My School or Alma Mater:: Dartmouth College/New York University

My Career:: Author and Educator

My Accomplishments:: Recently, I won a grant, two years in a row, to produce and perform in a collaborative play: Diary Of A Mad Black Feminist.
Of course, I am also proud of my debut novel, E-Males, which has a five out of six star rating on Amazon.com. Lastly, my creative nonfiction story, Before We Were Gangstas, won Honorable Mention in the New Millenium National Writers of Creative Nonfiction Contest in 2003.

Why I'm Here:: Professional, To Network, To Make Friends, To Share Ideas, To Learn, To Change the World

My Passion:: My passion has always been writing, which is second only to thinking in my book (pun intended).

My Hopes:: My work is meant to change the stereotypes about African American women. I want to reveal the diversity within our community to the world which currently focuses on just one segment (the ghetto) as being representative of us all. Once this perception changes, I think it will influence public policy which has been directly linked to society's conceptions of race, class and gender.

My Dreams:: My dreams are the same as my hopes. i want to be instrumental in this change.

What Else?:: I want to be a resource for other writers. Because of my background and experience in publishing, I can be a source of information for those who need support and advice.

Now this on-line dating service, DateBook, seems for real, not like those crazy chat rooms I've been going to.

NPR's All Thing's Considered

I Vs. We: The 'Heart' Of Our Political Differences

For years, the Tea Party has held individualism up as the great American value. But columnist E.J. Dionne Jr. says that Americans historically have prized communitarianism just as much. In Our Divided Political Heart, Dionne argues that America is at its best when it balances the two.

Egyptians Prepare For Historic Presidential Vote

More than a year after its revolution, Egypt votes for a new president on Wednesday and Thursday. The race is wide open and none of the 12 candidates is expected to get an outright majority. If those forecasts prove true, a runoff will take place next month between the two top vote-getters.

'It Worked For Me': Life Lessons From Colin Powell

If you're looking for advice on leadership, it's good to start with a four-star general. In his new memoir, former Secretary of State Colin Powell offers advice and anecdotes drawn from his childhood in the Bronx and his military career — and reflects candidly about the lead-up to the Iraq war.

R.I. Strikes Out On Ex-Pitcher's Video Game Venture

After helping the Boston Red Sox win the World Series, pitcher Curt Schilling could do no wrong. Then news broke that his video game company had chewed through a $75 million state loan that it's struggling to pay off. Now, Rhode Island officials are moving to protect taxpayers from what appears to have been a very bad investment.

Former Taliban Stronghold Faces The Post-U.S. Future

In 2010, the southern Afghan town of Marjah was a haven for the Taliban and drug traffickers. Today, after a massive effort by the U.S. Marines, the Taliban have fled and the area is relatively peaceful. But many are concerned about Marjah's future once American combat forces leave the area.

As Egyptians Prepare To Vote, Jimmy Carter Watches 'Complete Transformation'

The former president is in Egypt to observe its first free presidential election, which begins on Wednesday.

Facebook Stock Continues Tumble After IPO

Facebook shares fell again on Tuesday — dropping almost 9 percent after falling 11 percent on Monday. It makes Facebook's initial public offering one of the worst performing IPOs of the past five years.

Exoneration List Shows Patterns In False Convictions

While we assume our judicial system occasionally makes mistakes, until recently no one had been tracking the number people in this country who are convicted and later exonerated. Now the National Registry of Exonerations has begun compiling these cases. Audie Cornish talks with the registry's editor, Samuel Gross, about some of the group's findings from the over 2,000 exonerations they've compiled.

Is Al-Qaida Dropping Clues About Planned Attacks?

Al-Qaida has had a habit of putting out subtle hints about attacks it's planning. In the wake of the recent airline bombing plot that was foiled, officials are looking back to see if the group telegraphed its intentions.

School Bus Driver Who Saved Students 'Was A Hero'

On Tuesday, family and loved ones in Chowchilla, Calif., remember a school bus driver who many consider an American hero. Thirty-six years ago, Ed Ray was driving his regular school bus route when it was hijacked. Everyone aboard was driven 100 miles, forced into a storage van, and buried alive. Audie Cornish speaks with Lynda Carrejo-Labendeira, who was on the bus that day.
