INSPIRATION: Entrepreneur and Businessman Darnell Ferguson was failing out of high school, but was convinced to transfer to a vocational school. There he took culinary courses and fell in love with cooking. After graduation Darnell wasn't making the type of money he wanted, so he started selling drugs. Darnell was arrested eight times and lost all of his personal possessions and became homeless. At that point he made a decision and says he was not going to be a statistic ," I told myself that I was going to get serious about something I know that I can do, which is cooking". A friend that owned a restaurant that only served lunch and dinner offered to lease the space for breakfast. His cooking became in demand so he ventured out on his own and was able to secure an investor. His dream is a reality, as Mr. Darnell Ferguson has four full service "Pop-Up" restaurants.

Tohnetta Paye and Ernestine Johnson started the first Black-Owned Real Estate Crowdfunding business platform. The goal of their company, "The Tulsa Real Estate Fund (TREF)" is to help low income neighborhoods fight gentrification. Johnson says, "and spread a message of empowerment and financial literacy in underserved communities. Black America should have been doing this for the past 10 years as we could have saved millions of homes and hundreds of communities which would have saved our people from being displaced, but better late than never...some can still be saved. I say it all the time we need to put the attention on the issues that Black America is confronted with and stop listening and being distracted by mainsteam media propaganda. We are already in position to help ourselves. All we need is laser focus on us, will power, and unite around issues that affect us all...that simple!
Seeking to find a cure for cancer in African Americans and Black Americans, the objective of the African-American Cancer Initiative is to offer holistic alternatives, and develop and manage independent preclinical and clinical, biomedical research projects which address unclear biological indicators underlying African-American cancer health disparities. Imbalance in health and healthcare management in the United States is a formidable challenge resulting in substandard diversity-dependent healthcare delivery with consequential poorer health outcomes. African Americans and Black Americans have the highest death rate and shortest survival of any racial and ethnic group in the US for most cancers. Every 3 minutes, two people in the U.S. die from cancer! So join me and take action!

The figures illustrate how disproportionately black Americans, who make up just 13% of the country’s total population according to census data, are killed by police. Of the 464 people counted by the Guardian, an overwhelming majority – 95% – were male, with just 5% female.
Steven Hawkins, the executive director Amnesty International USA, described the racial imbalance as “startling”. Hawkins said: “The disparity speaks to something that needs to be examined, to get to the bottom of why you’re twice as likely to be shot if you’re an unarmed black male.”
We have the talent, money, resources, and brilliant people to establish what we need for our families and communities. We've got to be united; use the Jewish community as an example and white folks just don't kill us and burn everything we build down like you have a history of doing. We can't let history repeat itself like the recent church burnings in the south.
Excerpts from the Guardian Investigative Report on Police Killings in America
There is a difference on how police officers handle the Black community! Below is a sample of Police: Black vs White.
JMS Program at Georgia State Capital Celebrating Monte L. Monroe with my organization at the time Patient Safety First, Inc. My Son Monte was killed by medical error. I wrote the Patient Safety First legislation in which hospitals and medical facilities have adopted principals as best practices. Endorsed by Gov. Sonny Perdue. Event featured The Voices of Atlanta and Opera Soprano Vernay Dabney, Melinda Clark, Conductor Atl. Symphony Orch., and Tenor Kevin Tucker. Medical errors kill more Americans than auto accidents!
