A DAY IN "THE LIFE OF RILEY"

My network of folks are jumping on the blogosphere and I want to shout out a few of them here:

1. My Spelman sister Nicole LaBeach (with whom I’ve had the chance to share many a stages during our college years) is now motivating the masses ( www.drlabeach.com/home.htm ). She’s launched the “2008 Live Like You Matter Campaign For Women” ( www.livelikeyoumatter.com/campaign_entry_per.htm ). And you should check it out.
2. My first boss in the business Sidmel Estes-Sumpter ( www.breakthrough-atl.com )

who too is the first woman President of the National Association of Black Journalists (www.nabj.org). She is blogging and expressing herself openly and boldly – as only Sidmel can. Check her impassioned and inspiring words out on: www.sisterswhohavesomethingtosay.wordpress.com .

3. And you guys know about my Frankie Edozien, who is my fellow journalist in NABJ and my friend. I talk about him often in the blog. Well, he says “apparently resistance (to the blog/website renaissance) is futile”. So, see him finally on the web: www.edozien.net in addition to the work he does as Founder of the “African” Magazine ( www.africanmag.com ).
