***************************

Self-appointed relationship guru Steve Harvey’s skyrocketed success behind his “Think Like a Man” franchise, which landed him a best-selling novel, a movie box office hit and in addition; a daytime talk show. Steve Harvey has done an excellent job at convincing women that they are in a dire state of affairs concerning black men and relationships.

Well…I never brought into Steve Harvey’s hype; didn’t buy his book and had absolutely no desire to see the movie generated from the best-selling book. I recognized the twice divorced comedian as an opportunist. Touting the black male crisis as the source of all relationship woes, Harvey was in my opinion; giving black women an emotional crutch that effectively allows them to become devoid of any accountability for their own failed relationships.

But Oh NO!!! I’ve never gone with every wind of doctrine based upon self-appointed opinions. I’d rather stand with a biblical principle of truth, concerning relationships between man and woman.

De Lacy Davis, (pictured right above), our featured guest this Thursday, September 27th on “Conversations Of A Sistah” will differentiate Harvey’s craze of “Think Like A Man” based upon real principle.

“Personally, I don’t know too many men who’d want to date a woman who thinks like a man” De Lacy said in our brief phone conversation concerning the subject.

Davis, of De Lacy Davis Consultants, LLC; is a powerful force to be reckoned with, overcoming trials; yet triumphed in the integrity, experiences and challenges of what he holds to be true. Best selling author of Black Cops Against Police Brutality: A Crisis Action Plan and known in the community as Brother De Lacy…, Davis is not one to turn his back or hold his tongue in the face of injustice or when an issue is being hoodwinked. 

With too many impressive accomplishments to list, De Lacy Davis has appeared on MTV, Nightline, C-Span, Oprah, Hard Ball, News Talk, Good Day New York, Positively Black and Ricki Lake, just to name a few.

The whole Steve Harvey craze a good marketing blend, but now De Lacy’s going to tell us, “Why women should NOT think like men”.

Hope you’ll tune into “Conversations of a Sistah” on “Conversations Live” Thursday night at 8:00 P.M. I can guarantee you, you won’t want to miss it!!!

“More And More Couples Are Shacking Up Pre-Marriage”


According to a recent report: more couples, especially those without college degrees, are turning down marriage in favor of cohabitating and shacking up. Marriage is still far more common, with 58 percent of adults aged 30-44 married as of 2009, compared with 7 percent living with an opposite-sex partner, according to the study from the Pew Research Center.

But cohabitation rates have doubled over the past 15 years, and the marriage rate has plummeted among those without college degrees, according to the study. In 1995, 63 percent of adults in the 30-44 age bracket without degrees were married, but by last year that had fallen to 56 percent. Meanwhile the cohabitation/shacking up rate doubled from 4 to 8 percent.

The cohabitation rate also doubled among those with college degrees, from 2 to 5 percent, but the marriage rate remained almost unchanged at 71 percent.

“Is Old-Fashion Phased Out People?”


Good day, CEO Readers!!

Again, I oppose the question, has old fashion played out along with answering machines, rotary dialing and busy signals?  It goes without saying that this translates to romance, dating and marriage too!

Can two people come together and find a happy and peaceful medium between the new and the old?

In a conversation I had the other evening with my crony, he said, “women of this generation don’t do what they used to do back in the day and my oh my how times have changed!”

The conversation came about as we were listening to the lyrics of a favorite Whitney Houston song of mine: “Things just ain’t the way that they used to be · Back in the day when a man meant security · He’d be working hard all week, baby kick back and throw up your feet, let me fix you a treat, so it might be love and sweet”

The song talks about “old school love” when he ran down how the ladies today are not old school anymore.

He said: 

  • Women don’t cook,
  • They don’t behave like ladies,
  • They don’t give you anything to look forward to. (meaning they give-up the goods too quick)
  • They don’t care for and/or about their man
  • They don’t trust men
  • And they don’t take off their man’s shoes anymore (The one thing his mother always did for his father). I died laughing at that one.

What are your thoughts? My CEO ladies, in particular! Do you find this to be true or a little embellished?

In the meantime, here’s the song for your listening pleasure. 🙂

“You Read This Blog But Really Don’t Know Me?


I received a gift card in the mail yesterday from a loyal reader.,(who shall remain anonymous). His gift card came along with a CD from “Drake” who is a rapper and a singer I’m told.

This loyal reader wrote the following:

Dear Ms. Tracy,

“I love the new artist “Drake” and his song “Fancy” reminds me of you” “Go ahead, Go ahead, you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh” – “Nails done, hair done, everything done, nails done, hair done, everything done”

Oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, oh you fancy huh, You getting ready so I know we gon be here awhile, in the bathroom flat irons and nail files, spending hours in salons on your hairstyle, in the mall steady racking up all dem air miles”.

“Well aren’t you a breath of fresh air from all these superficial gold digging bitches in here” they get a baller and think that they aint got to pick a career, guess they plan on sucking dicks until some millions appear”

“I met you at a book event in CT and then again in NY and checked out how your style was tight, your hair and nails be done and you greeted me with your smile, make it so bad, you can take it up or bring it down…. Damn I think you bad!” “Damn I think you fine” “You had this brief case on wheels and I wanted to cop a feel”.

“I hope you enjoy the CD and know that reading your blog is like an inside look into your life and mind”

“Peace”

I never heard of this artist Drake, nor do I listen to his music and while I’m on the subject; I don’t listen to T.I., Swizz Beatz, Sean Combs, Neyo, Lil Wayne, Shawty Low, Soldier Boy, Kanye West, Lady Gaga and any other new rap artist out today.

It is understandable how I might be viewed and superficially perceived, however the core of my being is so much more than my fancy (i.e.,hair and nails).

In addition, the foul and profane language of the lyrics in this CD are both degrading and extremely disrespectful. 

But thank you reader, the thought was sweet, your heart was in the right place and the gift card commendable; but trust and believe, my qualities are extreme and far more meaningful than you are able to see.

“On Dating A Single Parent?? – Not Likely”


I received an email yesterday from a loyal CEO blog reader (who shall remain anonymous) and they wrote this:

“Hey There Tracy”,

“I love your blog and have been a follower for quite sometime now. You don’t talk about dating much I’m sure this part of your private life, you keep separate from your public blog but I’m curious to know, if you would date a single divorcee with child?”

“I’m sure as a single woman like yourself, you can come and go wherever and whenever you want too and you answer to no one. You probably work overtime anytime, hit the happy hour or the gym after work, take weekend trips or long trips and sleep in on weekends. A singles lifestyles and that of married father are like night and day.”

“You clearly have a freedom that most wouldn’t want to give up.”

“So my question to you is, would you date a man with a child or children, I’m curious to know?”

“Some of my friends feel, that single folks should date other singles and single parents should date single parents.”

First off, I never hit-up “Happy Hours” because I don’t drink. I do however, agree with his friends.

Dating a man or hooking up with a man who has children is a turn off for me. Divorced men with children automatically come into the relationship with attached baggage and that’s one responsibility that is beyond my emotional scope of reasoning.

I’ve witnesses a lot of emotional and physical drama from broken relationships where children are involved, and would never wish to subject myself in parts of any of it. 

That’s my stance in this situation and on this subject…What are your thoughts, CEO fam? Please share them with me!
