November 2, 2021 is just as important as November 4, 2020 was during the general elections when we voted for the President of the United States of America.

 

This election, we are focused on local, local, local, with a lot centered around boards of education.

 

November 2 - what’s on the ballot

Local Local Local

 

There are over 14,000 public school districts, with more than $500 billion spent on public elementary and secondary education each year.

 

School boards set the policies of the elementary, middle, and high schools with the understanding that their existence is based on the idea that local control of public education it more responsive to the needs of the local community.

 

In this episode of #NIMosaFriday’s with Gail, she covers some of the following:

1. How the board of education sets direction and goals for the district
2. Deal with finance and bond issues, class sizes, student curriculum, safety measures, teacher’s issues, and more to include,
   1. Sets the vision and goals for the district
   2. Adopts policies and setting priorities to achieve its goals
   3. Sets student performance standards
   4. Establishes school budgets
   5. Approves the school calendar
   6. Adopts curriculum
   7. Evaluates and/or hires the superintendent
   8. Selects transportation systems
   9. Approves contracts with outside vendors
   10. Manage collective bargaining for district employees
3. The board balances the business of running the district while establishing and monitoring its’ academic priorities.

 

The stakes are high these days with school board elections across the country. They even include PACS. If you have not already voted early for the November 2, 2021 elections, please take time to research the candidates and vote based upon your community, the teachers, but more importantly the students. Take partisan politics out of this and vote with education as the goal.

Let’s start here. Who or what is #NIMosaFriday’s? The NIM is from Gail’s digital broadcast News in Motion. The ‘Mosa’ comes from mimosa’s which is Gail’s favorite drink. Mike Nicholson, one of News in Motion’s regular viewers coined the name #NIMosaFriday’s. So, you may hear News in Motion throughout each Friday’s podcast with Gail and her guests.

 

Today, we are excited to have on the show Pastor Derrick Holmes. He is a father, activist, pastor, and a Faith Organizer for Amos, an arm of the OOC. He joins us today by putting before us, Why Go Vote?

 

Listen in as Pastor Holmes challenges us with…

 

1. Creating a habit of liberation
2. Understanding policy and platform
3. Asking the question, “Who’s driving?”
4. Recognizing the difference of power and performance.
5. Exercising your consistent posture of power.
6. Aligning your value
7. Accessing the resources

 

This podcast equips and positions us with what we need to go vote.

 

Plus, Pastor Holmes gives us two minutes of Bible Study talking about Esther and her people who were oppressed. “If I say something…I may lose something.”

 

Why go vote? Because we were afforded the space by the God of justice.

What is Domestic Violence?

Domestic violence can be physical, emotional, economic, psychological actions, or threats of actions that influence another person. This includes any behaviors that intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.*

 

Emotional Abuse:  Undermining an individual's

sense of self-worth and/or self-esteem is abusive. This may include, but is not limited to constant criticism, diminishing one's abilities, name-calling, or damaging one's relationship with his or her children

 

Man of the House focuses on the emotional abuse aspect of domestic violence.

 

Synopsis:

"Man Of The House" is a drama/comedy that revolves around one man's struggle to save his relationship and get his life on track, while the woman in his life runs their home, his life, and everything in it.  Domestic Violence with a twist, as the male is the victim as opposed to the abuser.   The comedy in the play never centers around the actual abuse, therefore audiences are being educated while being entertained.  The play features various up and coming artists from the NYC Tri-State area.  In addition to writer/producer/director, the leading male role of "James" is played by A’ndre.  He is an experienced actor, singer, and writer.

 

Although a comedy, "Man Of The House" touches on some very relevant issues. Domestic violence with a twist and the effects of unresolved generational issues, are some of the topics discussed in the piece.  The target audience is High School thru Senior Citizens.

 

This information was provided by the US Department of Justice Website: justice.gov

 

In 2010, the CDC conducted a national intimate partner survey, and found that over 40% of Domestic abuse cases involved the man being the victim.

