Black Professionals
Does anyone know of good websites, forums, or blogs for black professionals??

I believe there's one, or a few, out there.
I'm just looking for some good reads, advice, and place to share questions/comments on the things that black professionals go through in the work environment, especially corporate America.

Thanks.

The two black professional clubs I would highly recommend are National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. http://www.ncbwoc.org/history.html and the National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Club. http://www.blackeoejournal.com/_cont...ceCalendar.asp If you have very strong leadership/community development skills they'll also hunt you down.

and my pay check is more addictive than any drug I have ever tried
