'A Footprint for Inspiration'

To mark the end of this Women’s Month, I thought of bringing here something that, if nothing else, will always make me feel that this blog was somehow worthwhile. It is the first post on the blogosphere by a sista, Kentke, who credited me with having inspired her to start her own blog back on September 2007.

Regrettably, on the third birthday of her blog, she decided to stop it – I which she had meant “suspend” it for just a while… So, hoping that this may help her reverse that decision, here is what, using the metaphor of the picture illustrating this post which I’ve taken from this post of hers, I would call a footprint, at least as far as both of us are concerned, for friendship and mutual inspiration between black female bloggers:


My Goodness~

Thank you Koluki for such an honor to appear on your blog, as my introduction to the Blogging world. Your blog and our communication has been a fruitful inspiration, as yesterday (9/16/07), I launched my own blog (smile).
My first post includes the blog on your page, but it is preceeded by a call to celebrate today September 17th, the birth date of Agostinho Neto. It's entitled 'Celebrating the Life of one of Africa's greatest Leaders.'
I hope you and your readers will check the "Knewz from Meroe West", and share from the Heart. So many of Angola's children are now called (African-)Americans....it's only natural and perfect that we talk, ....get reacquainted...and ultimately, see what we come up with. Dr. Neto would be quite pleased.

Back to something more interesting......the African Bloggers.
Here's a sister, from Angola that I recently discovered: Koluki
Great music, graphics and art, some of it is in Portugues, but alot in English. Check her out.
I wrote and shared a story of my ancestors, and she encouraged me to tell the story in her blog as a comment on reparations. Well friends....I've made an effort to do so. I'm going to add here what I shared so that you can comment on it too.

My Sister, WELCOME TO THE BLOGOSPHERE!
I'm so happy that you decided to create your own blog! I will definitely visit as if it were my 'kimbo' and will link it on my blogroll. To celebrate I leave here this poem: [Agostinho Neto by Chinua Achebe, recently remembered here]
