Atlanta or Bust

The time has come for me to leave Washington. For years, I've known I would be leaving, I just didn't know when. After nearly 15 years here, it literally is time for me to go.  My cards have arranged themselves so that I have the chance for a reset - a fresh start in Atlanta to experience life's new adventures.

I started SterlingFlow Media Group to recreate the energy, the creativity, and the spirit of being alive in Atlanta as a student at Spelman College.  Fourteen years later I'm returning with a laser focus to create a new ‪‎employment opportunity for myself that speaks to my varied interests in digital media, technology, and business.

All of our heads are better than one

I'm asking you, my network, members of My Board of Innovation, to help point me in the direction of jobs in the fields of digital marketing (including social media), public affairs, government relations, or even tech start-ups. The right job for me might not have a title yet, but it requires a person like me who has developed a diverse set of skills.

I'm taking my hunt online. Follow me at:

Twitter: @sfmgdigital

Instagram: @sterlingflowmedia

Tumblr: sterlingflowmedia.tumblr.com

YouTube: @SFMGDigital

I'll use my social media accounts, borrowed from my freelance digital marketing firmSFMGDigital, to crowdsource for information on opportunities, as well as broadcast to recruiters and potential employers with my unique view of digital media for the flow of life.

As you watch the posts, let me know what you think about my employment aspirations and if you have any ony opportunities in mind for me. I'm open to many informational interviews.

I'll talk more about my specific skills and the types positions I'm interested in a future post. Keep your eye open.

Before you go, you'd be doing me a very big favor by liking the SterlingFlow Media Group company page on LinkedIn.

Yesterday I posted my first video - introducing myself and my crowdsourcing employment interests. Check out the video and let me know if you have any leads: https://youtu.be/JOMiUc3xAnQ

What do you do when your website is hacked?

Back to Tumblr I go. I'll admit, I'm not a webmaster. A few vaguely well put together websites does not a webmaster make. I fell down on some important updates and next thing you know, my sites are "under the weather" with malware. So, as I actively crowdsource my next position in Atlanta, Georgia this blog is coming back to life. I considered a few other platforms, but why recreate the wheel? I'll be posting varied and creative content across the following social media platforms Twitter: @sfmgdigital Facebook: www.facebook.com/sfmgdigital LinkedIn: SterlingFlow Media Group YouTube: SFMGdigital

Facebook Live Ups the Ante

Facebook is a behemoth and a johnny come lately all at the same time. It must be difficult to stay ahead of smaller, more agile businesses that can focus on one thing well – Like Periscope, or Snapchat. Not one to be outdone by either service, Facebook has up’d the ante on Facebook Live, with features that are sure to impress users of either Periscope or Snapchat. Facebook did some social…

3 percent of the decision-making in media comes from women. That means 97 percent of how women are portrayed is decided on by men.

Independent Lens, PBS “Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines” (via ihopeyoucontinue4ever)

It also means that 97 percent of how men are portrayed in media are decided on by men. Something to remind MRAs and their ilk of when they complain about the stereotype of men as inept slobs, bad fathers, etc in media and advertising.

Men have the power. So when we men are shat on by the powers that be you don’t get to try and blame women for that.
