HEALTH Give thanks for good health by donating blood this holiday season

EEOC LAUNCHES ONLINE SERVICES FOR INQUIRIES, APPOINTMENTS AND DISCRIMINATION CHARGES The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has launched an EEOC Public Portal to provide online access to individuals inquiring about discrimination.

“This secure online system makes the EEOC and an individual’s charge information available wherever and whenever it is most convenient for that individual,” said EEOC Acting Chair Victoria A. Lipnic. “It’s a giant leap forward for the EEOC in providing online services.”

The EEOC Public Portal allows individuals to submit online initial inquiries and requests for intake interviews with the agency. Initial inquiries and intake interviews are typically the first steps for individuals seeking to file a charge of discrimination with EEOC. In fiscal year 2017, the EEOC responded to over 550,000 calls to the toll-free number and more than 140,600 inquiries in field offices, reflecting the significant public demand for EEOC’s services.

The American Red Cross is encouraging people to share their good health this holiday season by donating blood for patients in need.

Mike Healey’s son was born prematurely, weighing 3 pounds, and immediately needed blood. “I gave blood the next day and have done it 56 times since then,” he said. Though Healey’s son spent his rst 49 days of life in the neonatal intensive care unit, he has thrived and is now a healthy, 10-year-old little league baseball player.

“I will never forget whoever sel essly gave blood for my son.”

A decline in donations occurs from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day when donors are busy with holiday activities and travel. However, patients don’t get a holiday break from needing lifesaving transfusions. In fact, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.

The Red. Cross is encouraging members of the public to make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood. org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

Mariano’s Bronzeville, located at 3857 S Martin Luther King Dr., recently celebrated its one-year anniversary with residents and partnering vendors throughout the city of Chicago.

The celebration included a dozen vendors like Margie’s, Earth O’ Sweet Peanut Butter, Mama Jo’s [Pasta Sauce] and Bee Love.

Amanda Puck, director of Strategic Brand Development at Mariano’s Bronzeville said, “This was a great way to celebrate our anniversary with local partners and vendors and really make it fun for customers.”

She added, “For us, we’re really about helping our community whether it’s giving back to fight hunger or helping local vendors.”

Wilbur S. Reneau, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Margie’s said, his 15-year nationally-known business has a unique flavor that no one currently sells.

“We have strawberry-banana syrup and banana syrup, which is unheard of,” Reneau said. “We have all natural gluten-free, marinade salad dressings with mango garlic and pineapple passion fruit.”

He said it was great to share his Margie’s product with community residents and Reneau shared that young entrepreneurs should find their passion and be determined to not let anyone tell them what they can or can’t do in life.

Jesus Judah, manager of Earth O’ Sweet Peanut Butter, said the local business supports Illinois and Wisconsin communities by making natural, highquality peanuts with no chemicals.

“Our biggest target is to empower and bring employment to the youth,” Judah said. “As a partner with Mariano’s and a local brand, we wanted to come and support the efforts within community.”

Jonathan Jenkins, manager of Mama Jo’s [Pasta Sauce] is also a Food Broker who works with food manufactures on getting their product in food stores and meeting stores’ qualifications said, “You have to have a product that the store feels will sell and that people will want,” Jenkins said, “You want your product to taste good and have quality benefits to it. If it’s a healthy product and it tastes great along with great packaging and you have the right numbers for producing your product, then you have the ingredients to present to the stores.”

He noted that the grocery store market is very competitive because more than 1,000 products are reviewed yearly.

“It’s very competitive so you must have all of your details, research and funding in order,” Jenkins said. “But most of it takes a lot of hard work and if you have a good product then you have a chance to make it.”

Odyssey Media’s IN THE BLACK Tour Offers Free Admission To Houston Small Business Owners And Aspiring Entrepreneurs Post Hurricane Harvey

Over 150 women will attend the IN THE BLACK Houston event on Nov. 10 for free, thanks to the generosity of The Coca-Cola Company’s 5by20 program, developed to enable the economic empowerment of 5 million women entrepreneurs worldwide by 2020.

