Dr.Boyce D Watkins’ Post

Marcus Garvey, a pioneer of black empowerment and economic independence, emphasized the importance of self-reliance and economic solidarity.  He believed that true freedom and progress for black communities could only be achieved through economic self-sufficiency and the development of black-owned businesses.  Garvey’s vision of a united black economy laid the groundwork for future generations to build wealth and create opportunities within their own communities.  His legacy continues to inspire black entrepreneurs and economic development initiatives around the world.  Visit www.zbrandingbusiness.com for a consultation or more free business tips.  #BlackEconomics #MarcusGarvey #EconomicEmpowerment #zbranding

BALLISTIC BALLERS CIC is another incredible organisation we’re especially proud to spotlight this Black History Month, as they truly embody the theme of Reclaiming Narratives. BALLISTIC BALLERS CIC empowers young Black boys across London to take control of their futures, bridging the gap between football and life skills to build confidence, resilience, and independence. BALLISTIC BALLERS CIC is redefining what it means to be successful both on and off the field. By combining football with critical life skills like money management and financial literacy, they are addressing a crucial gap that many young players face preparing for life beyond the game. Through their programmes, BALLISTIC BALLERS CIC enables young people not only to excel in football but to build resilience and independence that extends into every area of life. Their mission aligns beautifully with Reclaiming Narratives, a call to action for Black communities to seize ownership of our stories and take pride in our legacy. For too long, our histories have been told by others, often leaving out the richness and depth of our experiences. BALLISTIC BALLERS CIC is changing that by creating spaces where young people can envision their futures, connect with mentors, and cultivate their unique stories. As Black History Month draws to a close, let’s keep the momentum going. BALLISTIC BALLERS CIC work reminds us that reclaiming our narrative is an ongoing journey. #ReclaimingNarratives| #EmpowerOurYouth| #FinancialLiteracyMatters| #BeyondThePitch| #BuildingFutures| #InspiringChange| #BallisticBallers| #GameChanger| #SportsForChange #OwnYourStory #YouthMentorship

Congrats Jason Tatum for your well deserved victories! In taking a closer a look at how culture makes profits for NBA2K , the data shows that 95% of the video game value comes from exploiting Black creativity, likeness & influence. (Kellogg Brand Report 2023) It’s not OK to exploit Black Athletes without reinvesting in Black communities. We call forward Take-Two Interactive, National Basketball Association (NBA) and THINK450 to ethical trade. Join the movement to change how the world participates with Black Culture. https://lnkd.in/grivzfwc #EthicalTrade #GetMADE Note: CALL FORWARD is an invitation to fix unacceptable behavior causing harm with a sustainable solution benefiting people, planet & profits.
