Alabama’s First Black Woman-Founded College Expands With New High School Division for Neurodiverse and Non-Traditional Students

Shakea Miller, the first African American woman to found a privately owned, degree-granting college in the state of Alabama, 1 on 1 Technical & Theological College, has announced a major institutional expansion with the launch of a high school division specifically designed to serve students with learning differences and those underserved by traditional education models.

The new high school division will host its first day of classes on January 5, addressing a long-standing gap Miller identified while operating the college.

“Over the years, we had to turn away far too many people who wanted to enroll in our trade and degree programs but did not have a GED or high school diploma,” Miller explained. “I knew there had to be a better solution.”

That solution became the creation of a high school pathway housed within the college itself, one that serves students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences, as well as students who struggle with the traditional seven-hour school day.

Author Max Miller Releases New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain

Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.

The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.

Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!

First Black Woman to Launch a Drone Academy in Texas Gives $1K Scholarship to Future Pilots

Nationwide -- Steffanie Rivers, founder of TCB Drones Academy, made history as the first Black woman to register a drone academy in the state of Texas. Now, she’s paying it forward — offering a $1,000 Drone Pilot Scholarship to help more minorities and women enter one of the fastest-growing industries in America: drone technology.

Rivers, an FAA-certified drone instructor, is using her platform to create pathways for those who might not otherwise see themselves in aviation, STEM, or tech fields. Her vision is simple — to take flight and bring others along.

“We’re not just teaching people to fly drones — we’re helping them take control of their financial future,” says Rivers. “Representation matters, and this scholarship helps open the skies for everyone.”

Lawyer Reignites Viral “Hood Court,” the Digital Courtroom Where Culture Meets Accountability


Attorney Tiffany M. Simmons, known nationally as The Plug’s Lawyer, has officially relaunched her original digital courtroom series, Hood Court, the culture-shifting show first introduced on Instagram Live in 2020. What began during a moment when physical courtrooms were closed has evolved into a refined intellectual property platform that merges legal education, real-time jury engagement, and cultural accountability.

Hood Court is not commentary. It is structure. Each episode presents real disputes submitted by viewers. Legal standards are applied. Evidence is reviewed.
The audience serves as jurors. A ruling is issued. No theatrics. No appeals. Since its original debut, Simmons has expanded her legal practice, secured multimillion-dollar verdicts, and built a nationally recognized brand rooted in results and restraint. The 2026 relaunch reflects that evolution.

Black Entrepreneur Releases New Video Showing Others How He Created AI-Powered Musicians

Marcus Parker, an African American entrepreneur and motivator, has launched a new video, The Making of Rize Mode – Motivation Built, on how he transformed two decades of youth outreach into a groundbreaking AI-powered movement designed to inspire the next generation of rappers, singers, and other types of musicians.

The 16-minute film opens with rare footage from Parker’s 20-year journey visiting schools, churches, and community spaces—where he discovered that teens connected more deeply when encouragement came through rhythm and rap rather than traditional speaking. That realization gave birth to what he called Motivational Rap — music built not for fame, but for purpose.

Through powerful clips and storytelling, the documentary traces how Parker used music to reach young audiences searching for identity, direction, and hope. As technology evolved, so did his mission.

World Alzheimer’s Day Shines Light on Dementia in Afro-Caribbean Communities

World Alzheimer’s Day Shines Light on Dementia in Afro-Caribbean Communities: Stories, Culture, and
the Call for Culturally Safe Care


Toronto, ON – September 10, 2025 – Growing up in Canada as the child of African immigrants, Ngozi Iroanyah rarely heard conversations about chronic illness or disease in her community. Despite her parents’ impressive academic backgrounds—her father with a PhD and her mother with two bachelor’s degrees—topics like dementia weren’t considered “culturally relevant” or openly discussed at home.

That silence was broken in 2008 when Ngozi’s father was diagnosed with dementia. Suddenly, her family was thrown into an unfamiliar world of medical terms, appointments, and financial decisions. While Ngozi’s career in healthcare gave her access to doctors and specialists, there were still profound gaps—particularly around culturally safe supports.

“My father was my best friend,” Ngozi shares. “Despite the hardships, I would walk this journey with him in a heartbeat. But it shouldn’t have had to be that hard—for him, for us, or for other families.”

Sadly, her experience reflects that of many immigrant and racialized families. Dementia remains a mystery to most, and stigma within cultural communities often compounds the challenges. According to the Alzheimer Society of Canada’s 2024 Landmark Study: The Many Faces of Dementia, prevalence among racialized groups could increase by 183% to over 400% by 2050. That means more families will face dementia without the culturally appropriate care they desperately need.

Two Black Men Who Couldn’t Read Until Adulthood Lead a National Conversation on Literacy and Freedom

Two nationally recognized literacy advocates — one an NFL athlete, the other an Emmy-nominated actor — share their journeys from illiteracy to impact. In Built Like Champions; Betrayed by Schools, the latest episode of the Literacy Now – Together podcast, hosts Kareem Weaver and Brett Tingley sit down with Ameer Baraka and Deon Butler for a hard-hitting discussion. The message is simple: talent isn’t enough. Every child deserves the tools to read, because freedom begins with literacy.

Deon Butler, once a Central Michigan standout who earned an ESPY nomination for “Play of the Year,” graduated high school and college without being able to read. Undiagnosed dyslexia followed him into the NFL, where he could not read the Detroit Lions’ playbook.

“Undiagnosed dyslexia cost me my dream,” he later shared with The Detroit News. Today, Butler is one of Michigan’s most visible advocates for literacy legislation. He credits University of Michigan Head Coach Sherrone Moore, his former position coach at Central Michigan, for believing in him when few others did. “Coach Moore saw me, not my limitations,” Butler recalls. “We need more teachers and coaches like that.”

Entrepreneur Launches Free Hotline for Black Women Experiencing Hair Loss or Scalp Issues
 

 Angela H. Brown, an African American hairstylist, entrepreneur, and veteran hair loss specialist with over 40 years of experience, has launched a free hotline for women struggling with hair loss or performance hair & scalp issues. By calling the toll-free number at 877-833-5877 (Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm EST), a live person will provide personalized hair care advice and support to anyone in need — no cost, no judgment, just answers.

For decades, Angela has witnessed a troubling trend: countless Black women are silently losing their hair, often turning to friends, family, or nonprofessionals for guidance. Many salon-goers never receive the education they need to maintain healthy hair between visits, leaving them frustrated and without results. She created the hotline to change that.
