Jeneba Barrie, founder of Jeneba Barrie Nude Footwear

The ultimate nude pumps are now available in 13 true to hue shades.

Dallas, TX -- Jeneba Barrie Nude Footwear, LLC has officially launched its line of 13 true to hue nude (skin-tone) footwear. The release marks the most diverse and inclusive luxury skin-tone shoe line on the market. For far too long the market has had a very strict definition of nude shoes - one or two shades of beige. This definition excludes a huge part of the population, namely, women of color.

Founder and creative director, Jeneba Barrie, is an attorney by trade. She officially launched her name-sake line after 8 years of market research. The debut style is the classic pointed toe stiletto and it is available in both nappa leather and suede. The shoes are made in Italy with the finest sourced Italian leather.

A good pair of nude shoes gives the wearer a seamless look and can be worn with anything in their wardrobe. These nude shoes are designed to afford everyday women true nude versatility. There are two available heel lengths, 3.5 inches and 4.1 inches that can take women from the boardroom to happy hour and even running errands on the town.

WISCONSIN MAN BECOMES THE FIRST AND ONLY OF 21 CHILDREN IN HIS FAMILY TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE

Paul Lamar Hunter, the first child of 21 children to graduate from college

Nationwide -- Paul Lamar Hunter was born in Racine, Wisconsin in 1970, the 19th of 21 natural children born to James and Louise Hunter. His childhood experiences included poverty, neglect, and tragedy. After the deaths of his father and brother Louise focused her energy on the homeless shelter she founded. Though the shelter was meant to be a stabilizing influence for her family and respite for the downtrodden, it was a breeding ground of dysfunction.

In 2012, Paul made history by becoming the first and only child in his family to graduate from college with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Upper Iowa University. He was able to do this even though he admits that he wasn't really a good student.

"I wasn't going to let any hardships stop me from pursuing my goals in life," he comments. "Education was important to me and nothing was going to stop me from completing my degree. When you come from the inner-city and you walk into a university, you must have your mind set on positive thoughts and accomplishing the task that is before you. You are focused and determine to succeed in the classroom because you want to shine like a star in the sky."

PREGNANCY EXPERT DR. LINDA BURKE WINS ACOG SCHOLARSHIP TO LOBBY ON CAPITOL HILL

Dr. Linda Burke

Orlando, FL -- Dr. Linda Burke, board-certified OB-GYN physician, author and blogger, travels to Washington, D.C. in March of 2019 to lobby on Capitol Hill for women's health. Her passion, advocacy and exceptional clinical acumen earned her a full scholarship to attend the 37th Annual Congressional Leadership Conference, the President's Conference in Washington, DC from March 10th through 12th. Dr. Burke was recently reappointed to the District 12 Perinatal Morbidity Committee American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG).

During this annual conference, OB-GYN physicians from across the nation learn how to better lobby their U.S. Senators and Representatives on behalf of ACOG and their individual communities. Dr. Burke will use this opportunity to discuss strategies for reducing maternal mortality - especially as it relates to African-American women whose death rate is 3x greater than non-black women in the United States, according to the CDC.

On December 27, 2018, President Donald Trump signed the Preventing Maternal Death Act of 2017, mandating all 50 states to report maternal deaths, review the cause, inform the public and provide ongoing training to healthcare providers. Dr. Burke focuses on this monumental first step in protecting pregnant women, and their unborn babies, and plans to become actively involved on a state and national level.