“We know that women are the pillars of our communities. We strongly believe in investing in women to foster economic growth and sustainable development,” said Lori George Billingsley, Vice President of Community Connections at The Coca-Cola Company. “We are proud to support women entrepreneurs by partnering with Odyssey Media’s In The Black Tour, a program that empowers women to build businesses, support their families and shape their communities.”

In a Sept. 2, Business Insider article, Houston business owners expressed that their small businesses, which make up 99% of Houston’s companies, face a long road of restoration after Hurricane Harvey. According to the article, many lack large cash revenues and are suffering from having to shut down temporarily or permanently due to extensive damages.

Linda Spradley Dunn, CEO and Founder of Odyssey Media is quoted saying, “Harvey has been especially difficult for Black and Latina small business owners and it has discouraged many who wanted to start a business. Our sisters need us, and we’ll be there! We will customize the program and focus on where women can get immediate help, as well as how other Odyssey Women around the world can pitch in.”

Small Business Opportunities Discussed

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

Congressman Bobby L. Rush (D-IL 1st District) along with Robert Steiner, District Director of Small Business Administration (SBA) and Miriam L. Brewer, Senior Director of Diversity for International Franchise Association (IFA) hosted a recent Franchise Business Opportunity Fair and discussed franchise opportunities for Black entrepreneurs.

According to IFA, there are over 1,000 franchises in Rush’s District that support 24,000 jobs, accumulate $584 million in payroll and spur $2 billion in economic activity.

During the fair, Rush highlighted that a recent report showed by 2020, there will be a 64 percent national increase in business growth, but a major decline amongst Black owned businesses.

“This is startling for our nation,” Rush said, adding, a significant decline like that amongst Black-owned business should be declared a “national emergency.”

“The statistic is just a forecast, not a conclusion,” Rush added. “You are the conclusion. You can change the outcome and the prediction.”

Robert Steiner, District Director of the Small Business Administration (SBA) in Illinois, which is an independent agency that supports small businesses and entrepreneurs, said at least 50 percent of small businesses fail within the first two

years, but SBA helps facilitate many successful franchises.

Steiner said, “it’s not like you have to have a million dollars to buy a franchise,” but you must have SBA’s three C’s which are access to Capital, Small Business Counseling and Government Contracting.

He continued to explain that when starting a franchise, you must have a business plan, know what industry is best for you and understand the market.

Steiner said SBA supports a network of resource partners who provide one-on-one small business counseling and advising to entrepreneurs and small business owners at no-cost.

“They will walk you through a process that helps you go from ideation of starting a franchise to narrowing your field to the best fit and [location],” Steiner said. “So, you may come in and say, “This is what I’m going to do,’ and the next time you come in, they will ask you, ‘Okay, did you make the step?’”

During the fair, Steiner highlighted that SBA also works with several lending partners like the Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives which helps facilitate access to capital within local communities.

“There is an entire range of financing such as micro-loans up to $50,000 with the Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives and $250,000 loans for small businesses, funded by local non-profit institutions and guaranteed by SBA,” Steiner said.

Third Annual Green Beauty Barometer Shows High Demand for All-Natural Options

Kari Gran, an eco-luxe skin care company, recently announced the results of its third annual Green Beauty Barometer. The results once again indicate a growing demand for natural beauty products among American women, with more than three in five (61%) reading ingredient labels on beauty products prior to purchase (compared to 55% last year). In addition, 37% of women will buy more natural products* in the next two years than they currently do, slightly up from 2016 results (35%). Visit karigran.com/greenbeauty for full survey results.

The third annual Green Beauty Barometer survey was commissioned by Kari Gran and conducted online by Harris Poll on the company’s behalf in September 2017. The survey was among more than 1,000 U.S. women aged 18 and up. It measured attitudes and purchase behaviors across several beauty product categories, including: skin care; hair care; makeup; sunscreen; fragrance and nail care.

