Happy National Daughters Day nZinga

I just saw from a Facebook friend that today is National Daughter's Day. I have to SHOUT Out my daughter and Co-Publisher Nzinga-l Austin!

What a blessing she is to me.

When we brought her home from the hospital she was quiet the first night but after that would cry/scream at the top of her voice/lungs - for 8 hours straight! We'd have pick her up and walk with her until she'd fall asleep.

She'd fall asleep for 40 minutes or so then get up and scream and cry for another 6 or 7 hours straight. Her mom and me would walk around like zombies we were so exhausted.

We struggled over the years finding her the right schools, helping her deal with bullying and teasing by other kids, and her depression and suicidal thoughts. She and we have been thru a lot.

However, today she is 24 and although still has challenges she is a talented artist, writer, singer, and award winning blogger and community advocate. I'd never believe that with how hard I had to teach my daughter things she now teaches me things, helps me in our business, and gives me good advice.

Her life illustrates to me peeps don't give up. God is still in the miracle business! 

I don't understand why God does or allows certain things, but I can truly say having to help raise my daughter has made me a better person. I feel blessed God entrusted her soul to us.

Get The Scoop On The New Cartoon Teaching African Culture - Bino And Fino

By nZinga Austin, Co-Publisher of Scoop Publications

When I first saw Bino and Fino it was a video on Youtube that shows different cartoons from different countries.

I did not know about Bino and Fino at first because the show only aired in Africa. It was on Nickelodeon, and on Disney Channel, but I have never saw it on those channels because it aired on these channels only in Africa.

This cartoon is good in a way.   It teaches kids about African Culture.

But the animation and the cartoon the way it is drawn I my opinion.   It is not so good.  I think they could of done better with the drawing.

Nicki Minaj's Version of the
 NEW Barbie Song Gets Lit

On Society And Culture

By Co-Publisher nZinga Austin

I watched The Barbie Movie, with my mom, and at the end credits it had the Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice renditions of The Barbie song.  It sounded better than the Original Barbie song.  The only thing is it has a lot of cursing in the song.

Both Nicky and Ice Spice are from New York.  Nicky hails from Southeast Queens while Ice Spice grew up in the Bronx.   

Seeing Nicky Minaj and Ice Spice's UPdated hip hop street smart rendition of the Barbie theme song made me reflect on my past, family, and culture. 

I liked all the Barbies growing up but my favorite Barbie was the blond haired blue eyed Barbie.  I did really like to play with black Barbie's too and my dad wanted me to be proud of my culture.
