Hi everyone.  Just wanted to bounce an idea around.  I
currently run a daycare from my home & I'm looking to
"branch out" I guess, have more income, help others
(especially our youth & young adults), but still be able
to be home with my daughter.  As you can tell by my user name
(blacquen), I'm an african-american woman that is independent,
intellingent, & headstrong.  I always have relatives,
former co-workers, friends & friends of friends coming to
me for advice on various situations in their lives, & not
to toot my own horn...toot-toot :7, they usually come back
& tell me how right I was or how much I helped them.  I
would love to start an online advice column, similar to Dear
Abby but with that "blacquen flair."  Something that
is real, honest, straight from the hip, & sensitive but
not sugar-coated.  Everyone needs some help, advice, &
guidance every now & then & while this column would be
for everyone, I can't help but notice that there's not alot of
places that people of color can write in & get some real
truth, support, encouragement, guidance, & tough love when
they need it.
What's everyone think?
Thanks.....One Love

I think it's a great idea, but would personally like to see you do it for all people, not just african americans.
There really aren't alot of sites to write in for great advise.
It would be like having a good friend........to get advise from, online.
Good Luck to you !!
