I got word last week that I won a prestigious award. The Harry Jerome Awards, which celebrates excellence in achievement in the African-Canadian community, is presented each year by the Black Business & Professional Association (BBPA). To give you a comparison, this award is similar to the NAACP Image Award given to [...]

Podcamp Toronto gets better and better every year and the event organizers should be proud of the results of all their hard work.
I was going to recap my experience about the 2009 Podcamp Toronto event, when I saw this tweet from Bob Goyetche this morning:
Someone tell me why leesa barnes is running this bloody session.

I’m celebrating yet another milestone. As of February 15, 2009, I now weigh 185lbs. When I weighed myself at the start of my weight releasing journey in July 2008, I weighed 205lbs. That means, I’ve lost 20-lbs in 6-months.

The first week wasn’t as bad as I thought. I imagined that I would crave meat all week. That my mouth would salivate [...]

I was recently named as one of the Top 50 Most Powerful and Influential Women in Social Media and I believe I’m the only Canadian on the list, so this is a true honour.
The list that Ron Hudson put together generated just over 2000 unique visits and 189 comments in less than a week. The [...]

I didn’t realize that Star Trek The Experience is actually connected to the Hilton. I got off the monorail and was barreling through the lobby when I encountered the Borg.
My heart leap to my throat as I came face to face with 3 of 6. Can you guess what my first question was? Watch this [...]

It’s been quiet on this blog for a few months. I know. I’m working on a few projects:

I’m filling my Camtasia Made Simple course.
I’m preparing my presentation for the only new media event that I MUST attend - New Media Expo.
I’m getting ready to post a call for speakers for a video marketing summit [...]

A couple weekends ago, I went to Pacific Mall. It’s huge mall in north Toronto that has predominantly Asian shops. It was busy that weekend and I found out that it’s open 365 days a year - even on statutory holidays. So, on Easter Sunday, I went with my sisters to Pacific Mall because really, [...]
