@uthentic @pproved!

..we like to put our stamp on artists and products that we enjoy and think you should too!

our monthly column featured this week on Gay Girls Guide | CLICK HERE!

• Joy Thomas
• Jeneen Nicole
• Oyin Handmade products are just a few of the topics we discuss this month!

However, on the music tip...this summer is going to be HOT HOT HOT!

Already artists are releasing some crazy tracks no matter what your speed is....

Remember Naima from America's Next Top Model?!?!?

she's the lead singer in band, Galaxy of Tar...and you can download their album for FREE! Read the fun interview done on AfroPunk's blog. Now, i have to say...if you're not ready for the heavy bass lines and melodic tunes over high pitch singing...don't download...she's not featured on AfroPunk for nothing ;)

For a softer approach...catch Sarah White. She's amazingly authentic in approach, delivery and sound....one of our favorites and might be in Philly on our stage soon..shhhh!Download FREE here...

Either way you go...music is going to be NUTS this summer...i can feel it. Also...if you're down for a little trip to nyc...definitely check out the AfroPunk festival this summer...we'll definitely be in attendance!!

Find more videos like this on AFRO-PUNK

stay tuned for more summer music artists/products/festivals!

THIS WEEKEND IN PHILLY: OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY FOR "black./womyn."

So ... unless you've been living under a rainbow colored rock for the last 3 years or so ... we're sure you've heard about "black./womyn: Conversations with Lesbians of African Descent."

Tiona McClodden, the amazing woman behind the film, has been on tour up and down the east coast, to several countries, and basically anywhere she can get a room filled with people willing to sit down or stand up or huddle in a corner in order to catch a sneak glimpse of this incredible project.

Well, @uthentic's got some sneak peek's for you ... check our FACEBOOK PAGE all week for updates.

But ... we've also got something EXTRA special for you THIS WEEKEND!
