Enough is Enough

I Found this on the Black Women Vote!  blog.

They want us to share it, well I'll do it gladly.

What About Our Daughters

 What About Our Daughters is a no-brainer to add here. I can't imagine someone reading this who wouldn't have heard of this blog already but if you haven't you should.  So, here it is. 

 I'm not a woman myself but I appreciate the heart that Gina the author of this blog displays. 

She is creating a focal point for African American Womanhood the likes of which has been necessary for a long time. She's attracting an active, intelligent group of women (and men) whom I can see definitely intend to make a difference and are leaving no obstacles standing in their path.

Covering issues, of health, children, politics, community, economics, relationships, abuse and more, What About Our Daughters is IMHO, one of the most important Black locales on the internet today. As if that's not enough, the associated podcast The Black Women's Roundtable is to podcasting what WAOD is to blogging. 

You Go Sisters!

Pambazuka News

Pambazuka is an independent, progressive publication covering the news in many countries in Africa and the diaspora. It is overseen by Firoze Menji of Fahamu Networks for Social Justice, who has been careful not to become beholden to or dependent on big corporations.

The reportage is upbeat, and positively inspirational. The subject matter goes from the latest events in Kenya to, environmental justice in Nigeria, to Zimbabwe youth protest in London, as well as art therapy with children in Uganda, to get well soon comrade Castro and much more.

The site contains enlightening podcasts and videocasts with the promise of more to come.
For a real close look at pan African grassroots, Pambazuka is an excellent place to start.
