The Twitterverse is constantly buzzing with an outlined play-by-play on the latest in news, entertainment and trending topics—to name a few on the long list of online conversation starters. Of course, with all that chatter it's easy to block out a lot of it, but within all the noise there's still a large percentage that catches your attention in one way or another. To make sure you're not missing out on the valuable commentary and comments online, BlackEnterprise.com will now curate the tweets throughout the week that staffers think were worth taking note of, whether an expert, celebrity or even you masterminded the tweet. Sadly, the music industry lost a soulful songstress, last Sunday. Teena Marie, better known as “Lady T,†transcended racial barriers with hits such as “Lovergirl,†“Ooo La La La,†and “Square Biz,†which had even younger performers such as The Fugees sampling her music. Does "Fugeela" ring a bell? Check out the touching tweets left by Marie’s adoring fans and colleagues in this version of BE Tweets of the Week. --Janel Martinez more
