But, I just have to say something. I received an email from someone at 12:00 a.m. requesting support of an event at 11:00 a.m. While I understand that things happen, people need to give ample notice for certain events. Then, “they” had their little soapbox moment stating that people should support people and events. Well,…

Mis-Education of the Negro
As we approach Black History Month, I had two thoughts: 1. Should I start a book discussion on Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s Mis-Education of the Negro on of my blogs? 2. Will the Chicago Chapter of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) have any events in Dr. Woodson’s honor? …
I Think I Have Topics for As NOT Seen on TV
I am finding that a lot of my topics on As NOT Seen on TV are African American and women. I think that is because I fall into both categories. 🙂 Although my blog is going to be multicultural, this is a good start. I was concerned that I would not have anything to discuss….

She was telling me her background and experience. She made a statement, and I started having flashbacks…
What Goes Around Comes Around
Today, I got the most blessed advice from someone regarding my business. I am totally excited. BUT, earlier in the day, I gave a couple resources to someone who is doin’ his thang with photography. I knew a little bit, so I shared it. I just felt that the information I received was a result…

I Love Writing, Blogging & Sharing Information
If money were no issue, I would write and blog all day. I didn’t know how much I loved information until this week. Everywhere I go I pick up paper. Although this is totally cluttering my workspace, as long as I bless someone with the information I gather, it is worth it. I just wanted…
I Am So Scholastic
I don’t even know how to shorthand text messages. Is that abnormal? I don’t know. Can somebody let me know.
My Writing Frustration
I am sooooooooooooooooooo frustrated! I write good sketches for my comedy class, but they lack conflict. I don’t why I keep missing that element! The good thing is, I write good sketches. The not-so-good thing is, they lack conflict. I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad. At least the concepts are good. I’m going to…
