Since we have officially embarked upon the campaign season, this Wikizine will focus on the presidential campaign. Included will be thoughts, ideas, articles, and updates on what's happening as we get closer to November 08.

The Wikizine is intended to as a political venue with a focus on African-American women voters. It has been said by CNN, ABC, FOX, CBS, and print media as well, that our vote could very well determine not only the Democratic nominee for president - but the President of the UNITED STATES. That is an awesome challenge - but a challenge that we are no doubt up for.

This Wikizine is also a tribute to the African-American women who fought and even died to make our vote count and possible. Like Sojourner said over 100 years ago "Ain't I a Woman?".

i ain't saying she shoulda done it...but, i understand

Move over! Stop touching me! I was listening to that! That's my shirt and I didn't tell you that you could wear it! That's mine! Shut up! You shut up! I ain't saying she should have done it - but I understand cause sometimes your kids just get on that very last nerve and the only thing you feel you can do without killing them is to put them out. So, I can't pass judgement on Madlyn Primoff who put her bickering children out of the car. I can't even pass judgement on her driving off and not... Read Full Story

my how time flies!

My how time flies! I can hardly believe that it's been a year since Sojourner's Place was bestowed the highest blogging honor - in my opinion - in the entire blogosphere . Being admitted into the AfroSpear one year ago today was and remains truly an honor. I must give a "much obliged" to the Villager who reminded me of this day on my FaceBook page. I remember going over to Electronic Village a year ago for my daily dose and seeing his post welcoming into the Spear. My heart jumped for joy as... Read Full Story

sunday inspirations...one mother's mother's day thoughts

Why don't they talk to me and share their inner-most secrets? They use to when they were younger? Now that they are older, they have their own lives to which I often attempt to pry in order to be a part. Seems, though, that no matter how much prying or gentle prodding I might do - their openness seems to close just at that very moment when I'm feeling a break through. I look or think about them in wonderment sometimes, hoping and praying that I have given them all that they need to be... Read Full Story
