Garlin’s interview on the Color of Change - Michael Baisden situation
November 15, 2007
Yesterday evening I was interviewd by George Cooper from Let’s Talk Honestly as part of his LTH Special Report: Why black bloggers are mad at Michael Baisden.
My piece begins at the 14.18 mark and lasts for approximately 8 minutes, through 22.32, but I encourage you to listen to the voices and perspectives of the other Black bloggers featured. They are:
- Dwight Hunter, exodusmentality
- Yobachi Boswell, blackperspective.net
- Gina McCauley, whataboutourdaughters.blogspot.com
We’ve stated our position here, and this interview was a chance to communicate it on another platform. The issue to me is about embracing the next generation of activism and respecting the results that online activism has produced. The SuperSpade, Color of Change, and members of the blacknetaction coalition are committed to making a difference today, tomorrow, and beyond in a transparent, accountable, and measurable way.

The SuperSpade Black History Month Presentation
March 3, 2007
This past Tuesday, 28 February 2007, I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at Seattle’s Central Youth & Family Services Black History Month Program.
Here is a link to my short address (WAV Format, 9 min 6 seconds, 8.33 MB). I talked about the importance of finding mentors and connecting with people that have experiences in areas that you care about and are interested in.
The entire program was a lot of fun, and there was food, trivia, and good times all around. I got to stay and connect with many of the people in CYFS’s programs and talk with staff members too.

The SuperSpade on ‘Integrating with Alternative Media’
February 11, 2007
I have recently joined a group called the Northwest Progressive Institute (NPI). Yesterday, I participated in a panel discussion called “Integrating with Alternative Media,” and these are a few things I talked about:
- The importance of media & communication to revolution
- Reaching out to more people by using multimedia (audio, video)
- Reaching more people by partnering with alternative media (Public TV, Low Power FM Radio, etc.)
There’s more in there as well, including why it is important to connect and work with ethnic media, the largest for of alternative media.

The SuperSpade Interview on Radio Nation with Dr. Laura Flanders
January 15, 2007
Family,
Here is the audio (1 min 51 sec, wav file) from my brief interview on Radio Nation with Dr. Laura Flanders this past Saturday night while I was in Memphis, TN at the Free Press National Conference on Media Reform. I used this time to describe what the mission and vision of The SuperSpade is to a broad audience.
This gathering was one of the most inspiring and energizing assemblies that I have ever attended. I will reflect more on the conference, who I met, and what I learned a bit later. The SuperSpade was very well received.
I am back in Seattle for all of one day before I go to Detroit for a few days this week.
Happy MLK Day everyone. Use this as a day of learning and not of laziness.
