I think what has inspired me to want to start blogging is seeing how strong the Black blogosphere is, I mean I was reading about the Jena 6 months ago before it ever made the mainstream news. Folks talk about the digital divide and while I don't discount that maybe there are less Black folks online than whites, the reality is we are here and we clearly have some power to affect real change via the internet. I was so proud to see the brothas and sistas down in Jena, wishing that if I didn't have baby girl to take care, I would have been down there as well.
Living in a place like Maine, black forums and blogs are my lifeline to Black culture as well as my reality check which a place like this often doesn't provide.
