War on Women: “Hell to the NO!” Campaign ~ Are You In?

Tyler Perry as Madea

Y’all know I’m a huge Tyler Perry fan.  Through his iconic character Madea, he is trying to teach women to become emPOWERed ~ to stand tall for ourselves ~ to develop an AT-tit-TUDE.  In this classic photo, she’s got her cast-iron skillet out to teach her granddaughters how to say, “hell to the NO!” If … Read more
