Entrepreneur Creates ‘Raising Black Millionaires’ Flashcards To Teach Youth About Building Wealth

Original post:

R epresentation is everything. In an effort to teach children about the importance of entrepreneurship and building wealth, a Black-owned media company based in New Orleans created a flashcard game that highlights the journeys of Black millionaires and billionaires, the Chicago Defender reported. Entrepreneur Creates Flashcards That Teach Children About Black Millionaires And Billionaires https://t.co/nP8OzskFSL Afro-American Newspapers @afronews pic.twitter.com/1SZio44OhX — AFRO News (@afronews) September 29, 2019 The cards—which are a part of a collection dubbed Raising Black Millionaires Flashcards—features the stories of 52 entrepreneurs and business moguls who have garnered wealth across different industries. Each card includes the individual’s backstory and the awards and accomplishments that they’ve made throughout their careers. Entrepreneur Thiah Veona Muhammad , who created the cards, believed it was important for children to see examples of Black wealth outside of the entertainment and sports industries. “I think it’s imperative that we, as Black people, know who our millionaires and billionaires are, more specifically those who are in business and are non-entertainers/athletes,” Muhammad said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “Showing them real examples of people who look like them, making millions in various industries will not only help them to identify themselves as people of greatness, but it will introduce them to industries that they likely have never been exposed to before, giving them more career choices.” Amongst the business moguls featured in the deck are Janice Bryant Howroyd and Pamela J. Booker . She hopes that parents and educators will use the cards as a tool to educate and empower Black youth. This isn’t the first educational tool that Muhammad has created for African American parents and children. In 2015 she released a book titled How to Raise Your Black Child to Be a Millionaire: Child-rearing Secrets of the Black Elite and she also launched a blog that features lessons about financial literacy and wealth creation that can be implemented in the household and the classroom. The company also has a Raising Black Millionaires podcast where Muhammad leads candid conversations with African American millionaires on how their parents helped guide them towards success. Many Black entrepreneurs have created educational products to empower the youth. African American inventor Elliott Eddie created The Entrepreneur Game to teach children what goes into running a business.

‘Empire’ Recap: Cookie Breaks Teri’s Big News To Andre Hoping He’ll Fight For His Life

Read the rest here:

Source: FOX / Getty It’s the second to last episode of Empire Season 5 and tonight’s episode definitely did a good job of dragging out the, “Is Andre Seriously Going to Die?” saga. It looks like he is but again, you really never know on this show. Anyway, the episode starts with Lucious not wanting to accept that Andre is dying (he’s still the only one who knows out of the family). But Andre has accepted his fate and wants to die on his own terms. Lucious tells him not to do a dang thing until he talks to him first then he storms out. We see Dre carefully placing cards that he wrote out to all of his loved ones. Meanwhile, Cookie wants Teri to tell Andre she’s pregnant to give him something to fight for. Teri says she won’t say anything because she’s surprised that she’s even pregnant until she gets word from the doctor that everything is okay. Lucious gets into a minor car accident. It’s minor in the sense that he swerves off the road and hits a rail and keeps his life. He does get knocked out, though, and starts having dreams where he’s conversing with dead people from his past. Cookie’s cousin that he killed manages to tell him he ain’t ish, later on, he sees Shyne, and he even sees his dead father. The latter gives him the strength he needs to let go of Andre. Now we’re at a meeting at Empire with Becky, Giselle, and Patel. Jamal was supposed to be there but he’s on his honeymoon in Seychelles. Patel wants to know what’s up with the money and how is the tour doing. Then Thirsty interrupts with an Empire artist saying their checks didn’t clear. In fact, Empire checks are bouncing all over the place. It’s the feds again. They froze Empire’s assets. As a matter of fact, Megan, the leader of the pack, interrogates Cookie without a lawyer. Cookie demands a lawyer and Megan pokes at her about freezing Empire’s assets. Then she brings up Panama. She shows Cookies photos from her trip to Panama with Damon Cross and asks what happened between them. If Cookie snitches on Damon then Megan will unfreeze all of Empire’s assets. Cookie ain’t no snitch, and she ain’t no fool. Just the fact that Cookie is there without a lawyer is grounds enough to get her out of there. Cookie tells her straight where to go, too, before sashaying away. In the meantime, Becky, Giselle, and Andre, who isn’t even supposed to be working but everyone needs him, are trying to figure out what to do. Becky suggests throwing a new special concert, that is distinctly separate from the tour, where Empire artists are paired with non-Empire artists. There’s a venue that owes her a favor so maybe this could work. Now we’re the part of the episode where Lucious finally wakes up from his blackout to Thirsty calling and telling him he needs to get back to reality quick. Then we see a flashback of Cookie meeting up with Damon. He’s trying to get her to leave Lucious again. Cookie says she wants her hubby and her boys and the life they built, but she does tip him off about the feds since she’s feeling generous. Andre asks Kingsley if he can help whim reach Eddie Patel, who is literally at some billionaire boys club convention Silicon Valley. They have a quick exchange, and Kingsley says he won’t be able to get in because the billionaires don’t think too highly of him. He’s also skeptical of Andre asking for help. Andre says he forgives him and that he’s his big brother and that he needs him. That’s enough tenderness for Kingsley to wire him a crap ton of money, adding that it’s not half of what he owes empire, but it’s a start (later on we find out that Kingsley also gave him some leads on potential investors). Now it’s time for the special concert. Hakeem performs with Ty Dolla $ign. Tiana performs with Sevyn Streeter. And it’s a good night. Teri finds Cookie backstage and tells her that she got the test results back. She and Andre are expecting a healthy baby boy. Cookie asks when she’s going to tell Andre and Teri puts it off until tomorrow, obviously not knowing she may not have that long. Finally, the episode winds down with Lucious and Andre eating Andre’s favorite meal at a hotel, just before Andre plans to end his life. Cookie walks into her house and comes across the note he wrote her telling her about his heart condition and why he didn’t want her to know. She remembered where he said he was staying and rushes over there. She makes it in time just before Andre is preparing to take some pills, as Lucious watches tearfully, and busts everything up. She starts spazzing out on Lucious for letting their son kill himself so they have a moment where they argue. Then Cookie Dre that Teri is pregnant and that this is worth fighting for but the shock of Cookie already affected him negatively and he starts to have a heart attack and we end with them calling 911. Yup, they’re still dragging this out. Meanwhile, we just want to see if there’s a plot twist where Andre lives, or nah. The season finally ends next week.

