Pride Profiles, Bohemian Style

The Bohemian is doing a Pride Profiles series on her blog. For those of you who somehow missed the incessant, shameless bragging about the Offspring up in this joint, The Radical Bohemian is my eldest daughter, just finished her junior year at Howard University and currently working as an intern for NPR. She's a music major, kickass on the piano and her own vocal pipes, an activist, organizer, professional protester, world traveler, non-revisionist history buff, an artist, a reader, a lover of puppies, and general all around badass.

Anyway, I'm really liking her series, and thought you all might too, even if you're not as biased as I am. Which is pretty blatantly biased.

Here are her first two profiles:






Click, learn, enjoy.

I would tell you how proud you should be, except that I know you already are.

Your daughter is totally, totally AWESOME! I know from what side of the family she got THOSE genes!

Loving her hair too! I want that hair.

How very proud you must be! I am proud of her and she is not even my daughter! But as I have two young daughters in my house, I think I will claim her as their cyber big sis since I need all the help I can in identifying female role models for them.

Rock on, Ms. Bohemian!!!

JP: Was it the incessant brazen bragging that gave it away? But I think Rosemary won the bookmarking competition.

Rosemary: You win. Your prize will be delivered personally by Ed Sullivan.

Sling: You're right! She actually is a writer, she's got piles of journals since about age 12. She once wrote a story in which she invented her own language.

RG: Yeah, she is. Welcome to the club in coveting her hair. I'm first in line, bitch, back off. That pic was from December - it's probably longer by now. She does it up in all kinds of ways, and is becoming pretty expert in braiding her own in cool patterns.

Scribe: Yes,truly I am, of all 3 of the Offspring. Your little ones have a good start, and a hell of a role model in mom too. The Bohemian really believes in mentoring and particularly in females supporting each other, so I'm sure she'd be thrilled that two young future women were following her exploits from afar.

You know, I started to comment on your post about the Underground Railroad museum, about my daughter's trip to Ghana, and ---you know what, never mind, I'm going to make a separate post about it, because it's important.

I totally look like I'm DJ-ing in that picture.
