Mompreneur Mizell Mais Creates VanishClear Sulfur Cream To Solve Spotty Fungal Skin Infection Problems

Nationwide -- Mizell Mais is an African American mother of three and an entrepreneur from Apopka, Florida. In her early thirties, she developed a spotty rash that covered more than 40% of her body, including her face. Being dark-skinned, the rash was much lighter than her natural complexion, and the itchy spots were flaky and dry. The rash is called Tinea Versicolor. It's caused by an overgrowth of fungus that naturally occurs on human skin, and is most prevalent in humid or tropical climates.

"I was embarrassed to go anywhere, so I had to really pack on the makeup and powder before I left the house," Mizell stated in an interview. "Doctors gave me a variety of lotions, soaps, powders, and salves, but there was very little results. It wasn't until I started reading everything and doing my own research, and through trial and error, I developed VanishClear Sulfur Cream in my kitchen. I saw a visible difference in four days, and the rash was completely gone in nine days. I didn't have any discoloration or scarring or anything."

Teaching African Americans How to Speak Swahili

-------

ONLINE LANGUAGE PLATFORM, SWAHILI PRIME, SEEKS TO PREPARE AFRICAN AMERICANS FOR OPPORTUNITIES IN AFRICA

Nationwide -- In recent years, Swahili has emerged as a leading language that people should take note of. With an estimated 150 million speakers worldwide, it is the official language of Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, is widely spoken in Uganda and more narrowly spoken in Burundi, Rwanda, North Zambia, Mozambique, and Malawi.

Several international media outlets like BBC and The Voice of America offer programming in Swahili. In the African Union, Swahili is one of the working languages. In 2019, the Southern African Development Community adopted Kiswahili as its fourth official language. At the beginning of 2020, South Africa legalized Swahili's teaching in South African schools as an optional subject with Namibia to follow suit in 2021.

Author/ Activist Fighting Racial Bias Against Black Children

-------

AUTHOR AND IMAGE ACTIVIST, PATRICE MCLAURIN, WORKS TO DISMANTLE RACIST BIASES AGAINST BLACK CHILDREN ONE BOOK AT A TIME

Nationwide At a time when the state of the world is extremely uncertain and fragile, Patrice McLaurin is providing a silver lining by dismantling racist biases against Black children, with a current emphasis on Black boys. Owner of Khemrah Publishing, a boutique publishing house located in Buford, Georgia, McLaurin uses this platform to serve as an author and image activist. Her literary works are cultivating the brilliance of Black children, one book at a time.

According to McLaurin, some of the most important work that needs to be done in the Black Community is the shifting of racist and biased propaganda against Black people. “Unfortunately,” states McLaurin, “any disparaging caricature that can be placed upon a person has been used as an identifying persona against Black folk.”

Part of McLaurin’s cause as an image activist is to dispel these effigies by reinforcing positive imagery. After the violent deaths of Trayvon Martin, Jordan Davis, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice, McLaurin’s passion was amplified and it birthed literary works that would give Black children and their counterparts, an opportunity to see the value in their existence. “Oftentimes, a book is a child’s first introduction to an outside world,” states McLaurin, “so it is important that their books humanize all of those who exist in it.”

Why Do White People Hate Us So Much? They Are Still Angry About The Pharaohs And The Moors! By: Legrand H. Clegg II

Over a year ago, I wrote an article claiming that one of the driving forces behind White racism and animosity toward Black people is that of retaliation. In summary, on a deep, subconscious level the white collective has inherited from its ancient and medieval ancestors an entrenched resentment of Black people that was originally caused by Black ostracism, domination and enslavement of primitive whites when Africans ruled the world.

In light of the recent killings of George Floyd, Amaud Arbery and Breona Taylor, and the uprisings that have followed, I feel compelled to revisit and elaborate on my theory of global White resentment and retribution toward people of African descent. The latest FBI crime statistics reveal that African Americans remain the chief victims of hate crimes in the United States.

School segregation is as pervasive as ever. Republican legislators are suppressing Black votes and gerrymandering local and statewide districts. Black people still suffer the highest unemployment rates and have the lowest net worth in the nation.

