A Passionate Message

OrlandoUnity LogoBy Rena Mack Peterson
It's my life, my life's not mine I live for a better tomorrow for my people. No matter where I go or what I do. Im searching for ways to cultivate culture, love, independence and family to my people. It doesn't mean I'm anti any other race. That means that I love my black people and I want the best for them like every other race wants the best for there own.

Upside Down, Right Side Up Miracle

Jill Capri SimmsBy Jill-Capri Simms Excerpt from the new book “I Am”

They Sent Me A Message This Morning That Said My Friend May Only Survive Four More Days

JoeFerguson 200by Lawrence A. Robinson
I met Joseph S. Ferguson sixteen years ago when I started working for Sprint. He had been working there for a while already. I noticed his weird sense of fashion before we even met. He was somewhat loud but friendly and will laugh in a minute.