Key Findings Sulfates, Parabens Most Avoided Chemicals: For the third year running, sulfates is the number one ingredient women will avoid when purchasing beauty products, with 31% claiming if this was listed on a product label, it would prevent them from purchasing that beauty product. This is followed by: parabens (23%); synthetic fragrance (18%); oxybenzone (14%); PEG compounds (12%); mineral oil (11%); nanoparticles (11%) and retinyl palmitate (10%).

More Spending Across All Product Categories: Across all beauty categories,* the total percentage of women who will only purchase or intend to purchase more natural products in the next two years, compared to what they currently do, scored in the double digits. Skin care led the pack with 26% of women saying they will increase the amount of natural skin care products they purchase and 12% saying they will only purchase natural skin products in the next two years. This is followed by hair care (21% and 10%), then makeup (21% and 9%), sunscreen (18% and 8%), nail care (15% and 6%) and fragrance (13% and 6%). When it comes to age, Millennial women (aged 18-34) are more likely than older women (ages 35+) to plan to only purchase or increase their natural beauty product purchases (65% vs. 37%). Geographically, 54% of women living in the West intend to

only purchase or purchase more natural beauty products in the next two years than they currently do, while 46% in the South, 38% in the Midwest and 40% in the Northeast say the same.

Green Skin Care, Hair Care and Makeup in Highest Demand: Women again felt the strongest about their skin care purchases being green, as compared to other beauty product categories.* Among women who use products in the listed categories, three in five (60%) say choosing all-natural skin care products is important to them, followed by hair care at 53%, and makeup and sunscreen at 50% each. Rounding out the categories is fragrance at 44% and nail care at 40%, with each up 4 percentage points from last year.

Women 35-54 Increasingly Embracing Green Beauty: While 75% of Millennial women said purchasing green beauty products is important to them, this year’s data show women in their mid-thirties to mid-fifties are increasingly placing importance on purchasing all-natural beauty products. Sixty-nine percent of women aged 35-44 say purchasing all-natural beauty products is important to them, an increase of 10 percentage points from 2016. Women 45-54 came in at 68%, an 11 percentage point increase over last year.

Western U.S. Women Are Seeing Green: Women living in the Western U.S. are creating a demand for green beauty, with 73% in the West stating that purchasing all-natural beauty products is important to them. More than three in five women in the South and Northeast agree (67% and 63%, respectively), while just 56% of women in the Midwest say the same.

Retailers Haven’t Closed Demand Gap: While most women seem to be satisfied by the selection of natural beauty products available at retailers—including their related online sites, where they shop for each category of beauty products—there is still work to be done to meet the demand. This year, 16% of women are unsatisfied by the all-natural beauty selection available at specialty drugstores and grocery stores. This dissatisfaction is closely followed by department stores (15%), mass market drugstores and grocery stores (12%), and specialty cosmetic stores (10%).

“As a company, we’ve seen the growth in demand for green beauty products firsthand,” said Lisa Strain, co-founder of Kari Gran, a line of skin

Is your wardrobe ready for this holiday season’s festivities?

the other family members that might also use some of those accounts.”

But there’s no need to trade security for the convenience of digital access. With a password manager designed for individual or family use, you can create those strong passwords for all the accounts you and your family use, and store them within a secure vault that’s accessed by a single master password only you know. These digital lockboxes protect your information under multiple layers of security, making it impossible for digital thieves to hack and access.

If you’re debating whether to make the switch to a digital password manager, here’s a few ways it can improve your family’s online security and help stop the struggle with passwords.

Create rock-solid passwords: Most password managers offer a secure password generator that allows you to set and create a long, strong and unique password for every online account. You can create a password up to 100 characters long, including numbers and symbols. Another way to do it is by using the “passphrase” approach, meaning string together

words that create a phrase. Be sure to steer clear of birthdays, anniversaries, street names and other specific personal details that can be found through a simple social media search.

Secure more than just passwords: There’s an endless number of passwords and sensitive information you can store in your password manager, including banking logins, passport and license numbers, shopping accounts, email and social media passwords and more. By storing all of this information in your secure vault, you’ll always have access to the information whenever and wherever you may need it.

