Writers Welcome!

 writers welcome

Where are all the African American writers? I'm looking for volunteers who like to write. I'm a Knowledge Manager, so I spend a lot of time and energy doing technical writing. And you can see the technical writing on our web sites too (blacksgonegeek.com, blacksgonegeek.org). But I'm getting tired of the "ho hum" articles I see in social media today. You know what I'm talking about. The 10 best ways to do this. The 5 best ways to do that. Where are all the meaningful messages that used to light up the air waves? Are you ready for your 15 minutes of fame?

Everybody is going digital, even my CIO magazine. And what happened to Diversity/Careers in Engineering & Information Technology? Has anybody checked out Kate Colborn's new magazine, Diversity in Action? Rosie Perez is on the cover, but I hardly recognized her. Does anybody remember Tina in "Do the Right Thing". I digress!

Seriously, if you have the gift of gab and you want to help us write about technology, let me know. We're starting off with some "about us" pages and taking it from there.

Have a blessed day!
