TELEVISION EXECUTIVE OF 30 YEARS LAUNCHES STREAMING SERVICE CALLED BLACK WALL STREET TV


Nationwide  Darnell Washington, a native son of Tulsa, Oklahoma, who has over 30 years of experience in television broadcasting sales, management, and ownership, has created a new streaming service called the Black Wall Street TV Network. He says he was inspired by the extraordinary success of the original entrepreneurs of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the early 1900s.

Black Wall Street in the past was a name synonymous with successful Black-owned businesses. While there are still successful Black-owned businesses, it is an area where there are also races of every kind. The current state of business in this now vibrant and economically stable area is pushing towards the future of great success. The BWS-TV Network will enhance the Tulsa area by bringing more promotional entertainment and name recognition to this new era of success. And since BWS-TV Network is an AVOD (Ad Based Video on Demand) Network, it is free to anyone who has an internet connection.

Sad Day in America, January 6, 2021, We the People of the United States: An Assault on Our Democracy 

“Trump supporters try to break through a police barrier, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol in Washington. As Congress prepares to affirm President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, thousands of people have gathered to show their support for President Donald Trump and his claims of election fraud.” (AP Photo/Julio Cortez)

Sad Day in America, January 6, 2021, We the People of the United States: An Assault on Our Democracy 
   
A Vietnam Soldier And Bestselling Author Writes About Saving Our Country.

“Washington, D. C.’s executive branch, of the US federal government’s fragile pretense, and its leaderless situation.” Op-Ed By Charles Singleton

Looking back on Trump's obvious impeachable offenses: international quid pro quo, nationwide political threats, and bribes; weaponizing implications (total chaos, repeated riots, treasonous sedition), life-threatening crowds, and death-driven events, have overwhelmingly demolished the ‘democratized words’ of the Preamble to the United States Constitution (Constitutional Convention, Summer 1787).

Preamble to the United States Constitution

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
 
Unfortunately, President Donald Trump's “Stop the Steal” rebellious supporters, Washington, D.C., January 6, 2021, were very disorderly after attending a verbally incendiary rally. Thus, they proceeded (rebelliously encouraged) to disrupt the United States Congress during its meeting to authenticate the electoral votes of November 2020.

Dangerously, this groups’ subversive actions were aimed at upending Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’ presidential victories. This congressional meeting was necessary to certify President-elect Joseph Robinette Biden Jr and Vice President-elect Kamala Devi Harris of the United States. "Trump And The GOP Have Lost A Total Of 62 Post-Election Lawsuits."  --- William Cummings, Joey Garrison and Jim Sergent, USA TODAY, Jan. 6, 2021

Once again, now hear me!  It is shameful, Trump and many GOP legislators and enablers, who are continuing their annoying and persistent validation (challenge) of the 2020 election votes; along with believing in a plethora of deflated conspiracy theories, are damaging our democracy, and every word of the Preamble to the United States Constitution.

Repeated episodes!  And it is absolutely frightening! In this post 2020 election period, “We the People of the United States” are rapidly experiencing vocabulary episodes of acrimonious words and phrases, such as, inciting insurrection and violence: political descent and crises, coup d'état, a demigod’s tragic failures, and death.

AUTHOR OF 50 BOOKS WHO HELPS PEOPLE FIND THEIR GENIUS FEATURED ON NEWEST ISSUE OF SPEAKERS MAGAZINE

The new year gives us an opportunity to re-examine and restart ourselves to achieve our purpose and desires. Dr. Will Moreland’s personal awakening came at a young age. “I had an encounter when I was 18 years old. I was told by a judge I was headed to nowhere. He almost put me in jail but then decided to give me a mandate to determine what I was going to do with my life. I was given two weeks to decide,” said Moreland.

Dr. Will (as he is affectionately known) had no idea what he was going to do with his life. Until the Judge’s mandate, he didn't even think about it. But in those two weeks, he knew he had to figure it out or face jail time. That situation led him to tap into his inner genius many years later.

Dr. Will is an accomplished author with penning over 50 books. Ironically, it was by accident that he became a speaker. He began to embrace who he is and his inner genius led him to build a million-dollar speaker brand in less than a decade.
