BLACK HARVARD MBA AND SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR PENS NEW BOOK TO HONOR THE ENTREPRENEURS OF GREENWOOD

Amy S. Hilliard is a graduate of Howard University, a Harvard MBA, a successful senior corporate executive, and serial entrepreneur whose journey has been different from what you might expect. People look at Amy and think she's had it made. In her career, Amy made it to senior levels of corporate America, started three businesses, has been profiled by national media, honored by the U.S. Department of Commerce for Entrepreneurship - and has been bankrupted, foreclosed on, laid off, and divorced twice. She is here to tell people her truth.

In her new book, "Pivot For Success - Hone Your Vision, Shift Your Energy, Make Your Move," from Wiley now available for presale on Amazon, and releasing June 22, she shares that even when you think you’ve lost it all, you can actually win everything. Amy shares 10 pivot points and lessons learned from a life of dreams realized, and dreams deferred - of how to keep it moving through the landscapes of success, failure, triumph, and tragedy. Most of all, she shares how she learned to pivot and how you can strategically learn to pivot too.

Multi-talented Musical Prodigy Gina Williams Works Creatively To Releash 5 Albums This Year In Different Genres

Gina Williams, is quietly shattering barriers of how things “should be”.  I caught up with the multitalented singer and pianist who diversely sings and performs in 5 different musical forms.  Williams, a product of striving Jamaican roots by way of a challenging Canadian upbringing - has a fascinating story to tell!

The singer, pianist, songwriter, and composer released a choral and orchestral album called “Olympiad” and performed with 4 choirs and 2 orchestras on Ukrainian National Television in 2019.

This year she is releasing 5 albums - Each in a different genre: EDM, Caribbean, Gospel, Classical, and Rock.

The multi genre musician was born to Jamaican parents in the prairies of Alberta.

Growing up with racism and prejudice, she spent most of her years hiding her gift of music - the ability to hear finished music in her head because somehow she believed “people like her shouldn’t be the one with “that kind of a gift.” Decades later, she finally accepts herself and her attraction to anyone unconventional.

PRISON REFORM PROJECT LAUNCHES TO HELP THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT BLACK MEN WHO ARE INCARCERATED

A new movement called The Prison Reform Project has officially launched to help publicize and bring national attention to the thousands of innocent Black prisoners who have been wrongfully convicted.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, Black men account for about 34% of the total male prison population, and many of them are in prison for petty crimes such as possession of marijuana which is now legal in most states.

Research also reveals that there is a 52 percent chance that a low-income Black man has been behind bars at one point during his life. Even worse, both Black men and women are more likely to be convicted for a crime that they didn't commit, serve more time in prison, and have a much harder time getting back on their feet when and if they are released back into society.