Safely share passwords with family members: One benefit of a password manager that’s designed for family use is that it lets you safely and conveniently store passwords and valuable documents in folders for flexible sharing with others in the family. LastPass Families includes unlimited shared folders, which means you can create multiple folders and store an endless number of passwords and share with those in your family. For example, you could put your banking account password into one folder and share access with your spouse, have another folder for your favorite streaming services and securely share access with the whole family. All the while, you can keep your personal accounts private.

Use it as a teaching moment: Have a talk with your kids about how passwords are the keys to our digital lives, and how good password habits help protect everything from personal details to finances. Show them how to build a good password, and how tools like a password manager can create a safe way to access and share accounts. It’s an important life skill that will help them protect themselves for years to come.

Plan for the digital afterlife: When there’s a death or serious emergency, it turns out that state and federal laws, along with service agreements, can block your family from getting access to your online accounts. With a password manager that allows emergency access, family members can get into your password vault and have access to whatever they need.

Spice Up Your Wardrobe for Holiday Festivities (NewsUSA) - Sure, the little black dress is a staple of holiday parties. It can be dressed up or down, and it is the epitome of understated elegance. But it’s not the only option for fashionable women.

“This is the time of year that women can put some fun in their wardrobe,” says Elliot Staples, whose fashion designs are featured at The Limited stores and thelimited.com. “It’s as much a celebration of decorating yourself as well as celebrating the holidays.”

(BPT) - We all know hiding your house key under the doormat is a terrible idea, but we do it anyway because it’s a convenient backup. When it comes to safeguarding passwords, especially in a family setting, people often choose convenience over safety.

As families manage their digital information and online accounts, many end up opting for that less secure key-under-the-doormat solution. People are already sharing passwords, and their methods of sharing are not always the best. Some 41 percent of adults with online accounts admit to sharing passwords with friends and family, according to an Americans and Cybersecurity survey by Pew Research Center. Yet, 90.8 percent of respondents say they know that having strong passwords helps them better protect their families.

Consider the number of security breaches that continue to make national news: * In 2016, we learned the Yahoo data breach compromised 1 billion accounts. * In that same month, we learned 167 million email addresses and passwords were stolen from LinkedIn. * In September 2017, a security breach at Equifax was reported, exposing Social Security numbers and other personal data of 143 million users, which is nearly half the U.S. population.

Now more than ever, it’s clear how important it is to protect our personal information online. According to a Verizon 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report, 81 percent of data breaches involve weak, reused or stolen credentials.

That’s significantly higher than the 63 percent it was in 2016.

“If you were to dig into the reasons behind these repeated, overly simple, shared passwords, it’s actually pretty understandable as to how this happens,” according to LastPass Senior Director of Product, Steve Schult. “The average person has some 200-plus logins. If you were to give each its own strong, unique password, that’s way too many for one person to keep track of and remember, let alone all

It’s also the time of year that many women need an outfit to play double duty by going from the office to a party.

Here’s the fashion forecast for the upcoming holiday season. * Fancy That. Focus on black and white trousers and pieces worn in sharp contrast to one another. A soft blouse tones down what could be a too-severe look. This style works well for a dinner party, work event, or an upscale occasion. * Going Baroque. Wear jewel tones in luscious greens and cobalt blues and

jet black. This trend reflects a sexier, more youthful look for going out -- be it with the girls, a party, or a more casual event.

This style is as easy as a special top with black jeans. Gold is a key accent color in printing, buttons, and accessories. To round out the look, pair with a clutch adorned with fabric or touches of sequins. * Skyes the Limit. Sweaters and yarns take on a slightly rustic and darker mood and color this season. Pair them with simple skinny jeans, furry accents, and fringe inspired boho necklaces.

CuriPow Offers New Social Network for African Americans With Empowering Historical Data

Uber producer Oak Felder and his team The Orphanage (Trevor Brown & Zaire Koalo) celebrate a #1 hit on the pop charts today with Demi Lovato’s “Sorry Not Sorry.” The single is one of five songs that Oak has crafted for the chart topping artist (including “Daddy Issues,” “Games,” “Only Forever” and Lovato’s new single “Sexy Dirty Love,”) with the #1 “Sorry Not Sorry” co-written and produced by Oak and his team in Los Angeles.

