The Second ABW NYC Meetup
I promised you a long time ago that we would have another NYC meetup for ABW readers and fans. Sorry it has taken me so long to set another up. As in my last post, layoffs, upheaval. People who went to the FaceBook page may
ABW and FaceBook, Round 2
So something weird happened to the first ABW FaceBook page. Not a clue, and I didn’t have the energy to worry about it at the time (layoffs, life upheavals, you know the drill). A second ABW FaceBook page has is now live and is more
Fen Of Color United
So, Neo_Prodigy over at Live Journal has hatched a plan for a protest of all the Fail that has been Race in Sci-Fi discussions lately. I think his idea is genius. What is it? As RaceFail 09 continues, it has become clear that there are
Original ABWs: Nina Simone

There are Three of Us, Yanno
Something I’ve been meaning to post/clear up for a while. Many regular readers know this, but for those who don’t: there are three women who regularly post on this site. There’s me, the original Angry Black Woman, then there’s nojojojo/Nora and Karnythia. For a long
