Bakari Lindsay

The Collective Of Black Artists (COBA) COBA was founded in 1993 by Junia Mason, Charmaine Headley, BaKari E. Lindsay (formerly Eddison B. Lindsay) and Mosa Neshama (formerly Kim McNeilly). They were four Black dancers fired with the raw passion to fill a void on Toronto’s arts scene by constructing a platform for dance creations that reflected their physical and social realities.

COBA presents Traditional West African dance, music and folklore; Caribbean Indigenous Folk dance, music and rituals in their purest forms possible for the theatrical stage. While also creating contemporary works developed from an Africanist movement aesthetic that reflects African social realities in a global context.

COBA’s mission “is to preserve the cultural traditions of Africa diaspora through education, research and public performance”.

In this episode, BaKari E. Lindsay share some of his and COBA’s story.

The Dr. Vibe Show: BLACK DADDIES CLUB – "THE GIFT" BY COLWYN BURCHALL JR.

0

One of the organization’s that we support is the Black Daddies Club. The Black Daddies Club (BDC) was founded in 2007 by Brandon Hay in response to the lack of forums and spaces for Black men to discuss parenting issues as well as the issues facing the Black Community as a whole. The main goal is to change the image of the black father in the media, from a neglectful figure to a responsible, involved and loving role model.

Since November 2010, each week, Black Daddies Club members have been contributing an article detailing their own personal experiences with fatherhood.

The Dr. Vibe Show: MARK EVANS – USAGE BASED BILLING AND THE STATE OF CANADIAN INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS MARKETPLACE

2

Mark Evans

If you haven’t been living under a rock in Canada over the last few weeks, you’ve been consumed with the hotly-contested debate over user-based Internet billing in Canada. At the heart of the issue, which is being fought over between the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission) , major telecoms and small Internet service providers, is this: should consumers pay for a predetermined amount of data or get charged for what they use?

In this episode, we speak and share with Mark Evans. Mark is a principal with ME Consulting (http://www.markevans.ca/), a content and social media strategic and tactical consultancy that creates and delivers ‘stories’ for companies looking to capture the attention of customers, bloggers, the media, business partners, employees and investors. Mark has worked with three start-ups – Blanketware, b5Media and PlanetEye – so he understands how they operate and what they need to do to be successful. He was a technology reporter for more than a decade with The Globe and Mail, Bloomberg News and the Financial Post. Mark is also one of the co-organizers of the mesh, meshUniversity and meshmarketing conferences.

Mark talks about the current environment of Canadian internet service providers (Internet Service Providers) and what needs to be done in order to make it a fair and competitive for consumers to access and pay for internet service.