Oak Felder & The Orphanage In The Studio With Demi Lovato https://www.instagram.com/p/ BaZsyQiBcb8/ “Sorry Not Sorry” is not the first #1 for Felder in recent times.

“Oak continues to be one of the most in demand urban pop producers.

With well over a decade perfecting his craft he is putting hit records on both new talent and big established franchise names…and he is just getting started.”

WASHINGTON-- The social media world is about to have a new player in the field with a twist! In an already crowded space, CuriPow will differentiate itself by providing its users with something more. Included in every user profile is historical information on African Americans ranging from the early 1700’s up to current events.

The service has a forum called “What Chu Talkin Bout” where a topic of the day is presented, for example: “How Can White People Stop White Supremacy?” It allows for spirited discussions, debates and engaging conversations each day. In CuriPow Shorts, users can read four quick snippets on African Americans daily that have made contributions or significant changes in history.

The African American community has been looking for a social network to call their own. Most African American social media users are familiar with Black Twitter, Black Instagram and even Black Reddit. It clearly shows that there is a need and CuriPow plans to fill that void not by only providing a platform for African Americans to have a voice but also to provide them with empowering information on their history to share with friends and family. The company plans to expand into other ethnicities in the near future.

Founded by Brian Galvin, a former U.S. Marine and Washington DC resident, who has worked in the real estate industry for over a decade. He has dabbled in the tech sector with a few projects and is now looking to take a full plunge into a space where there are not that many African Americans.

About CuriPow The inspiration for CuriPow came about from Brian’s childhood. As an avid comic book reader, his mother gave him some comics on Crispus Attucks, Benjamin Banneker and Frederick Douglas that forever changed his perspective on life. Discover more information at #CuriosityEmpowered.

6 tips to help keep your drive distraction-free (BPT) - As you drive down the street, the threat of potential distractions is everywhere. Federal research shows that distracted driving is a factor in one out of every six crashes, and accounts for 5,000 automobile crash-related fatalities each year.

While teens are commonly associated with distracted-driving issues - particularly texting the issue affects drivers of all ages. To help reduce distracted driving crash-related injuries, and loss of life, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Auto Alliance) offer these tips to help drivers keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. * Gear up before you go out. Whether it’s your sunglasses, your Bluetooth(R) earpiece or your favorite hat, putting accessories on before starting your car allows you to keep your hands on the wheel, and not your wardrobe while driving. * Stop for a bite. A quick bite for lunch should be enjoyed in a restaurant, or your non-moving vehicle, instead of on the go while you’re driving.

This allows you to take a break, enjoy your food and not worry about spilling beverages on yourself. * Don’t be afraid to pull over. If another matter begs your attention - such as settling a disagreement between your children - pull the car over to handle the situation properly rather than trying to attend to it while you are driving. * Have a plan in place. Sometimes this is easier said than done. However, if you are traveling somewhere for the first time, you should understand your route before starting the drive. Program your GPS, or share printed directions with your navigator before you depart. * Call them back. Cell phone usage is one of the leading causes of distracted driving-related crashes

and not all of them are related solely to texting. If your phone rings while you’re in the car and you do not have a hands-free headset already on, let the caller go to voicemail. You can always call them back when you arrive at your destination or your next stop. * If you don’t need it, store it. Sporting equipment, kids’ toys or groceries, your car is the transport home for many things and sometimes those items can jostle back and forth while you’re driving - particularly on those sharp turns. And when things start moving, your natural reaction is to take your

eyes off the road and reach for them. Instead, secure items in the trunk or in another storage compartment before the drive.

Keeping your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel is one of the most important things you do every single day you choose to drive so be sure to apply the tips above and make driving your No. 1 priority. Your loved ones and those you share the road with will thank you for it. For even more helpful tips and strategies to minimize driving distractions, visit www.decidetodrive.org.

