seems like i'm always on the run when i decide that it's a good time to post something in here. a few things have happened in the past two weeks that are worth noting:
a) i finally came up on a job. i'm working for a non-profit that is investing in improving education for minorities. my work so far has consisted of researching on hbcu-up granted institutions, trying to gather information on faculty there. it's amazing how many small hbcus there are (around 40) that i didnt know about.
b) last night i performed in front of Amiri Baraka, Ishmael Reed and Haki Madibuti for Howard's annual Heart's Day Celebration. This year Mr. Reed was the recipient of the award for outstanding contribution to the arts and I along with Val and friends (including Lamont Steptoe, excellent poet), under the direction of Tony Medina, performed a piece which was a conglomeration of pieces by Reed. It felt good being on stage and performing. I was nervous before the event but once I was out there, I was relaxed. Very great experience.
Well, the Terps play Duke in an hour, gotta go get some syrup fo' deez hotcakes. peace.
