Is it a option for you to leave the American soil because you don't feel safe anymore In the video above you are listening to Darnell Walker the film maker of the 45 minute documentary Seeking Asylum. Darnell states in the video how the creation of the film came about and he says that a friend asked him why he had a ticket for Norway, and proceeded to jokingly state, was Darnell going to Norway to seek asylum. Right then and there, like many that have come up with great documentaries to share with the world; Darnell Walker used his experience from gaining a education in Filming to make a documentary about Seeking Asylum in Countries that would take African Americans in as Refugees. How amazing this Documentary will be to grasp a view of of a world in which African Americans can migrate to and live a free, safe, and peaceful life. Seeking Asylum is going to give the African American Community a eye opener and I know that there are many in America that may not even consider leaving because they are not taking the course of events happening over the last view years of Racism coming to the fore front as something we should be worried about in 2015. I can't say that I agree to the blindness of what is happening right in front of our eyes, Racism is still and will always be prevalent in America as long as we live. This issue is something that has continued to plague the community and because of the invention of the phone that allow citizens to record on their phone we now see this hatred on a daily basis. Darnell's experience of Racism started at a young age while playing with his cousin outside like any normal child in America does and they were running around outside when a cop stopped him and claimed they started to run because they seen the cop. Darnell said he told the cop that was far from the truth and from that day on he knew he could not trust cops. In Adulthood Darnell continued to experience Racism when he went to college and a cop had him and his friend on the ground for no reason at all with a gun pointed to his friends head, not to mention the part about Darnell driving his 1997 Monte Carlo and he would get pulled over in it at least once a week. I mean really, I have to be honest as a African American in America times have come to a place where we as a people are scared to drive around, step out the house on the porch, and walk around in a community where they say we are all equal and Racism is illegal. That is so far from the truth!!! I feel this way myself in little Winston-Salem NC, that I have to be careful while out in public when I see a cop even tho I know I haven't done anything wrong, but all I can think about is what if this cop stops me just because I am black and I remain cooperative with him even tho he is harassing me and has no Godly reason at all to approach me and ask for my information. All I am worrying about the entire time is death, being beat, or arrested. I truly have felt this way for sometime now because of the several deaths that have occurred dealing with African Americans and the Police. Week after week there has been a death, beating, or unjust situation released on video of a African American being treated unfair. We as a people continue to peacefully protest and state all over social sites how tried we are of the consistent brutality we are experiencing. Nothing has been done and nothing seems to be getting done to make African Americans feel like they are safe in America or even looked at as a human being. It seems like to me that the entire country is implementing the same actions across the globe with the intent to never back done and treat black people as equals. For years African Americans have pushed the message to start working together as a race, support one another, and build with each other but it seems like ears have become deaf to this positive and extremely powerful message. We as the African American community need to say enough is enough and try a different approach to get the attention of our enemies. We have to began working together as a people and I know it seems hard and that it is a struggle to work with the majority of blacks but it's time we do like the enemy and support our own in a positive way while building up the communities that our children live in as one. You might be thinking like I have for several months, how can we start bringing about a positive change, and the way you can do this is to start by going to black owed stores, taking out time to teach the children in your community about there history, being a leader and speaking about the support black business movement daily on any social media site that you have a platform on. There are many African American business owners in America and with the invention of the Social Media sites that are around the web now a days, you can find a black vendor for all your needs on a daily basis. A successful man once told me in order to beat your opponent you must learn what their strengths are. Our opponent has for years made it their business to shop with their own so the money stays in and builds up there community and I truly know that if we do the exact same thing that our opponent has done for years we will began to see change. You can start your support now by watching and sharing the documentary by Darnell Walker Seeking Asylum. Those that really would like to bring change in America, like you will see stated in the documentary; you have to make those that are comfortable, uncomfortable and that will start bringing change. I also would like to share to those that would like to know about the different types of black owned businesses around the world and you want to start supporting them please subscribe to my site and send their business information so we can start supporting one another. My my my my my, this is the lowest action you can take to teach your child a lesson. Mam I don't know you and from the looks of this video I never want to. This lady is totally insane to have done her own flesh and blood like this for the world to see. I know for a fact that she is feeling way worse than her daughter felt when her mom posted this bullshit video. People all over the web are outraged and we deserve to be. I hope she absolutely feels the pain of every negative post towards her for the remaining of her miserable, ignant, low down dirty ass life. Mam you don't deserve to have a child nor do you deserve to live in society with the rest of us that have common sense to know that loading a video on social media to embarrass your own child and speak to her as if she is a dog is truly and utterly unacceptable. I mean answer this for me, "did you think putting that video out would really teach your child to get better grades, keep her bathroom clean, or body clean". You know what, don't even say shit to me. What you did in this video, that you thought would receive a positive reaction