cohasi, I do not have a good answer for you but that is an intelligent question. I have learned a lot here to be honest with you. Business, religion, black history and social issues all from a porn board? Sho nuff.
Seriously, just to point you and me in the right direction. Check out a creative loafing, check out craigslist (under atlanta) and when you go to spots on blackplanet or migente or myspace check out what sites and affiliates those people are involved with.
I don't know where you are from but there was a popular thing called 1st Fridays that was real real real hot and I don't necessarily know its current status but I will look into it myself as well. Better yet, I have done all this babbling, what do you want to network about?
