FREE WEBINAR TEACHES AFRICAN AMERICANS A LITTLE-KNOWN STRATEGY TO MAKING MONEY FROM THE STOCK MARKET

Nationwide --  When most people think of making money from the stock market, they think of buying shares of stock in a company and making money as the stock, hopefully, appreciates in value.

Eric Johnson, a computer engineer from Baltimore, MD, held this same perspective up until 5 years ago. You see, 5 years ago, Mr. Johnson was introduced to a stock market strategy that forever changed the way he looks at making money from the stock market.

One day, while intently working on a coding project, Eric decided to take a quick break and check email. Upon going through his email, he noticed one email in particular. It had the subject line: A Wall Street Secret. After reading through the email, Eric discovered that the email's author was offering him an opportunity to learn how to make money from the stock market using a strategy that's unfamiliar to many.

BLACK OPERA SINGER AND MUSIC EDUCATOR, ANDREW FRIERSON MEMORIAL SERVICE PLAN FOR MARCH 2019

New York, NY -- Andrew Frierson, part of the first generation of Black opera singers to be heard on the national stage, died of natural causes December 6, 2018, at his home in Oberlin, Ohio. He was 94. This month, there was a private service held at Trinity Church Cemetery and Mausoleum in Manhattan. Frierson's memorial service will be held in New York City in March 2019.

An imposing figure with a commanding baritone, Frierson lived by a strict code of honor and integrity about his work and helped blaze a trail for African American classical singers as a member of the New York City Opera Company for six seasons, where he was most notably conducted by Leopold Stokowski in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, and recorded the role of Cal in Mark Blitzstein's Regina for Sony. In the 1960's, he broke the color line on national television, singing "Old Man River" live on The Ed Sullivan Show, and later co-founded the Independent Black Opera Singers organization to champion opportunities for black male opera singers.

Reviewing Mr. Frierson's 1949 debut, Ross Parmenter of the New York Times wrote that Mr. Frierson, who was still at Juilliard at the time, "Gives promise of being a fine concert artist," adding, "He already has the essential attributes - a beautiful voice, good technique, musicianship, sympathy and a fine presence." 

Super Bowl, Gladys Knight and Colin Kaepernick

NFL SUPER BOWL, GLADYS KNIGHT, AND COLIN KAEPERNICK: IT AIN’T WHAT YOU THINK IT IS!

Nationwide -- This isn't about Gladys Knight's right to perform at the Super Bowl; it surely isn't about the singing of the National Anthem and you can bet your bottom dollar this isn't about Colin Kaepernick playing QB in the NFL again. This is about the dueling souls of Black folks and the psychotic behavior of America.

The famed scholar, Pan Africanist and sociologist, W.E.B. Du Bois in his classic work, The Souls of Black Folks characterized the black dichotomy as, "twoness": as an American and as an African; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring ideas in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from being torn asunder. As a result of this "double consciousness," Du Bois adds, "African Americans suffer from a damaged self-image shaped by the perceptions and treatment of white people." Knight and Kaepernick evince these opposing identities and will superimpose these irreconcilable differences onto our TV screens on Super Bowl Sunday.


THE AMERICAN AFRICAN: Many people shun the idea that Knight decided to perform the National Anthem. Nonetheless, there are just as many who believe Knight has "earned" the right to perform even though they too harbor some kind of resentment. However, it seems both camps will be watching the Super Bowl. So much for standing on principles. Knight is a major contributor to the indigenous American Musical Art form known as R&B. Knight gave meaning and expression to the disillusionment many blacks feel daily about America. You could hear her songs crooned by Doo Whoopers beneath street corner lamps across America's Universities of Street Corners. Knight sang America thru her songs: believing America would live up to her promise.

Nationwide - When three brothers, Collin (13), Ryan (10), and Austin Gill (8), sought out to start a business to make them extra money, giving back to their community and drawing in eco-conscious consumers was at top of their minds. Titled Frères Branchiaux, their candle and home fragrance company aims to "...help savvy, eco-conscious consumers who wants to beautify and enhance their environments with lush and unique fragrances that are non-toxic, organic affordable luxury."

Their products are handmade with organic ingredients and materials to appeal to consumers who care for their environment and their community.

As a result of their brand consistency and supportive following, the boys’ candles are on the shelves of 21 stores and boutiques.

In addition to Macy’s, they have collaborated with retailers such as Ace Hardware and ModCloth for special events and projects.

BLACK HEALTH & FITNESS COACH, GREG DORSEY, ANNOUNCES #LMD60DAY CHALLENGE -- AN INNOVATIVE DIGITAL LIFE BALANCE PROGRAM!

Washington, DC -- On January 27, 2019, The Live More Daily 60 Day Challenge will begin in communities across the nation. The #LMD60DayChallenge is an initiative designed by L. Greg Dorsey, a Personal Trainer, Nutrition, Endurance, and Metabolic Coach and the author of Live More Daily: Going All In to Win Your Race. The #LMD60DayChallenge focuses on the transformation of the mind, body, and spirit.

As part of his commitment to promoting community health and wellness, for a limited time, an estimated 150,000 participants from organizations across the nation will have free access to the same tools and goal-setting techniques that helped Coach Dorsey complete multiple Ironman Triathlons and endurance racing competitions.


In 2018, Greg took a major step toward fulfilling his life long passion of promoting health and overall wellness beyond his immediate community and published his highly acclaimed book, Live More Daily: Going All in to Win Your Race. He shared his incredible story of how he defied his medical prognosis starting with classes at the local gym to eventually participating in Ironman Triathlon competitions. He used what the health practitioners told him he could not do as a motivator to push the envelope beyond limits. His next step was to build an interactive platform where he could reach a wider audience through his Live More Daily App. Through this innovative application, he is able to virtually train his clientele, providing daily workouts, nutrition plans, and coaching sessions to keep them motivated and accountable.
