Pepper Miller Brings Revolutionary Insights
To The Marketing Industry
About Black Consumers

“Pepper, I didn’t know.” This admission is an all-too-common response to preeminent market researcher Pepper Miller’s illuminating workshops and presentations on how to reach the Black consumer market. It is also a reveal by corporations that have sought out the award-winning Miller — President of Hunter-Miller Group — to find answers and strategies that will capture the loyalty and the coveted dollar of the Black buyer.

Armed with decades of researching Black America, observing trends and studying nuances, Pepper has earned an industrywide reputation – and an array of awards — for her keen insights and observations. She possesses an innate ability to gauge trends and transform them into brand-boosting strategies. Her advice and proven results have made her a much-sought-out counselor to corporations like AARP, CNN, Bravo, BET, P&G, Walgreens, The Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and more.

These observations and illuminations are captured in her book, Let Me Explain Black Again, an intriguing read and a valuable reference that industry leaders are hailing as a must-read, especially when considering that Black History has become a topic for erasure.

Black Owned Denver Newspaper
Develops Empowering Podcast Platform

Denver Urban Spectrum (DUS) has launched a podcast network to share the voice of BIPOC Coloradoans through critical conversations on social justice, politics, lifestyle, and more. Expanding the Narrative (ETN) Network is being hosted by Britanny Winkfield and can be heard on smartphones, tablets and computers starting at the end of April, as DUS celebrates 36 years of spreading the news about people of color in Colorado and beyond with an award-winning print and digital publication.

Podcasting has become an essential part of the digital media landscape, and ETN is the first network specifically built to showcase BIPOC podcasters in Colorado. “We believe that by joining forces with local podcast creators and providing a platform to amplify these experiences in one place, we can shape how we understand and address systemic issues of race, justice, and equity,” said DUS Associate Publisher, who is also the podcast network manager.

“The vision for ETN is to expand the narrative beyond the pages of this legacy publication and empower emerging and established talent. We want to form legacy partnerships that build generational wealth while allowing each creative to have an equitable stake in their future,” Winkfield added.

More Unity & Supporting Tangible
Solutions For Black Liberation Is Essential

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X AKA El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz

By Kamau Austin, Publisher of The Black News Scoop And Southeast Queens Scoop.

I don't think visionary progressive Blacks are showing enough tangible alternatives in the fight for equality and liberation. I read a lot of Blacks now critiquing capitalism as much as racism - but how many are offering options or showing the way towards concrete solutions?

For instance if a person feels Black people are being marginalized by white supremacist driven capitalism what are we doing besides critiquing others to offset it? Are we working with Black farmers to supply food to urban food deserts and defund corporate supermarkets?

Are we building community owned credit unions to hold, invest, and loan our money to each other to fight gentrification and predatory loans?

Mary and Eunice A Story Of How Black Women Are Valued By God And Society

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was chosen to be the vessel of God's Salvation. Yet women, especially black women, are devalued in society.

This is why we also speak to the murder of NJ Council person Eunice Dwumford, because there have been no arrests in her case after over 2 months. She not only was a Council Person, but on the pastoral staff of her church.

It is as if the media and police don't really value her life. It's as if justice for her has been discarded.

Mary's prophesy in the book of Luke foretold of a savior who would be a change agent or a disrupter, as we would call him today! In this video Kamau Austin, reflects on how God honors women today in society - like the Creator did Mary, a brown skinned woman over 2,000 years ago.

Kamau gives a heart felt appreciation to Black women in this 17 minute video on Resurrection Day 4/9/2023, after Women's History Month below...

Dennis Turner, Author of Powerful and Inspirational Book, "Boy From The Ditch" Celebrates National Library Week and Salutes Libraries And Their Role in Communities!

Dennis Turner, author of the inspirational memoir, "The Boy from the Ditch," will inspire and uplift you.

Turner celebrates National Library Week and salutes libraries and their role in the community. The theme for National Library Week 2023 (April 23-29, 2023) is “There's More to the Story."

Libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more. But there's so much more to the story.

Libraries of Things lend items like museum passes, games, musical instruments, and tools. Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, and lectures.

Library infrastructure advances communities, providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for businesses, job seekers, and entrepreneurs.

National Library Week 2023 will be a great time to tell your library’s multi-faceted story.

Turner says, "Libraries play an important role in our communities and it's important to salute them, support library workers and promote library use."

21-YEAR-OLD ENTREPRENEUR WITH AUTISM OPENS NAIL SCHOOL JUST 8 MONTHS AFTER OPENING A BEAUTY BAR

Aaliyah Alicia Thompson, is a 21-year-old African American woman with autism from Hampton, Georgia, who has defied stereotypes and achieved incredible success as an entrepreneur in the beauty industry. Just eight months after opening a beauty bar, she is now celebrating having opened her very own nail school.

With this in mind, she embarked on a mission to open a nail school that catered to people of all abilities, from neurotypical individuals to those with diverse needs.

She is currently being featured in a McDonald’s commercial that is being aired nationally on BET and other networks with actress/ TV personality Keke Palmer.  You can see it now below...

IS PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY: THE PROMISED LAND FOR
AFRICAN AMERICANS?

By Op-Ed Contributor Tolson Banner

A recent article in the Greater Washington publication proclaimed Prince Georges’ County may be losing its status as the Black Promised Land. Spoiler alert: According to the latest Census data Charles County now owns that title.

But what does it mean to be the wealthiest Black county in these United States?  And more importantly how do we measure when we have arrived at this place we call “the land of milk and honey” or “cabin in the sky?” 

The ancestor legend Bob Marley crooned the answer this way, “If you know what life is worth you will look for yours on earth”.  Maybe that’s why this article examined black homeownership (not black land ownership?) as being the hub in the wheel with health, schools, economic development, racism, and crime as spokes not necessarily correlating an index of self-reliance for us to address poverty, homelessness, mental health, food apartheid and the inability for us to feed and clothe ourselves in a state where Black farmers exceed the national average.   

From a historical point of view, our first collective definition of the Black Promised Land emerged with the abolition of the American enslavement trade in tandem with hope and promise following the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.  Forty Acres and a Mule was ominously dangled before us like a carrot on a stick – always just beyond our reach.
