  • Podcast: The Black LGBTQ Blogosphere panel at Fire & Ink III: The Cotillion
  • Twitter updates for Creating Change
    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     While I had a great time at the Creating Change conference in Dallas last week, one concern I had was that there were few bloggers of color present and fewer mentioned in reference by the presenters. So, Wayne Sutton’s entries under the “28 Days of Diversity” moniker is a good place for individuals to become exposed to more individuals excelling in this field of work. Great job, Wayne!

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Writer, Saeed Jones, posted a blog interview with Michael Counter, Jr. I first became familiar with Michael’s writing on the Dallas South News website. Being a veteran of the United States Air Force & current member of the Department of Defense Civilian Sector, his written perspective at Dallas South of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in the U.S. military is not to be missed.

    Enjoy his interview at Saeed Jones’ blog, for southern boys who considered poetry.
