a song to the topic.
But in modern Africa, the reality looks far different.
(The Root) -- Sometimes DNA testing can yield results that will leave you scratching your head, as was the case with the reader below.
"I recently did a DNA test using Family Tree DNA's service, and the results are 10.53 percent European (specifically Finnish, French, Orcadian, Romanian, Russian, with a margin of error of +0.08 percent) and 89.47 percent West African Yoruba (also with a margin of error of +0.08 percent).
"My brother did the testing for our father's side. Our father was a Creole who died four years ago. We found no trace of African blood from that test and my brother was furious. I do not have the exact numbers but the findings were: Spanish, English, German, Finnish -- Spanish and English being the highest.

Sometimes self-love is tough, especially when you think you might not be the right size or have the right amount of zeros in your bank account. But Jamilah Lemieux writes at Clutch magazine that happiness and security are about loving yourself, all by yourself.
You have the sister who shops herself broke trying to keep up with the proverbial "Joneses," or the one who will lay up with a man who could care less about her, yet makes her feel more whole with his presence. The brother who will walk the walk, talk the talk of others so that he may be "acceptable" by someone else's standards and the one who will hide his good sense and mimic the anti-social behavior of others, just to fit in.
Be the hero of your cubicles, the favorite around the copy machine or the legend they tell stories about at the coffee machine.
