Blog Action Day 2009

The goal of BAD '09 is to get bloggers all over the world to, on the same day, discuss an issue that is relevant on a worldwide scale. This year's issue is climate change. I don't claim to know much about climate change. But, what I do know is this: climate change affects us all. It doesn't discriminate based on age, race, gender, or socio-economic status. Climate change gravely affects our world. The human race can do much to help sustain the environments in which we live. We can all recycle (or at least try), use eco-friendly products, and continue to research alternative sources of energy (wind, solar, hydro-electric). If we don't help protect our precious planet, then future generations will definitely suffer. We should all take responsibility for our planet because it is ours to protect. The ad industry can do much to help raise awareness about climate change. Many people (including myself) know the term climate change but don't really grasp the seriousness of the issue. By exploiting various media vehicles to put the issue of climate change on display, the ad industry can help to change the world, literally.

Blog Action Day '09

Thursday October 15, 2009, is Blog Action Day. I will be mobilizing with the rest of the blog world to discuss climate change, an issue that gravely affects all of the Earth's dwellers. Tune in to see my thoughts about how the ad industry can play its part.

Blog Action Day '09 "One day. One issue. Thousands of voices."

Who Said Print Magazines Are Dead?

So,

I've recently fallen in love with Black Enterprise magazine. I started out reading the mag for a class assignment and quickly became infatuated with it. Black Enterprise (BE) inspires and encourages the Black community to go for their dreams while also planning for their financial future. As a young Black graduate student, BE reminds me that my dreams are well within my reach (even though the economy pretty much sucks). The mag also taught me an extremely valuable lesson, one in which I'd almost forgotten. Believing in yourself is the best investment that you can make towards your future. Never be afraid to dream big, for you shall always regret it if you don't.

BE has affected my life in a real way in just a short amount of time. I'm going to suscribe to the mag and keep hope alive that I will make it in the ad industry. BE has restored my faith in myself and given me hope not only for today, but for the future as well. It is sure to do the same for you. Black Enterprise, buy it, read it, and share it.

Arrival & Survival

I'm here....finally!! Its taken me a while to create this blog. But hopefully, good things will come from it. Making it in the ad biz is my dream and my goal. I will do everything it takes to break through the clutter and get my dream job in account planning (or something close to it will do right about now). Attending graduate school is my first big step. So, follow me on my journey...it should be a great ride!
