I’m Puttin’ 2021 In My Rear-View Mirror: Post Haste!  OP-ED By Tolson Banner

I’m jumpin’ into my black hoop-dee.  I gotta jet out of 2021 ASAP!

My spirit tells me to head to the NORTH STAR to meet the new dawn of twenty deuce deuce (2022) - the moment it peaks over a new horizon.  I’m feeling a mystic cord of memory: like the great black migration from the south - a push and pull of the soul.

Historians have captured this Black journey with this soulful flow: “The lazy laughing south, with blood on her mouth and I who am black would love her; but she spits in my face.  So now I seek the North, the cold face North, for she, they say, is a kinder mistress.” I don’t believe we ever met that mistress.

I’m blazing out of 2021 like black people fleeing their homes set ablaze by the vitriolic antics of the Tiki torch boys or duped by the mortgage sub-prime loans orchestrated by the banks.

I don’t think I’ll travel along route US 50 (red and blue states).  I’ve convinced myself to revisit the roads less travelled - like Promise Street, Voting Rights Circle, Defund The Police Street (I think?) and Democracy Court.  I floored my black hoop-dee and got busy on Freedom Expressway.

I took the first exit up ahead, Promise Street via Biden Avenue.  The streets were strewn and dilapidated.  Word around here was these blocks held so much promise for change, like meeting the “kinder mistress.”

Many Feel He Hasn't fulfilled His Promises

The Small Business Roundtable

"A Monthly Event Bringing Together
Entrepreneurs from across the Globe!"

The Small Business Roundtable is a 'power-packed', fully charged event of dynamic entrepreneurs from across the globe.

The monthly Small Business Roundtable offers an important educational opportunity to smaller businesses. The roundtable is free, but space is limited and registration is requested.

The topic of discussion changes monthly, allowing attendees to learn how to enhance their business and increase their success in a different way each month!

More than 200 million businesses in the United States generate a combined $3.5 trillion in sales and employ more than 100 million Americans. That's a lot of businesses working together to drive an enormous amount of economic growth, but there's even more potential to be tapped if entrepreneurs’ risk being more productive over being busy. Let's work together to find ways to help small business owners better navigate the road ahead.

The small business roundtable led by Rick Rhodes, Small Business advocate and owner/designer of RICKRHODES FASHION, Oron Harris-Small, business advocate and founder of CONS2DONS, Janelle Harris, global influencer and CEO of SheExist Magazine, and Phyllis Calloway, City of Fort Myers Assistant Director of Community Redevelopment Agency Foundation.
