Dr. Margaret Burroughs Gallery
I had the opportunity to attend the dedication for Dr. Margaret Burroughs Gallery at South Shore Cultural Center on yesterday. Check out my story and multimedia skills at Go Shorty: Your Chicago South Side Resource at www.goshorty.net.
“Truth is powerful and it prevails.”
Sojourner Truth was right. That is what I’m going to practice as a journalist and blogger. Actually, I have put it in place and a change has occurred. Explore Chicago has information on different communities in Chicago. They actually provided incorrect information about Englewood. I wrote a story on my Shorty: Your Chicago South Side…
I’m Always Pulling My Friends Into My Mess
Which isn’t a bad thing. The bad thing is – I can’t pay them right now. My friend, Demond, is the greatest. I tell him my technology issues and he helps me figure them out. I told him about a service I’m going to provide through The Write Design Company, and he just started sharing…
Ida B. Wells is Officially My Hero

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….
I’m No Longer in the Business Plan Contest
I found out why last week. The good news is, the content and the concept were good. I also know the writing was outstanding (humility is not working for me today). My plan didn’t move forward because the judges didn’t understand how my blog would generate a profit. That’s understandable if you do not understand…
