I Would Love to Have You Join Me!Thirty-five years ago, I participated in and moderated two on-line forums at my job called Womannotes and Blacknotes, and I wrote commentary as “the radical moderate”. When I left the company, I left my voice behind. For a while. In 2004, after John Kerry lost to George W. Bush, I began reading and writing here at the Democratic Underground. Posting about my thoughts, my concerns, black issues, women’s issues. And now I have come full circle and started my own blog. Born from my experience in writing Afro-Bougie Blues, it is the authentic me. I write about writing, reading, and stories. I write about the themes behind my stories. And I write about the things I care about. Like abortion and feminism, black history, Native American concerns, domestic violence. I keep it real, I keep it personal. I pull in facts, I do my homework. I want to share this “authentic me” with you. Come on in, the water is fine. www.afrobougieblues.com/blogs/

3. I just bookmarked the site.
I read your thoughtful post on Being an Ally to Native Americans.
Thank you for sharing this with us. It was very good and something we all need to think about. The water is indeed fine. ![]() |

4. Thank You.
The more I learn about Native American History, the angrier I get. And the angrier I get, the more I feel that I need to learn more about their history and their activism. They are doing important things to save our country from utter destruction. We are lucky to have them.
