Creator of 3xP Leadership® | Executive & Strategic Leader | Organizational Leader | Project/Program Leader | 2x Disabled Veteran (Army & Navy) | Best-Selling International Author | Professor | Nigerian Igbo Heritage
A thriving economy was destroyed, homes and businesses burned down, homes robbed and burglarized, and most of all, innocent BLACK people were killed! No one was prosecuted, nor were these homes and businesses replaced by the state or federal government. 18 hours of no law enforcement presence or response from the government at a state or federal level. Where is the formal apology from the state or federal government? Where is the well-deserved replacement or compensation to the families of these ancestors? It's just 40 acres U.S. Government? That's small compared to what you own and control today. It's 40 acres that you promised to my ancestors after slavery. I wonder where all those 40 acres went after slavery, obvious racism, Jim Crow, and our battle for civil rights. Look who is representing & want to represent our country today. Two White men who have more problems, lies, corruption, and coverups that deserve penitentiary (not jail) time than a season in 5 reality TV shows combined. If that were two Black/Brown men or women, they would have kicked them off the ballot, prosecuted & thrown them in jail, & ripped their families apart with a smear campaign from hell. I'm so glad our 1st representation was President Barrack Obama & Dr. First Lady Michelle Obama. We showed them different, didn't we? Ya'll wonder why Black Americans like me still believe this country owes Black America more than they can repay. Instead of attempting to repay, they want to repeal everything set in place to make it look like they were trying in the first place. History is repeating itself in this country & will be more potent than before because psychological restraints are stronger than physical. I know some of you will not like what I'm saying but I stand in the truth. Being authentic in my leadership means I stand on my morals, values, and truth whether everyone accepts it or not. "Likes, "Following," & "Reposts" are not what's important in 3xP Leadership®. Building extraordinary leaders for sustained success & longevity on a strong authentic foundation is important. Thank you to those ancestors who dared to be the change in the world they wanted to see.
O.W. Gurley moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 1906, where he purchased 40 acres of land on what would become Greenwood, a community known as Black Wall Street. Gurley ran many businesses of his own and supported other entrepreneurs in their business endeavors. Greenwood became a thriving center that included law offices, medical practices, luxury shops, restaurants, movie theaters, barbershops and salons. It had its own school system, post office, bank and bus service. Michelle Place, executive director of the Tulsa Historical Society and Museum, told History.com, "It is said within Greenwood every dollar would change hands 19 times before it left the community." The town was devastated in 1921 during the 18-hour Tulsa Race Massacre, also known as the Tulsa Race Riot, when a white mob committed what is still one of the worst acts of racial violence in U.S. History. #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory365 #blackhistoryeveryday #blackhistoryfacts #blackhistorymatters

Working with your board and council is key to aligning strategy for the future of your community. A reminder that in our industry, an open mind is one of the best things a board, council or court member can bring to the table. Grateful to have that in a community where I work AND live. #medc #mckinney #mckinneytexas #mckinneytx #pipeline #projectpipeline #development #economicdevelopment #land #landdevelopment #strategy #strategicthinking #strategicplanning #boardretreat
We spent the day yesterday with our staff and board evaluating and strategizing about our high-level misson, KPI's, and goals, and it felt only fitting to end the day on the eighth floor of the District 121 Building as the highest point in McKinney.

Offshoring Innovator & Entrepreneurial Mentor | Empowering Businesses & Communities with Purpose-Driven Outsourcing Solutions
🍫 A Tale of Birmingham's Titans: The Chamberlains and Cadburys 🏭 The profound legacies of two families from Birmingham's history – the Chamberlains and the Cadburys. Their story is not just about building empires; it's about the selfless dedication to serving others, a principle that continues to inspire me and, I hope, many others. The Chamberlains and Cadburys shaped modern Birmingham through industry and politics, but more importantly, through their unwavering commitment to public service. They weren't driven by the pursuit of wealth; their actions were guided by faith, philanthropy, and a strong sense of community. Joseph Chamberlain, with his vigorous reforms and public works, transformed Birmingham into a model of efficient urban governance. The Cadburys, on the other hand, used their success in the chocolate industry to create the area of Bournville, a model village offering a better quality of life for workers with schools, leisure and health facilities and public parks. These families didn't conform to the typical elite; they were innovators and radicals, shaping politics and industry on their own terms, driven by a desire to improve the lives of those around them. They saw their wealth and influence as tools for public good, not personal gain. In today's world, where businesses often chase profits at all costs, the story of the Chamberlains and Cadburys serves as a powerful reminder. Success isn't just about what you achieve for yourself; it's about how you uplift others. As we navigate the challenges of our time, their legacy can be a guiding light. Strive not just for material success but for meaningful impact. Serving others is not just an act of kindness but a responsibility we all share. In 2024 build not just for profit, but for purpose. Create businesses and initiatives that serve, support, and sustain communities. #Legacy #PurposeDrivenBusiness #BirminghamHistory

Wealth transfer Legal Counsel to the financially successful | Anti-violence advocate | Designing protection plans for generational assets | Author-acclaimed Legacy on Purpose℠ Journal | Director | Family Governance Guru
A legacy or planned gift is a gift that keeps on giving! I am thrilled to serve on the Legacy Giving Advisory Council to amplify the impact of Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater to the local and global community and the benefits to individual legacies to support that meaningful work. Planned gifts enable you to support Arena Stage’s mission in a significant way without affecting your savings, income, or current financial planning in any way. These gifts endow long-term financial support for its vision “to galvanize the transformative power of theater to understand who we are as Americans.” A planned gift is a method of supporting non-profits and charities that enables philanthropic individuals to make larger gifts than they could make solely from their income. To effectively pursue its mission to “produce all that is passionate, exuberant, profound, entertaining, deep and dangerous in the American spirit,” Arena Stage must ensure its long-term financial vitality. Typically, these gifts are made as bequests through your estate planning—Will or Trust. But Arena Stage would like you to get connected now, even if the gift is a future one. If you would like to know more about Arena Stage and its many programs that strengthen our appreciation for The Arts and deliver award-winning performances, please do not hesitate to message me. Let’s discuss your philanthropic interests and the lasting legacy you want to leave in the performing arts community. Arena stage offers many ways to get involved. Join me for an upcoming performance, and you’ll be “sold!” Look at this list! You can’t go wrong with any of these options! https://lnkd.in/dyAnHep4 #legacyonpurpose #LegacyMakers #thearts #plannedgiving #legacygiving #philanthropy #LisaTheWealthCounselor Maya Weil CAP®

Owner of NBR.co.nz, The National Business Review in New Zealand & NewMediaSolution.us & NewMediaSolution.co.nz a global, out of the box SAS media platform.
For many years, The NBR List carried a negative label: RICH. Amid the pandemic in 2020, the decision was made to skip the List, as the audience was uninterested in hearing from affluent individuals unless they offered valuable advice. However, in 2021, The NBR List was relaunched. It now showcases inspirational insights and philanthropic innovation, resonating with a broader audience. Despite the positive reception, not all individuals wish to be featured. This year, we faced another legal challenge from someone unhappy with their own success. Nevertheless, those who embrace our mission generously share their time and stories, shedding light on both challenging and rewarding experiences. Join us on Monday, June 10th to celebrate the unsung heroes featured in The NBR List. Let their stories of resilience and bravery inspire you. NBR - National Business Review.
