i am just not feeling her and don’t understand what the hype is all about. i think she probably means well with her sisterhood empowerment but i think there are better female role models who are lifting, guiding, inspiring, mentoring young women. from the BET coverage of the election, to TV inauguration to D.L.’s show, she hasn’t come with “it” at all in my humble opinion and is not a good speaker. like on D.L.’s show she was saying Michele Obama isn’t arm candy and the male guests disagreed with her. maybe what Michaela was trying to say is she’s not JUST arm candy but she didn’t and as a speaker, shouldn’t you be clear at the very least? be able to hold a coherent set of thoughs and voice them? i don’t get that with her. not mention i always get the vibe like she’s real hungry for attention and camera time.

i started reading asha bandele’s book that just came out. i recommend this sister any day over MAD.

“Clutch: Are men intimidated by you?
Michaela Angela Davis : If they are I don’t really know it. I had really good experiences with men, I expect good men in my life, I expect them to show up. I don’t have a sense of lack when it comes to men, I’ve had very interesting, beautiful, creative, smart, talented, genius men in my life. I like being around men and talking to them, I have a variety of interests so I go places where men are, museums, sports events; a lot of men go to see live music. I think the men that are intimidated by me don’t step to me, so I don’t know who they are!”
I like the positivity she radiates

We need good sisters who are leaders whom work with the younger sisters and lead by example. I believe in balance too, from eating right (i am 6′3 225 vegan) meditation, a personal relationship with YAH is always good, it also lets one knows who they are, not needing a guide if not needed therefore one can not be mislead, giving, always mentoring and helping younger brothers some how through my businesses or none profit, sex, well when I find her I will hope she can match my drive. M.A.D you are awesome hope to meet you one day.

You inspire me.

I caught Michaela Angela Davis on the D.L. Hughely show on CNN and was surprised. I have issues with her comments and answers but my bigger issues is, how does she reconcile the fact that D.L. Hughley made derogatory comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team members and then sit on stage with him? During the “nappy headed hoes” saga, D.L. went on a late night show and said yes they were nappy headed, he wasn’t sure about the hoes part and that they were some of the ugliest women he’s ever seen. During this saga, I caught a show where Michaela denounced the comment and the use of the word ‘ho’. I don’t understand how Michaela’s values can change enough to break bread with D.L. What happened to the empowerment of black women? I am disappointed to see her self interest come before the bigger cause and that she sold out to get paid $ at the end of the day.

Michaela, I remember you when you were a freshman at the School of the Arts in Washington, D.C. I was a junior, I think, along with your brother Eddie. I had a crush on him for years! I think he’d be proud of what you’ve done and what you do. You are truly an inspiration to me! Go ahead on, Little Sister

I’ve met Michaela a few times too since we know some of the same people and both live in the same area in Brooklyn, at Habana on the same nights several times too. Since we’re sharing opinions mine is that she is neither a saint or the devil. Michaela is loud and can be abrasive and does like to be the center of attention a lot. She can also seem pompous sometimes. Michaela is also someone that seems to be passionate about helping young women and it’s endearing how much she loves her daughter. My personal opinion is that her passion would do more good and produce more positive results if she stopped trying to be in the spotlight all the time and shone that on the causes more.

I met Michaela in a cafe called Tillie’s in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill neighborhood in Brooklyn years ago when she was working for the beautiful magazine Honey. She radiated such warmth and comfort within herself and she radiated those exact qualities as we spoke. I am so proud of you my sister and honored to be sharing this space and this life with so many amazing women.

I don’t hate her. I dislike her and how she acts superior to everyone and how she treats people. I read Clutch from time to time and saw the article about her. Like it’s your right to give her a shout out if you see her, it’s my right to comment on Ms. Davis too from my encounters with her. What doesn’t make sense is for people to take other people’s opinions and experiences with her so personally.
