Well after a year and a half of plotting, planning, writing and thinking I finally just went ahead and did it. I put together my own website with the help of Tumblr, Style Hatch, and Mr. Wesley Beeks who designed the background. This couldn’t have been done, however, without the support and advice of Suzay, Jadalia Britto and Khadi.
This site is a multidimensional representation of what I think, what I do and what I can offer to my community. This is my official online entrée into the entrepreneurial world and I plan to document it by doing what I do best: critical thinking and analytical writing. It is also a vehicle for me to share the ideas of others who I network with in the virtual world. There are a lot of intriguing ideas on the interwebs and this site will bring them together for our churning pleasure.
In the spirit of ordering the brain churn here are a couple of tips on how to approach this site:
- Much of the content is fed from outside sources. Every effort is taken to give credit to the original author. Occasionally I will add commentary. For an example see here.
- Original content that I produce, minimally three times a week, will include the tag “Original Churn” in the title and as a tag.
- Feel free to ask me questions here. I will respond as soon as possible.
- All inquiries regarding partnerships, collaborations or hiring me for your project can be sent here.
That is all for now kinderen. Catch you on the next churn!
I have a few followers living in The Netherlands (well, we are not exactly a multitude on Tumblr), but I would invite you to check Negarra’s Tumblr. Heck even if you are not in NL, check her out.
From her About page, this is who she is:
Negarra Kudumu writes as an imperative. Primarily, she is expressing her relationship with the world and the transformations that ensue. This engagement with language and social concerns comes from a deep commitment to see critical change in the ideas concerning representation, transformation, identity, the African Diaspora, narratives, cities, class, social movements, Latin America, education, health care, social policy, race, globalization, justice, mental health, spirituality, the creative process, the production of culture and the fruits of technology.[…]
Possessing a MA in International Relations & Diplomacy from Leiden University and a BA in Latin American, Latino and Caribbean Studies from Dartmouth College, Negarra’s point of view is constructed upon a foundation that is multicultural, multidisciplinary and thus multidimensional.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