from, warranted your ass a whole lot of negative backlash for the rest of your life. You thought that your daughter would do what you asked of her from this video and you wanted to humiliate the dog shit out of her, but you did that to yourself. See you just showed the entire world that you are not only an awful parent, but also you did not take the time to teach her how to take care of herself as a young lady. I have two daughters of my own and I know for a fact that you have to take time to teach them how to take care of themselves as well as the area in which they live. That starts at home first and my daughters watch everything I do and I'm pretty sure she learned those habits that you was cursing her out about that you posted on the web for the entire world to see from your nasty ass. I understand that more that likely the way you dealt with this situation is a direct reflection of the way your mom dealt with you as a child except back then social media was not available. So yeah, at the time of you posting this video you thought you was doing the right thing because mama did you like that. Well stupid you will learn today and for the remainder of your life that what you did was not normal and it is not ok. Thank God for the out poor of positive comments, fundraisers, and support that the world is giving to Remy. Everything that's done in the dark shall come to the light, and you brought all your terrible parenting skills to the light with a video intended to bring change to your daughters ways. I know your thinking right now, how stupid was I and honestly you ought to do another video publicly apologizing to Remy if you have any type of love left in your heart for her. I am disgusted by the content in this video and she knows that video was the wrong way to go about teaching a child a lesson. I hope that all that comes across this post will share and remember to pray for Remy that healing takes place and that God places someone in her life to teach her the proper way to take care of herself and the environment in which she lives. This is what her mom stated about the video: Now I didn't want to go there with some these assholes from Poughkeepsie. First of all no one lives with my family and no one walks in my shoes everyday. The video that was posted of me and my daughter was poor judgement on my behalf I will admit that. But what y'all not going to do is think its OK to harass me. So who ever the hell gave Donna Cummings my info can kiss my whole entire ass. And don't send for this over here because you won't like what you are going to get. Me and my daughter are getting through this together and I am still her mother. A bond never broken. September 26, 2015 was a day of excitement for the city of Winston-Salem at the BB&T Ballpark, the home of Winston-Salem Dash Baseball team. It was the city's first time having the greatest gospel festival in the Southeast which was Co-headlined by Kirk Franklin and Mercy Me. Yes, there was rain consistently but the fans came out in support of this amazing event. Upon entrance into the field I was greeted with a warm welcome from the workers at the Winston-Salem Dash Ballpark. I received a media tag which allowed access to the entire ballpark. As I began to socialize with those that where vending at the event, I learned about some interesting businesses; some in the Triad area and some not. One business that caught my attention was the Scripture Tags business(pictures below). Scripture Tags is such wonderful business and the owners were extremely nice and gave me great information about their business. Scripture Tags is a business that travels to different events world wide to sell jewelry and other unique items homemade and the business specializes in employing disabled adults. I thought that was great, they give disabled individuals the opportunity to work as a outlet to be more independent. For more information on Scripture Tags you can visit www.scripturetags.com. As I continued to mingle at the event waiting for Kirk Franklin to perform; I ran across another interesting vendor who was selling a book titled A Daily Companion To My Utmost For His Highest. The book is written by Jed and Cecilie Macosko and Jed briefly described the book as a book that Helps individuals better digest Oswald Chambers’ hard hitting truths, this supplement to his devotional masterpiece, My Utmost for His Highest, presents a practical examination of each reading. You’ll find a short summary of the day’s topic, background, and Scripture context, and reflection questions. A Daily Companion to My Utmost for His Highest is perfect for new users, longtime fans, and small groups. You can find this great read on www.dhp.org/macosko for $15.99 and below are pictures of the other three books you can get to go along with the book. Now lets get to the best part of the Awakening Festival which is the performance by Kirk Franklin. OMG!!!! he truly surprised me with a lavish/rock/praise and worship performance. What a true performer Kirk Franklin is. It was pouring down raining and this man came out with a boom. You had to be there to feel the energy and see the power Kirk Franklin exhibited at the Winston-Salem Dash baseball field. He saw that the crowd was drained from the rain and cold and needed life and gave us just that. Kirk Franklin literally ran out to the middle of the field in the cold rain and got the crowd on their feet moving back and forth to every single song performed and I'm talking all 75 mins. This man did not hesitate to make everyone that was there feel like it was most definitely worth coming out in the cold and rain to see him perform. I would recommend Kirk Franklin concerts to anyone that asked. In-spite of the rain and cold I was super excited about The Awakening Festival. From my understanding The president of the BB&T Ballpark is looking to have the event every year around the same time. I have marked my calendar for next year to make sure I am in the building front and center with hopes of next time being able to catch a live short interview with Kirk Franklin and his amazing background singers. (below is a little clip from the show). ENJOY!!!! September 26th 2015 Winston-Salem NC is preparing for the masses on this rainy morning for their first major Christian Music Festive being held at the BB&T Ballpark, home of the Winston-Salem Dash baseball team. This is the greatest Gospel Music Festive in the Southeast Co-headlining Kirk Franklin and Mercy Me and many more gospel performers. The Festive is looking to start at 3:15 pm with the last act on at 9:00 pm on September 26th and September 27th the festive will continue at 1;45 pm with the last act starting at 7:00 pm. If you are wondering the time Kirk Franklin will perform, well I got that information for you as well; Mr. Franklin will be on stage at 6:30 pm with a performance lasting 75 min. (according to schedule).
