We are 3 black people whose friends got tired of hearing our daily rants, and reading our many (and often forwarded) emails. Collectively, we read too much, have opinions on everything, and have too many degrees--and the debt to prove it. We are respectable negroes who are just a little angry (and you know what happens when we get angry). It may appear that we are the same, but as you will see, we are quite different. We often agree, and we often don't. We be respectable negroes who will remain anonymous for now, but there will be clues, tasty morsels of information, that friends (and perhaps enemies) can use to find out our gov't names.

I have always had a strong desire to go places. As a child, I would read all types of books about far away places...not just locations, either. I loved to journey back in time to historical romance settings where masculine men captured the hearts of unwitting maidens, historical accounts of triumph and struggle, or modern stories of love, expression, and freedom. I'm ready to expand my own travels...and write my own stories.
