  • 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.

  • 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.

Seeing Growth 365 - Black Men and Women Making History

Our communities are full of people that are positive examples, but we are not always aware of the people that are making the changes. Seeing Growth 365 was created to represent these people and to introduce them to people as the positive role models that they are. The bios on Black Women Making History & Black Men Making History were created as examples of what SeeingGrowth.com would like to share on a daily basis.
 
SeeingGrowth.com has grown over the years by combining inspirational thoughts and opinions to others through others. We would like to add short biographies of the people who are helping to build our communities.
It is sometimes difficult to see positive lights or alternatives in life when we see life through visions that only contain negative images. SeeingGrowth.com has been succesful at sharing some positive activities to people throughout the world, but SeeingGrowth.com wants to begin sharing the stories of the positive people that reside in our communities on a daily basis to attempt to overshadow some of the negative images that we are forced to see throughout our days.

 

Emmanuel Brown is the owner and founder of SeeingGrowth.com. He is currently working on Seeing Growth 365 - Black Women and Black Men Making History through his website and seeking short biographies of positive black men and women to serve as positive bridges between adults, youth and our communities.
