PRESS ROOM: Black Women’s Voices Take Center Stage at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women
In the United States, there are more than 600,000 to 800,000 people being trafficked annually across international borders and 40% percent of sex trafficking victims are Black women and girls. The panelists discussed the vulnerabilities of Black female trafficking victims, gaps in services and public policy, and the historical context of the oversexualization of Black females dating back to the Transatlantic Slave Trade.
You can run but you cannot hide
There is an old proverb: âYou can run but you canât hide.â This spiritual quote is synonymous with Trumpâs leadership behavior. Bidenâs Presidential election brought Trump his day in court and legal accountability is finally in the developmental stages of the Grand Jury. Thank God from whom all blessings flow. Trump has been a life-long
Criminal Justice
Hypocrisy at its finest: What a White man can get away with, a Black man would get lynched for half, and this “unspoken but well understood” rule of thumb is something that African Americans have been aware of for generations. And White people know it too, they just once pretended to ignore it, that is, until their “Proud Boy” criminal-in-chief Donald Trump became president of the United States of America. It’s been hell ever since.
Racism is on the rise, but so are our Black people
If anyone ever truly got real with Donald Trump, they’d explain to him that the nail was put in his presidential coffin when this nation had to bury George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the 270,000 Americans who died due to COVID-19. Not once, and for not one of them, has the president stood up and said “enough is enough” denouncing the acts or afflictions that killed the innocent.
Angela Davis and a walk down memory lane of ‘the revolution’
Angela Davis was no physical threat to them, but she was a mental powerhouse, unshakeable and unbreakable as she stared the white reporter in the eyes, answering his questions that he thought were hard-hitting, and she thought were idiotic and simplistic from a person who had no idea of what it meant to be Black in America.
Black Power & Black Athletes
If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything; we’ve heard that a million times before. And when you decide to take a stand – true warriors realize that you have to lay it all out on the line—the guts, the glory, the fame and yes, the FORTUNE! The way to maintain Black power is to sometimes turn your back on the “almighty “dollar-dollar- bill y’all,” and it is long overdue that Black athletes today start to get on the bandwagon for justice started by Black athletes decades ago.

You can’t do nothing about CRAZY
Some lovers of fiction novels swear that Moby Dick was the greatest American fiction novel that was ever written. Some of our non-fiction writers are certain to contend that President Donald Trump’s niece, Mary Trump, has penned a classic.
