#28DaysofDiversity: J. Smith @jbrotherlove
As we all know, February is Black History Month. It’s a month where we honor those who have made an impact on American culture for equal rights, those who have invented, those who have a helped others and those who have inspired everyone to be the best they can be. Not only as a person of color but as a human.
As someone in the technology/web/social space, I often travel and attend various events in the industry and notice a huge lack of diversity, and when it comes to getting attention from mainstream media/tech blogs it’s almost impossible. That said on Day 2 of 28 Days of Diversity I would like to introduce to some and present to others: J. Smith (we heart @jbrotherlove at Black Web 2.0). Find out more about these Mr. Smith on SocialWayne.com

I am disheartened that there is such a lack of diversity inNew Media. One would think since Social/Digital Media is so new, there would be great opportunity to break down more walls…and while some have, for the most part. Today's new media scene looks like the old one. Iwant to connect with as many people of color in new media and tech as I can, because we need to connect and create more of our own opportunites.
