Blogs for marketing and strategy purposes

    " A blogger is  someone who runs and controls a blog . He or she shares his or her opinion and knowledge on different topics for a target audience. Many bloggers feel strongly about an issue or topic, and they are motivated to write about it to bring attention to a need. This might be a social issue or cause, a problem that needs to be fixed, a belief or value that they hold strongly, or just a desire to help people. Blogging  enables you to reach the billions of people that use the Internet . Blogging can help you promote yourself or your business.

My Charter School Experiences

In 1992, I did not attend a charter school. I have had a wide range opportunities that took place at various schools. I have not provided any services for schools as a consultant for a while. Among them include when I served as a substitute teacher for Mundo Verde PCS in 2013, I can recall working with some of the students and staff and sharing my passion and extensive background in visual arts. Additionally, I can recall when I served as a substitute teacher for DC International School. I knew a little bit of Spanish, but as a professional visual artist, I really enjoyed sharing my love and extensive background in visual arts with the students and some of the staff members at DC International from 2016-2017. Also when I served as an art elective Summer Camp teacher for Higher Achievement in 2013, the program took place at Center City Capitol Hill Campus. Providing each of these services in the past were a great opportunity for me. However, since these experiences, I have directed my s...

Digital conversations

  “A digital conversation is a scripted dialogue between a person and a computer through various digital mediums.” Quote found on the Internet  A digital conversation is defined as a structured interaction that takes place between a user and a computer, utilizing various digital channels to facilitate communication.

The platforms that support these interactions can include chatbots, social media messaging services, and other online tools designed to mimic human conversational patterns.

Respect and courtesy

  Respect and courtesy. Digital art created on canvas. August 2, 2024. Afrika Abney The colors associated with respect and courtesy include blue, red and white.  The interplay of colors creates a dynamic composition, where the bold red evokes passion and energy, the serene blue instills a sense of calm and trust, and the pure white symbolizes clarity and peace. Together, these colors form a cohesive narrative that resonates with the viewer, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the themes of respect and courtesy. “Respect and courtesy in the workplace are important for a healthy work environment and can lead to improved productivity and employee satisfaction. They involve treating others with kindness, fairness, and tact.”

Absence in life

 "Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it." - Thomas Fuller Well, this quote is complete opposite for me. Many people in my life have been absent. If absence is supposed to sharpen love, then why do some people think that helps a relationship grow stronger? It does not, it makes people feel unloved, unwanted and unappreciated. Yet, many people why I am fearful or afraid of relationships? Well, try looking at it from this perspective. I have spent most of my life living in the darkness and isolation.  Perhaps, this digital piece entitled: Absence in life can help you understand me even better. The colors that I choose to the title of the piece.                                         Absence in life. Digital art created on canvas. Afrika Abney
