The Black Ivy League

If you go to schools like Harvard, Yale, Stanford etc. you literally have unlimited access to the "American" preppy lifestyle. African Americans seeking higher education at places like the aforementioned schools don't have the custom made blazers, polos, ties, or even crests that their white counterparts seem to afford. So as we delve into the discussion of "The Black Ivy League" a consideration for the oldest schools set aside to contribute to African American education. If we want to be considered ivy league, we need to start dressing the part. I've talked to girls at Spelman that seem to think the uniform at Morehouse is Sperry's, khakis, and a polo, we need to start branching off a little more into that sophisticated, colorful, stylish yet classic, prep look. Living in ATL where the locals are already #poloshawty it helps to differentiate yourself slightly through clothes that fit properly, are well coordinated and put together.

Somethings got to give...

The Black Prep

I have been behind the scenes, lost in the sauce for a little while, just finished my last first semester of college. Im on the job hunt, hungry as ever, but I am going to start a few projects that have been looming in my mind for a while now. So with that being said, this blog should change significantly over the next few weeks leading up into the New Year 2011 (why wait till the new year to make changes you can make today?) I am going to change this to a black preppy blog, not unlike the ones you have seen elsewhere on the internet, but I am thinking about starting up a small accessories line catered to the prep community. Also, Please be on the lookout for upcoming news regarding CHIT we might be out of sight right now, but don't think for a minute we aren't making moves.

Things you can expect to see on the site in the next few weeks:

Store Features
New Permanent and Guest Blog contributors
Clothing Selections
Editorial Spreads
Poetry
Suggested Readings
How To

Now don't get me wrong, we are going to continue to provide you with the culture you seek, just in a slightly more organized manner.

Sincerely,

So I recently graduated from Morehouse College, but now like a lot of other graduates and people in general who don't have jobs, I am actively (desperately) looking for a source of income. I havent really been posting using my wordpress for a while now, but i think I'm going to use is as an avenue to write down all of the different things I've been trying to do to make a little change so bear with me.



I have a digital camera, and one of my line brothers supported himself through school by taking basic pictures around campus and uploading them to this stock photo website. I didn't really think anything of it because I didn't have one of those big DSLR cameras or anything, but he told me it really wasn't the camera but just the actual picture itself. One of his pictures gets bought probably 10 to 20 times a month and at $3 a purchase its not a lot of money, but it is something, and something is all im looking for right now.

Click Here! to view the system that I have been using to get started making money with pictures you take, I'm far from professional and im still learning the nuances but you cant beat the check.

I got two or three more things Ive been working on too

Next Day Air

Now I'm not really sure if this classifies as a "gangster ass movie" but this is one of my favorite gangster type scenes from any movie, although the general movie theme is comedyish ill put this up there with that "say hello to my little friend" part in Scarface (that might be a stretch).

The Best Line: "so you thought you was just gonna come up in here and take some shit?"
