Tandem Cycling.
My name's Dannie. 18 years old, live in Connecticut, college sophomore. My interests include: hair, gardening, plant identification, books, cars, learning about deaf culture, bikes, picnics, learning about autism, films, idioms, music, shopping, Narnia, reggae, animals, linguistics, rap music, cognitive science and interior decorating. I'm very friendly. I have a huge ever-lasting crush on Bill Maher (don't judge me!). My favorite films are documentaries. I love C-SPAN book tv. I listen to NPR every saturday night at 10. I lost my mom to cancer (11/25/2010), I miss her a lot. Facebook Twitter

newwavefeminism: Found this image courtesy of Clutch Magazine, with the following commentary: While I nodded my head at each of items listed on the comic, I wondered if advertisers can ever effectively market things to African Americans, and specifically Black women, without falling back on tired stereotypes (uh, hello sassy Tide girl). Although I understand the need to want to target specific demographics, when will companies realize that Black women shop, go to restaurants, and clean their homes just like everyone else? What kind of advice would you give advertisers looking to market to Black women?  ( Comic originally from Kiss My Black Ads) what do you think?
