Lifestyle Blogger ‘Genese Jamilah’ Speaks on Why “I Don’t Do Clubs”
Here at JAYFORCE.COM we have no problem telling you about other great sites to check out. One of my favorites is IdontDoClubs.com or IDDC for short. A friend of mine sent me a link to one of their stories about black owned Restaurants here in Atlanta, GA. I was impressed with the list and took the time to surf the site. Great events and alternatives to the nightclub life. So I reached out to the editor in chief and founder of the site Genese Jamilah. She took some time from her day to speak with me about why she does not do clubs. She also shares details about an upcoming event she has planned here in Atlanta. So enjoy this interview and stay tuned because we will be doing an upcoming post dedicated entirely to her Must Love Beards event happening here in Atlanta. We will also be giving away two free tickets for one of our lady readers of the site!

Wanted: Black Female Hackers #BlackHack
Think of a relatively small subset of the population – like Black people in the United States.
(It’s okay. This post is not ‘racial’; more like post-racial.)
Okay, now whittle that subgroup down… to Black women in the U.S. Then narrow the group to U.S. Black women who are programmers or software developers and… um… where’d everyone go? Get it? The number is small. Understandably, the few there are might feel all alone. Well… until now. Coming up is the #BlackHack: a hack-a-thon for Black women programmers put on by Black Girls Hack.
The event – expected to bring 100 Black women developers and entrepreneurs together – will take place in Atlanta on November 16 and 17 (very soon). Mailchimp has signed on to be primary sponsor for the #BlackHack.
So… looking for women with brains who are about their business, are you? A’ight then.
