Episode #110 – On this Wonderful Women Wednesday, we celebrate Olympic Champion Sunisa Lee. Known as Suni, she was born in St. Paul, MN. She was a high school senior while participating in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo. At one point while preparing for the Olympics she wanted to quit during quarantine – Team USA is glad she didn’t. She is proudly part of the Hmong American community, and they are very proud of her. Now, she is taking on two more challenges and opportunities. She’ s a freshman at Auburn University and also will be on the 30th Season of Dancing with the Stars. With all of her endeavors, she’s quoted as saying “It's definitely going to be very different, but I know that it's not going to be as difficult as anything I did in the Olympics or leading up to the Olympics. So, I know that I'm good in that area, but I think it's more mental because I'm not a very good dancer. So, I'm excited to see how this plays out and I'm really excited to find out who my partner is and just how the whole thing will go. I think it'll be very fun.” WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

Episode #109 This Marvelous Motivating Monday, we’re calling it Mental Meditation Monday, as we do another episode on Mental Health. According to National Alliance on Mental Illness (“NAMI”) mental illness is a condition that starts young. 50% of mental health conditions begin by age 14 and 75% by age 24. The American Hospital Association (“AHA”) is the national organization that represents and serves all types of hospitals, health care networks, and their patients and communities. Nearly 5,000 hospitals, health care systems, networks, other providers of care and 43,000 individual members come together to form the AHA. Imagine how this Pandemic is affecting these workers mental health. We just had the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 and many victims, and their families are dealing with mental health issues 20 years later. As a fan of the 19-year-old singing superstar Billie Eilish, I found a song regarding mental illness she did in 2011 at the age of 14 on YouTube called Six Feet Under. I also found a video dated May 4, 2020, by a young lady named Odra Chapman and the title of the video says Covid-19 Pandemic Mental Health Awareness Song Acoustic Title is - Win or Lose.

Episode #108 - This Special Saturday Episode, as we celebrate JUNETEENTH, I play a song by Goodie Mob entitled Free (remix). In 1863 during American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which ended slavery. However, it took TEXAS two years later, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865, to announce slavery was abolished. On June 17, 2021, it became the 11th federal holiday, and bill signed by President Biden. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY? LINKS BELOW FOR: APPLE, GOOGLE, PANDORA, AND SPOTIFY.

Episode #107 - This Marvelous MEMORIAL DAY Motivating Monday, as we celebrate Memoria Day, we open with a little of Billy Ray Cyrus song Some Gave All. When go on to discuss evolving to challenge ourselves. Evolve is defined as develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form. Challenge is defined as an objection or query as to the truth of something, often with an implicit demand for proof. Before we talk about today’s history, I want to thank every military veteran and current personnel for keeping our country safe – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! I also thank their families for sharing their heroes with us – We Are Grateful. Unfortunately, this 2021 Memorial Day also is the 100 Year Anniversary in America of the Burning of Greenwood (outside of Tulsa) Oklahoma known as Black Wall Street on May 31 and June 1, 1921. Also called the Tulsa Race Massacre, is said to be one of the single worst incident(s) of racial violence in American history. Destroying more than 35 square blocks of the district at the time the wealthiest Black community in America. It is funny because it is so hard for me to say United States of America because we are not a United country. Thank you @VonnettaLWest for your inspiring teaching. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

Episode #106 - This Fantastic Fellas Friday- We talk about and celebrate Trae Tha Truth. We play audio from his newly released powerful video/song entitled “Protect Our Women.” Born Frazier Othel Thompson III - Trae Tha Truth (or simply Trae), is an American rapper, songwriter, record executive and activist from Houston, Texas. Embarking on a musical career in 1998, he soon established himself as a prominent member of the Texas hip hop scene. In 2008, Trae Tha Truth was awarded by the Mayor of Houston, Bill White, and Council Member Peter Brown with his own day, Trae Day, in honor of his outstanding work within the community. This is the first time the honor has been extended to a rap artist. Trae Day is celebrated every year on July 22. On May 23, 2021, Houston’s own, Mrs. Tina Knowles Lawson (Beyonce’s mother) presents him with the Change Maker Award at the Billboard Music Awards. The award, according to Billboard, pays tribute to “the artist or group that speaks truth to power through their music, celebrity, and community. They are socially conscious, politically aware, active in their community and charitable with time, money and/or influence to improve the lives of others.” During Hurricane Harvey in September of 2017 Trae and his friends, dubbed the "Relief Gang", spent a full day driving trucks and SUVs around the Houston area helping get residents to safety. They worked in Beaumont, Winnie, Kingwood, and Cleveland Texas - all areas where flooding was severe. In October of 2017 Trae hosted a fundraiser for a Houston area grandma attacked and carjacked at a gas station. In late 2020, Trae and his non-profit organization Relief Gang handed out clothing including jackets and face masks for the homeless. Currently he is Vice President of TI’s Grand Hustle Gang, appointed in 2017. He still calls for justice for Breonna Taylor! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

