About: Fly + Intellect
Mz Coko likes being Fly... and Mz Coko likes talking about stuff other than clothes... cuz that's what 'Intellectuals' do. Plus Mz Coko has a slight case of ADD and can not stay on one topic... so whatever Mz Coko feels like talking about (something along the lines of fashion and black folk issues) is what is gonna get talked about.

Graduation!
Ok so I finally walked across the stage.. Graduation day was May 2. There were 2 graduations, the one that comprised of everyone from all of the undergraduate colleges and the Black Celebratory program. I have pix!!

I got my Bachelor of Science Degree in Biological Anthropology (yay me!) Well.. I am getting my degree next month.. I have one more class to complete.

Future plans... I plan on getting a dual degree, an MD/MPH. I have yet to take my MCAT and I have 2 more classes to fulfill my prereqs for medical school. But, I am starting my public health degree this fall.

and on to the pix!


This is before graduation, if you look, all of the graduates are filing in on the other side.


Yes I am in this booklet!!


The view from my seat... it does not pay to be early to graduation ya dig



The massive sea of graduates from my mother's seat. There were about 6000.


I guess me and my friends thought they were taking a picture of us.. but clearly they were trying to capture the AKA's!! It's still lovely tho LOL


Me and Baby Monkey! She went back to Cali this morning =(





More pix I took with friends at graduation!


Me and my roomie after the big graduation


After the big graduation!


3 of my best friends came to the big graduation... Lil Bit, Mr. Talented, and the Princess! Lil Bit and the Princess went broke coming from Howard University to see me!! That's why I love them! So supportive!




After the big graduation, me and some of my closest friends and fellow graduates went to eat with our families.


Black Celebratory 09.. yes I am on that stage


Me and my Mom after Black Celeb... and yes she was at the big one


My other best friend, the Mama, showed up at the Black Celeb graduation

My Uncle and his family were there acting a fool



My 2 cousins that keep my hair so fabulous!


My other BFF... Mr. athlete came.. 5 out of 6 of my best friends came to see me graduate... The philanthropist didn't come because he had finals! Get it in!

After all of this.. I went to a party... there will be NO PIX released... cuz that party ended with me passing out in my car and waking up the next morning STILL IN THE CAR covered up with my robe LOL. Good times tho

Kill Yourself: Per-Henrik Zahl
Sooo before reading this blog.. read this article. Per Henrik Zahl is the scientist behind this study that basically said:

--frequent mammograms are unnecessary because many tumors will regress on their own without treatment
--breast/prostate cancer isn't deadly

While this article doesn't say anything about blacks/african-americans (whichever you prefer)... If this foolishness disguised as science and sense gets around, its implications could possibly have devastating effects on our community. If anybody knows about the health disparities that exist with breast cancer alone.. you know that black women are diagnosed less with breast cancer yet have the highest mortality rate... If we get the disease we are less likely to last 5 years.. Why?

The main reasons are lack of early detection and disparities in treatment

Tell all the thousands of black women that have died from breast cancer that bullshit... Its supposed to go away on its on. Oh wait.. you can't.... because they are fucking D E A D. So you... Per-Henrik Zahl.. can go jump off a bridge with cement slippers on. I'm mad so I have nothing else to say.

BeBe is having a 30% off sale
It's for dresses and pants only. I can't fit their pants.. but if you can.. check it out LOL

Here are 2 of my favs in differing views.


Ok so... Don't fuck this dress up by wearing leggings with it. I am so over leggings right now. But when the style first came back.. I was all leggined out. But... don't do this to the dress.


If you gon get the dress.. rock it like this.. I was tempted to buy it but... we in a recession! I can't be spending that much money on a dress Imma wear once or twice. This is why I'm banking on the Princess getting this job at BeBe.


Ok so... They have a bunch of these Herve Leger-esque type sweater dresses.. This one is my fav.. cute in both colors. I have one in a different style.. only thing about these dresses is that they snag on your jewelry a lot soo be mindful of that.

Get the Herve Leger look without spending Herve Leger money.

