This Black Financial Blogger Helped Create A Bill To Teach Middle Schoolers Money Management

Assemblywoman Angela McKnight and financial educator Tiffany “The Budgetnista” Aliche worked together to draft and advocate a financial literacy bill that would give kids a fighting chance at the future. A1414, wil l instruct the State Board of Education to require school districts to incorporate financial literacy instruction into curriculums for enrolled students in grades 6 through 8.

It was the culmination of three years of hard work on the part of McKnight and Aliche, who used her considerable platforms to assist with getting the word out. Photo Credit: Anthony McKnight “Early financial literacy should be an essential part of every school curriculum, because it’s a critical skill needed for success in adulthood,” said Aliche via press release. She shared portions of the signing ceremony with her community on social media, unable to contain her excitement. “Today New Jersey took a historic leap forward in helping our children secure a brighter future. Today was a manifestation of why I started The Budgetnista ; to help give people the tools the need to live richer lives,” she continued. Photo Credit: Anthony McKnight Mcknight’s fellow Assembly Democrats Nicholas Chiaravalloti, Eliana Pintor Marin, Jamel Holley, Benjie Wimberly and Annette Quijano served as co-sponsors for the bill as well lending their legislative support. While widely respected novels about opulent liars with questionable boundaries and near obsolete mathematical principles that have never shown up on the form to file an LLC have reigned supreme in the primary educational sphere, but not pratical financial information is being moved to the forefront. Information about things like the practical value of compound interest, or why it might not be the best idea to buy all those sweatshirts at the bookstore with your student loan disbursement check has been harder to find…but this bill helps to change all of this.  This law presents children with vital information that has the potential to change the course of their lives by preparing them to properly evaluate their finances and deal with debt as adults.   Regarding the bill, McKnight told Hello Beautiful , “One of the most important lessons a person can learn is how to manage their money. Many young people go into adulthood knowing little about finances, and end up making decisions that cost them in the long run.”  She added, “Teaching our kids early about the importance of managing their money and making sound financial decisions can prevent them from making costly mistakes and set them on the right financial path.” Hopefully, this bill will spread to multiple states.

Casey Anthony: I’ll Be a GREAT Mom to My Next Baby!!

Casey Anthony earned infamy after being acquitted in 2011 for the murder of her young daughter. To the horror of millions, Casey is a free woman, even though this has  destroyed her remaining family . And now, a chilling new report says that Casey is thinking about having another child. In Touch  reports that, according to a source close to the accused killer, Casey Anthony wants to have another child. “She’s been saying she’s ready to have a new family,” an insider claims. Casey’s last child’s skeletal remains were found with duct tape still on them within a trash bag in the woods near Casey’s house. Despite that, the source says, “she believes she has a bright future.” “And,” most jarringly of all, the insider saays that Casey believes that she “can be a good mom.” In case the current state of the world is not enough nightmare fuel for you, there’s this spine-chilling report. Linda Bills was one of the jurors for Casey Anthony’s infamous murder trial. Speaking to  In Touch , the former Juror Number Four admits that she does not like the idea of Casey being in charge of another defenseless child. “We did what we thought was right,” she says of the jury’s bizarre verdict. “[But] it took some time for [the case] to get out of your mind,” Linda admits. She shares that she has been haunted by the details, saying: “it stayed in my mind for a very long time.” Linda Bills says that, in light of how Casey’s daughter died, she is not exactly enamored with the thought of Casey giving the late Caylee a younger sibling. “I really don’t think she should have another child,” Linda admits. Though she could certainly say a lot more, she is reluctant to continue discussing the subject. “That’s all I want to say,” Linda concludes. Some would suggest that any jurors who feel that Casey should not have another child could have made sure of that by voting to convict. At the time, they felt that the state had not met its burden of proof. Back in 2017, Casey herself spoke to the Associated Press. “If I am blessed enough to have another child,” she said, filling readers with dread. Casey then rephrased. “If I’d be dumb enough to bring another kid into this world,” Casey said. “Knowing that there’d be a potential that some little snot-nosed kid would then say something mean to my kid.” So her worst fear is that her child might find out the grisly fate that her other child met. “I don’t think I could live with that,” Casey said with no hint of irony. In 2017, Casey warned  In Touch  that she doesn’t intend to remain hidden from the world forever. “Eventually people will be seeing more of me,” Casey announced. Returning to public life could very well mean having a child, as scary as that sounds. “I am not hiding from something I did not do,” Casey declared. That is a statement on which most people can agree, if not in the sense that Casey means. Of course, if you believe that she murdered Caylee, then you believe that she  is  hiding from something she  did  do. Ultimately, people may have to accept that, like O.J. Simpson and so many members of the current government, Casey may remain free. No matter what vicious crimes people feel extreme certainty that she committed, twelve random people decided that she gets to live her life. Maybe that’s the way that it should be. Or maybe that’s an indictment of our entire messy, deeply flawed “justice” system. We’ll just hope that the report that she’s considering bringing another child into the world is from a misinformed source. The alternative would keep too many people up at night.

