How To Be Blessed NOT Stressed...

Dr. Franzeska Sampson, was an unlikely social worker.  She initially had very negative outlooks on the field.  However, she is driven by a passion to help people and was eventually drawn to the profession.

The educator, with an extensive background in social work, strives to help us be blessed with less stress in our lives.  She has an urgent and timely outlook on helping us to cope with not just the stress related issues of every day life, but also deal with the anxieties of our troubling political climate.

I was able to ask Dr. Sampson, if she could spend some time sharing her insights and expertise on overcoming stress in a chaotic political climate.  Checkout my provocative exclusive video with Dr. Franzeska Sampson, as she touches upon a range of anti-stress behaviors spanning creative endeavors, media management, civic engagement, and Spirituality.  Get the scoop on her anti-anxiety insights in the video below...

In The Current MAGA
Political Climate...
Left: UN Activist Barbara Horne| Right: Publisher Kamau Austin

Barbara Horne intuitively springs forth from a family of people interested in maintaining community.  She was surrounded by loved ones who had the caring insight to foster a better neighborhood and social climate growing up.

Creatively, Ms. Horne has synergistically mixed her passions for Black empowerment, Women's UPliftment, technology aplomb, and business engagement from a lens of human rights.  Barbara's passion and skills has landed her in a myriad of activist programs and activities with the United Nations.

Given the national crisis the country is in with regards to any semblance of a democracy surviving in the United States, I compelled my BBFF (Bernie Best Friend Forever) to talk to me about if the UN had any influence or plans to help Black Americans, people of color, and marginalized people in the US.  My exclusive video interview follows below.

How DEI Saves Black Lives

Diverse Medical Research Helps
Blacks Get Better Health Outcomes

Left: Divergent CRO Co-Founder Shawn Williams | Right Publisher Kamau Austin

Diversity and DEI have recently come under fire from both sides of the political spectrum. But in this episode of The Black News Scoop, we explore how diversity in medical research is not just a talking point—it’s a matter of life and death for Black communities and people of color.

It’s been widely reported across news outlets and social media that health outcomes for Black people and other communities of color consistently lag behind those of mainstream society—even when income and access are equal.

One major reason? Black and Brown people are significantly underrepresented in clinical trials and other medical research.

That’s where Divergent CRO comes in. This innovative, Black-owned company is working to close that gap by making medical research more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

In this exclusive interview, we speak with Ms. Shawn Williams, founder of Divergent CRO, about her mission to change the face of clinical research and improve health outcomes for underrepresented communities. The company is currently welcoming inquiries and open to collaboration opportunities with biotech and medical device companies that are serious about inclusive research.
