As many of you know this blog is mostly to announce specifics of the upcoming Nubian Dreams Cruise, however, on rare occasions we will spotlight topics of interest to our visitors. During our many seminars during the Nubian Dreams Cruise I this past October, we focused on networking, personal responsibility, media matters and other issues. Well this week in television has presented two examples of what we discussed and how it works. First is the responsibility we all have to work together and to network to make things happen and the second shows the pride we feel we it manifests itself.

The first program I saw was CNN's Heroes where individuals that made sacrifices for others. Small contributions that turned into big movements. The replay is on tonight on CNN. Check your local listing for this truly inspiring program.

The second was the joy watching Barbara Walters interview with the President Elect Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. Again, we should take pride in witnessing this historic event. We, the people, made it happen. If you missed the airing last night you can view it online now by clicking here.

Next up, Nubian Dreams is please to announce the return of the Nubian Dreams Lounge on MLK Day, Thursday - Jan. 15th. This year we are doing different programming. Our kickoff event will be held at the The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center - 208 W 13th S. Rm. 301 – Lerner Auditorium, New York, NY 10011
