  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues.

Networking Event

What do you know about networking?  Yes it is something that your computers do.  Yes, that is true, but it also something professionals do to get more business or get more contacts.  I was introduced to networking some years ago, but it was for pleasure and there was no professional gain out of it.

                Fast forward into today I have learned that Serious networking can get your name out in the business world faster than just your marketing alone.  A Happy customer is better advertising than a 30 sec commercial in the world series.  (okay I made that up, but it seems so)  Imagine if you got into a room and made 20 new customers and on top of it had these customers for the purpose of using and promoting your business.  http:www.BNI.com or more specifically http://www.ManhattanBNI.Com .  these are great networking resources for business professional and sole practitioners.
