"Maria Akpotu has been a Registered Nurse for over 40 years and currently works at the Memphis Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center. While working at the facility, she started to research the trend of limb amputation in Veterans and found that, per the CDC, Veterans were four times more likely to have limb amputations than the general population. The risk was even higher for diabetic Veterans and those with mobility issues."

"Akpotu says she believed that Veterans needed an easy to use tool that allows them to check their extremities daily. In that effort, Akpotu started project Comprehensive Diabetic Footcare Bundle. The goal is to help Veterans detect early changes in their feet and extremities so that they can report those changes promptly to get treatment to prevent loss of limbs. The project is expected to reduce the care cost from diabetic foot complications and reduce the number of associated hospital visits."

Website: https://www.aprtmedia.com Muyinza Kasirye is Owner of APRT Media, Entrepreneur Musician + Artist. What's become crucial for any artist or brand at any level in 2020 is consistency. Our goal is to be able to not only write a song, do a photo shoot or produce video with you but to create a story and in turn an audience for what you do. With so much noise on the media landscape, in order for an artist or brand to carve out space, it's important that their fans and/or prospective fans be hearing and seeing them with some sort of consistency. Nowadays it's almost a must for an artist or brand to give fans a content driven narrative to follow. With Youtube, Instagram and Facebook video viewership taking over traditional television, as an artist and/or brand, you're essentially a TV channel. That being the case, you want your viewers to come to your channel and find something new as often as possible. That's what creates, solidifies and grows the connection between an artist or brand and its fans, audience and possible customers. We're here to aid in that process so you can stay focused on what is most important: your art and brand. We offer different levels of recording, photo, video and branding services depending upon your needs and can arrange and provide at all levels. Learn more about your ad choices.

Website: iloveblackpeople.com Washington, DC –I Love Black People (ILBP) is a Black tech startup that uses technology to build a global network to protect Black people from racism & xenophobia, especially while traveling and in new environments. ILBP provides safe places for Black people throughout the world by providing Black-owned and Black-friendly businesses. Our goal is to make sure that no matter where a Black person goes, they will be treated with dignity and respect. ILBP could not do what it does without the help of our worldwide network of people. Our people network is currently composed of 400 ambassadors and 40,000 members who have helped to promote and identify over 14,000 businesses throughout the world, spanning over 200 cities. With the launch of "The Global Green Book: A Black Survival Guide" comes an opportunity to globally build upon Victor Hugo Green's attempts to highlight venues — Black-owned or otherwise — where Black people can receive various services and accommodations with dignity and respect when traveling. In the months since its inception, ILBP have been able to pinpoint Black-owned and Black-friendly places on nearly every continent. Recent recommendations include hotel accommodations in Kitwe, Zambia, and a healthcare provider in California. "Living while Black" has become a phenomenon that highlights the harsh reality that Black people endure when they venture beyond their own communities. Instead of basking in the freedom that comes with expanding one's horizons, many Black travelers find that racism has no boundaries. "We won't settle for just being accepted," said Sinclair Skinner, founder of I Love Black People. "When we go somewhere, we should be treated amazingly. If we don't set that standard, no one will set it for us." "The Global Green Book and website is not about promoting businesses, but the love and humanity of Black people," Skinner said. "The information is powerful but we have to unlock it within each and every one of us. We have to make sure this decade is the last time Black people were disrespected and didn't know where to go." About I Love Black People: I Love Black People is an international Black tech startup that uses technology to help protect Black people from racism & xenophobia. Learn more about your ad choices.
