Ok, I admit it. I am not well traveled - I have been to Jamica once (Honeymoon) and on one Caribbean Cruise. Mostly, I travel via the world wide web - me and Google have a thing going on.
I have friends from all over the world thru my Myspace and other internet "web 2.0" vehicles.
So, here am at my first CMExchange Conference - doing a presentation on "Digital Media Strategies" - In the beautiful country of Puerto Rico. WOW. God is amazing.
So far I've managed to keep my wonderment to myself - this is truly the most mind-blowing experience I've had all year. (Like I said, I'm stuck to my computer most days) doing Ministry Marketing Solutions.com
After the invitation to come to CMEx, My first question to Andria Halll & Bevan Springer (in my mind) "So, what is the DIASPORA?"
Diaspora -
a. A dispersion of a people from their original homeland.
b. The community formed by such a people: "the glutinous dish known throughout the [West African] diaspora as ... fufu" Jonell Nash
.
4. diaspora A dispersion of an originally homogeneous entity, such as a language or culture: "the diaspora of English into several mutually incomprehensible languages" Randolph Quirk.
I thank God for this opportunity to share and learn from all the people of the Diaspora.
The quality of the people here is outstanding and amazing.
Now I WILL visit www.caribbeanmediaexchange.com often - and get out there and vist the Caribbean a lot - in person! Stay tuned after I realy tour the place! I'm sure this will better than the brochure. :)
