NPR's Michel Martin is featured in this month's issue of Washingtonian discussing the things that made her who she is. But let's talk directly about her black girl nerd bonafides:1. She works for NPR - nuff said. I heart public radio so.
2. Are those a pair of cute spectacles she's holding?
3. She read the Excorcist as a child. See my profile over to the right >>>>
ps Michel I did not sleep for ages either
4. She has a cute natural do that makes a statement without trying too hard.
caveat you can be a BGN with straight hair people.
5. She loves news.
I will add the disclaimer that I know Michel personally and consider her a mentor - not because I'm name dropping but just to state my bias - and because maybe I am name dropping just a little.
In addition she's an Emmy Award winning journalist and for you political junkies she was the lone black commentator holding it down for many years as a regular on a Sunday show also known as the white male version of the Miss America pageant- appearing with George Stephonopolis on ABC's this week.
Need I say more - the sister is bad. Take. Notes. Ladies.
