In honor of hunger and youth homelessness month, Talk Black & Give Back sleeps out in solidarity and an attempt to raise awareness and funds for our Community Housing Project.

Let's see if you all get this Halloween podcast!

Happy Halloween and Happy Voting!

I hope you all remember to vote! Early voting ends on Saturday, November 2, 2024. First and foremost, our non-profit does not promote any candidate(s). However, we do promote education and empowerment. Let us honor and remember the memory of those who fought and died for our right to vote, including Medgar Evers, Jimmie Lee Jackson, Jonathan Myrick Daniels, Henry Hezekiah "Hank" Smith, Lamar Smith, and countless others whose names may not be as well-known. Please honor their legacy by voting and encouraging others to do the same, no matter who you vote for. Not to preach but to teach..., the Bible emphasizes the importance of actions aligning with God's Word not just intentions. While good intentions are valued, they must be followed up by righteous actions.

1 John 3:18: "Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth."

Vote for the individual(s) whose actions honor God's Word and reflect His character. The world will be a better place for it and our children will appreciate it!

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and remembrance of my mother, Shelia Nickerson, and my auntie, Ruth Hazel (aka Aunt Addie), I want to discuss with you all, the importance of scheduling an annual mammogram.

If you have not scheduled a mammogram this year (or ever) please, contact your healthcare provider to schedule an appointment immediately!

Breast cancer is a serious health issue that affects people of all races and ethnicities. However, it's important to acknowledge that this disease disproportionately impacts Black Americans. This disparity can be attributed to several factors, including limited access to quality healthcare, genetic predisposition, and cultural factors that may delay diagnosis or treatment.

To combat this inequality, we must prioritize early detection, access to affordable treatment, and ongoing research focused on understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by Black Americans. By raising awareness and taking action, we can work towards a future where everyone has an equal opportunity to not only survive breast cancer but thrive!

I hope this little segment helps raise awareness and drive change. Again, please take the time to schedule your mammogram today!

Hi everyone, Jennifer Nickerson Turner here! Today, I'm joined by Melvin Seiner, a financial expert passionate about helping people achieve financial freedom.

Many of us, like my son who said, "Mom, all I can do is go to work," believe wealth comes solely from a traditional job. But there's more to the story! Building a strong financial foundation, your "financial toolhouse," involves various tools.

We'll discuss creating budgets, emergency funds, and debt management plans. Melvin will also share his insights on these tools and other strategies for success.

We understand the importance of financial education. That's why we're offering free resources, including educational tips and Q&A sessions (virtual or in-person, depending on interest).

If you're interested in learning more or have a question about one of the strategies discussed tonight, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] . You can also contact Melvin directly at [email protected] to schedule a free session.

Remember, building wealth takes time and consistency. Let's work together to build a brighter financial future!

Donate so we can begin building generational wealth by home ownership. We have licensed plumbers, electricians, Masons, and heating and air conditioning installers. We still need Black general contractors, roofers, framers, and more Black bodies looking to learn a trade.

This is a discussion with Jackie Vanhook, founder of Mayneline Resources in Burlington, NC. In this video we discussed how collaborating and networking are key to the success of the Black Community collectively.

In part of Juneteenth we challenge everyone that is part of network to donate to Talk Black & Give Back
