A Generation Without Labels

Maybe not quite without any labels, instead labels of their  choice….  It’s a Potluck Earth is an idea that brewed for at least a decade.  Now that it is live, the path has me in wonderment, especially with this being an election year in the United States.  Election strategists grouped, labeled, targeted, wooed, and even marginalized individuals as an entire religious, racial, and/or ethnic demographic.  On every turn, I meet a vanguard of people who see labels as other people’s problems.  These individuals baffle the label makers, leaving them in a guilt-tinged quandary... and sounding rather mechanical

From the blond, freckled-faced, country boy who grew up driving a tractor in the southern United States to the young lady who lived in the midst of the Bosnian War, they possess another noticeable attribute.  They will go where they believe God or life wants to take them and make a plan to get there with an ad lib or two when necessary.

One such person is Salone Jones.  Her path has been hard fought and is still in progress.   She is an entrepreneur – business woman, performer, fitness trainer.

One thing that she has going for her is something that I find missing in some talented artists.  She realizes that an independent artist is an entrepreneur, best take on that mantle and become the part.   Read Part 2  http://potluckearth.blogspot.com/2012/12/salone-part-2-generation-without-labels.htmll
