"When sourcing writers for LIVESTRONG.com we only wanted high quality writers with expertise in the health and fitness fields, and Akweli Parker fits that mold. He contributed with his knowledge to our website and did so by providing professional content within our preset formats without ever missing any deadlines. It has been great working with Akweli for the first phase of LIVESTRONG.com and we hope to utilize his skills in the future as well."
~ Johan Mengesha Content Editor, Demand Studios "Akweli Parker is an outstanding journalist who has worked with me for the last five years. I respect his talent and his thorough reporting. I can trust his work for my Weekend section of the Philadelphia Inquirer. He is very organized and his writing is clear and concise. Each year, I count on him for a major centerpiece on our Philadelphia International Auto Show, one of the area's biggest draws. I appreciated his initiative while on the staff here. He helped to launch the Inquirer's successful Online Business (newsletter) coverage, offering daily reports to more than 6,000 readers." ~ Deirdre Childress Weekend Features Editor, The Philadelphia Inquirer Secretary, National Association of Black Journalists "Dear Mr. Parker, Thank you for kindly and graciously accepting our invitation to present a program at our library on How to Buy a Computer. Your presentation was excellent; it was interesting, informative, thorough, comprehensive and engaging. Your in-dept knowledge of the subject was evident in the presentation itself and the way in which you fielded the array of questions asked by program attendees. You established a wonderful rapport with the audience which facilitated the question and answer session and I have received very positive feedback from those in attendance. You even stayed a little longer to talk with audience members one on one who had further inquiries. With the holiday season upon us, I'm sure that the knowledge our patrons gained from this program will be put to good use and that they will be wiser consumers when they purchase their computers because of it. I hope that you will consider presenting this program again at our library in the future. I reiterate my thanks and appreciation to you and hope that you found the experience as rewarding and enjoyable as our patrons did. May you have a wonderful holiday season!" Sincerely, ~ Barbara A. Brown, Librarian Lucien E. Blackwell West Philadelphia Regional Library "Akweli is a pleasure to work with.
