The first thing you can do is respect her. Even when she’s being a ninny, even when she’s being a bitch, especially when she’s feeling simple or low or like a loser.

Recent ODU graduate with a BA in English has a hard time finding a non-coffeeshop and nannying gig. Mira lets her know what’s what.

If your gal pals aren’t pouncing on you, it’s probably got more to do with your attitude and your self esteem and less to do with the size of your ass.

All of us, when in our element, become instantly more open, accessible, interesting and highly appealing.

It’s downright inspiring to be in the presence of someone who so openly admits to kicking ass and taking names and, honestly speaking, there’s nothing brute or thug-like about it. I look at her and think: People are mighty.

Let her count the ways she loves you this Valentine’s Day weekend.

Mira breaks out her Sunday best for the world famous Harlem Gospel Choir.

I am single because I want to be. For any of you reading right now thinking Yeah, right, let me humbly suggest that your worldview might be what we ladies call man-centric or misogynistic. K? Thnx.
