I recently launched an Internet radio talking heads show, which can be found on www.theresanance.org.

The objective of launching this hour-long format, which will have a global thrust, is to utilize every available media outlet there is to tell Black folks' stories. And, other stories as well.

It's called The Theresa Nance Show. I wanted to keep it simple. I'll offer commentaries and talk with guests of every political stripe. The topics will be diverse, along with interesting people from every sphere.

Years ago, I hosted a television cable talk show. Well-known personalities like the late state Sen. Wynona Lippman from Essex County and Christine Todd Whitman, before she became the first female governor of the Garden State, were just a few of the folks who stopped by. I hope this show will draw prominent individuals as well as plain old folks who have interesting lives, but aren't always able to discuss such lives on Oprah.

When I look at the magnificent Kathy Hughes, a Black "sista" who is mowing down the obstacles placed before her to become a wildly successful media mogul, it does my heart good.

John H. Johnson of Ebony fame and Robert Johnson of the Black Entertainment Television fame also opened doors for those who want to branch out into either the television media or the print. Whatever your pleasure, Black folks need to be in the loop of all this stuff.

We're not yet streaming on the Internet but in due time, that will happen, too. Despise not the days of small beginnings, the Bible reminds us. And, so I press on.

The global community is not the wave of the future, but surely knocking on every door. Only those with intrepid spirits and never-say-die attitudes will participate in the marketplace to exchange information and ideals; to speak truth to power; to offer a voice for the voiceless; to cry loud, as it were, and spare not.

We, as African-Americans, are familiar with the talking drum. Well, the Internet and other media outlets have become a modern-day talking drum. Therefore, we must beat that drum to raise the awareness level of our people.

Who's gonna pay for the Katrina fiasco? Who's gonna pay for this God-awful war in Iraq? Who's gonna help our young people to stop killing themselves in spite of the fact that many of them make more money today than their predecessors?

Black Hollywood needs to be discussed. Is there really such a thing as Black Hollywood. And if the answer is ‘yes,’ then where were they when on Oscar night a vile so-called song was named Song of the Year in front of millions of people. There's something wrong with that picture. Let's talk about it.
