Naturally Beautiful Hair Dolls by Karen Byrd

114909_orig.jpg "It has been a goal of mines for some time to start a project where I can take dolls with straight hair and customize their hair to have ethnic styles and textures." 7706111_orig.jpg "As a young girl, I remember loving to play with my dolls...mainly with my Barbie dolls." karen_main.JPG "I thought the dolls where beautiful; but always noticed that my African American dolls did not look like me. Their features did not look like mines. And their hair certainly did not look or feel like mine! This did affect my view of what beauty was. In articles, videos and news stories such as Black Girls Want White Dolls, What a Doll Tells Us About Race, Black Doll White Doll, White and black children biased toward lighter skin & A Girl Like Me - it is apparent that this is something that affects many young people, and that there is a need for positive community change." 6668148_orig.png "The Naturally Beautiful Hair Barbie Doll project is something that I hope will help to bring a positive view of what ethnic beauty is. There is a serious need for our young girls to be able to have dolls that look like them. It is something that affects their self esteem and confidence, and how they few themselves. There have been quite a few studies done that show that African American boys and girls often think of black dolls as bad and white dolls as good. Of course, this is not something that the parent is teaching their child. So why are they getting these mixed messages about good and bad skin color, or good and bad hair? It all has to do with the images they see as they grow up. If a child is constantly looking at images, dolls, television, books and magazines - and only seeing beauty as something or someone with non-ethnic features and long, straight hair - then they are going to assume that this is what beauty is. It is something that has hurt our young people for centuries. But each day we learn that it is important to show them and teach them that their beauty is beautiful." ~ Karen Byrd Our Beauty Recognized... http://naturalhairbeauty.blogspot.com http://www.naturalbeautifulhair.com http://www.facebook.com/NaturallyBeautifulHair http://twitter.com/#!/FlyLocDiva http://www.stylishbella.com

"Shaking the Money Tree" by Zhana
The book is a concisely written and timely guide to raising funds in a tight economy.

Whether your need is in the private or public sector, this book holds an approach that has been proven to work with stated results by each expert.  If you are person seeking the shortest distance along a path, this book must be in your library!

BLACK IN TIME ENTERPRISES

BlacKInTime-SML.jpg

Hugh_3.jpg

As I begin each work day, I can look at the photographs that hang above my desk and see generations of wisdom in the face of the enslaved African, the stern, watchful eyes of  Dr. Carter G. Woodson, Frederick Douglass' imposing dignity, that moment of connection  forged by a single handshake between Malcolm and Martin, the quiet, yet resolute defiance of Rosa Parks and Jesus with the elders (all of whom look like me), sitting at the table for the last supper.

These defining images (and others) occupy an almost spiritual atmosphere from which I draw inspiration and focus on a  daily basis. I'm compelled to make proud, my African and Black American ancestors. I'm infused with their spirit and humbled by the legacy of greatness they have bequeathed to me.

As Black Americans we stand upon the shoulders of men and women whose experience in this country was unlike that any other ethnic group. They were kidnapped from their homeland, enslaved, tortured, terrorized and murdered -- all in the name of White supremacy. Yet, the strength and power of the Black spirit endured and prevailed.

It is because of my profound admiration for OUR TRIUMPHS  and  GENUINE LOVE for OUR HISTORY and THE PEOPLE IT PRODUCED, I created  the BLACK IN TIME ENTERPRISES RESOURCE ONLINE CENTER --- adding the mantra: "Celebrating Who We Are By Honoring Who We Were."

I strongly believe that Black people have a responsibility and obligation to continue the legacy of greatness we've inherited. We do that by creating positive, unique stories within our own lives. I say everyday that In order for Black History To Live, We Must Continue To Breathe Life Into It -- that's the message we need to give our children.

Please use this website as a source of information and inspiration.  It is my sincere hope that this will be a useful tool that  will help anyone interested in promoting and teaching Black History and Culture, more effectively. Encourage your family, friends and associates to visit, too. I've tried to create a virtual forum that will get you EXCITED ABOUT BLACK HISTORY and enable you to Channel That Excitement Into Positive Action That Will Enhance Your Life.

In the words of Dr. Carter G. Woodson, "The mere imparting of information is not education. Above all things, the effort must result in making a man think and do for himself."

Again, THANK YOU for your interest in BLACK IN TIME ENTERPRISES. We value your patronage and look forward to hearing from and serving you.

Peace & Blessings,

Hugh Gaddy, Jr.

