It’s February, and boy is it busy!

Here’s what’s new with Nurse Karen...

Random Newness: Nurse Karen just joined twitter, always be the first to know who and what she’s writing about, where’s she’s performing...or the latest with Soca Now. Follow her tweets at http://www.twitter.com/nursekaren

Journalism: At the end of the month, Nurse Karen will be travelling to beautiful Trinidad and Tobago for carnival! This year, she joins the team at Toronto-Lime.com as the resident writer, responsible for writing all of the official news releases that will appear on the popular website from February 18th to 26th. Make sure you check it out!

Travel: Well duh! Didn’t I just say she’s going to Trinidad? If you’re going too, or you just wanna share your knowledge on what to do and what to avoid in T&T, we want you to join the discussion right here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=7564&uid=44452122605#/topic.php?uid=44452122605&topic=7564

As usual, you can read all about Nurse’s experiences at Carnival and what the artists are up to at the (Nurse) Karen (Etc) blog. http://mustardseedmedia.blogspot.com

Last month, Nurse K was in Washington D.C. for the inauguration and Obama Soca Rama. Take a look at her video from "the moment" ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8S9lQGPd_c



Poetry: During Canada’s Black History Month/African Heritage Month, Nurse Karen will be making 10 visits to Toronto area middle schools and high schools to share her knowledge on African oral traditions. The Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on the Global Migrations of African Peoples at York University invited her to perform pieces from her book, T-Dot Griots and teach youth about using spoken word to express their views on social issues and identity. One visit down, nine to go!

Community: Nurse Karen continues to urge soca fans to make a difference in 2009 by joining the Soca Now Campaign to get MySpace to create a soca music category. Want to get involved? Email a support support letter to myspace at ca-help@support.myspace.co

m. Use this really weird subject, to make sure they know what it’s about: ref:00D78NrS.50077iea4:ref . Then for good measure, join http://groups.myspace.com/socanow to show MySpace how many of us really want this to happen!

Oh! Last thing. If you say nothing, we can’t tell if you’re out there. Post a comment and say wassup!!!!
