..with that being said, I would personally like to voice my opinion..
as you all may or may not know, I am not one who looks for drama but what happened yesterday was a little over the top. i felt like Teonica was just voicing her opinion in her blog that she wrote over the weekend and her losing her job over it seemed kinda stupid. Yes she said "she's done stressing her self over this job" and "she feels we are being pushed to make HarlemLIVE website look better", but when you read what she's saying then you would know at that time that's how SHE felt. She just voiced HER opinion on HER blog because that's what we are supposed to be doing. How can we say "it's your blog, you can write what ever" but when we do just that we are being penalized for it ? 'Alfredo' is right when he said it's a "double standard" and Isis is too when she said "people get upset when you step on some toes." I think that we all may step on a few toes in life because if we didn't we would never make it anywhere and we'd all be stuck in the same box. When rules aren't clearly outlined, how can we break them ?
In 'Alfredo's' blogs he clearly expressed himself in a way that made people question both him and his content..so did Teonica
he felt disrespected and he spoke out against the people who made him feel that way..so did Teonica
I can not speak on her behalf but I'm sure she didn't mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable or put HarlemLIVE in a position to fire her.
Hopefully she's doing better in her new environment and I wish her the best of luck.



And no im not trying to disrespect anyone but this is just how I feel.
I'm sorry if anyone is taking offense to what I wrote
untill next time
tah-tah
