    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

  • 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.

INTRODUCING THE BUY BLACK ALLIANCE!!!

The BUY BLACK ALLIANCE is a NEW & INNOVATIVE NATIONAL ORGNIZATION that Grooms & Guides the public to focus on patronizing BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES! By sitting on Boards like the UAPA, The Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce & Business Alliance and working with other community organizations, the Founder & President has developed a business Support Formula that not only keeps the DOLLARS circulating through the Community but keeps the DOLLARS IN THE COMMUINTY and CREATES JOBS!

One of the HIGHLIGHTS is the BLACK BUSINESS CARD... in which consumers show at participating Black Owned Businesses in the BBA to receive Purchase Points equaling MULTIPLE DISCOUNTS!!!

Another highlight is the RESIDUALS BBA Business Members receive for registering individuals or entities at their location for ample availability & accessibility into the BBA! This Facet is called BBA REGISTRATION OUTLETS!

Another Highlight is the BBA'S Coupon / Receipt Program which guides the consumer/individual's to Organizations to turn in $50.00 of receipts to receive an additional 15% off COUPON at participating Businesses in this program alone!

And this is only the beginning - as the BBA will hold Workshops & Seminars from everything from Computer Literacy to Identity & Black History to Creating & Finalizing your Business Plan, Financing, Marketing... etc!!!

The BBA is also immediately building up community awareness & reputation by holding Senior Luncheon Banquets, Charity Drives- food giveaways, City Wide Festivals, Various Networking Events... etc.!  All of which BBA Members have huge benefits for everything listed above!

And then there's the BLACK BANKING & FINANCIAL ISTITUTIONS! The BBA is ALIGNING these institutions though our Church's, Organizations, Companies, individuals...  etc. though their programs to retain the communities monies & assets!

 This formula is known as the BBA VORTEX!!!

A VORTEX OR CYCLONE IS FULED BY MORE PARTICLES or PRESSURE ENTERING THE CYCLE IN REVOLUTIONS TO SPIN FASTER AND FASTER. THE MORE THAT ENTERS- THE FASER IT SPINS AND PRODUCESS ENERGY-

Meaning...  THE MORE PARTICIPANTS EQUALING (=) THE FASTER THE MONIES CIRCULATE THROUGH THE COMMUNITY without LEAVING THE COMMUNITY!
