Formerly a political blogger, La Shawn writes about faith, culture, digital technology and, occasionally, how these three things intersect.

By the way, don’t call her “African American.” She hates that term. If you must refer to her race, call her “black.” And La Shawn is not a Republican. She’s an independent conservative.

“La Shawn Barber’s Corner” was launched in November 2003.
