About this site
Alexis' Girl Talk Radio was founded in Oct. 2004 by me, your host Alexis. It was inspired by Brynn Baker, a fellow student at Purdue University who thought that I should have my own radio show. It was originally at the home of Facebook.com but because of privacy and a lot of unnecessary confusion, it was pulled from the site by me. However, after sitting in the beauty shop over Chrismas break, I was compelled to bringing Girl Talk back from the dead. I hope you enjoy this site where we are able to do many more things and feel free to speak your mind. Welcome to Alexis' Girl Talk Radio!!

Greetings Ladies
We are responsible for our own happiness. We are also the reason why these "niggas" are treating us the way that they do. We as women have allowed the ill-treatment of men by tolerating the unacceptable, while compromising our standards by settling for less. We promote that it is acceptable to mistreat us through their vicious lies and unfathomable infidelity. It is unprecedented how so many of fall victims to our own foolishness without realizing it. More so, it is inconceivable how we’ve somehow managed to believe that being lied to, cheated on, and manipulated into believing that it is acceptable to conform ourselves to the images presented in the media as being what is beautiful. By conforming to the misconceptions of who we are, we reduce our standards and loose ourselves at the same time. We say amongst ourselves that we’re the cream of the crop, we’re this, we’re that but do our behaviors display the characteristics we hope to obtain? If so, we shouldn’t broadcast these characteristics. They should automatically be flourishing from our insides without mentioning a word as to who we are. Why let the inexcusable become excusable? We are SUPPOSED to be women of substance and style; beauty and poise. We are supposed to be educated, strong black women; the rock in a mans life. Why are we acknowledging stupidity, ignorance, and most importantly disrespect? It rattles my mind how I look at not only my past relationships but present relationships that my friends are in to hear how so many of us – young, gifted, pretty BLACK women are carrying the baggage of a woman who has been single, married, divorced, and raising three kids! Sadly, we are none of the listed above. Who will respect us if we don’t respect ourselves? Who will have standards by setting the bar high? It’s alright to have a ZERO bullshit policy! If someone is really into you, Ladies, and he says he’ll be there at seven to pick you up he should be there at 6:59! And if he shows at 7:00, he’s late! Send him back where he was, because whatever he was doing was clearly far more important than you. If you were told he’ll call you back, and doesn’t… why are you calling him back? He obviously didn’t want to talk you! Duh! We are beautiful in all shapes, sizes, shads of black (and nationalities). We as black women are able to walk into any room and catch the eye of every man rather we are physically- in our opinion- looking “cute” that day, yet we are still consumed with whose fat, skinny, poor, rich, ugly, cute… and who’s occupying “our man’s time”. Instead of being consumed with the unnecessary, irrelevant obstacles in life (or features that are only skin deep) we seriously need to re-look and dig deep within ourselves by critiquing who we are and making some dramatic changes quickly. Furthermore, we need to execute the plans effectively. Instead of beating each other up, let’s reunite and strengthen our sisterly bonds once strengthened years ago and stick together and encourage each other that it’s not cool to be treated like somebody’s bitch. In closing, I would like to say, “Always remember that once a man has your mind… he has everything he needs!”
Stay tuned for my next posting: “What if…”
God is love... love ya much!!
