About the Dogon Village
Dogon is read “Dog-On” by some and Dogon by others. We believe that it takes a Dog-On Village to raise a child and that proper education requires a thorough knowledge of history including the ancient Dogon tribe of Mali located in the Homburi Mountains just outside of Timbuktu. Children, elders and technically savvy remember to click on the “Dog On” Village and upon arrival, encounter an experience that informs, educates, motivates, validates, and invigorates.
The Dogon Village Digital Hit Squad (DHS) partners with civic organizations to help encourage citizens to register and vote. In 2000, the DHS made history successfully mobilizing the Black Community in Phoenix Arizona for the first legally sanctioned online elections ever. The DHS set up computer access in barber shops, churches, and community centers allowing people to register and vote online. Featured in USA Today, the DHS was credited with contributing to a historic increase in voter turnout.

Speaking of business...did you ever wonder about the life of a pimp? Why someone would select such an unsavory business? What a pimp really thinks of women?
Well, go to Jay King's radio show at www.blogtalkradio.com/Jay-King to hear a perspective on the pimp game from well-know pimps and ex-pimps like Gangsta Brown and Bishop don Juan. My personal opinion -- pimps are a bit twisted and the women working for them have worse problems! But I digress.
I don’t know how many of you remember Jay… Continue

Learn How To Do Business With The DOE
Here is an opportunity for my West Coast friends to do some real networking....You can't hit a home run, unless you're dressed and ready to play the game

Should We Save Black Radio?
By Paul Scott
Source: No warning Shots Fired.com
Funerals are funny things, sometimes. Never mind that the dearly departed cheated on his wife, borrowed a small fortune of unpaid loans from friends and habitually kicked his neighbor's dog, according to the pastor during the eulogy, the man was a saint.
I thought about that scenario when… Continue

The most Sacred Observance in the Dogon Cosmology Sigi Festival
Sigi Festival
Another extraordinary event of the Dogon people is the Sigi festival. It is a the most important animist ritual celebrated every sixty years. Given the Dogon’s cosmology, it has been considered to coincide with the apparition of the Sirius B or Dog star.
A particularly lucky Dogon person sees two Sigi in his or her lifetime, and hears a third sigi: the first in his/her mother’s womb, the second at middle age and the last in old age. The Sigi dance, ca… Continue