Kylie Jenner: Low-Rated Reality Show Renewed Due to Billionaire Status?

There are perks to being a billionaire that go well beyond having more money than you could ever spend in three lifetimes. For evidence of this, look no further than Elon Musk, who’s basically transforming into a cartoonish supervillain before our eyes, yet still has millions of fanboys hoping he’ll launch another car into space for fun. Fortunately, as far as we can tell, Kylie Jenner doesn’t have anything so nefarious as global domination on her agenda. But that might just be because she hasn’t officially joined the ultra-exclusive Billionaires Club … yet. As you may have heard Kylie covers the new issue of Forbes , and the magazine reports that at the rate her cosmetics brand is currently growing, the youngest Jenner sister will be worth a cool billion next year at the ripe old age of 21. That would make her the youngest “self-made” billionaire in history. (A lot of folks have taken issue with  Forbes  failure to address the fact that Kylie had a lot of help reaching that milestone, but that’s a conversation for another time.) Currently, Kylie’s makeup brand is worth about $800 billion and she’s raked in about $100 million from other ventures. Needless to say, everything’s coming up Kylie these days, and her astonishing financial interests have revived interest in Kylie’s life and career. Kylie disappeared from social media while she was pregnant with daughter Stormi but now she’s back and bigger than ever. And for obvious reasons, everyone wants to be in the Kylie Jenner business nowadays. You may have forgotten about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians spinoff entitled Life of Kylie that debuted on E! last year. We say because pretty no one watched the thing. The ratings for Kylie’s reality show were astonishingly low, and it was widely assumed that the series had been quietly canceled. But in the wake of Kylie’s astonishing personal and professional success, E! has reportedly decided to give the series a second chance. “The footage for the second season of Life of Kylie is all pretty much shot. It will follow her life after the birth of her daughter Stormi,” a source tells Radar Online. “Fans are really interested in seeing Kylie as a mom to Stormi, and they are also really interested in seeing how she made such a massive fortune in such a short period of time.” Yes, it seems that the public perception of Kylie has changed dramatically in recent weeks, and her reputation has enjoyed a major rebound. “She is now a role model to so many women out there who think they cannot raise a baby and have a successful career,” says the insider. The salary from starring and executive producing a second season might help Kylie to reach her new goal: Apparently, she wants to reach the billion-dollar mark before her 21st birthday next month. “Cameras will absolutely be filming for her celebration,” the source revealed. “Right now, Kylie is just determined to hit the billion-dollar mark in one month and she isn’t letting anything stand in her way.” Fans have jokingly set up GoFundMe pages in order to raise $100 million for Kylie, but we’re thinking hitting the mark in the next few weeks is a major long shot. Even so, we can’t think of a more worthy cause, so you should absolutely go to one of those pages and donate your entire life’s savings to Kylie.

