My interview that I shot for "Cultural Caravan" aired on Sunday, November 20, 2016. The interview aired at 5:30pm on WNYC-TV Ch 25.1 (over air), and Ch. 22 (Cablevision) on cable. I was unaware of the airdate until the day before. I'd received a phone call and an email from the show's producer on Saturday to inform me of the show's airing.
Cultural Caravan is also rebroadcasted on Cablevision's BRIC Media cable access channel Ch. 68 during the week. Since you probably missed it when it aired last night, you will have an opportunity to catch it during the week on cable access. I am unaware if they have uploaded the video to their website yet, or on their YouTube channel.
Just wanted to let you guys know about it. Please check it out if you can.

Nothing.......
Honestly....I have NOTHING to report.
Really. Seriously. Truthfully.
There is absolutely nothing for me to report to you guys. Everything is at a stand still. No sales to report...no job prospects...no anniversaries coming up...nada. I don't even know when the hell that episode of my interview is going to air; I still haven't been contacted back by the show's producer who interviewed me. Considering that the show airs every Sunday, there are only two more Sundays left in the month. Not very inspiring that my episode is going to air this month.
Nothing on the job front, either. Considering that gamble that I took back in August, basically taking a one-way trip out of state for a job interview, you would've thought that something might have resulted from that. Didn't get that particular job, nor anything else much after that. Oh, I've applied to a good number of jobs out there, but nothing really resulted from it. I got like....one call back for a position, and nothing else since. Looks like my relocation plans are on hold, as well...
Trying to finish writing my manuscripts that are WIP, but I'm not necessarily motivated to finish them. Wtf is the point?! Finish writing them...publish them...and then have them languish on cyber bookshelves for the rest of their existence...? Nuccas can come out of pocket for some stupid shit like the latest smartphone (that they don't need), a video game/gaming system, shoes, handbag, and other crap they don't need, that's EXPENSIVE as all hell mind you....but y'all can't invest in my mf book that costs between $10-$15....? What's the sense in publishing them, then?!?! I don't want to hear your bs rhetoric about supporting me, and then all you do is press the mf 'like' button on social media, and call it a day. If you're truly a fan of my work, and support me, BUY my books! And don't just buy one title....buy at least three, or four of them; THEN you can call yourself my biggest fan.
Yes....I'm ranting. This is frustrating. I've been dealing with this struggle for over two years, trying to be a fulltime author. It's sickening when you're not supported, and people make excuses. Or, when people do give you support, it's actually quite minimal, and they make it seem like they did you such a big favor. I would understand if I was a crappy writer with no talent; I shouldn't even bee in the game. BUT....I'm talented, and have skills. I know how to market and promote myself, and my works. I've been doing that for most of my life, specifically through my activism.
Maybe things will start to look up by the end of the year. Who knows....

Putting the BLACK in "Black Friday"---Holiday Economic Support initiative [HESI]
**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
Brooklyn, Ny--With the racial injustice and backlash that is running rampant throughout the country, and wanting to work in conjunction with the #BlackLivesMatter Movement, as well as being inspired by the #Missing24 and the #BuyTheBlock Movements/cyber initiatives, author/activist Kevin Alberto Sabio implores an economic call to action. Let us tackle these issues on an economic front, as you are all respectfully requested to PLEASE spend your money...not with these mega corporations and big box stores...but with supporting Black-owned businesses and Black/Brown entrepreneurs. Let us use our pocketbooks and wallets to politically speak for us, as you can get involved in the movement by supporting it economically. If you're not the type to march in the streets, then let your dollars do the talking for you.
Author/activist Kevin Alberto Sabio embraces this call to action, and wants to include his own works into this initiative. His works of fiction and nonfiction speaks along these ideological lines, and speaks truth to power about the capabilities of our community once we put our collective minds to a particular purpose. Let us stand up against injustice, hatred, and intolerance. Let us choose NOT to financially support this system that oppresses us.
Mr. Sabio is published through various P.O.D. publishers, and his literary works are available in paperback format through online retailers such as Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Books-A-Million. Mr. Sabio's works are also available in eBook format through carriers such as Kindle, Nook, Kobo, iTunes, Page Foundry, Scribd, and 24Symbols. Digital ARCs (Advance Review Copies) of his novels are available in PDF format for review purposes, upon request.
Keep the fist raised,
Kevin Alberto Sabio
