When you see these, you too will say, huh? But I’ve confirmed them with people who know me and my writing and they say, yeah – it’s me they’re talking about.
First, the more easily understood: 101 Women Bloggers To Watch Fall 2008. Thank you, very, very much.
Now, the less easily understood but, in some ways, far more notable (absolutely no offense intended to WE Magazine): Black Blogs 2 - a second installment of blogs and sites that the blog author recommends for people looking for black blogs. Now, before you start wondering, I checked this out with some of my sistas, and they assure me that I am okay for the list.
I gotta tell you – honestly? That is a huge feather in a cap to me, huge.
Anyway – it’s too late to unpack that, but I really thank the folks there and would love to learn how they found my blog. I really appreciate the recognition. And if it’s a mistake, well, you know, there’s always that too.

Congrats.
Jill, you are a Sista! Congrats!
Thanks, Ben.
Babz – seriously? I’ll never stop working at being that but even if I’m never really one, you and others have helped at least this one person open her eyes and SEE privilege. I know I’m not checking it as often as I need to – I made a big error on that just yesterday – but I did see it.
What’s really weird? Now, you know, whenever I see privilege in action, you know – really recognize it, wow – it’s like, How did I not SEE that? I think the biggest trick is knowing what I can do, or any one person can do.
I’ll be learning the rest of my life. But I feel very lucky to be at this point now while I can still call it out – or see my mistakes and change.
Thanks, sista.
Jill – late to the party, as always. Yippee! Some good news on a gloomy day.
Dear Jill,
Thanks so much for mentioning the list to your readers. We are delighted you are in our 101 Women Boggers to Watch (and READ)for Fall 2008… Of course, you totally deserve the mention and I am glad to see others recognize your talent (especially the Big Guys!). Makes the journey that much more interesting, don’t you think?
Hope you get tons of traffic and new subscribers.
Have a great day and thanks for all you do,

Jill:
Hey sista girl! See, it’s not just me who digs you as a sister. (Dang, I feel a chorus of “We Are Family” coming on!)
Seriously, tho, being a true “sista” is something that can no longer be defined by race. Now we just have to work on the rest of the world, huh?
Peace
Well – I have a long way to go but I have met some unbelievable sistas of every stripe along the way – incredibly charitable to me who really has so much to be thankful for – now them, and you, included. I am really, really humbled. Thank you.