Nina Agdals’ Bikini Fitness of the Day

Nina Agdal is a bikini model, who has done very little beyond being in Sports Illustrated, except maybe a lot of dudes with a lot of money for either a by the hour or per orgasm rate, but then again, she’s a “published model”, they usually like their hooking to feel more like “casual dating” and their rent being paid is just gifts from the billionaires they let cum on their faces… I am not a fan of Nina Agdal for a few reasons, the main one being she’s got this retard head or forehead that looks like it should be in a bike helmet at all times so that she doesn’t damage the little part of her brain that still works…you know like she’s got special needs and is doing this model thing due to a special work program or some affirmative action program where the media need to hire at least 1 retard per bikini magazine issue, 1/2 a black person, 3 fat chicks and a tranny to keep everyone happy… We live in a world that panders to the offended person, instead of telling the offended person to fuck off and to stop being such a pussy bitch, people control and craft content around the offended person so not to offend, even if they are being totally irrational in being offended – so we need representation of all people to avoid controversy…bullshit.. We also live in a world where being in a magazine, celebrated by a magazine, that doesn’t even pay you, can boost your ego into some terrible unappreciative, brat from Denmark where she should be sent back because she’s done here… But she’s got a nice tight body, not necessarily tight to penetrate, but tight due to fitness, since being fit is her one task she needs to maintain… I guess this is her bullshit fitness routine…for her social media that she can sell to advertisers because a bikini model doesn’t have much more to share of any substance beyond monetizing and objectifying their bodies / ass / tits / vagina via boyfriends… This is so basic and desperate…and you love it because I said you do.

Miranda Kerr for China to Get Billionaires of the Day

Miranda Kerr was fired from Victoria’s Secret for having sex with Justin Bieber….I had the exclusive thanks to her management hating her and talking shit on her a few weeks after it happened but it only came out over a year after it happened…I am so current… That said, Miranda Kerr was fired from Victoria’s Secret for having sex with Justin Bieber…while married and a mom of a kid she probably never sees because Miranda Kerr is Australian and Australians like to get drunk and be crazy…but that’s not very Mall Brand Sweatshop Made Overpriced Panties to Afford all those MALL LOCATIONS friendly… So she was left scared and alone, to fend for herself with a lot of money, a hot model body, while her husband ran off with a bunch of dudes, before settling with Katy Perry, while she ran off with a bunch of billionaires, forcing her to go out there and find new brand deals..and magazines to feature her, because billionaires don’t like gold digging hookers unless they are working or published in the media… Her current billionaire is the SNAPCHAT guy who created SNAPCHAT to get girls to send him NUDES with confidence..and who probably has image recognition software that sends every nude private snapchat across his network to his inbox….but there were other billionaires, two who even had a fist fight over her, one who is now with Mariah Carrey and the whole thing is so ridiculous, considering there are a million Miranda Kerrs out there to fuck…who are still working for the mall brands…just ask LEO… This is her doing media to stay relevant, her tits look bigger, her hips look bigger, and I think it’s probably her best work, other than trying to get knocked up with BILLIONAIRE baby, it’s the actual retirement plan, she just needs to time it so that the kid is born when the first one turns 15, so she maximizes child support into her 50s…all this other photoshoot shit is just nonsense… The post Miranda Kerr for China to Get Billionaires of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .

In Miranda Kerr’s school of landing a billionaire, like a billionaire escort, part of a billionaire escort agency, because she only fucks billionaires, there’s a reason for that, it’s called being a hooker, where she’s both the pimp and the whore. she’s taught us a few things… The first is that you need to get out of your relationship with some has been actor who is probably gay, you already got the press for that and the best way to do that is by fucking Bieber…he’s popular.. The second is to get fired from your million dollar contract with a lingerie company, because the billionaires you are trying to bed won’t want to pay your rent when they know you are out of work…but that you were once employed…by a high profiled brand….you know to help you get back on your feet…they just like that you had work and that you’re in a place of desperation that requires their help… The third is to pull in some sporadic campaigns, so that she doesn’t seen like a full mooch….

Subtle Maitland Ward of the Day

Maitland Ward makes me laugh. It’s girls like her that remind us what Hollywood is all about, because the people who actually make it or who did make it for a minute are not really the norm…and the industry is mainly girls who have had a taste of it, maybe a secondary roll in a movie or on TV or a web series at Funny Or Die….or maybe just the cum of a director or producer rolling down the back of their throats…or maybe just serving one of them as a waitress, or as a masseuse hired by a celebrity in the right circle…not the job you moved to LA for but the job you got when acting didn’t work out and your mom and dad cut you off…. It’s like the majority of girls in LA are Maitland Wards…just not quite as old, because at 40 she’s still doing the same tactics these young instagram girls are doing, in the most bootleg of way, and I find the whole movement absolutely fascinating…and for that I love her.. I mean, most 40 year olds aren’t posting weird nudes to their social media, but in LA…they are…because they are hoping it leads to work that leads to validating their fucking parking ticket that is their life.. I love it…even if it’s disgusting! The post Subtle Maitland Ward of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
