The Braxton sisters recently visited the Dr. Phil show where Trina Braxton opened up about her rocky marriage. Tamar Braxton seemed like she just couldn’t help running her mouth on the subject. I know that in the world of reality TV very little, if anything, is truly private but I want the BLAM family to get this lesson and get it well. If your family knows about the details of your relationship to the extent that they can give the in’s and outs almost as good as you and they’re running their mouth about it when you’re not around and/or without your permission—your family is toooooooo involved in your life! I didn’t say love life….I said LIFE. Because 9 times out of 10 there are boundaries that are being crossed in your family relationships in more ways than one.

Gotta love these ladies but at the end of the day they all have some individuating to do….look it up. 😉 Have a look at the Braxton sister dynamic and pay attention to what not to do.

Missing New York teen, Mishell DiAmonde Green, has been found and reunited with her family just hours after she was featured on ABC’s “The View,” last Friday. She’s been missing for a whiiile! I know her family is so grateful for her safe return. A missing child is the kind of horror that most of us can’t even fathom until it happens to us or someone we know. We are keeping their family in our prayers and meditations.

ABCNEWS.com and “The View” reports:

 “An anonymous viewer who recognized 16-year-old Mishell’s profile from the segment immediately called the “Black and Missing Foundation” to report her whereabouts, which led to her recovery at a shelter called Safe Horizon for victims of violence in New York City.

Green disappeared Sept. 8, 2011 while heading to an after-school program called “The Door” in the Soho area of New York.

While Green has not yet disclosed what happened to her after she went missing, her family said “Mishell is safe and out of harms way.”

Green’s family and Derrica Wilson, who is the Co-Founder, President and CEO of Black and Missing Foundation, Inc. appeared on “The View” earlier today and discussed the recovery and reunion of Mishell Green.

 Listen in below to the emotional clips of Mishell’s family discussing their reunion below.

VIDEO: Octavia Spencer Talks Diversity In Hollywood. Challenges Us To Support What We Want To See

Octavia Spencer talks about diversity in Hollywood in this clip and says we can’t put all of the blame on Hollywood when it comes to the films and media we see represented most of the time. She says Hollywood puts out what they feel dollars will support meaning what we (you and me) will spend our money on. So, the question for me personally is do they put out what they feel dollars will go to or what they know money will go to?

I agree with Octavia in that we must support what we want to see but I’m not sure that’s enough. We have to be the funders and creators of what we want to see as well. Thoughts fam?
