I must first say I’m grateful I’m sitting on my bed, alive, breathing, typing, and watching True Blood. Life is beautiful right now, but a few days ago, something absolutely surreal happened.

Yvette and Ruby have known each other for a lifetime, 20 years, and have never ever said to each other – I never want to speak to you again (I say it at least once a year). I suck at friendships, badly. When I get to heaven, I’m not sure I can explain my failure at friendships. I think their Gayle/Oprah-like friendship is remarkable, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to talk to them about what has kept them together for 20 years.
In a few days, double trouble (Yvette and Ruby) will be facing a long separation – Yvette is moving back home to Ghana and Ruby is about to begin a New York adventure – but before then, they provide us with a little insight into their unique relationship (on the left is Ruby and on the right is Yvette).

So the single men of 8300 had their say last week. This week it is a tight-knit group of Atlanta girls (L-R, Susan, Ruby, Akua, Yvette and Nana Adwoa), and they’re ready and willing to spill the beans on what they think about love, committment, sex and more. What’s really cool about this group is they’re opinionated, direct and spontaneous individuals. They say it how they see it. Life is meant to be lived, and these gals know exactly how. As much as I love to ramble, I’m not going to give a long introduction. So for those of you who wanted the female version, let’s just get started!

Note: the responses aren’t in any order, so Diva 1 is not the same through-out.