Episode #103 – Fantastic Fellas Friday- we talk about Black Farmers and how banks are protesting President Biden’s debt relief bill for black farmers. Celebrating how Black Farmer’s Association President John Boyd, Jr. is fighting back. John Wesley Boyd Jr. is a Bakersville, Virginia farmer, civil rights activist and the founder of the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA). He owns and operates a 300-acre farm where he grows soybean, corn and wheat and currently raises a hundred head of beef cattle. For 14 years Boyd was a chicken farmer in a Perdue Farms breeder program. He was also a tobacco farmer for many years. REVERSE DISCRIMINATION TO HELP BLACK FARMERS? There are 3.4 million farmers in the US and just 1.3% are Black, according to the USDA. That is a precipitous decline from nearly 1 million Black farmers in the 1920s. Two different lawsuits now challenge a USDA loan forgiveness program for farmers of color, including Black farmers, contained within in the COVID relief package advanced in the initial days of the Biden administration and Democrat-controlled Congress. While USDA and Congressional authors defend the program, the lawsuits claim it creates reverse discrimination. Three of the biggest US banking groups want the US Department of Agriculture to reconsider the terms of billions of dollars in planned debt relief for minority farmers, claiming it will cut into banks' profits -- and warn they may have to cut those same farmers off from future loans. President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion Covid relief package passed in March includes $4 billion to help pay off farm loans for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers -- a group that includes Black and other minority farmers, who have long faced discrimination from lenders and the USDA. The payments will cover up to 120% of outstanding debt for each farmer or rancher, according to the USDA, which is what the banks are made about. They said black farms are lazy and always go into collection. WOW. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY? LINKS BELOW FOR: APPLE, GOOGLE, PANDORA, AND SPOTIFY.

Episode #102 - On this Wonderful Women Wednesday we celebrate Stacey Cunningham, who made history on May 22, 2018 as the first female president of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in its 226-year history. Cunningham was named the 67th president of the NYSE. In 1994, while still a university student, Cunningham completed a summer internship at the NYSE. Two years later, she began working there as a trading floor clerk. At the time, Cunningham was one of the few dozen female employees on the trading floor – compared to over a thousand male employees. CNBC does a live interview with her from the floor of the NYSE, (which is the background noise you hear) and talks about how technology and algorithms play a key role in the industry. The crypto currency is also discussed as it relates to stock, and this interview is over two years old. Crypto is now taking over the stock market in 2021. Dark pools are discussed, which is a private forum for trading securities, derivatives, and other financial instruments. She encourages the everyday person to learn more about investing. You do not need to be rich to invest in the stock market. There are stocks with shares under $5.00 if you want to try it. Companies like E-Trade, Robinhood and others are easy to understand and will help the beginning investor. Three days from today, she celebrates her three year anniversary in this role.

Episode #101 - This Marvelous Motivating Monday, we discuss the 2nd AMENDMENT and how people of color need to understand their rights and discover organizations that educate about bearing arms.
What is the Second Amendment? Annotated - A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
What was the original intent of the Second Amendment?
Abundant historical evidence indicates that the Second Amendment was meant to leave citizens with the ability to defend themselves against unlawful violence. Such threats might come from usurpers of governmental power, but they might also come from criminals whom the government is unwilling or unable to control.
A SPECIAL INITIATIVE FROM ONE OF THE ORGANIZATIONS HAS TO BE MENTIONED.
“Huey P. Newton Gun Club Housing Development in Atlanta, GA for Women and Children”
Under the Leadership of Kimoni Sadiq the Huey P Newton Gun Club of Atlanta has gone beyond the call of duty. These beautiful brothers and sister have bought several properties in their community and are in the process of transforming them into low-income housing for women and children, also giving a few homeless an opportunity to live in a home.
Local Objectives are:
- To develop power through education - We, the Huey P Newton Gun Club, work to educate our people, particularly the youth. To that end, our movement educates and teaches the community at our weekly meetings; public forums, rallies; programs; town hall meetings; on the streets; in the schools; in the projects; on the radio; through electronic and print media, and anywhere where knowledge needs to be forwarded.
- To develop and enforce accountability in law enforcement and the criminal justice system - We respect the Police in our community who show proper respect for our community. We respect those in authority as long they respect us. We, the Huey P Newton Gun Club, mobilize and organize for an end to police brutality and misconduct. We demand the police in our community, and elsewhere, respect the Human Rights of our people and their constitutional rights. We strive for community police review boards with legal power to seek indictments, punish and discipline rogue police officers. We founded this organization on three “simple” points, it must be understood we do not want to reinvent a long-drawn-out platform or process.
- We want immediate end to police brutality and the murder of black and brown
- We want to cease black on black violence and self-hatred.
- We want to arm every black men and woman throughout the United States, which has been the greatest fear of the establishment.
Georgia’s National African American Gun Association
Here is what their website says they are about. The goal of the National African American Gun Association is to establish a 2nd Amendment Organization that educates and trains our community on the rich legacy of gun ownership of African Americans, offering education, training, support, safety standards, and cultural inspiration.
We are a pro 2nd amendment organization focused on the preservation of our community through armed protection and community building. We are a hub and network for all African American firearm owners, organizations, gun clubs and outdoor enthusiasts.
The long-term goal of the National African American Gun Association is to have every African American introduced to firearm use for home protection, competitive shooting, and outdoor recreational activities. We welcome people of all religious, political, social, and racial backgrounds. We especially welcome African American members of law enforcement and active retired military. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?
