WELCOME

Hey I just wanted to create a post where lurkers, newcomers, or anyone could come and intro themselves. It's my hope that over the next couple of months that this place will become more active from the readership side (and mine too!)

Info to post (or you know comment what ever you want):

what brought you here:
what are your interests:
favorite rap/hip-hop act?:

name: Jocelyn or Gogojojo or Jozzy or JT Money or Young Joc or Your supreme highn--okay not that last one
what brought you here: it's my blog! but really i started this blog because i wanted to have a discussion about politics and popular culture that wasn't mutually exclusive. people tell me often that i have a lot to say about a lot of stuff...and I decided to put about 1/6 of my thoughts here (i don't write as often as i should)
what are your interests: politics, rap, music in general, queer stuff, femme stuff, WOC blogosphere, feminist blogosphere, film, television, pop culture more broadly, activism, teaching, learning, self reflection and growth.
