Unauthorized Military Black Hairstyles

Recently, I was in my local VA office when I ran across this article in a military magazine. I was stunned by the article. African American enlisted females worry about family members they leave behind, the threats of war, being targets of rape, and now they are being attacked for wearing hairstyles like braids and twists that do not meet military guidelines and standards.

The Pentagon said the military would review controversial grooming policies that led some to accuse the Army of racial bias. Grooming guidelines released in late March, known as Army Regulation 670-1, included rules on hair grooming. Among the "unauthorized styles" were natural hairstyles popular among African American women, including twists. A White House petition, asking the Army to reconsider the ban, gathered more than 10,000 signatures.

Thank you to the women members of the Congressional Black Caucus for standing up for African American military women and Secretary Hagel for asking the military to review the guidelines. Click here to read the article in the Washington Post.

Don’t play Around, Write it down

 

Don’t play Around, Write it down is a passion-filled approach for turning ideas into structure.   Ideas consist of our passions, talents, and creative juices - some waiting to be harnessed.  The book was written over a one-year period of scribbling notes in coffee shops throughout California and other parts of the globe.   The idea to structure process examines life experiences in terms of assets that generate a return – not always defined in terms of money. 

From an analytical perspective, this lifelong endeavor can be surmised as solving an equation(s) with variables.  The equation is our structure and our life experiences are the variables (remember X, Y, and Z??).   In other words, make your life count through “plugging in” experiences that create value whether it is a career in the investment industry; becoming a pilot; starting a business; writing a book; going to college; becoming a savvy entrepreneur; or in starting a singing career.  One or more experiences may apply over your life.     

The author, Cory Roberson, shares some of his experiences with failure, fear, business, travel, education, coffee shops, youth programs, investment management, and the inspirational people who’ve helped him along the way.   Let’s take this journey together.

BWSI Enrollment Protocol

 

BWSI Enrollment Protocol

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the mighty entrepreneurial men and women of BOBSA who have joined on the mission of cooperative economic building within our beauty industry and greater community at large.  It is evident by the response we have gotten so far that unity is a powerful tool indeed that has to be the foundation of business pursuits going into the new century.  As long as we continue to overcome obstacles and continuously use our hard work and imagination to foster stronger business relationships then we are well on our way to passing on the generational wealth that we owe to our beautiful Black children. 

I wanted to take a moment to emphasize how important it is to follow enrollment and continuous improvement education as we move forward.  We have to develop a system of integrity for the thousands of others who are coming down the path to Spiral Funding.  The system has to be informative, exact, and duplicating.  With this said it is of the utmost importance that we become accustomed to dealing with one another on a direct business level, this is crucial to maximizing the partnership between Black Wall Street International and BOBSA.  The protocols in place are to ensure that we have accurate documentation to build upon and to be certain that we are transferring KNOWLEDGE by the most clear and efficient means.   

I will cite a few weekly ongoing presentations as examples of this. 

1.Wednesday Q&A Session- It's important to have watched or direct your oncoming BWS executive to watch the orientation prior to calling in.  This will make the sessions more productive and allow us to get more in depth.  Please Register for Wednesday calls on www.bwsintl.com.  Click Spiral Funding, learn more, then webinars.  All upcoming meetings can be found and registered for there in a couple minutes.

 2. Sunday night orientation and enrollment-  This is for first timers looking to enroll and existing members to get a wealth of knowledge on the requirements of the Spiral Funding program.  It is great business insight and conversation about your business so Please Register ahead before the event, otherwise we will not be able to see your participation.  If you only call in and do not register we cannot issue your certificate for the training and we will be opening room for errors in our communication channel as we build. 

 3. The Executive Power Lounge-  The Power Lounge is a major component of the continuous education strategy.  We utilize it to give continuous informational updates and meet their regularly to discuss upcoming projects.  The Power Lounge will be a great experience. 

 These are but a few important items.  I just wanted to impress upon our minds and spirits the importance of following protocol with BWSI given the business nature of the relationship that we are nurturing.  We are here to assist you in the proper spirit, and we want to sure to set a good business precedent from the onset of Spiral Funding.  Be Blessed family and please feel free to follow up or contact me with questions. 

 Best Regards,

Brett Forney

Family Resource House of Unity

 Elder Eddie Abrams is the Founder and Executive Director of the Family Resource House of Unity (FRHU). The FRHU is a non-profit, community based organization currently located in the Eastmont Town Center, 7200 Bancroft Avenue, Suite 230, Oakland, California.

Eddie, was born in 1931 in the village of Hub, Mississippi, he is one of fifteen children. Eddie was raised in an environment that instilled in him a spirit of caring for all people. It caused him to realize at an early age, being monetarily poor, did not diminish one’s God given human qualities nor one’s ability to achieve. His spirit of giving and caring for others are rooted in the Great Volumes as written by the profits of old "Love ye one another".

 Eddie relocated to Oakland, California, in 1948. He attended McClymonds High School in Oakland, California and joined the California National Guard in 1949 his outfit was activated in 1950, deactivated in 1952. Following military service, he found employment at the Alameda Naval Air Station where he worked for 28 years then transferred to the Oakland Naval Supply Center where he worked as General Forman until retiring in 1986 with 36 years of dedicated service.

 During his employment at the Naval Supply Center as general Forman, he received numerous awards for leadership and outstanding service, and on numerous occasions recognized by the Navy base’s news paper (the Oak Leaf) for the same.

 In 1978, the Grand Architect of the Universe inspired him to establish the Family Resource House of Unity, a Non-Profit Corporation. Through the years, The House of Unity has maintained the same teachings and beliefs, which the elders taught Eddie during his formative years of life.

 Mission Statement

The Mission of the Family Resource House of Unity is to develop a true partnership between community, public and private agencies, churches and schools to collectively address the economic and social needs of families and assist in developing/supporting progressive academic programs.

We will unite as one, to restore our community and cultural values, to ensure the safety of our families, to revere our seniors and that opportunities are available to ensure that our children's futures are successful and prosperous.