1st Black-Owned Pajamas Line For Children of Color

BLACK WOMAN-OWNED COMPANY CREATES THE FIRST PAJAMAS LINE FEATURING CHILDREN OF COLOR

Nationwide Building self-esteem through positive representation is an important part of raising healthy children. Simone Edmonson established Dreams and Jammies LLC, an Atlanta-based company, to play a key role in transforming how children of color see themselves uniquely portrayed in their sleepwear as they drift off into their heavenly dreams.

Company founder Simone Edmonson states, “I wanted children of color to know that they’re valued and their faces matter. On average, children are in their PJ’s nine-plus hours per day. So, I thought it would be inspirational for them to show their individuality by selecting designs, which aligns with the child’s inner spirit. Parents could use Dreams and Jammies as a platform to launch their child’s daily affirmation of self-worth.”

The greatest impact the launch has made in the Black community was beautifully stated by buyer Denise Johnson of Baltimore Maryland, “When I saw those beautiful black girls wearing Dreams and Jammies on my Instagram feed, I burst into tears. I initially did not know why I had this visceral reaction. Then it dawned on me that in the fifty-five years of my life, I have never seen anything like this so I purchased a pair for my grandchildren and great-nieces.”

Compelling Manifesto Addresses Black Empowerment

ERROL A. GIBBS PRESENTS: A BLACK EMPOWERMENT MANIFESTO (BEM)

Nationwide "A Black Empowerment Manifesto" (BEM) is the brainchild of Errol Gibbs.

More importantly, participating in Black History Month (BHM) celebrations in Canada over the past 25 years (1995 – 2020) inspired the writing of the manifesto.

The COVID-19 pandemic's impact revealed the health vulnerability of people of color, particularly Blacks and indigenous peoples. The death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, a 46-year old black American male in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill, opened fissures in the black-white racial divide.

FORMER HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATOR TURNED ENTREPRENEUR DEVELOPS PATENTED, FDA-APPROVED BACK SUPPORT BELT

Nationwide -- Glenn Gordon has experienced some serious back problems after leaving the military. He was a heavy equipment operator and crane operator/ instructor in the 1970s and 80s during his more than 15 years in the U.S. Army. The VA hospital gave Glenn several back-support belts and extremely high dosages of pain killer pills that he says did not help his pain at all. So, five years ago, Glenn decided to create We Gotcha Back - a patented back support belt, and to his surprise, the product he created compressed his body so well that it took him off pain killers completely.

While in the Army, Glenn spent years riding rough terrain heavy equipment and marching many miles to ranges. He also jumped off many high platforms with heavy gear on his back - all of which ended up destroying his back and causing him to develop degenerative bone Now, as an older man, Glenn suffers from constant lower back pain and sore hips.

However, his invention has changed everything. He comments, "Anytime you can manage pain without drugs is great for the body. I am not cured, but I can definitely now manage the pain without drugs."

Finally Confirmed That Margaret Sanger Was a Racist

-------

PLANNED PARENTHOOD CONFESSES THAT MARGARET SANGER WAS A RACIST

Nationwide The Rev Dr. Martin Luther King once stated, “The negro cannot win if they choose to sacrifice their children for immediate comfort and safety.” Margaret Sanger once stated, “It shows us that we are paying for and even submitting to the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.” The Rev Dr. King stated, “The early Church put an end to such evils as gladiator contest and infanticide.” Margaret Sanger stated, “The most merciful thing a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” We have allowed the foundations to be removed and we have forgotten the dream but “truth crushed to earth shall rise again.”

Well, it’s taken some time but with the current racial climate and a lawsuit pending from their own minority employees charging Planned Parenthood with systemic racism and bigotry, the NYC Chapter of Planned Parenthood has finally confessed what we have known for decades - Margaret Sanger was a racist. It should not have been so hard to come to that conclusion with documented collaboration with Adolf Hitlers Third Reich and a letter of commendation from the Furor himself thanking her for her tutelage. Yes, I said tutelage. Margaret Sanger tutored the most renowned racist regime known to modern man. Confession should have come easy and long ago.
