MML Live

My trip to Africa got deaded this weekend; one needs malaria and yellow fever shots (and a visa) before one can travel to Cameroon. Wish Air France had said that before, but the ticket was free, so no worries. In other news, I’ll be speaking a couple places in the next few weeks, and I wanted to mention it outside the Apperances page.

Bright and early Wednesday morning, March 26, I’ll be speaking at France-Amériques about the lack of black faces in the French media. It’s part of “Médias & Nouvelles Générations Urbaines: Exclusion ou Intégration?,” a program sponsored by the American Embassy and TraceTV (the premiere urban cable network in France that’s, yes, related to Trace magazine). Then in a few weeks (April 11) out in Seattle, the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum Hall of Fame is doing their annual Pop Conference and I’m giving a 20-minute talk about French hiphop on a panel. If you’re around Paris or Seattle, come hither.
