Blogging from Blogging While Brown

By Carmen D. on Saturday, July 26th, 2008, 8:32 am Comments

Greetings from Atlanta and the first Blogging While Brown!

I am listening to an accessible and extremely informative presentation by Angela Conyers-Benton and Markus Robinson of BlackWeb20.com. Seated on my left, also taking everything in are Pam of Pam’s House Blend, Wayne Hicks of Electronic Village and Shawn P. Williams of Dallas South blog. Last night I was able to meet and greet with Bruce Dixon of Black Agenda Report and CBC Monitor, Maurice Cherry of Black Weblog Awards and the inimitable, activist engine Gina McCauley among others. So great.

It is hard to convey or contain my excitement about actually meeting so many people whose work I read and respect. I am learning so much already and cannot wait to share everything with you.

Gotta go! Now it’s time to listen to a representative of the Libertarian Party, Jason Pye.

My presentation is this afternoon. Wish me luck!

  • n-2-me-i-c, HELLO! I've missed you around here. I hope all is well with you. If there is something going on out there in the world you'd like for us to talk about here, please let me know. Good to see you.
  • Celestine, thank you. That is one of the highest compliments I have ever received.
  • Hey Nez. I have to say given our experience at YKOS, you would have loved this event. Thanks for your support, amigo!!
  • Maurice, I'd say your suggestion gives a whole new meaning to "Net Roots". Hee. It was terrific talking with you and I am glad you found the presentation helpful...don't forget "the hoodie awards."
  • Villager, I am glad you found my information useful. With your breadth of experience and expertise you will have much success courting the media if you choose to do so.
  • Celestine
    Your writing makes me stop and take note, so I know your presentation was on point.
  • awesome!!
  • Carmen, it was a pleasure to meet you and your presentation was great! Don't forget to let me know how Oyin Homemade works out; I know you'll love it!
  • Carmen -- your presentation was on point. I recognize that I need to create a 'press kit'. That is on my growing list of 'to-do items' coming out of the BWB Conference.

    I enjoyed talkingw with you today and I'm very glad that I had a chance to see so many Black bloggers together in one place at one time...

    Can't wait to get copy of the group photo!

    peace, Villager
