Ok, this is a bit of a tangent… I say a bit because
the digital divide is wearing me out this month and making it painfully
obvious that this too, is a part of black history. I mean in reality what part
of ‘living black’ isn’t? And this truth is on a level at the root of my Black
Love post this month. Looking at the reality of our black story in the 21st
century, how we continue to make a way and build where we are to get where we
want to go. Now I’m not ballin’ out of control, however I am also not below the
poverty line. This does not mean in my budget internet escapes the luxury
category, and for real, getting to the places that offer ‘free’ internet in all
my leisure time after making that paper to pay the bills, putting in time to
support the community, nurturing family –elders, adults and youth and the time
I spend frivilously doing laundry and housekeeping posting anything can be a
real challenge ESPECIALLY with all the fb privacy settings and whatnot. My
android affords me some online time, however what I am able to do with this
device and that time is significantly limited. This is not me griping at all, I
am aware that by many standards worldwide I AM ballin’ out of control and
that’s really the piece that I’m getting to. That being said I will be posting
on my blog and sharing on fb to avoid all the delays and to work with a more
user friendly format. I am committed to introducing you to my bad ass, game
changing village as we move forward with black history in accord
with the original mission. Thank you for you patience, consideration and
support as a sistah works it in from the roots up. Blessed love.
Ps. I'll be working to get the first six post up here as well so you will be able to check the entire 28 in one spot. Cuz yeeeaaah, you wanna check for these folks.
