Why Now Is The Time To Start A Sidehustle

Why Now Is The Time To Start A Sidehustle By Pierre Clark

The election is over. Trump is in office. And the challenges and issues we face in igniting wealth-building and wealth creation in our communities continue. What policies will the new administration contribute and support in terms of solutions to this age-old dilemma? We’ll have to see.

But for as long as we - the disinvested and under-resourced community residents - have been here we know that we have to continue to be the change we seek. And that is why there has been a surge in entrepreneurial development and side-hustle creation in our communities in the last five years.

Black Mom Raising Autistic Son Gets Diagnosed Herself With Autism Later in Life, Says the System Fails Black Women

 Amina Phelps, an African American woman from Atlanta, Georgia, was raising her autistic 9-year-old son A.J. when she began to suspect that she herself may also be autistic. Sure enough, doctors diagnosed her with autism, even though she’s already in her 40’s. The shocking news and late diagnosis inspired her to write a book called Hidden in Plain Sight: A Journey of Autism, Motherhood, and Self-Discovery about how Black women with autism are often rendered invisible in conversations about neurodiversity, sidelined by systemic bias in research, resources, and public perception.

In her book, Amina courageously confronts this erasure while redefining what it means to thrive as a neurodivergent Black woman. Drawing from her lived experiences, she shines a light on the double-edged sword of being a Black woman with undiagnosed autism — a reality many women face due to the persistent white, male-centric lens of autism diagnosis and research. This deeply personal memoir is not just a call for representation but also an indictment of a system that routinely fails Black women and girls by misdiagnosing or overlooking their struggles altogether.

You Are Not Average:

Rising from the Depths of

Loss to the Heights of Love

By Dr. Marlyn S. Wright

Life is a journey filled with peaks and valleys, triumphs and trials.

Through my own experiences, I’ve learned that resilience isn’t just a word—it’s a way of life. It’s a mindset that allows us to rise above what life throws at us, reminding us that we are not average.

In 2016, my world shattered with the sudden loss of my eldest son. Just three years later, my heart broke again with the passing of my late husband.

These tragedies brought me to the brink of despair, plunging me into a battle with grief and depression.  As a pastor, I was called to uplift and lead others while secretly feeling as though I was drowning in my own pain.

Meet Felicia Wright, Founder and CEO of Mygani, a lifestyle brand specializing in uniquely designed handbags that showcase exclusive illustrations of Black women. Since 2015, she has built a remarkable career as a dedicated mother, mentor, and visionary entrepreneur.
