Waist Forever, a Black-owned innovative fitness company, has launched a collection of unique waist trainers with celebrity Amara La Negra, who stars in VH1's Love and Hip Hop. The waist trainers give women an instant hourglass figure, and with consistent use, it gives more permanent results by actually molding an hourglass shape.

The newly launched collection is floral in design and is ideal for people who want to achieve or enhance their hourglass figure while also supporting a good cause. Within the collection, there are three different styles, a waist trainer with one, two, or three straps. The Amara Maximillia: 1 Strap Waist Trainer Floral Beauty option offers wearers comfort, style, and can aid weight loss around the midsection.

Nationwide -- In honor of Women’s History Month, the National Youth Foundation (NYF) presents the almost uncaptured history of Hettie Simmons Love - the first African American to graduate from the preeminent University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.

The story begins in Jacksonville, Florida in the 1920s, where a young girl, less than 60 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, attended the prestigious Boylan-Haven Boarding School. After graduating from Boylan-Haven, Hettie Simmons enrolled at a top HBCU, Fisk University, where she excelled in mathematics and joined the renowned Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.

DERRICK HILL CREATES NEW COURSE TO HELP NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS GET FUNDING

Many nonprofit organizations never reach their full potential due to the lack of funding. As a result, Derrick Hill, CEO of HillChase LLC, offers his newest course that enables nonprofits to rapidly increase their revenue, have maximum impact, and sustainable growth.

Derrick’s clients include but are not limited to Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, Rickey Smiley Foundation, Chef G, Garvin Foundation, Boys & Girls Club, Colon Cancer Foundation, and many others. The same success strategies he delivers to these and other nonprofits are now available in the course: “Grow & Expand Your Nonprofit in 90 Days.”

“At HillChase, our mission is to help nonprofits be as successful as possible so that they can make the biggest difference possible,” explained Hill. “Our firm has over 15 years developing hundreds of nonprofits, including those focused on children and youth, community and economic development, housing, urban education, family engagement, and many other nonprofits structures. I understand the pressure that every nonprofit leader has to serve more beneficiaries, raise more money, and do more with less. That’s why I wanted to offer our firm’s education and expertise to any nonprofit in need.”

NEW PLAN TO FUND MORE NON-PROFITS AND FOR-PROFITS IN BLACK COMMUNITIES

They are many great non-profits, making great strides in the Black community in the areas of health, education, equal rights, the arts, and many more. However, many of them don’t have the funding to expand and grow their organizations. "This is because they have to rely on the goodness of people and companies to fund their organizations. This is not the best way to fund our organizations, especially when the economy is doing so badly," says Terrance Amen, founder and CEO of 3UFirst.

Terrance says that his company can solve this problem by offering organizations ownership in the company, donations to their organization, and sponsorship of their events. In return, the organizations that agree to the terms simply have to endorse, promote, and support 3UFirst. He comments, "This is a great way to fund our HBCUs and other organizations putting in the work. Too many times our organizations have to go begging for crumbs and having to reach outside our community, in order to keep their doors open."
