Did you watch the video above of me and my mini me (Christopher)? Well… while at Blogalicious, I learned about the I Heart Bkfst campaign. General Mills supported a study on the importance of breakfast for teenage girls. Until that point I had no idea that on any given day, 38% of African American Teenage girls skip breakfast. I KNOW I was one of those girls thinking that all that energy I had would last forever, but now at 30, taking naps and popping vitamins everyday, I know for a fact that when we black women neglect our health during our youth we pay the price as we get older.
Thanks to i <3 bkfst, I am giving you the chance to win an iPod Touch right here on SistaSense.com. If you follow the details below we can do our part to support healthier eating habits within the Black Community and support a Foster Home for Girls in Birmingham, Al.

My mother would not let me and my sisters leave home in the morning without having a good breakfast first. I am so glad that she did that (even though I hated it at the time!). I now do the same with my own son.

Hi! I visited the I <3 Breakfast page and let them know that SistaSense sent me. I didn't have a problem making the pledge because growing up we never started our day without breakfast and I do the same with my husband and children. Breakfast is my FAV, I order breakfast unfailingly when I go to any restaurant that serves it. I let my twitter folks know too! Enjoy!
I joined the facebook page and wrote SistaSense.com sent me and I Heart Breakfast! And I made the pledge.

I did both things and I am about to get my tweet on.
And…thanks for a great giveaway, but more importantly thanks for bringing awareness to this issue. Black womens’ nutrition seems like a subject hardly ever touched upon, but it is critical as we die at an alarmingly faster rate than our female counterparts of other races.
