I have been tagged by Vanessa, blogger of On the Black Hand Side and vanessabyers.net, with the Thinking Blogger Award. I appreciate it a lot and am humbly honored to receive this award. The award was started by ilker yoldas and in receiving it I am to select 5 blogs that make me think. If you check out Vanessa’s post, my list would be similar to hers, but I think I can come up with some others.

The participation rules are simple:
1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the ‘Thinking Blogger Award’ with a link to the post that you wrote (here is an alternative silver version if gold doesn’t fit your blog).

Thinking Blogger Award

Here’s my list:

  • Benin Mwangi – I’m really interested in learning how to do business in Africa. I think the media in the U.S. has given us a skewed view of the country and in the process, we’re missing out on the opportunities they have to offer. Benin does a good job in discussing and informing his readers about the potential for entreprenuers who seek to do business overseas.
  • Black In Business – I’m a black business owner, so this one caught my eye the first time I visited the site. JD has some informative posts about being an African-American in the business world. I enjoy reading about some of his personal case studies and there’s always something good to comment on.
  • Dallas South Blog -Shawn does a great job about keeping me informed about things going on in the south side of Dallas. Even if you’re not from the Dallas area, the posts he writes covers topics regarding things that every black community faces at some time or another. Definitely a quality blog.
  • Who is M.L. Hodges? – I don’t consider myself to be a writer, but if I had to model myself after one, Martin would be it. I enjoy reading his posts because he writes them exactly as I hope to do someday. He’s also one of the guys that participates in my Brothas Podcast.
  • Our World My Perspective – Jimmy is new to the blogging world, but I know him personally, so this will be a blog to keep an eye on. He’s definitely a thinker and I can’t wait to see what he has for us in the future.

Well, that’s my fave five. Thanks again Vanessa for the award and I hope you all enjoy the blogs I’ve mentioned. I plan on putting together another podcast this weekend, so be on the lookout for it.

    7. Theo:

    You are certainly a thinker. And you deserved the award. You also deserve kudos for being such a trailblazer in the podcasting arena.

    Thanks, Theo!

    8. Also Theo, thanks for being a though provoking podcast and not just adding to biased and poorly thought out rhetoric out there on the internet and media in general. We have to see all sides of an issue before we cast judgement and your site promotes that.

    9. Benin & Joel, thanks for the comments and support. I enjoy doing both and I’ve been having a lot of fun doing the group podcast. I have the pleasure of knowing some pretty intelligent people, so it’s fun to hear the different points of view from everyone.

    Benin, I do have plans on getting with you for an episode. Keep up the good work on the blog.

Tell me what you're thinking...
