  • 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.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    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. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Obama vs. McCain
In this election, WE REALLY HAVE TO GET IT RIGHT. We have to get the point of our decision, because the consequences and the stakes are higher than ever before. This may sound like spin, but I will spend the remaining days of this campaign unraveling the choices for myself and those who join me in this dialog.

African Americans Are Spellbound. Mental enslavement is the act of blindly and deceitfully maneuvering a person into servitude while that person believes he/she is thinking for him/herself. In realizing that one is mentally enslaved, one can begin to constructively take strides toward freeing their mind from the shackles and re-building a solid, intelligible, unshackled, independent mind state.

Sometimes, in the course of trying to BE like someone else, we lose sight of who we are. It can get tough when you see so many worthwhile role models who's path or history seems to mirror our own lives. We look to those persons for guidance. We look to those persons for inspiration. And, in the ultimate form of flattery, we mimic their movements and decisions as we use those actions as the map towards our own success.

As a 30 year veteran of small and minority business development, I have come across dozens of programs designed to help businesses grow. I have never been as excited, or more convinced that a program could have an impact on small/minority owned business as I am about bartering. Offering a process that eliminates the need for cash truly has the ability to reshape the minority business community and the way small businesses function. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to offer this process to a segment of the market that I have spent all of my professional life serving.
