Onajídé Shabaka’s Summary

Although my primary field of study has been visual art, my focus on the multidisciplinary coupled with the ability to research and write provides the type of experience one values in teaching and organizing.

While continuing to grow and expand ones skills, and find ways to solve problems individually and collectively, those skills have allowed me to develop ideas for engaging the ever widening public through speaking and social media networking and applications, both with individuals and groups.

Broadening audiences through blogging platforms have provided a tools through which information and ideas can be disseminated throughout the world. I can help by providing audience specific web content for your blog. Understanding and writing seo friendly text is what is necessary to lend authority to the subject because I also have worked more than enough with the architecture of web sites and programming.
