My Mic Sounds Nice
Last night was that type of time. I screened the forthcoming BET original music documentary: My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth about Women and Hip Hop. Directed and executive produced by independent filmmaker Ava DuVernay, the documentary chronicles the history of female MCs from hip-hop's early days with the likes of Sequence to present day, when popular media suggests that the only MC left standing is Nicki Minaj.

Fellina is an advocate for youth, a supporter, an educator, a mother, and someone who you'll be seeing a lot more of at the BackList. In this video, you get to learn more about what she does at the BL, future plans, her battle with depression, and of course how she found renewal.

THE BRIDGE IS OVER is a comprehensive electronic resource for educators and youth workers packed with innovative techniques, ideas, and concepts to engage youth using the power of words. This exciting endeavor comes in response to the growing questions of our times: How do we connect youth with literature and foster an appreciation of words?
In an effort to encourage and inspire youth to read and use the power of their voice, Grammy® winner, actor and children's author Common, launches the first national online book club at www.commongroundfoundation.org/thecorner.html. The Corner book club is an interactive way for 8th-12th grade students to learn and to talk about reading materials that are relevant to their life.
We are so excited. The second issue of THE BRIDGE IS OVER is ready! And it's bigger and better!
During the very rainy Baltimore Book Festival (which we need to blog about), I had the chance to interview Ron Kavanaugh of Mosaic Literary Magazine. Ron has been in the game for 10 years and counting.
So there's been lots of talk about the lack of titles for African American teens. BackListed recently discussed what HOTLANTA co-author Denene Millner called a "dearth of books written for African-American teens."
BackList TV: Episode 0
As another attempt to connect with all you word lovers out there, BackList is starting to create video blogs. This first episode is an introduction to all the changes we're experiencing, but also includes a segment highlighting books. Bear with us, we're new to this. So the quality may be a tad, uh, experimental (read: low budget).
BackList and I are featured in the September/October issue of Upscale magazine. Jennifer Hudson graces the cover.
One of our favorite literary events is rapidly approaching. The Baltimore Book Festival will take place September 26-28. BackList will be exhibiting. We'll be selling copies of my book, providing more information on many of services, selling copies of our newest resource The Bridge is Over, and much much more!

I've Got a New Attitude
You know how when you get your hair done, or a new outfit, somehow, psychologically, you feel different? Well feliciapride.com and thebacklist.net both have new looks and boy do we have new attitudes as a result. The new sites, which are linked to one another, finally reflect the new direction of both yours truly and my company BackList--including a renewed mission and focus as well as expanded services.
