Hi everyone,

     I'm a 26 yr old grad student living in the U.S.  I've been on BN for 2 weeks now and enjoy coming here.  At some point I'll take the plunge and register my name b/4 someone else takes it.  I love the fact that Diasporans are interested enuff to take the time to find each other for the purpose of communicating.

     Well, U'll be seeing me around more often.

Welcome Helen, it might be an idea for you to choose an online name, preferrably not your real name and I would advise against giving too much detail over the web ok..Otherwise good to see you..

Hello lee2

I haven't got a problem with talking to you. What did you want to talk about?


Hi,

 I am a 31 year old female into lots of things. I am looking for spiritual enlightenment and I am enjoying life to the fullest after hating myself for most of my adult life. Anyone that wants to talk about the meaning of life can talk to me about it. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi everyone, I'm a migrant from another messageboard, and thought I'd check this one out. I see one or two familiar names already!

A little about me: I work for myself and get a real buzz out of helping others to help themselves. I like to travel, make music, invest in property and I have a strong interest in mental health issues... niceone.gif

Hello Everyone,

I'm Nia, 26 years old born and bred in Luton but don't hold that against me ;), from St Lucian parents.  I am currently trying to finish my post-graduate degree in Information Systems after a long break from it.  Love Blacknet niceone.gif and hope to become a frequent visitor.

I also love science fiction and horror books and try to aspire to a holistic way of life.

Peace,

Nia

I'm 19 and a Law Student at Nottingham University...

:)Hello all,

 My name is Zuan, and this is my first time ever doing this. I am interested in finding a chat buddy. Just for open conversations from time to time. I am very green to doing this but not so that I can easily fall for bs. So if any soul is interested in chatting with a Southern girl  put out a post. I will get with you soon.

I would like to (((((welcome)))))) the latest batch of people to discover the Blacknet Village, a big welcome to the following:
  • Nia
  • Ceazer
  • Alan Crawford
  • Tommie Dee
  • Zuan26
  • Blkdiamond80
 

It nice to the variety of people accessing these forum from so many parts of the UK and America...Like i say to all new people it..the debate here can be a bit passionate..(the nature of our people,) but hang in there...If it gets too rough contact me or the admin team all views are welcomed and encouraged, as long as it respects the African centred culture of this site.  One other point generally it is good practise NOT too many personal details about yourself on the web for obvious reasons.. So Alan no disrespect intended i think you've said too much about yourself and i would urge you to tone down the amount of personalised info you give in future ok....

Peace and blessings brothas and sistahs in the diaspora! My name is Elijah and I'm best known as SpiritualONE. I'm a male who is a researcher/writer/poet/metaphysician. I'm mostly interested in metaphysics and spiritual matters that cleanse and enlighten my soul during this journey. I've studied many subjects extensively and I'm fascinated with the subject of psychology. I have a degree in psychology and I have some advanced studies in the subject at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I live in the suburbs of Chicago. I hope to learn something while I'm in the presence of this enlightened group of people and I hope that I can reciprocate in the process.

Hi Kunjufu,

It's actually nothing but religion :) I'm studying all kinda of religious tradition from christianity to hinduism. The whole thing take 5 years to finish, then you'll get your university degree. I'm in my 2nd season so I got long back.

 

This is taking from University's site:

--------------------------------------------

The Study of Religion, which is a subject in the humanities, has as its goal the study of religion in its broadest sense. The study comprises Christian tradition, other religious traditions and non-religious interpretations of life, both historical and contemporary. The department's research strengths, apart from the mentioned fields, include a wide variety of methodical approaches: historical, philological, literary critical, philosophical, anthropological, sociological and psychological.
