I’ve been thinking about death all week. All month really. Hell, if I’m honest, for years. But really intensely recently. February 8 was the four year anniversary of my mom’s death. January made seven years since my dad passed. Plus my mom’s birthday was in November and my dad’s was in January. [...]
The East coast (by some accounts as far north as Canada and as far south as South Carolina) experienced an earthquake yesterday. It was my first earthquake and let me tell you, even though it only lasted a few minutes, I don’t feel that I need to experience it again. Ever. Now [...]
If there’s one thing that anyone that knows me knows it’s that I am a major Talib Kweli fan. He is part of my holy triumvirate of contemporary artists that can do no wrong in my book, along with Black Thought and Mos Def. I say contemporary because Stevie Wonder can also [...]
One of the things that I like the most about social networking is having the opportunity to interact with people whom I may never have met otherwise. I have had the pleasure of having several fun, informative, and thought-provoking dialogues via Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. This past weekend; however, what I thought was [...]
The nomination period for the 2011 Black Weblog Awards ended on May 7. During the nomination period, several requests to ‘nominate my blog’ came through my Twitter feed. One very well thought out request came via e-mail and included not only a request to vote, but why and instructions on how. Done! [...]
I’m in the business of building brand awareness; however, I’m horrible at promoting myself. I can give anyone else 101+ ways to best promote themselves and/or their business, but when it comes to self-promotion – *crickets.* Crazy, right?
As it turns out, I am not alone in this deficiency. I [...]
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a huge proponent of using social media tools for business and personal branding. I love the idea of being able to reach out and share your message with people beyond your regular circle/audience. I still believe; however, that your friends and acquaintances should be [...]
A few days ago I came across this story (video below) and it touched me on multiple levels. I have a 12 year old daughter, so the thought of anyone subjecting a child that could be MY child to this horrifies me. I speak with both of my daughters (I also have a [...]
I get so much inspiration from Twitter. Today this tweet came across my feed and it got me thinking. I’m considering making 2011 the year that I cultivate some key relationships. There are a few people that I think I want to get to know better. Good, funny, inspiring, intelligent people. Steady [...]
It’s the day after Thanksgiving and a lot of people spent yesterday talking (and tweeting and posting on facebook) about the things for which they were thankful. I decided to bypass that “tradition” because, let’s face it, it’s pretty much always the same things: health, family, friends, food, shelter, etc. I’m thankful [...]
