I could have been Kalief. His mom could have been my mom. My heart cries for them both and my God bless their legacy. #wow

Re: Snarky Puppy & Chantae Cann Wow Us With ‘Da Da ‘N Da’

Chantae Cann has one of the most alluring, anointed voices of the 21st century. I pray her career continues to cascade over the ears of the world because she deserves it IMO.

This is one of the best things I've read in a while and very poignant.

Re: I Am Not Afraid To Fight

Fave — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:04:13 -0000

I've always considered myself a lover and not a fighter. This year has taught me that I must love to fight if my dreams - and subsequently the dreams of my children - are to manifest. More importantly, through Christ I am guaranteed to win the fight if I just trust Him. Thanks for the encouragement as always!

I agree totally as we are conditioned to find comfort in labels. I will definitely not be betting against the internet in 2012 and beyond. Cheers!

I really like the "Twitter Gratitute" concept. I'm in the middle of my campaign and could use a boost. All the tips were great! Thanks for sharing, Justin.

I think the masked man is a woman and that woman is the über sexy lady that hooks up with Curtis.

I'd like to add that, although Alicia (Antonia Thomas) is appearing to be the weak link in the story, that could also be the setup for a shocker.

Re: the world’s largest list on why we forget to design

Fave — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 22:00:00 -0000

a few thoughts:

1. Our desire to be accepted (in society) often creates a "herd-like" mentality where design becomes a potential risk to that acceptance; therefore, our willingness to design is directly related to the level of risk.

2. Our amplified fear of failure.

3. Our underdeveloped view of success.

4. Lack of (sufficient) faith.

5. Pre-designed lives (by our peers, colleagues and family) give the illusion that they are easier to maintain than anything we could come up with ourselves.

6. Lack of encouragement, starting with ourselves.

AMEN! There is a much bigger story that must be shared re: our culture's impact on technology beyond "entertainment." I believe it's up to 'us' to tell it. . .and no one else.

Re: 5 Lessons Black Magazines Can Learn from Newsweek’s Acquisition

These are straightforward, common sense items that I hope black publishers are considering as they make moves to survive. Good post, Anjuan!

Re: do you need the hard lesson?

Fave — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 16:09:56 -0000

I think it's a dichotomy in that most people have to endure the "hard lesson" in order to gain the "education" of the lesson learned -- but sometimes the lesson can have tremendous circumstances. There's a level of credibility given to those who have proverbially "bumped their head" and learned from it > those who have never endured a hard lesson.

Re: 5 Webcomics Created by African Americans

Fave — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:38:08 -0000

Fantastic post on AA webcomic creators. I appreciate the love you showed to APNF and, while I had most of these on my radar, I now have (Redux Deluxe) to check out as well.

What's great about these webcomics is their ability to entertain (and perhaps) inspire without being overly intrusive or demanding on a reader's time schedule. It's a quick dose of humor that we all need at some point during the day.

Awesome post that illustrates how God is not all about "curbside" (or in this case, wave-side) service. He has so much for us and has given us the tools to paddle. I'm reaffirming today to not be so lazy.

Cheers!

Re: Categories: Too Many or Not Enough?

Fave — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 10:34:57 -0000

I believe the issue here is "awareness" because the average person doesn't read 35+ blogs with enough frequency to nominate them (IMO). A new voter would log onto to this site and create this pressure to select something (or go research a blog in the midst of nominating) based on the extensive nomination list. I don't feel the solution is to eliminate categories but point out (in a bolder voice) that you don't have to nominate or vote for everything. If should be a way to craft a message that this (process) is a) to explore the possibilities and gifts of other bloggers [which is the purpose of BWAs] and b) not intended to strongarm you into voting for blogs in which you are not comfortable.

Honestly, I was looking for your comment(s) on his post and perhaps a "healthy" debate -- now I see why that didn't happen (i.e., your comment was screened #FAIL). It would have been cool to see your comments there, but I digress.

I just went back to Phil's site where someone shared their experience with CP vs. WC+IB and why they switched to the latter. Phil responded pretty defensively *shrug*

Where's the "fun" in all this? :P

Nevertheless, I am a WC+IB user and your vimeo tutorials have been tremendously helpful. I can't wait for my webcomic to launch next week (6/21). I contend that it's about what works for you as a creator > having a virtual pissing contest over who's "better."

Don't mean to fan the flames -- just wanted to get a better understanding. It seems the wise thing to do is focus on making a great webcomic and connect with some cool creators/readers. Cheers!

Re: I Won an Award. Now What?

Fave — Thu, 13 May 2010 18:23:22 -0000

I wouldn't be able to call myself an "award-winning podcaster" (on my Twitter profile) if it weren't for the BWAs. It lends a vibe of prestige, but more importantly it's nice to be recognized by your peers. Does it give you a boost? I think the hits increase during award season as a direct result of the exposure/awareness and there are some residual subscribers who stick around afterwards. As the web becomes more savvy and people compete for "rockstar" status, I think web awards will become more prestigious.

Re: A Marriage Formula for Black Women

Fave — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:09:28 -0000

Anjuan, this is the most comprehensive and pragmatic approach to what is our most personal lifestyle choice: marriage. Your formula gives women an inside peek at how basic our psyche truly is when it comes to finding a life partner. While there are some preferences that may vary (e.g., how a man defines attractiveness, tolerance level of attitude, etc.), the overall "formula" is very much on point.

The only challenge I see is how can we help brothers become the type of men who can honestly use this formula? A lot of the concerns I've heard in the past is that the availability of men who "have it together" is slim. Although I know quite a few men who fit the bill, I think the major obstacle between black men and women (and the subject of marriage in the middle) is the lack of conversations that this post evokes.

Not a "Nightline" conversation, but serious in-house conversations where transparency, honesty and openness abound. I'm also married to a black woman, so we've done our part, right? LOL Nah, we have to continue to exchange knowledge until the challenge of marriageability (for both men and women) is properly addressed.

This post is a fantastic start. Cheers.
