Make sure you read Symphony's report from the most recent meeting between the bureaucrats in West Palm Beach, Florida. They are still inept. Our national leaders are still indifferent to one of the most heinous attacks on a Black mother and child in our lifetimes. CALL THEM ON THEIR CRAP!

Join us in Atlanta, July 25-27,2008 for the Blogging While Brown Conference. The first international conference for bloggers of color and the readers who love and comment on them!

Early registration ends November 1, 2007!

Blogging While Brown is the first international conference for, by, and about Bloggers of Color AND the readers who love and comment on them. The purpose of the event is to give Bloggers of Color an opportunity to meet each other for the first time, discuss current issues affecting Bloggers of Color, and learn about the latest technology that will assist them with publishing their work. Blogging While Brown was created in response to widespread dissatisfaction with the amount of diversity in some of the largest blogging conferences.

Nailah Franklin Tribute

Born in Highland Park, Illinois and raised in south suburban Chicago, Nailah--whose name means "one who succeeds"--is a 1997 graduate of Homewood-Flossmoor High School and a 2001 graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she earned a bachelors degree in advertising. After graduation, she began her career at Leo Burnett, earning promotions, gaining experience and developing relationships during her five-year tenure there. While she was successful in her work, Nailah wanted to take on a new challenge and set her sights on a job in the pharmaceutical sales industry. She has worked as a sales rep for Eli Lilly & Co. since 2006. Always creating new challenges for herself, Nailah recently took on organizing events at a Chicago art gallery while simultaneously managing interior decorating projects for friends. Her care and concern for others is reflected in her volunteer efforts with the Chicago Urban League Metroboard, the Glass Slipper Project and other local non-profit organizations. Nailah is a force to be reckoned with. A presence. Someone who isn't afraid to speak her mind, try new things and set the bar high for herself and those around her. She is strong, resilient, vivacious, opinionated and above all, fashionable. A "girlie-girl", she loves her family and friends, fashion, spa visits, music and anything and everything related to Oprah.

Simply put, Nailah is our star.

 Now THIS is the meeting I needed to attend, but I had to decline the Commissioner's invitation to attend.

OKAY WHO IS GOING TO SPEAK UP? I KNOW SOME OF YOU LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA!!!!

 There will be another meeting with between the West Palm Beach Housing Authority (WPBHA) and the city commissioners. This time the Commissioners will take public comment at the meeting.

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 3:00pm City Commission Chambers at City Hall 200 2nd Street West Palm Beach, FL

Just remember: It doesn't take the majority to make a rebellion; it takes only a few determined leaders and a sound cause. Don't talk about the change, be the change. I want to see a room full of Black women and men in that chambers taking those 'leaders' to task. You can't demand people get on a plane to do what you aren't willing to get in your car and do...just sayin'. But you know I'm right. If you are interested in attending and would like to speak contact Symphony at symphonyep@gmail.com ; I will be happy to get you in contact with a few people down there including media. And for all you South Florida residents there is a benefit concert on behalf of the Dunbar Village victim and her son. It takes place Saturday at The World Famous Restaurant in West Palm Beach. $10/person.
