This past weekend I asked an older poet when she would give me permission to record her on video. Her response was, "Probably never."
I respect her decision and will allow a few more months to elapse on before I ask again. But this video by the Spellman Oral History Project is the reason I keep asking older women to allow themselves to be recorded.
Mrs. Cooper at 108 has made her transition to the upper realm. In this short video she has graced us with a life that is far deeper than we know and has possible clues about on how shall we go forward.

Adrianne George - Black Women In Europe Power List
I met Adrianne a few years ago at BlogHer. She is an American Expat living in Europe. This is a simple but powerful video.
Per Adrianne:
Women on the Black Women in Europe™: Power List include seasoned politicians, accomplished performers, and champion athletes as well as social entrepreneurs and rising stars in the business world. “This list will serve as a source of inspiration to black women everywhere”
Sometime you just need words and pictures to tell your story. When we think of Europe we don't think of the black women and women of color who not only live in Europe but are helping to transform and advance that section of the world.
This is Adrianne's video on the Black Women in Europe Power List. For more information about what folks are doing across the creek visit Adrianne's blog Black Women in Europe.

It Gets Better - Sera T
This video is from Sera T who speaks about being a bi-sexual transgirl, the difference between gender and orientation and being true to yourself.
Long after we forget the reasons for these videos it is important that we speak louder than the haters and fear mongers.
We can do better. This is a step in the right direction. For more information and videos visit the It Gets Better project channel on YouTube.

It Gets Better - Deb Adler
I want to do a cross section of the many videos being uploaded not by celebrities but by people who have life experiences and stories to tell. Some of them have had success and some folks have come up on the rough side of the mountain.
Either way they are still here to tell their stories. This is Deb's.

Margaret Fabrizio and How She Vlogs
September 12,2010 Correctional Update:
I made a major boo-boo. This isn't Brook Hinton, this is Margaret Fabrizio. Brook explains how I got confused in the comments. My apologies to both of them but none the less, if you are 80 years or younger pick up a camera and declare yourself.
Anyway this still is a grand video. It shouldn't matter one bit how old Margaret is and I will continue to point to her as a pathfinder. It will make my efforts to get the 50 to 70 year old people off their butts and get to work a bit easier.
Those under 40 I'm not going to show much mercy. I want you to create.
This is an exploration of creativity, of personal history used as a story narrative that the abundance we all have to transport ourselves into a bit of the future. Do it. It is possible.
If you would like to check out Brook Hinton's work visit the web site and dive in.

NY State Senator Diane Savino on Gay Marriage Bill
A politician is a speaker of agendas. That is why they are elected; because the politician resonates with their constituents on a number of issues. Or not. We rarely get to hear full sentences or expanded comments unless we are watching the feed from C-Span or local government.
In December of 2009 New York Senator Diane Savino spoke about the gay marriage bill for New York state. I'm posting this because we need to see examples of women speaking on an issue of the day where they have an elected voice in the process.
This is her comments about the bill.

Letting Ideas Find You - Quick Tips for Busy Women
Sometimes an idea will walk up to me and stick like static. I had to do three things at once today. This idea was waiting for me to see it. This is number two in a series of posts to help women get started in web video or videoblogging.
I'm on mission and never mind I violated my self-imposed rule of no more than five minutes yakking time. I'll see what I can do in the edit but I feel good about this post.
I hate doing Talking Head videos, by the way. Reminds me of too many things to recount, like grammar school flashbacks. Anyway, two videos down, five to go!

Valentine's Day :: Spring Fever
Oh. Got it bad.
I'm as restless as a poet on a string.
POST NOTE: Found this in drafts and decided to post it now - regardless of the strange summer timing.
Appropriate to recall winter @ the beginning of summer.

Mena Trott At TED 2006
We are all running around doing, doing and trying to make the invisible real.
We rank and catalog what is and is not important. Worse, others who barely understand us rank and dispose of what they do not understand.
In this 2006 TED Talk Mena Trott makes the case that blogs and bloggers are a valid and essential part of the storytelling tradition. Mena is one of the founders of Six Apart. For more information and inspiration visit http://www.ted.com