What I've been up to!!
It's been a minute since I posted... I mean.. it's been so long... We even got a black president. LOL Craziness. I actually had a post that I started but I never finished... Give me a break though... it was midterm season.. and studying, socializing, and running an org leaves little time for blogging.. sadness I know.


It really annoyed me when people said... "I did" or "I'm doing my part by voting" No. Get somebody else out there to vote.. I know I was out there grinding in extreme heat AND rain. That's why my President is Black.. and so is yours =D lol.



Halloween was a little uh.. interesting... I had my wings on upside down for half the night lol... But for some reason only this camera phone pic is showing up *shrug*



The Saturday before elections.. I went to this "My President is Black" Party.. well really it was just the Ultimate Black Party but... i like the way that sounded better... I wouldn't have gone but we got a party bus for my bff's bf b-day

I was pretty wasted at this party and my mama told me my dress looked like... a Wonderwoman costume lol.. leave it to parents.. sometimes u gotta step a little outside the box though

Party bus shot.. I highly recommend these over limos.. This is my 3rd time getting on one this year




Soo the birthday boy has his own designer... These were shots of their jackets.. I think they're pretty hot. If anybody is interested let me know.

AFter that it was like a slew of events...

EbonyFashionFairFashionShow.SNMARegionalMedConferences.Birthdays.Afterparties.etc.etc.etc.





I only threw these pix in cuz they have pix of Gabby in them... and we all know how nupe loves Gabby lol

Just some Fly ish
Just some stuff I can't live without.. at the moment..

So.. I love this scrub!! Makes your hands and feet feel all soft. It goes for $45 normally but.. you can talk a deal with the people at the mall (yes I stop and try the products at the booths, it was SO worth it!) When your skin feels good... people notice! I also bought the facial wash, the mud mask,the body butter, and the nail buffer kit... I could have done without the facial wash though. The mud mask, body butter, and nail buffer kit are great as well. The Princess has the bath soaps and she loves them. Real talk... this ish is great!!

So.. yes this comes from another one of those carts in the mall... What can I say.. I'm a sucker for new products. This really should be higher up on the list... like #2 LOL.. These flat-irons are the best flat-irons I have ever tried. I let my cousins use them on this chick's hair.. and please believe that ish was SO nappy... Looked like silk.. I finally took my weave out (yes I have hair.. and it's pretty long too).. I don't have chemicals in my hair because my hair can't really handle it.... After using these flat-irons my hair was sooo bouncy... I went to a cabaret... the club... the gym... and my hair is STILL straight. It probably has something to do with the spray I use but... my hair has never been this straight to start with. Fuck a Chi, H2Pro.. or any of them other flat-irons.. I have had them all... this is IT.

Sidekick 08... I'm a kick addict... It's not the most advanced phone... may seem a little juvenile to some, but I freaking LOVE my kick. I've had other phones..like the blackberry... but this is my 3rd sidekick and they kinda got it right.. I drop this thing on the daily.. hasn't broken yet... sidepanels and ish don't fall out like it used to... Plus.. it has my e-mail and instant messaging and a wide QWERTY keypad.. I was thinkin bout the G1... but Imma stay loyal to my sidekick... for now.

This bracelet.. I bought this at Claire's like 3 years ago... It comes from the Mariah Carey line of jewelry.. which I don't even know if it is still in existence or not. But it was only $8 and to this day I still wear it, frequently... I wore it to our black homecoming and pretty much everywhere else.

I love this lip gloss from e.l.f. I lose lip gloss a lot.. it's cheap.. but a high quality product. They also have a lot of other cheap stuff there like make-up brushes for $1.00. You get the same brush at MAC for $38. They do the same job. Just as good.. but I digress.


So if you are like me and just starting to experiment with make-up.. you can't go wrong with this.. eyeshadow.. lip gloss.. blush.. brushes.. the works.. $48. That's it. It really doesn't get any better. I got it from Sephora and it's available on-line and in stores


All imma say is: Green Tea Latte. Try it. I've been a fiend for 2 years and counting lol







Pashmina scarves. I love them. Apparently people wear them in all kinds of weird colors and patterns now.. not my style.. but whatever floats your boat.. you can't go wrong with it
