Hey everyone, thanks for another great week of conversation. As you may already know, thanks to polerin the links are working again. I am eternally grateful for all of the help.
This week Monica of TransGriot, Gus AKA Allison McCarthy and I will be chatting with Kola Boof. We will discuss what it was like growing up growing up “nappy headed” and half Black in Northern Sudan. We will also be speaking about rape and slavery, which are still occurring there at a very high rate. Please be sure to tune in at 8pm EST. Here is a link so that you can follow the show. For those of you that miss it, I will put up a link on Sunday, so that you may hear the recording. As always the phone lines will be open should you have any questions. (347) 326-9452 If you are to shy to call in, feel free to ask your question in the chat room and we will ask Ms.Boof.
As many of you know, it is my goal to continue to grow the Womanist Musings community, in the hopes of enlarging the conversation. If you read a post that you like, please do not hesitate to submit it to some form of social media, whether it be reddit, digg, facebook, livejournal or stumbleupon etc., I certainly would appreciate the help.
Below, you will find a list of some posts that I found interesting this week. Please show these bloggers some love and check them out. When you are done, don’t forget to drop it like it’s hot and leave your link behind in the comment section.
