Black Networking Lost Art or Psychological Barrier
Written by Jason Rainford Burr |
The term networking refers to the ability and willingness to extend professional avenues and advice to colleagues and other similarly related individuals in efforts to advance professional potential. The application of this concept would seem to be a natural motivation for anyone, as people generally tend to look out for the well being of those who they know, trust, and are close to. Consequently, you don’t have to look very hard to see how cultural groups like the Jewish, Asian, Middle Eastern, and Hispanic populations employ professional networking in their communities. Entire business ventures and highly successful corporations are often dominated by closely knit circles of personally affiliated individuals, who often share the same ethnic group.

I decided to give a Black Male response to this article because, with the exception of Essence and Ebony, the debate on sexuality is dominated by white women. I bought the magazine for research, and became captivated by the content. I decided to get
The Massive Confusion over Women Broken Down
Written by Tiffani Bowen |
This is not too difficult a topic to understand for many, other than men. As a black woman I have come to conclude the question marks over the psyche of a woman are not all that confusing, yet the topic needs to be broken down into simplicity measures. Trust, respect, monogamy and real love are all that many black women want in a black man. The other “stuff” is genuinely just an extra incentive.