EVENT OF THE WEEK

Annual Black Walnut Harvest The Annual Black Walnut Harvest has erupted with strong success. As of October 30, 2017, roughly 20 million pounds of Black Walnuts have been collected out of an estimated 25-30 million pound season. Demand remains high as Black Walnuts provide a substantial economic benefit for communities across the Midwest and continues to serve as an important, generational tradition for families alike.

Every year, people across the Midwest band together to continue the natural-born tradition of collecting fallen Black Walnuts and selling them to Hammons Hulling Stations. People have reported participating in the harvest for a number of reasons apart from the financial benefits. Good exercise, valuable lessons to children on hard work and great family memories all top the list.

However, the harvest is also vital to local economies across all 14 states, as an estimated 5–6 million dollars will be poured back into the local communities. The harvest has become essential for providing additional income for both the families harvesting and the hullers themselves.

The 2017 harvest ends November 6, 2017 and individuals, families and organizations alike are encouraged to participate while nuts are still on the ground.

As prices remain at an all time high of $15 per 100lbs after hulling across 14 states and 235+ hulling stations, it’s a great way to earn extra money by just picking up a natural resource.

For information on how to get involved in the harvest, visit http://www.black-walnuts. com to learn more and to find a hulling station near you.

(BPT) - The alarm beeps as you gaze out the window at the soft sunlight welcoming the day. You roll out of bed and your stomach grumbles. You stumble to the kitchen to see how you can tame the hunger pangs, ultimately reaching for a doughnut or prepackaged breakfast bar.

While this may satisfy momentarily, it won’t fuel you through the morning. As your blood sugar spikes, you’ll feel a short burst of energy followed by a midmorning crash that leaves you exhausted and hungry.

You need to kick the quick fix and instead choose a better breakfast.

When you eat a wholesome meal to start your day, you give your body and mind the fuel it needs all morning long. Whether at home or on-the-go, eating well during the most important meal of the day is easier than many people think. Here are a few tips to keep you satisfied: Plenty of protein: Protein helps you feel full longer so you’re less likely to need a mid-morning pick-me-up. Plus, protein is an important building block for the body, helping support bones, muscles, cartilage, skin and blood. Try adding protein-packed foods to your breakfast, such as meat, beans, nut butters and eggs.

Necessary nutrients: According to Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner, eggs are a classic breakfast food, but there’s one easy change that can supercharge any meal.

“Swapping out ordinary eggs for Eggland’s Best eggs, gets you six times more vitamin D, 10 times more vitamin E, double the omega-3s and more than double the vitamin B12,” says Blatner. “Plus, Eggland’s Best eggs also contain 25 percent less saturated fat than ordinary eggs - that’s why they are the only eggs I serve my family and recommend to my clients.”

Fresh produce: Adding fresh fruits and vegetables to breakfast not only gives you extra vitamins and minerals, it also helps you keep meals fresh and interesting. Add lettuce and sliced peppers to your egg sandwich. Top your oatmeal with chopped peaches or favorite seasonal fruit.

Become a mix-master by blending smoothies in endless combinations to satisfy taste buds.

Whole grains: Like protein, whole grains help you to feel satisfied longer, so you don’t feel the need to eat until lunchtime. In general, most people need to eat about 6-8 ounces of grains daily, according to the USDA. Half of that should be whole grains. To boost your breakfast, choose

whole-grain cereals, stuff a whole-grain tortilla with scrambled eggs, or top whole-grain toast with nut butters.

Want some more breakfast inspiration? Try this recipe straight off the Eggland’s Best Better Egg Food Truck for Anytime Egg Nachos, which features fresh vegetables plus protein-rich beans and nutrient-packed Eggland’s Best eggs.

New program helps former offenders become entrepreneurs

H T T E I G DW

CHICAGO— Gov. Bruce Rauner is announcing a new, innovative program to help formerly incarcerated men and women start their own businesses.

The Pathway to Enterprise for Returning Citizens (PERC) program is the first of its kind in Illinois. In its pilot phase, the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) will screen candidates and select 125 people who are returning to communities on the south and west sides of Chicago. When they go home, they will receive in-depth training and coaching on how to run a business. This program will give them the opportunity to spur economic development and create jobs in the same communities in which they live.

