  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

Back Where I Belong at iZania

The last blog post I did here was in 2011.  That was nearly two years ago.  A LOT has happened since then.  Let's just say I've been around the world discovering and learning new things and now I've returned home---where I belong.

Roger Madison, the mastermind behind iZania, has been an huge supporter in my camp and has given me an opportunity to be a voice in his space.  Of course, he'll say this space belongs to ALL of us but I know the hard work he puts into this site so he deserves ALL the credit.

I am returning to share my knowledge and expertise with you as a Media Trainer  and PR expert. You see,  too many of us are missing the boat when it comes to promoting who we are and what we do because we don't know how to do it effectively.

As someone who has spent more than 30 years in the broadcast industry, I want to share my knowledge with you. To learn more about me, go here:  http://beverlymahone.com/about/

What I do is help people learn different ways to get their "shine" on so they can be seen, heard and valued.  I look forward to sharing with you and if you have any questions, please feel free to post them at the end of my future blog posts.
