Dear Friend, Colleague, Family,
I have upgraded my official website and thought I'd share my new look with you!
It still has some of the old features, like my publications and an updated bio, but
it has a new BLOG, in which you might want to participate. You know I have
always been interested in the African disapora, and Gene and I recently took
a couple of trips to some interesting places: BRAZIL AND NEW ORLEANS!

NEW WEBSITE BLOG
Check out my entries about presenting in the August 2014 8th Annual Black
Brazilian Researchers Conference, and our always-exciting trip to Salvador
Bahia in Northeast Brazil. Gene and I also went in April 2015 to New Orleans
where I presented my same research paper at the Annual Popular Culture
Association Conference. While there, we had a great ancestral time at Congo
Square in Louis Armstrong Park. New Orleans is a true testament to African
American culture. It's easy to put in your comments on the Blog, and I would
love to hear from you.

NEW BOOK IN PROGRESS
After my two books on global hip-hop, I am now turning to my own career in
DANCE! I am writing a memoir that will chronicle my dance career in Oakland-SF
Bay Area, New York, Boston, Copenhagen and Stockholm, Ghana, East St. Louis
with Katherine Dunham, Hawaii, and so many other places over 47 years. If you
know me, you know I have been there and have done it. I'm hoping it will be in print
in 2016. I will post some blog entries about the process soon. So check it out, and
follow along my life's journey, as I collect a life that I am still living.
