I’ve been getting tweets and Facebook messages this past week from people who’ve heard my voice on the radio in a commercial talking about what I do. And that’s because I was chosen as a Black Innovator by XFINITY Comcast’s CelebrateBlackTV.com, along with Issa Rae and Ava DuVernay! It’s part …

After 2 days in Cape Town (read my post on 5 Awesome Places to Visit in Cape Town), I took a 2-hour flight and landed in Johannesburg ready to speak at Social Media Week Jozi and excited for almost 4 days of adventures. I truly didn’t realize I would have …

I just got back from one of the best trips I have ever taken. My jaunt to South Africa for 6 days (2 in Cape Town, 4 in Johannesburg) was one of those experiences that I want to call “epic” but since that word is so overused, the meaning has …
