Ever heard of the term Creative Economy? Personally, I never had until I read an article entitled “Crafting markets for creative entrepreneurs.” Sounds interesting, right? I thought so too, so naturally I begin to read the article to see what it was about.   The article talks about an economy that consists of Maine workers who are pursuing creative endeavors --- design firms, technology innovators, potters, artists and etc.

The National Underground Spokenword Poetry Awards (NUSPA) -pronounced new-spa - has been coined “The Grammys for Spokenword.”

So, when my best friend found out his poetry collaboration book was nominated for a NUSPA, he actually called me (we always text, blame technology for diluting the essence of interpersonal relationships) to give me the good news.  And of course, I was elated.

Much to the anticipation of the African-American film world, the movie “Red Tails” will be released this coming Friday, January 20, 2012.   

I, myself, not being as big a movie buff as I once was, have not been able to miss the countless endorsements enticing consumers to sweep the box office on Friday.   From social media to public commentary, “Red Tails” has been in my visual forefront even before it has graced the big screen.
