Black Science Fiction Society
In my cyber travels, I have been fortunate enough to come across many interesting people, and some fascinating online communities. I've been able to cross paths with like-minded individuals, and other artistic souls. Since I've always been one to infuse my politics with my art, I had always hoped to be able to find a place where I could do just that.
Enter the Black Science Fiction Society.
They exist on a Ning platform. They're an online community that you can easily join, dedicated to expanding the Black/African presence in the genre of Science Fiction. Instead of just whining about not getting acceptance from white folks in that field, these people are actually doing something about it. They are very progressive in their ideas, and also in their creative ventures. One main thing about them that I like, is that they do a lot of stuff offline, as well as on their site.
You have many creative brothers and sisters on that site. They go from self-published authors, to artists...animators to publishers...poets to performance artists. They are a very tight-knit community, and are very supportive of each other.
They have many different genres that they cater to; Sword and Soul, Fantasy, Steampunk/Steamfunk, Military, Action/Adventure, Suspense, Fan Fiction, Comic Books, and so many others. They're not all diehard Afrocentrics, but a lot of their stories have elements of not only our continental culture, but also elements of the Diaspora.
Many are trying to collaborate with each other to work on projects. They've already produced a magazine, and a few anthologies. They even have an online store where you can purchase a number of the members' books. They've even created an online TV channel; you can join that site, and upload your content.
It is definitely a way for me to be able to creatively express myself. I've even posted and excerpt or two of some novels that I want to work on. I've always wanted a way to 'edu-tain' the masses. Perhaps for my next book idea, I should try my hand at fiction....?
If you get the opportunity, please go to their site, and join up. Purchase some of their products, and sample some of the groups that they have to offer. We need to support our own. Because if we don't....who will?

They also have a sister site called Wagadu

PLM Afrikan Marketplace
Since my time here in Baltimore, I have been lucky enough to be able to network and politic with a number of like-minded brothers and sisters out here. One of those groups of brothers and sisters dedicated to the uplift of our people/community is called Pan-Afrikan Liberation Movement, or PLM for short. These dedicated young brothers and sisters have created many programs to help engage the community in; one of such is their monthly Afrikan Marketplace.
Their monthly Afrikan Marketplace brings together the local community and Black business owners, gaining support and exposure for these Black-owned businesses, and also instilling the local residents with a sense of Ujamaa and Umoja (cooperative economics, and unity). They are circulating Black dollars within the Black community, trying to keep our money in our own community.
PLM's Afrikan Marketplace is held every 3rd Saturday of the month from 1pm-7pm. As of this posting, the next Afrikan marketplace will be held on Saturday, November 19th. The Marketplace is held at the Maggie Quile Druid Heights Community Center, located at 2140 McCulloh Street here in Baltimore, MD. For those of you interested in participating, PLM can be contacted at 443-257-2470, or you may email them at acefund04@gmail.com.
As I like to say when promoting their Afrikan Marketplace on other cyber locales....SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY!!!! SUPPORT BLACK BUSINESSES!!!!!!!!
