When I started this blog, I had the intention of focusing on issues dealing with the African diaspora. This was because I felt issues from the continent were not getting enough coverage by the main stream media. I also wanted to use the blog as a platform to share some of the positive efforts coming out of the African American community. Again, a subject that isnt covered by the media very often. Obviously this venture failed. I found it very hard to find any news directly from the continent of Africa. I also had extreme difficulty making contacts that cound verify information that I was reading. When questioning anyone in Africa it seemed that all they wanted to talk about was the AIDS epidemic on the continent. This was a problem because as large a problem as the disease is, the continent has other issues that need to be addressed as well. Secondly, these people were not able to suggest any solutions to the problem, only acknowledge that there was a problem. I just didnt think that I could maintain a blog with the small amount of information that I had access to.
All of that was to say that I am changing the focus of this blog. Instead of focusing on African and African American issues I will simply be posting my personal rants on everything from news to entertainment.
I will not be taking myself too seriously, but I will be giving an honest opinion. And I hope that the one or two people that stumble across this blog will enjoy what they are reading.