“One of my most important goals since taking office has been to fix our broken criminal justice system and give people a real chance at success when they are released from prison,” Rauner said.

“This program not only allows us to create jobs in underserved communities, it also drives down the recidivism rate and sets families on the right course.”

The program highlights Rauner’s commitment to equip incarcerated men and women with the tools they need to make a smoother transition back to the community.

the PERC program,” said ICJIA Executive Director John Maki. “We will be measuring its effectiveness so that the leadership team can make sure it’s working to improve public safety outcomes.”

PERC is created through a public-private partnership between the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA), IDOC, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and the Chicago Neighborhood Initiative Micro Finance Group (CNIMFG), which will underwrite loans for the start-up capital.

“This program leverages the resources of three state agencies and a nonprofit,” said Randy Kurtz, deputy director at ICJIA. “It is testimony to what can be done when organizations work together.”

“We’re excited and honored to be part of this program,” said Erica King, vice president at the CNIMFG. “It will empower retuning citizens to create opportunities for others to follow, which tracks closely our CNIMFG mission.”

More than $1 million was raised from private-sector foundations, including Citibank Foundation, The Chicago Community Trust, the Perry Family Foundation, US Bank and the Hughes Foundation, to get the program off the ground.

Earlier this year, he also initiated a five-year pilot program that provides them with training on how to prepare a budget, write a business plan, set realistic goals, and build interpersonal relationship skills. The governor also has created a pathway for former offenders to get a state ID, access to their birth certificates, and professional licenses in healthcare fields and cosmetology.

The Illinois prison population is down 12 percent since Rauner took office in 2015.

“We are laser focused on improving outcomes for the men and women who leave our custody,” said IDOC Director John Baldwin. “Many of them have entrepreneurial minds and this program is just what they need to hone their skills and build a better life for themselves.”

Training services for the PERC program will be provided by The Safer Foundation of Illinois, Bethel New Life in the Austin neighborhood, Chatham Business Association, North Lawndale Employment Network, and Sunshine Enterprises, based in Woodlawn. Those who complete the program successfully will be positioned to receive a privately funded loan of up to $50,000 to launch their businesses.

The Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority (ICJIA) will monitor the program.

Inspirations

from Rev. Dr. Derrick B. Wells,

Senior Minister of Christ Universal Temple

OUR LIVES ARE DESIGNED BY THE DECISIONS THAT WE MAKE The power to make decisions is an incredible tool and this is a good thing.

With this tool, we can reconfigure our life, repair our families, rebuild our communities, and reconstruct our self-determination. When we make decisions that are in alignment with where we say we want to go, those decisions become the power that drives us forward and propels us toward the destination to which we have set our intention. When making decisions, it is good practice to always begin with the end in mind. How much better though to begin with the One who is Alpha and Omega – Beginning and End? The wisdom writer in Proverbs sagely counseled that we should, “Trust the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding; acknowledge him in all of your ways, and he will direct your path.” Whenever we find ourselves confused or unclear, perhaps, it is because we have disconnected our process of decision making from the Source.

Remember, the Source is the channel from which comes the light. Whenever there is a dark situation or experience, we can benefit simply from turning to then turning on the light.

If you want to make better decisions and live by divine design, include these steps in your decision-making process: 1. Trust God to participate in the process. It does not matter, however heavy or light the matter, invite God to weigh-in. The more you do, the greater will grow your faith and trust; 2. Refuse to lean solely on your own understanding. Though you are conscious, cognizant, connected, and more, learn to lean on the Lord. If you share the weight of your burden with the Lord, you will find that you have a companion worthy to carry. You will find this companion to be stable, able, reliable, and dependable; 3. Acknowledge the GPS (God’s Positioning System): admit that you can use some help getting to the destination; recognize where you are beginning from and where you want to go; allow the guidance of the Omniscient God to illuminate your path; 4.Accept His direction, for it leads His will, which is good.
