Pittershawn Palmer
I am a writer. But I am human first. I am a female, a woman, a spiritual soul who goes beyond all this world has said I should. Writing is my profession and only one dimension of me, a multi-dimensional creature with various thoughts and beliefs that transcend me, the writer-a small part of the goddess I am and will always be.

Beverly Mahone
I call myself a JOURNALIST UNLEASHED! After spending more than 25 years in the radio and television news business being "objective", I can now say what I really think and feel about what's going on in the world. I also describe myself as a “Baby Boomer Diva on the Move” who has a passion for God and family.

Roger Madison
Life in the Fast Lane
Throughout 2009, I will share my thoughts through the Blog title -- Life in the Fast Lane. In my life experience, I have observed that I must run faster, get up earlier, stay up later, study harder, and have greater faith in the outcome of my efforts to achieve my goals as a Black man. I can lament this necessity, or I can move into the FAST LANE to catch up and accelerate past those ahead of me. There are no free passes to the head of the line .
