Background

Greetings and thanks for visiting my blog.

Its title was drafted from Carter G. Woodson’s classic “The Mis-Education of the Negro,” which talked about how Blacks themselves have ingested and fed stereotypes, lies and racist mannerisms to one another.

I don’t consider myself “Mis-educated” because it negates and deems worthless the last 16 years I’ve spent in school. But I do think, since graduating with my Bachelor’s in 2010, I’ve learned some valuable lessons outside the walls of a classroom that have “Re-educated” me and expanded my knowledge on life’s most important texts.

Before I pursue my graduate studies in the fall of 2012, I’ve decided to soak in  these nontraditional sources of information from the worlds of mass media, politics, marketing, sports, business and human relations.

They form society’s foundation.

Much love,

LaShonda
