The name of this website was going to represent all that is beautiful about Black people, and that starts with our beginning. A very wise friend of mine suggested that I utilize the name of the first freed slave or the slave name of the family who earned their freedom papers. I thought this was a great idea, however despite all my efforts I could not find the names. So, I thought I would post this on my blog so that one day someone who is following me or read this randomly might assist me in finding this information.
I decided to name this blog Black A.C.C.E.S.S. because I want our community to have a opportunity to access all that is wonderful about being "Black in America". Though I am in the process of preparing for my qualifying exams, I plan to utilize this blog as my sanity. Most of the things that I post will be sports related. I will also focus on putting positive spins on the negative images put in the news about Black people.
Nameka specializes in celebrating the athletic experience through academic and practitioner applications of the athlete experience. In an effort to have athletic voices more visible in society, my goal is to utilize this blog to share stories and ideas that enhance our "human" understanding of the athlete experience for myself and the world.