Discrimination Lawsuit That Followed Bill Maher’s Use Of The N-Word Is Moving Forward

See the rest here:

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty Many might remember talk show host Bill Maher  referring to himself as a “house n*gger”  back in June 2017 , which caused a major media backlash. Over a year later, the dust has somewhat settled, however the ripple effects of the incident are still being felt thanks to one lawsuit. According to The Hollywood Reporter , Shonitria Anthony was an editor at the Los Angeles-based news site ATTN: around the same time Maher made his controversial statements. The site is all about raising social consciousness for millennials. However, Anthony wasn’t feeling too comfortable at the publication after Bill’s words, considering he is one of ATTN:’s investors. She organized her Black co-workers and asked for a company meeting regarding Maher’s use of the N-word. She also pointed out that there weren’t any people of color in upper management and suggested there be more represented, especially in the human resources department. Soon after Anthony brought these things up, she says she was subjected to adverse employment actions that eventually led to her termination in August. In March 2018 , Anthony filed a lawsuit against ATTN: and its top executives, claiming they fired her out of retaliation for her outspokenness on race. ATTN: says Anthony’s firing had nothing to do with this, but she was let go as part of a business strategy to shift to video. After a Los Angeles Superior Court heard Anthony’s case, they ruled that she has probability of prevailing on her retaliation and discrimination claims. The judge argued that she submitted enough evidence on how she experienced setbacks at the office almost immediately after she protested conditions.  This led the judge to believe that Anthony’s firing was done with “a discriminatory intent.” Now ATTN: is heading to a California appeals court where they’ll have to establish the legitimacy of their actions. Meanwhile, Anthony continues to seek damages for mental and emotional distress, lost wages, and punitive damages.

Ay Dios Mio: Marc Anthony’s Accountant Has Been Robbing Him Of Millions Since 2009

Gabriel Olsen/Getty Images Marc Anthony Has Been Robbed Of Millions For 8 Years Someone’s been robbing millions of dollars from you and it takes 8 years to find out? That’s wealth right there…. According to documents obtained by TMZ, a man named Kyle Tessiero was hired at a major NYC accounting firm that also supports celebrities like Drake, Pharrell and of course Marc Anthony . Upon his hiring, Tessiero gained instant access to Anthony’s bank accounts and credit cards, which helped him facilitate spending money of his own through the account. Two years after gaining access to the accounts, he capitalized on it. Tessiero reportedly made millions of dollars worth of purchases on the singer’s credit cards for eight years, from 2009 to 2017. He used the money to live the dream of his own life style, doing lavish activities around the city. He obviously got away with it for a long time, however, his spending got pretty out of control in the last four years. According to TMZ, the thief used the singer’s AMEX for $2.5 million and used the money out of Anthony’s account to pay it off–so that’s why the jig is finally up. After an internal audit at the company, they discovered the outrageous spending by Tessiero in August. He was booked on first-degree grand larceny charges, and will face up to 25 years in prison, if convicted.
