DAD INSPIRED BY HIS AUTISTIC SON IS EDUCATING AFRICAN AMERICANS ABOUT HIDDEN TALENTS WITHIN THE AUTISM COMMUNITY

George D. Williams, MS, is an Adult Autism expert and author from Denver, Colorado, whose experience with his son, Nathan, has inspired him to educate others about the hidden talents that autistic people have. In his new book, Mount Up With Wings, he explores the need to integrate autistic talent into mainstream society and teach others how to live and work with the autism community.

George comments, “Adults on the spectrum face obstacles across the entire lifespan. We can not achieve full inclusion until the needs of African Americans and other minorities with autism are included in the broader narrative.”

George also says that there is a quiet transition taking place as approximately 50,000 teens with autism move to adulthood each year. In recent years, the burgeoning adult autistic population has created unprecedented challenges for countries worldwide. The four primary areas of concern related to autistic adults are employment, housing, health care, and financial planning. Due to a combination of factors, many adults with autism have struggled with adapting to daily activities in society.

He comments, “We have a group of uniquely talented adults who simply don’t fit into a world not designed to accommodate those with neurological differences.”

AUTHOR SHARES VALUABLE BLACK FATHERHOOD ADVICE IN HIS TWO NEWEST BOOKS

Author Calvin T. Mann is pleased to announce the release of his books, Things a Father Should Say and 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Fatherhood. Both books, which are currently available on Amazon, highlight the ideals and significance of fatherhood.

The 60-page book titled 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Fatherhood is a helpful tool for first-time and seasoned parents, men, husbands, fathers, and women. The book provides details, viewpoints, and insights that reframe the importance, appeal, and function of fatherhood. Mann created a spiritually enlightening and intellectually stimulating guide to fatherhood using his 37 years of experience, research, and life lessons.

The 94-page book Things a Father Should Say, on the other hand, is based on Calvin’s experiment in which he posed the query to a few of the men who follow him on social media. What would you say is the best advice you can give a young man? He believes that several males were open and honest about their experiences. While some people spoke out of pain, others deliberated over their remarks. These men spoke in a variety of ways—some in a single sentence, others in paragraphs—revealing the typically male perspective of simplification. The replies of these men formed the bulk of the book’s foundation.

Abdul Dosunmu, Founder of Young Black Lawyers’ Organizing Coalition, is Mobilizing One of Black America’s Largest Efforts to Resist Voter Suppression for the Midterm Elections

Over 300 Lawyers and Law Students will lead the Massive Seven-State "Black Ballots, Black Futures 2022"

Voter Protection Organizing Campaign

Abdul Dosunmu, the founder, and chief strategist of the Young Black Lawyers' Organizing Coalition

As Black voters prepare to cast their ballots in the critical 2022 midterm elections amid sweeping new voter suppression laws across the country, the Young Black Lawyers' Organizing Coalition (YBLOC) today launched its "Black Ballots, Black Futures 2022" voter protection organizing campaign.

Over 300 young Black lawyers and law students will span across Arkansas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Texas to host voter protection education sessions in partnership with the community institutions Black Voters know and trust.

The seven-state push will be among the largest Black-led voter education efforts to train Black voters to identify and resist voter suppression tactics to ensure that their ballots are counted.

These sessions aim to equip an estimated 60,000 Black voters with the information they need to protect their vote and help amplify this message in their communities.

"YBLOC is mobilizing one of the most ambitious voter protection organizing campaigns in history because inclusive democracy hangs in the balance in November," said Abdul Dosunmu, YBLOC's founder and chief strategist. "Our intention is to proactively ready Black voters to do what we have always done: fight the barriers of voter suppression and insist on our right to be heard."
