About Blksista

I’m a mid-Boomer/Jones Generation/unmarried/straight/Nichiren Buddhist/progressive and writer, interested in just about everything live and in color. Presently, I live in Madison, WI, but I want to resettle back on the Left Coast, in California, Oregon, or Washington.

What’s happening with me? Well, I am currently unemployed, but that situation may indeed change as time marches on. I am a writer. I have an MFA in creative writing and a BA in broadcast journalism. I’m a mid-Boomer or Jones Generation type. I am unmarried and an aunt. I am a Nichiren Buddhist. I’m a progressive with middle-class values. All this doesn’t mean I am not open to many other things, but there are naturally going to be things that I am never going to figure. That indeed may be a way for people to respond to each other, and not necessarily just to me.

  7. Hi Gabrielle,
    I have enjoyed reading your stuff. As you know, I have always enjoyed your writing. . . . since WCO. I will pass it on so others can enjoy it as much as I do.
    Love ya always, mgm

    • Girl, keep visiting me and commenting! Love ya, sis!

  8. I think I found your blog from Feministe –you write beautifully. I loved the Our House post, and found the post on Burr Oaks moving too. I commented on an MJ post or two. I’m living in Chicago now, originally from NYC. But I spent many years in Madison (‘93-’07). Got there from NOLA and was in deep culture shock for years. I kept going back to “N’awlins” for every Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest I could, until thesis work prohibited it. I am going back for the first time since 1997 this November. I’m not sure what to expect but I can’t wait for a decent shrimp po’boy!

    Keep writing!! You have a distinct and powerful voice. Thanks for sharing it.

  9. Your blog is wonderful. Keep up the good work. :)
