5 Types of Friends Every Woman Should Have

Your girlfriends are like your personal army and each soldier has a vital roll to play in your life. We’ve pinpointed five girlfriends that every woman needs next to her on the front lines…




1. The Cheerleader


Bless the cheerleader’s heart. She doesn’t have the nerve to tell you when your hairstyle looks silly or your pimple needs popping. But sometimes, you don’t want to hear that mess anyway. Your cheerleader friend always sees your best qualities and she’s quick to compliment you on all of them. She’s the one you call when you need a quick pep talk before you quit your job or tell your boyfriend “I love you” for the first time or tell your husband “I want another baby.”

2. The Big Momma


She’s usually a little older and wiser. She’s been around the block and she will warn you about all of the potholes and cracks in the sidewalk before you get there. She also knows when you’re going to get yourself into trouble before you do. Expect her to say “I told you so.” But also expect her to dish out a big bowl of something tasty with an extra helping of loving and a comfy couch to watch “Waiting to Exhale” on when she does.

3. The Paper Chaser


No, this girlfriend is not a gold digger, but she’s definitely about her paper. She works hard for her money and can teach how to get the most out of your job and career. She’ll tell you never to settle for the first offer a potential employee puts on the table, how to save for a rainy day and where to invest your coins once you make some.

4. The Wing Woman


Why is it that when you suck at relationships, all your girlfriends suck at relationships too? It’s the blind leading the blind. You need at least one woman in your life who understands men and is quick to nudge you in the right direction. The wing woman will bring her man to your house when you just need a buffer between you and your husband before you make any rash decisions about your relationship. The wing woman is always down to drag her boyfriend along on a double date just for the off chance that the new guy in your life might be “the one.” She’s also down to dissect his pros and cons with you the next morning over coffee and if that brother doesn’t work out, she’s got a long list of other men on her radar that will.

5. The Party Girl


When all your other girlfriends are laying low because the weather man says you’re going to get six inches of snow, trust, your partying girlfriend is rocking her snow boots at the club. Although she has a little bit of a reckless side, she’s always down to let loose and have a good time. She’s there to remind you that life is not as serious as you make it out to be. She’s also the perfect girlfriend to discuss your most recent make-out session with a perfect stranger. If you’re already boo’ed up, she’s the one you’ll turn to when you need a break from your man and the kids and the mundanities of life.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Losing my grandmother to Breast Cancer and complications from a severe Stroke was one of the hardest things I've faced in my life. She battled the disease for over 6 years, had a single mastectomy (right breast), and see her cancer go into remission twice before returning for the last time. Watching my mother take care of her day end and day out was truly life changing. My mother who is a RN (BSN) made sure that her every need was met. My mother is the epitome of what a daughter should be to her mother!! I remember the day she died vividly. I can still feel her hand in mine and see her smile. I remember my grandmothers doctor calling my mother after 3 am to tell her (us) to get to the hospital. Earlier that day my mother was able to recall having the BEST day ever with my grandmother. They had breakfast and lunch together. They later sat around filled with laughter/love as they talked about me, my cousins, and my aunt. One thing that was never a question was that she truly ...

Picked up by "Codeblack Films" a subsidiary of Lionsgate they will bring to life one of the most known urban book characters "Tracy Ellison" of Omar Tyree's book trilogy that all started with "Flyy Girl".

Tyree became a fan of classic fil...