On September 24th I had the pleasure of speaking with Brian Boesch, (Associate Director, Media Relations and Broadcasting of the Winston-Salem Dash BB&T ballpark) about The Awakening Music Festival and the roles he played in helping to achieve the Gospel Festival being held in Winston-Salem. Boesch was in charge of the promoting, marketing, and the media aspect of the event and making sure the word spread to as many as possible.I must say Brian did a great job because The Awakening is being talked about all over. As we began to wrap our conversation up about the festival, Boesch gave the assurance that even if there is rain the concert has an area that will keep a covering over customers and no matter what the show will go on. With The Awakening Festival being the first Gospel Festival at the ballpark, I wanted to know, would this be a event that they are looking to do every year and Boesch replied, “The Winston-Salem Dash is looking to make The Awakening into a yearly concert”. How great this is going to be for the city of Winston-Salem!!!! So every year Winston-Salem attendees can look forward to The Awakening and mark your calender’s. So those that are looking to attend The Awakening Festival be prepared to go and enjoy yourself. You don’t have to worry about the festival ending on this weekend in fear of the rain; just come prepared for the rain and be ready to enjoy one of the greatest Gospel Festivals in the Southeast. The tickets are ranging from $25-$75 and the $35 tickets will come with a Chick-Fil-A sandwich. So if you are looking for something to do on this rainy Saturday I recommend the first Gospel Music Festival at the BB&T ballpark. I look to see you there!!! The other day a friend and I were discussing blogging and its benefits; which lead to a very interesting conversation and debate on the beauty in blogging. I must say that I never really though deeply into the subject of how awesome blogging can be for a person in business or generally.
As my friend began to state her negative opinion about the subject of blogging I felt tremendously threatened as if she was speaking about someone I loved. It was extremely interesting because the energy in the room was like that of a vicious argument between two women that are sleeping with the same man LOL. No but seriously I had to take up for blogging with a knowing in my soul that you are a lost individual if you do not see the benefits that come along with this invention that allows one to express their thoughts on a particular subject at hand. Lets go into why I feel it is important to blog, especially for those that are business owners. 1. Gain more people on your website blogging allows your clients, followers, spectators, soon to be clientele, or Haters to gain a virtual understanding of you as a person. When a business owner begins to blog for their business on subjects that might pertain to your business increases the chances for more clientele. Why do you say that Janel? Simple, with blogging you can automatically post your website on that post and encrypt a interesting and capturing detail about your business to which will cause the people reading to check out your website. Janel how do you know that works for sure? Well do to the fact that every time I read a blog I go on the websites mentioned on the blogs to get further information. Now mind you that blog has to be extremely interesting for me to read for one and to continue on to the websites mentioned on the post. If you find creating interesting content is a hard task, hiring professionals to get your content to that place that draws the audience in on the web may not be such a bad idea. You can go to www.hhcorp.weebly.com anytime for those services. P.S. see how i mentioned a benefit for the business owner blogging for their business and professional bloggers as well!!!! 2. Generating leads Yes, that's correct I said it, "generating leads". There is a process to getting more customers added to your business and this is the way to do it. As soon as the person takes notice of the website and they go on to visit, your main goal should be getting their information to create a lead. Not everyone will go on your website and not everyone will become a lead. You as a business owner want the ones that are really interested in what your brand is and stands for. So once the reader goes onto the website a great idea to turn them into a lead is to offer a discount to your services or something free; people love discounts and free items. Here's the catch 22, in order to get the free or discounted service the guest will have to fill out the information sheet to receive the item. It takes money to make money, and that's what great business owners do (promoting marketing) . 3. It shows leadership Writing content about your business gives your readers the understanding that you are a person that is very serious and involved with your business and it show you care about clients. Including information that customers have complained about or being on top of new products coming out shows the readers that you are a expert in the business you are running. Your readers, which if not customers already, will soon be customers because of that quality of leadership you display by taking the time out to connect with your clients/potential clients in a personal way(blogging). That plays a major role for business owners today. People do not want to deal with anyone running a business that is not stable or does not show true skills of being a leader in not only your business but in life. With blogging two times a week you have the opportunity to show your view on life and encourage people to be apart of a brand that is owed by a leader. Imagine how beneficial it would be to help customers out that have not used a product coming out and you know that it is a great product, but you have heard some issues that can easily be fixed by relaying the correct information before it gets to those that are purchasing it from your company. That shows leadership and a caring attitude because you are staying ahead of the game and educating your readers to receive the best results. Blogging does just that, it gives your business the opportunity to allow your readers to know who you are and push your business all at the same time. AMAZING!!!! In my conclusion my friend and I finally came to an agree to disagree situation, but I knew I was right LOL. There is beauty in blogging for those starting a business, established businesses, or bloggers blogging just to express your option can bring positive results.
