🎉 Next month marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision, a pivotal moment in the fight for civil rights and equality in education. While this decision aimed to dismantle the "separate but equal" doctrine, its legacy is complex and far-reaching. I recently had the pleasure of teaching my students about this intricate legacy during our February Black History Month culture and diversity lessons. The immediate backlash following the decision led to the unjust removal of educators of color from the education industry for decades, perpetuating systemic racism and inequality. This is most evident in the persistent lack of diversity within the education sector. Before Brown v Board of Education, there were thousands of highly qualified Black and Brown teachers in segregated schools across the nation. However, following the decision, many of these schools were shut down, and there was a nationwide mass firing of Black and Brown educators. Despite their equal or even superior qualifications, they were often not hired in the newly integrated schools. Some districts even refused to integrate and instead closed all their schools for a few years. As with many aspects of society, representation matters. The absence of educators of color likely discouraged students of color from pursuing education degrees, further exacerbating the lack of diversity in the profession. This vicious cycle has been perpetuated for 70 years. As we celebrate progress, it's crucial to acknowledge and confront the ongoing echoes of this racist backlash that still reverberate today. Let's honor this anniversary by learning and sharing the accurate history, while also reaffirming our commitment to creating inclusive and equitable educational environments for all. #BrownvBoard #CivilRights #InclusiveEducation #EducationForAll 📚✊🏾

Michael Neill, this quote really resonates with me. We can easily lose sight of the challenges we have already faced when dealing with creative blocks in the present. It's all fun when past successes are shared with friends, but clinging to the past can make us forget that trying, failing, building, destroying, and creating will always mostly be hard work. We might feel frustrated when thinking about past successes, forgetting what they had cost us, or becoming anxious about our immediately possible inability to repeat them, too. The Truth lies in Trust (and... WORK) when leaning into the power of creation and creativity. #powerofcreation #creativity

What a powerful and timely piece👊🏾! Insightful and informative.

We have so much global conflict today under crushing debt & few economic resources to meet present needs. Senseless crimes are escalating and traditional values have no place in our homes today. Resolution comes with a massive dose of truth. We need to release primary sources to verify and confirm our true black history. American red Indians came from Mongolia 🇲🇳 in the 1800s and were never indigenous to America. The real American Indians were black when a black Columbus showed up from black Europe in 1492. Blacks lived in America over 2,000 years. Equally, blacks lived in Europe for over 2,000 years. The Black Hebrews occupied Europe and Scotland. Ben Franklin's Essay of 1751 on the increase of mankind par.24 is the clearest statement on race with an extremely small white population tied to the Caucasus but housed in England mid 1700s when the global population was 600 million. Today of 8.2 billion souls UN /CIA report 5 % is considered pure white. How can history be accurate? In North Africa this summer I was called a Berber blue man but quite content with the genetically proven black bin Yahya Hebrew / Al Ali label. Blacks managed the planet as leaders for 5,800 years going back to a black Adam in BCE 4000. Today blacks are assigned to Africa which appears much smaller on a real map of the world, and is the only continent owned & controlled by other nations. In the Western hemisphere there are no known communities speaking an African language or dialect yet we are called African. There are many European languages spoken to this day in the West by black islanders. Why? Their black ancestors came from Europe. So sad we are living in an extremist and white supremacist world influenced by twisted theories penned by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach b. 1752 and Georges Louis Leclerc b. 1707. But after closer inspection I find it extremely hard to accept these two whitewashed Euromoors had anything to do with racist ideologies conceived in the mid to late 19th century which influenced Darwin, and gave birth to Eugenics and Zionism. The DNA, i.e. fraudulent Haplogroups R, J and I assignment to Europe and MENA, and primary sources like the Anglo Saxon Chronicles based on copies of unknown and unverified material need to be tossed out the window to make way for the real story of black mankind and humankind (not the same thing and read the writings of EG White along a timeline of circa 6,000 years). Our black leaders and black academics have failed 95 percent or 7.79 billion melenated souls on our planet. They are either too lazy to read / think for themselves OR lack the courage to speak out ! As to primary sources I have over 5m records, 30k DNA matches, over 90 kits managed on both sides of the family. Incredible insights from my wife's Polish family with Haplos R, J, I, and H with strong matches among modern Jews & modern Western Europeans. Always remember black history is inextricably linked to Biblical Hebrew history. Shalom.

An artist who draws an image is an artist. The artist who draws and makes use of the medium it draws on (think Banksy) increase the interaction and enjoyment of the art. An artist that also uses the display and the place it is displayed further enhance the immersive-ness of the art. The little touches and use of location/space/time effectively elevates the value of the art many-fold. In many ways, Consultants and the value they bring to table is the similiar. Companies evaluate scope on cost and sometime miss the perspective on value the different types of consultancy can bring. based on experience, depth of knowledge and having gone and seen through the mistakes.

Before long, the boat is taking on so much water that it’s at risk of sinking, and suddenly, what seemed like a manageable problem has become a full-blown crisis. In the realm of cybersecurity, vulnerabilities are like that hole in the boat. If left unaddressed, they can grow into significant threats, putting the entire organization at risk. Assuming that someone else will patch these vulnerabilities or that they won’t cause immediate harm is a dangerous mindset. Just as ignoring a hole in a boat can lead to disaster, failing to fix vulnerabilities in your cybersecurity can lead to breaches, data loss, and irreparable damage to your organization's reputation. It’s not just about protecting your assets; it’s about ensuring the entire ship stays afloat. Excellent one Alvin Foo, thanks for sharing. 👏 #Cybersecurity #Infosec #RiskManagement #VulnerabilityManagement #DataProtection #SecurityAwareness #CyberThreats #SecurityBestPractices #DigitalSafety #CISO #CyberResilience #DataSecurity #SreenuPasunuri