 

Meet A’ndre Davis, writer, producer, and director of the stage play Man of The House. In addition to writer/producer/director, the leading male role of "James" is played by A’ndre.  His experience as a singer includes opening for some of the best in today's R&B music including Jaheim, Tamia, Tank, Joe, Avant, Brian Mcknight, Anthony Hamilton, Patti Labelle, and Wendy Williams to name a few.  Theater credits include "Dreamgirls", "After The Walk" featuring grammy nominated artist Kelly Price, and "Underneath It All" featuring Stellar Award Winner Kierra Sheard.  A'ndre is also an alumni of Kean University.

It’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Nawanda is sharing her story.

 

Nawanda Turner wears many hats. She is a health care IT contractor, focused entrepreneur and as of late an inspirational encourager to those who are starting their wellness journey. She is also the mother to her two adult children, Cymone Allyssa (25), Carl Anthony III (23) and YaYa to her baby granddaughter Anaya Yvette.        

 

In 2016 Nawanda left her full-time corporate healthcare and went into consulting to offer her services to assist healthcare organizations implementing electronic medical records systems. It was also at this time that her life drastically changed because she found the strength to remove herself from an abusive marriage of over 20 years. Her journey had been up and down,but she embraces all the changes and knows she’ll be better in the end.

 

Listen in as Nawanda shares her story. Have your tissues close by because you will need them.

Ready to go but don’t know where to go or how to go about starting your journey?

Many of us find ourselves in this situation. We have an idea of what we want to do, and we get excited about all the possibilities, yet beyond the anticipation of what’s next, we often get lost in all the how-to’s and trying to figure out how things will get paid.

 

Meet Dr. Greta Oliver, the author of College Roadmap. Her book hit Amazon’s Best Seller Lists at its debut in August 2021, which is why we had her shared during the News in Motion broadcast and here on #NIMosaFriday’s. Dr. Oliver’s book outlines a step-by-step process to assist students and their parents and guardians on the journey of becoming college students without all of the stress and anxiety that many find themselves dealing with time and time again.

 

On this podcast, Dr. Oliver will take us through answering some tough questions after she boldly suggests that everyone does not have to go to college. What a relief! Then she challenges us by having us answer, “What’s your why?” for attending college, university, which college, subject, costs, and so much more. She informs the listeners not to ignore the possibility of attending a community college. Just listen to the podcast. There’s so much to unpack including, financial aid, grants, scholarship, and yes, those dreaded loans.

 

After listening to this podcast, if you have questions feel free to reach out to Dr. Oliver. Visit her website https://www.gretaoliverconsulting.com/ to learn more about her and to schedule a coaching appointment.

It all starts with this question. "From my experience, when I am in debt, I feel trapped, captive, enslaved...there are times I lose sleep and cannot breathe. What steps can we take to free ourselves from the bondage of debt so we can begin to live a life of freedom?"   Dr. Kim Carter says, "My Credit Score was in the 500 some years ago and stayed in the mid 600’s until last year." She continues to talk about how she went from a credit score in the 600's to 800's in a little over six months.   Are you struggling to raise your credit scores? Have you been on a roller coaster ride with your credit? Take a listen to Dr. Kim, a certified Dave Ramsey, Master Money Manager, as she gives us solid steps to take.   “Being Fired Up For Faithful Financial Freedom Increased My Credit Score From 640 to 807 in Less Than 12 Months Through Prayer, Patience, & Persistence! I’m a certified financial coach and have shared content on financial management for many years and have been debt-free multiple times yet found myself again in debt, and this time I promised God, it would be my last. I no longer wanted to live hypocritically by helping so many others get out of debt yet being in and out of it myself, so I got very serious and committed to Prayer, Patience, and Perseverance to be no longer debt bound. Debt occurs for so many reasons and in so many ways and sometimes for so many others, yet that was no excuse for what I ultimately knew was my responsibility, and this is where my story of debt freedom ‘for real this time’ began.”   To contact Dr. Kim Carter, email her at [email protected]   Join the News in Motion Patreon and get in on the 30-minute private Zoom session with Dr. Kim on Thursday, September 23, 2021 at noon.
