I recently appeared on HuffPost Live to engage him on some of his ideas in “That Used to Be Us“, particularly around education and global change. It was a really cool segment hosted by Marc Lamont Hill and accompanied with some pretty awesome guests who ranged from entrepreneurs to other academics. Check it out here.

Recently, I had the pleasure of being on the Addicted to Race podcast. I was on with Tami from What Tami Said, Andrea Plaid  who guest blogs at Racialicious, and Deesha Philyaw of CoParenting101. The conversation was a great one which started with a discussion of Black women and women of color’s absence in the growing body of Mommy Memoirs.We then talked about my post “I’m for Gay Rights but…” and issues of civil rights, gay rights and social justice in the African-American community. Followed up with a discussion of the movie Precious which has been received with very mixed results and why we think this has been and what it means for Black media representation. We concluded with a discussion of CNN’s Black men in the Age of Obama. We talked about the ways that CNN has met the challenge of covering ethnic communities but questioned what could have been done better. Great topics, witty commentary, what more are you waiting on?

And while you’re over there, definitely make sure to subscribe to the podcast, one of the best out there on race.

So I was traveling this past week and didn’t get a chance to hit you with anything new. But now I’m back in the States and I wanted to quickly to tell you to check out the Addicted to Race podcast that I guest co-hosted with Carmen Van Kerchove. In continuing with the theme of world travel, the podcast features a variety of subjects from media coverage of Mynamar, the MLK monument in DC, to Hip-Hop and accountability. As always, I had a great time cutting it up with Carmen, one of the sharpest cats out there on Race and Pop culture!

And on a side, but related note to my traveling, I’ll be taking some time to reorganize my stuff over the next while, so posts may be slow.
