  1. This is my Q&A to Jessica Amadi , Rivers Angels FC media officer When did you start as the media officer to Rivers Angels F.C. ? August 28, 2015 Is there any media officer to a sporting team or organization that you admire? That would be the former media officer of defunct Dolphins, China Acheru The Nigerian league is the strongest womens league in C.A.F. , what should it emulate from other leagues media-wise to grow? It should get closer to the communities and always respect player’s contracts. Many say big clubs around the world in the men’s game have lost their communal feeling, do you have any idea how that can be stopped in the women’s game? Like I said, our female teams should get closer to the communities since women football in the country is not as strong as that of the men. If games will be taken to either the Universities or community fields, trust me, the awareness will be enormous What is the best advertisement/commercial/promotional for soccer you know of in each confederation: C.A.F./U.E.F.A./A.F.C./Con.Me.Bol./Co.N.C.A.C.A.F.? I really don’t have any in particular but think I’ll go with the Nike Airport 98’ What question did I not asked that you wanted me to? We have Continental competitions for the male league clubs in Africa…..why isn’t there one for the female clubs? What book are you reading now? If none, what was the last book you finished and when did you finish it? Act Like a Lady, Think like a Man Say one thing you know that few do? Ah!! Nothing more than gossip….lol If you have a chance to speak to one forebear, describe them as you want: who will it be, what will the topic be, and what will be the setting? My Grandmum, Topic: Too Soon! You should have waited to teach me more about our culture and those special delicacies of yours. When you have a chance to speak to the spirit to all that is or is not, what will you say? Always follow your heart and never give up on your dreams!

  3. Ahhh yes, while reading a Baldwin biography, the Harlem based one, it was mentioned there. I think . 😀
  4. I don't fundamental disagree with anything you just wrote @Pioneer1 my point deal with the relative level of stress experiences by Black teens today compared to Black kids in the 60s. Would you rather be a kid in the 1950s jim crow south or be a kid today living today in ATL, Charlotte, or Austin? Who do you think had more stress? Now I can see white teens being more stressed today than they were in the 50s but Black kids I dunno know. Of course there are exceptions. I know, for example, it was much more stressful for me growing up surrounded by crime, drugs, and crooked cops, than it would have been for some kid growing up in the 50s in the segregated south. A kid who had no reason to engage with white folks. Who never needed to lock a door, enjoyed fresh air, and fresh food. Now that I think more about it, I can see where the average kid today might be under more stress than I was or a kid or one from my parent's generation. I did not have to worry about social media, I was not the target of aggressive marketers trying to get me to buy everything (marketing to children was only just starting) , I did not have to worry about global warming, obesity, AIDS, terrorism, etc...
  5. Kind of like what you do for feminists, right? You don't speak for them...but you convey to us their likes and dislikes, lol. Chev To me this is just plain common sense. Mel Lightskinned and light eyed? Well....that's a start. You're on your way back home!
  6. @Mel Hopkins Will do! @Troy This would help me.