365 Days of Black Facts Calendar

Jamaal Brown Created the

www.BLACK365.US

 Calendar to Inspire

 

Black3651.jpg

 

 

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Nov. 5, 2010) - Jamaal Brown once believed that the only thing African Americans could be were athletes, drug-dealers, gang members or entertainers. He eventually put all of his eggs in the athletics basket; however, he was diagnosed with a rare heart condition and forced to have heart surgery while still in high school.

No longer spending time on the court, Brown began cataloguing what he considered to be the most inspiring and uplifting facts in Black history, along with the dates they occurred. Little did he know then, that his actions would be inspiring, uplifting and encouraging thousands of people across the country in the form of a 365 Days of Black Facts Calendar, found at www.Black365.US

Brown, became his high school’s first-ever African American valedictorian, was accepted to eight universities and received nearly $50,000 in scholarships. He credits the inspiration he received from the information in the 365 Days of Black Facts Calendar found at www.Black365.US as “being miraculous for me, and helping me succeed both inside and outside the classroom.”

Many others feel the energy from this 365 Days of Black Facts Calendar. Principals throughout the Palmdale School District in California read the Black fact of the day featured in the BLACK365.US Calendar over the loud speaker during the morning announcements. The district’s superintendent knows the information within the BLACK365.US Calendar is contributing to the growing success of his students.

Black Fathers Radio, Black Teen Empowerment Radio, Black Home Schools Magazine, and a large number of organizations throughout the country have all endorsed the BLACK365.US Calendar.

The calendar is also a great fundraising opportunity for youth organizations,churches, non-profits, and even individuals to earn extra income. A portion of the proceeds from the calendar support a scholarship for deserving high school and college students.

  Can We Regain Our Trust in “Buying Black”?

by Aishah Jeffries-El


Over the years, I’ve noticed that interest among African Americans in supporting Black owned businesses has not significantly improved. Many of the same complaints continue to surface as to why we are still apprehensive in supporting one another, so I would like to share the major ones with you in hopes of reducing those concerns.

  1. Poor customer service is the number one complaint that we have about one another (i.e., when you enter into a Black owned establishment and the owner is on the telephone or assisting another customer, they don't acknowledge you to let you know that they see you and will be with you shortly. You are made to feel like they are doing you a favor by waiting on you).

  2. Cost of products or services can be more expensive than other businesses (based on an individual’s priorities they may not feel the product or the service is worth the price).

  3. Web sites don’t have contact information or the links don't work (i.e. I found a Black owned restaurant on the Internet and when I went to their Web site they didn't have a telephone number, address or e-mail information anywhere on the site. Fortunately, I was able to get their telephone number by “Googling,” so I called, didn't get an answer, left a message and one week later no one had returned my call.

  4. Black hair salons — There was an article a few months back about how Black women are increasingly going to Dominican salons to get their hair done. I personally know a few people who are doing that and their reasons aren't necessarily because they feel Dominicans do a better job. They cited things like they are cheaper, better organized and they get you out fast.

  5. We don't know any Black owned businesses in our neighborhood. This is a big reason why Black owned businesses don't get supported, because we simply don't know they exist. Outside of beauty salons, barbershops, restaurants and daycare, how many other Black owned businesses in your neighborhood can you name? A large number of small businesses don't have big budgets for marketing and advertising to help get the word out.


Because of the “trust issues” that we have with each other as a community, African American business owners have no choice but to work harder than other ethnic groups to win the support of Black people, so here are some solutions:

  1. Provide EXCELLENT customer service – go “above and beyond” to make the customer feel that you are grateful to have them in your place of business (when a customer enters your place of business, greet them with a smile, ask them what they need and if you cannot help them, try to refer them to someone who can).

  2. Make sure your Web site has ample information about your products, your service and location (if you have a traditional brick and mortar store).

  3. If you operate a restaurant, why not have several clear photos of the exterior and interior of your establishment and photos of some of the dishes on your menu to help entice people to come visit your store?

  4. Don’t be afraid to include prices so that customers know right away if they can afford your product or service.

  5. If your only contact information is via e-mail, make sure to check your e-mails frequently and respond ASAP.

  6. Presentation of store and/or Web site should be visually appealing:

    • Store should be clean and organized with nicely painted walls and polished floors.

  7. If your store hours say that you are open at 9 a.m. then you should be in the store before 9 a.m. (I remember at one company that I used to work for, the supervisor told us that if your shift starts at 5:30 p.m., that does not mean come in the door at 5:30 p.m. It means be at your desk and ready to work by 5:30 p.m.)

