BLACK PARENT CONNECT CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP AND PROJECT
HISTORY
On April 21, 2007, two privately held African American Family Owned
Corporations, HBCU Kidz, Inc. and NMP Information Services, Inc. (K.E.N.N.Y.)
co-founded Black Parent Connect (www.BlackParentConnect.com) as a test
pilot to evaluate the important needs of internet black business owners and
black consumers who seek to uplift and provide positive services and products
for children of color. The pilot study ended on March 1, 2008.
After evaluating the results and determining the sense of urgency for
implementation, the founders identified a need to quickly expand their impact in
range and scope to meet the various problems, challenges and concerns
identified through the pilot study. On March 1, 2008, the two corporations
decided to focus and concentrate on their two most passionate respective
interests also identified as key concerns from the study. NMP Information
Services spun off to drive our SAVE OUR BEAUTIFUL BABIES initiatives, and
HBCU kidz spun off to drive our SAVE OUR BLACK FAMILY ECONOMICS
initiatives.
Each corporation co-sponsors and supports respectively these two very
important web based activities. The founding leadership team strongly believes
that there are MANY other parents with children of color across our country that
want to connect, support one another, share with one another, and simply
become stronger as we link together.
We welcome collective partnerships and strategic alliances with all like-minded
groups and individuals.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas or concerns please contact us!

Red is a very strong color. It is a noticeable color that is often used on caution and warning
signs. It is often associated with stop or "beware". Red is a good color to use for accents that
need to take notice over other colors. Red is often used in flags for nations, as it is a symbol
of pride and strength.
Black is also a very powerful color that also portrays one of class elegance and wealth.
Black combined with other colors can have a very strong statement. Black is a color that can
fit into almost every design to add contrast, type and make the other colors stand out more.
Green is the color of nature and health. It represents growth, nature, money, fertility and
safety. Green is a relaxing color that is easy on the eye and has a healing power to it. It is
often used to represent anything having to do with health.
