When used correctly, social networks can be a very effective tool. They can help you meet people in your field, and advance your career. They can help you with promotion of things you want to get out to a broad audience. They can help you reconnect with people you lost contact with. There are many positives that can come from proper use of social networks.

It’s your fault. It’s all your fault. Everything wrong in your life is entirely your fault. Thank goodness for that! If it wasn’t your fault, then what control could you possibly have over making it better? But it’s not politically correct to write these things. If you are unemployed, it’s because of a lousy boss, the bad economy or terrible political leadership. If you have diabetes, it’s because of genes you inherited or the lack of money or time to eat properly. We are conditioned to believe that it is decidedly NOT our fault. We’re told it’s never our fault.

For Dosunmu, a Nigeria-born director, New York is once again the city of choice. It’s where he filmed his last movie “Restless City” and it’s in Brooklyn we follow the life of Adenike (Danai Gurira), a Nigerian newlywed who resorts to drastic measures after she discovers that she’s unable to conceive a child.

“It’s not about me, it’s not about the founders, it’s about us,” said Jackie Jerome Marks as he addressed guests at the semi-annual fellowship luncheon.

 

Looking around at the sea of smiling faces it’s easy to see the comradery that the fellowship luncheon brings. A chance to network, share ideas and connect with old friends the fellowship luncheon is a hot spot for young black professionals in the Lansing area.
