For class assignment

Hello all,
My name is Zuri Davenport. I've been in the MLIS program at UNCG for a year and a half. I'm originally from Greenville, SC and have lived in Winston Salem since graduating in 2009. Currently I work as the Adult Services Librarian at Rural Hall Public Library in Forsyth County. I'm pretty new there (just started this summer) and so far I'm really am enjoying it.
As far as my knowledge of Web 2.0 it is pretty basic knowledge. I figure I have as much knowledge of Web 2.0 as anybody that uses the web and social networks on a daily bases. I'm excited about the increase in knowledge from this course. Hope it continues to be a great semester.

It's been a year?

Can't believe it's been a year since I last blogged. Now that that is out of the way, lets get to business. I really like Kendrick Lamar. Yeah I got in on the whole Swimming Pools  frenzy, but you wouldn't know it now. I've downloaded a lot of lot of his songs, and even the ones I don't really feel, I like them better than the other shit that's out. His flows different. It really calls back to the old hip hop of Cali...meaning old I means 90's. It. Go. Hard.  But it definitely stands on its own. But I didn't know why I liked it so much. Then as the good librarian I am, I found THIS article------> http://www.rapzilla.com/rz/features/story/5248 Basically, it looks at Kendrick's music from the Church Hip Hop perspective. While reading the article, I damn near went to church myself because I figured out why I like him. He is a spiritualistic artist. He takes the hierarchal aspect of religion out of the question and puts spirituality into a  re...

Mustard Seed of Niche

Still writing this way. If you want a life update, I did very convoluted update post here . But I wanted to share this Medium post I wrote. Hope get something out of it. Cheers! Mustard Seed of Niche And no, I’m not religious. While Christianity is deep seeded within American society, I do not claim any religion as my own. I’m more of a “Commune with Nature” kind of guy. Like most new writers, I’m still discovering what my niche is. I have many interest. Sometimes I can be flighty. But I’m recognizing what has stuck around all my life and have an urge to add more energy, time and resources into those things. One of the things has been writing. Like a lot of us, writing has been a form of expression. A way to communicate to others ideas, concepts and narratives. And in the process of trying to convey my own ideas, concepts and narratives, I realized that I was just writing to see what stuck. The intent was to get read by as many people as possible. I’m realizing now that writing to just...

Why Be Trans (Part 2)

Before and Now (2008 & Present) Life Updates: Still writing, still not fully employed.  I'm doing a self preservation project of downloading tagged photos of myself from Facebook. At first I thought it was a vain thing, but then realized it's a chronicle of my physical transition. Hell, I've never done a side by side comparison like the one above as I've seen all trans folx do who physically transition.  After 10+ years, I'd forgotten what I looked like. I'd forgotten how white Salem was. I'd forgotten the dumb shit we'd felt worthy of documenting. I looked pretty happy in that bubble.  Clicking through artifacts of formative years, I can't help but think once again why am I trans? And not only am I trans, but I've made choices towards physical transition. But why did I feel it necessary to make those choices? There are plenty of closeted trans people in the world. People that fantasize in the dark because the dark is the only place they feel...
