ENTREPRENEUR TAKES LESSONS FROM BLACK MILLIONAIRES AND LAUNCHES VIRTUAL NETWORK & MASTERMIND

Brother Bedford

After interviewing and developing relationships with Black millionaires over the last 16 years, Brother Bedford has taken their lessons, mindsets, habits, behaviors and launched The Masters of Business Network & Mastermind, a virtual community that provides a space for Black entrepreneurs to share, learn and grow with brothers and sisters from around the world.

Bro. Bedford, best-selling author and advisor to entrepreneurs and business owners, believes entrepreneurship is the answer to curtail the serious economic and social problems we have in our community. He is not alone.

According to the recent McKinsey Report, “Automation and Artificial Intelligence will disrupt — meaning kill or replace — 4.5 million jobs held by African Americans by 2030.” The report goes on to say further that, “African American workers are at a 10% higher risk to losing their jobs from automation than the general population.”

A Powerful New Memoir Provides Real-World Advice on Tackling Adversity

 

Black Prep: Life Lessons of A Perpetual Outsider By Kimberley Baker Guillemet

In a moving new memoir, Black Prep: Life Lessons of A Perpetual Outsider, author Kimberley Baker Guillemet provides a how-to guide for not just surviving, but thriving in the face of adversity.

 

“I learned early in life that mindset matters,” says Baker Guillemet. “I repeatedly received the message that I wasn’t privileged enough, connected enough, smart enough, pretty enough, thin enough, even Black enough. And for a time, I believed it. Only after I decided to reject those messages, did I begin to thrive.”

 

In Black Prep, the South Los Angeles native who later became a successful lawyer, chronicles how she navigated educational and professional environments that were both foreign and uncomfortable.

 

Baker Guillemet’s journey began at the age of 12 when she was accepted into an elite, all-girls college preparatory school in Los Angeles. She was among just a handful of Black students and was wholly unprepared to prosper in an intensely competitive environment where few people looked like her.

THE RITTENHOUSE VERDICT DEFINES THE RULE OF THE “WHITE  MAN’S LAW” IN AMERICA 

A man holds a "Free Kyle" sign near Bradford High School during President Donald Trump's visit on September 1, 2020. Source Wikipedia

Op-Ed By Tolson Banner

Definitions define the usage of words. Words define language usage for  understanding. As the famed ancestor and street poet/griot Dolemite once  said, “If it’s understood, no need to explain.” But most of us are still trying to  understand the Rittenhouse verdict. Therefore, it becomes imperative we  take a deeper dive for deeper understanding.

 

When Carl Linnaeus defined the racial human hierarchy in 1735, it appeared as if the famed taxonomist combed through a box of crayons to assign color coded characteristics to the four racial groups of humans which were  overshadowed by his ethnocentricity.

At the top of the heap was Anglo Saxon  Protestant who was vigorous; muscular; flowing with blond hair; piercing  blue eyes; very smart; inventive; covered by tight clothing and ruled by law.

ISSATA OLUWADARE PENS BOOK TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT CHILDHOOD DISABILITIES

The Adventures of Mighty Manny written by Issata Oluwadare, Mighty Manny is a superhero unlike any other. He is a toddler with special needs.

With a cape of many colors, Manny finds the strength to do unusual things. According to the author, Manny was introduced as a way of giving hope to families who have children with needs.

“When my son Emmanuel spent just shy of 11 months in the NICU, we searched high and low for books that would spark hope in our seemingly hopeless situation,” said Issata, the author, while explaining why she decided to write a children’s book about disabilities. “I found nothing speaking to our child, a child whose doctors gave little to no chance for survival, and even fewer prospects for a fulfilling quality of life.”

She further added that there needs to be more awareness about the subject, as there are countless other families lost in the shadows, quietly steering through similar difficulties. There should be a conscious effort towards building knowledgeable communities filled with hope and compassion, and this is exactly what Mighty Manny is all about.  Manny also has a coloring book, which was released separately as part of the series.

BLACK WOMEN UNITE TO FORM A NEW NATIONAL HOLIDAY CALLED 'MOTHERS OF CIVILIZATION DAY'

Every year, we honor our mothers who gave birth to us, but we often do not think of the woman who gave birth to humanity, which is the original woman, the black woman. Did you know that according to an anthropologist named Donald Johanson and his assistant Tom Gray, the oldest bones to be found, as of this date are of a Black woman?

These bones were discovered on November 24, 1974, in Hadar, Ethiopia. According to Dr. Cheikh Anta Diop, the evidence of early humans who lived between 2 and 6 million years ago come totally from Africa. Since the bones of the earliest female were found on November 24, 1974, that day will be used to celebrate Mothers of Civilization Day.

Mothers of Civilization Day is a day to recognize and be thankful for the first women on the planet, the original women, regardless of their ethnic background. Original women are women of color from Africa, India, and Asia, etc. These women have kept traditions alive, taught customs, and created a beautiful culture of love and pride.

The idea for the new holiday was developed by Audrey Muhammad, founder and publisher of Virtue Today Magazine, which highlights positive images of black women and men. The magazine represents women in the light they were made to be shown…with beauty, class, and intelligence.