  8. A Web site is a necessity these days because it's the fastest and simplest way to locate a business.

 

Unfortunately, we tend to remember our negative experiences more than we recall the positive ones. Therefore, we, as Black business owners will have to work harder and more creatively in order to persuade people in our community to overcome their reservations and regain their confidence in BUYING BLACK.

Song is original using no samples.

All animated elements are created by me.

...I wanted to teach kids how the real animal looks compared to the cartoon animals. I've heard far to many tales of children calling cows "Big Doggies", and chickens "Little Big Birds".

So hopefully this can teach children the real names of the cartoon animals they love. "

HBCU TODAY

  $24.95 per bookHBCUTODAY

Sure that it is known that the African American high school dropout rate in too many urban communities exceeds 50%.  This is identified by many individuals and organizations as being a crisis.  Did you know that in 1860, only 10 out of 100 African Americans could read or write?  Communities are seeing its children not graduating from FREE HIGH SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES?  What can we DO TODAY to invest in the future...a future about which many of our ancestors could have only dreamed?  HBCU kidz, Inc. believes that PREVENTION is our most POTENT weapon to win this battle of apathy.

If your company, family or organization  has a commitment to or interest in enhancing awareness of the cultural and educational opportunities available at our nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and inspiring youth to treat education seriously, then we believe you will find our campaign to increase enrollments at HBCUs a perfect complement to your multi-cultural marketing initiatives.

HBCU Today, published by BEE Publishing Division, is the most comprehensive resource guide ever created on HBCUs. It is vital to youth considering post-secondary education, as well as those parents, guardians, teachers, counselors, and youth leaders who have chosen to be responsible for ensuring that our youth receive the information needed to intelligently evaluate educational choices.

This unique book is not sold through bookstores or retail outlets. Distribution of HBCU Today is solely through individuals, companies, and organizations that have chosen to support the future of minority youth and promote the importance of our HBCUs.  HBCU kidz, Inc. is a proud distributor of this awesome resource guide.

The guide provides articles of information, stories about various aspects of life on the campuses of black colleges and universities, brief testimonials from students, faculty and alumni and brief profiles of each of the 100+ Historically Black Colleges and Universities all presented in a graphically appealing manner. The book is an 8 ½ x 11” format, approximately 320 pages and 2.5 lbs in weight.

As an additional distribution vehicle for HBCU Today, your company, family, fraternity, sorority or organization has a unique opportunity to play a significant role in increasing enrollment at HBCUs—and enhancing your corporate brand identity through association with the education of our minority youth. With the nationwide high school dropout rate for minority youth approaching 50 percent (and, sadly, higher in many urban communities), it is more important than ever to include our youth in corporate and organizational cause-related marketing.  Product is easily and conveniently available 3 ways.

1) Book

2) CD Rom

3) Website Access

Digital is the wave of the future and e-books are in. A growing number of our students are very “tech-savvy” especially when it comes to games, gadets and social networking.  GREAT NEWS!  HBCU Today is even available in an instant downloadable PDF that is available in bulk quantity (125 downloads for $489.00, or $3.91/copy)! This makes the book available immediately with complete search functions and live links to all of the colleges and universities featured.  This is something we believe every school, organization, business (large or small) will be excited to offer as a resource. A small business or group could inspire 125 youth to consider an HBCU as an institution of choice by purchasing 125 downloads for only $489.00 and creatively distribute the free downloads via special gift cards to 125 young people in the community. In addition a bulk package of 100 CD books ($595.00) in a very nice gift folder.

 EVERY FAMILY AND HOUSEHOLD LIBRARY SHOULD HAVE HBCU TODAY!

"Our 6 and 7 year olds love just sitting down and looking at the colorful student pictures and pretending that "they" are in the various photo images as college students!

They often pretend that they are sleeping in their dorm rooms or getting ready for classes!"  HBCU TODAY PARENT

In 2010 NMP will release our 10th Anniversary Commemorative issue “Remember The Time” which will not be a directory, but a memorable keepsake with highlights over years of businesses, articles, testimonials, past black page covers and so much more. In order to make this issue a success, we need your support by either placing an ad or by being a $10 individual patron or a $25 business patron and a copy will be mailed directory to you.

Ken and Jacquelyn Payne are the owners of The NMP Information Services and have over 18,000 email club members nationwide with services to include: NMP Business Pages, an online directory which targets East Tennessee, West Atlanta, Nationwide, and Kid Entrepreneurs.
