Chronic Absenteeism Hurts Millions Of Students
'Toddlers & Tiaras': Damitri'ana Wears 'African' National…
Laila Ali is gorgeous, fit and packs a nasty punch, and yes, milk does her body good.The 'Dancing With the Stars' finalist has signed on for a third "Got Milk?" campaign, and sports a sexy, vampy look in the new ads.
Niiiiiice.
The 29-year-old super middleweight champ is no stranger to the milk spotlight. She first donned a milk-mustache with her dad, Muhammad Ali, in 2001. Earlier this year, she was featured in the popular dairy ads with her fellow 'DWTS' finalists.
Ali tells People mag she chose to do the campaign for health reason. "I'm always striving to be as healthy as I possibly can -- and you always think of milk doing a body good."
The star is currently working on a Nickelodeon reality show, similar to 'Shaq's Big Challenge,' in which she helps obese children who have trouble losing weight.

Well, let me be the first to say what a beautiful, strong and intelligent BLACK WOMAN Ms. Ali is. I truly enjoyed her performance on DANCING WITH THE STARS. Without lossing sight of her physical strength she danced gracefully & elegantly. And displayed a great sense of humor and commitment to the task at hand. I must say that I've only seen her fight once. Not really a ladies fight fan. sorry Ms Ali. But, WAS and AM a huge fan of her Fathers. A courageous and honorable man he is.
Am looking forward to laila discovering and sharing her many talents. Wishing her much success in her careers and in LIFE.
Laila Ali is one tough chic !
Meant in the most positive way.
PEACE BE WITH YOU

I wholeheartedly agree with Linda.... Laila exemplifies beauty, inside and out. I especially like the fact that she is not the 'cookie cutter' image of what Americans think thin should be, but she is fit, she is in shape and she is NOT a size 2! She has a beautiful spirit, and she seems to be grounded. She stands on her own merit, but she adores her father.
I LOVED her on dancing with the stars, girlfriend had some serious moves, I would kill to have those legs! I wish her the best!

Laila
She is a model for all women. I recently watch her fight ( on cable) in South Africa. She is able to converse on equal terms with dignataries of state and then get in the ring and do her thing. By daughters have pictures of great women on thier wall for aspiration. Laila is is on the row of pics with Oprah, Elenor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhardt, Madame CJ walker and Wilma Rudolp.
The story featured her fight but it was much more. This princess spoke to the ill effects of gangsta rap on women. Ladies, take it from a dad raising daughters... Laila is the real deal.

I think it is great that Laila Ali is the new spokesperson for the milk ads. She will be sending a powerful message to girls and women about loving their bodies and staying healthy. www.luvkingston20.com

Yes,Laila certainly does look good, but before you run out to buy that quart or gallon of milk you'd better ask the following question: what percentage of Black folks in this country are lactose intolerent? According to the following information only 20% percent of us benefit from this product: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/lactoseintolerance/

She is Bold, Beautiful and Irresponsible....

Estimates of lactose intolerance for black people run as high as ninety-five percent... What we do assume is that dairy industry executives and dairy scientists must know how black people are so affected. FDA knows this truth and so does USDA.

Long live the legacy, I certainly do not envy her for her pop's Muhammad Ali was such a colosall of an icon/celerbity;he was once once considered the most reconizable, and renown face on the entire Earth, GIANT SHOES to fill, TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW, conscious or unconcios of.With all due respect,though, I think that she has beautiflliy, established her own identy, and worthness, and I think that her talent, and personality speaks for itself, and the fans love her for it, espicially her fans.Though regardless of her intent or motive,that ambiguity that , wiil always follow her; looking over her shoulders, steering her in the face.In the long hall that's tough on any human being.

History teaches us the perils and sometimes tragedies of chidren following the paths and footsteps of their famous parents. Hypothecally, I surmise that depending upon the seriouness of the event, it could be as tormenting, metaphorically speaking; as meeting a force of nature head on, or like bracing for the collision of an on coming Juggernaut. Well maybe not quite that devastating [smile]. I understand that it really can cause a painful inner conflict, though, particular when critisims of the skeptics and naysayer creep in. In conclusion I wish the young [Ms. Ali] lady the very best with her goals and aspirations.
