The Sunday Salon

We're joining the long list of bloggers who participate in this weekly prompt because it makes sense: you the readers, get a recap of our week and new readers might find our blog on The Sunday Salon roster. Growing readership matters. One of our primary aims is to introduce readers to writers they might not have discovered otherwise. We want to inform and engage each other. Let me know if you find this weekly post helpful. And consider joining TSS. Happy reading.

Welcome and read, Color Online's new columnist, Camile Ryerson. Her first article, "The Hajib, The President and Me" is honest and thought-provoking. I met Camile on a diversity forum a few years ago. I asked her to write for Color Online because I think her presence will encourage social and political dialogue.
