STORIES ABOUT CHILDREN ACCOMPLISHING GOALS MEANT TO INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE
Dr. Veronica Appleton always knew children’s literature was a space where she could create an impact, with stories about children accomplishing their goals and dreams. Despite being rejected by multiple publishers over the course of five years, she decided to continue to write.
NEARLY 5,000 ENTRIES RECEIVED IN FLAG REDESIGN CONTEST
Giannoulias Announces Flag Contest
Next-Steps Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias announced the Illinois Flag Commission received 4,844 entries during the six-week submission period that closed Oct. 18.
“I’m thrilled by the number of submissions the commission has received, as well as the excitement that this project has generated. I can’t wait to see which designs the commission selects for public voting,” Giannoulias said. “The contest has encouraged us all to reflect on what makes us proud to be Illinoisans, resulting in some great stories and unique designs reflecting what our state represents.”
Now that the submission period is closed, the Illinois Flag Commission will meet before the end of the year to select the top 10 designs. Beginning in January, the public will have the opportunity to vote online for one of 10 new designs, or one of the three former flag designs, including the current state flag, the 1918 Centennial Flag and the 1968 Sesquicentennial Flag.
After a public feedback period, the commission will report its findings to the Illinois General Assembly by April 1, 2025, whose members will vote on whether to adopt a new flag, return to a previous iteration of the flag or retain the current flag.
Senate Bill 1818, sponsored by State Senator Doris Turner (48th District— Springfield) and State Representative Kam Buckner (26th District—Chicago), was signed into law in 2023, creating the commission with the goals to gauge public sentiment on a new flag and to bolster civic pride. The Secretary of State’s office chairs the commission.
The commission will evaluate if a new state flag would better represent the state. The state flag has not had a major redesign since 1915.
NEW LAW SPONSORED BY REP. BOB RITA EMPOWERS PARK DISTRICTS AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO SET THEIR OWN DRONE RULES
Senate Bill 2849 Promotes Local Oversight, Protects Recreation Across Illinois
Blue Island, Ill. – A new law sponsored by State Representative Bob Rita (D-Blue Island) is giving local governments the power to make their own rules about drones flying over public spaces. This month, Rep. Rita joined Forest Preserves of Cook County Interim General Superintendent Eileen Figel at the Calumet Woods Forest Preserve to discuss the positive impact of the legislation and its importance.
“Whether it’s parents watching their child’s softball game, young swimmers in a competition, or people enjoying our trail system, everyone should be able to enjoy local parks without worrying about drones causing problems,” Rep. Rita said. “This legislation will allow park districts to regulate drone usage so that guests can feel safe and secure while enjoying public spaces.”
Under the new law authorized by Senate Bill 2849, local governments like park districts and forest preserves are empowered to implement rules on the use of airspace immediately above parks, playgrounds, aquatic facilities, wildlife areas, sports fields, or other recreational facilities so drones don’t interfere with activities.
Stories About Children Accomplishing Goals Meant To Inspire Young People
Continued from page 1
BY TIA CAROL JONES
“Journey to Appleville” was the first in her collection of books. This summer, Appleton released “Mama Why,” a comic book about a young boy who loses friends to gun violence and becomes a community activist.
“Journey to Appleville” is about six children from a neighborhood going to Appleville and visiting the Appleville Fairy in order to accomplish their goals. The book sold more than 900 copies and has been featured in different places throughout the Chicagoland area.
“I’m just very, very happy with the ways in which families have connected with the book, and also children,” Appleton said.
Appleton is a certified diversity professional and the co-founder of Candidly Connecting, a diversity education firm. She is also Publicis Media’s U.S. Senior Vice President of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. With that work, she educates workplaces on creating safe environments for people of color, people with disabilities and veterans and those who are aging. With her books, she tells stories about children accomplishing their goals with the hope they will be inspired to create change in their communities. Appleton said her work and the books work hand in hand, operating as roles in the same world, even though they look very different.
“It’s important for us to create stories where children can see what’s happening, where they may not have full context, but through a tool, like “Mama Why,” … that’s how we can make it happen,” she said.
The comic book, which is recommended for children ages 9 years old to 12 years old, also has a discussion guide, as well as tips for equity. It encourages readers to understand the past, while recognizing the need to advocate for a safe and brighter future.
Appleton hopes that readers of the comic book feel empowered to create a sense of community and further the commitment of equity, as well as encouraging a sense of giving back, while educating others. In the comic book, there are ads from Bernie’s Book Bank, Burst Into Books and Therapy for Kids, which are organizations that have a commitment to young people that Appleton admires. She said that when a reader feels empowered, they are inspired to do more in the community they live in.
“It’s a part of educating and creating stories and narratives that can help share some sort of change, whether it is for the child, whether it’s for the community, whether it’s for the parents in the home, even the teachers they encounter,” she said. Appleton came up with the idea for “Mama Why” after writing “Journey to Appleville.” She knew because of what was going on in the world, with the deaths of Eric Garner, Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin, Laquan McDonald and others. She wanted it to be a reflection of what systemic change could look like. The book was a way for her to say to parents, churches, educators and the community that it was necessary to look at the way children process violence in the community.
Appleton said the children who read her books have been really excited to see characters who look like them. She said those children have also been inspired to hear from an author. She said “TuTu Goes to School,” which is the second book in the “Journey to Appleville” series, and “Mama Why” go hand-in-hand because they are both books that feature Black children who love school and also love serving and committing to their community.
“I am just so grateful that what was intended to inspire and empower the little humans in the world has also done so for their families and for their parents, and that’s a beautiful thing to see,” she said.
Appleton wants to encourage writers, illustrators and creatives to create moments for writing and connecting. She wants people to be inspired to create their own stories because there is room and space for them.

ATTORNEY GENERAL RAOUL SUPPORTS EFFORTS TO PROTECT ACCESS TO EMERGENCY ABORTION CARE
Chicago – Attorney General Kwame Raoul, as part of a coalition of 24 attorneys general, filed an amicus brief in United States v. Idaho to protect access to emergency abortion care in Idaho. The brief urges the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to uphold a lower court’s preliminary injunction blocking Idaho’s restrictive abortion ban.
“No pregnant patient experiencing an emergency health condition should be denied care or be forced to travel long distances for life-saving treatment,” Raoul said. “Emergency abortion care saves lives and prevents further bodily harm, and a patient’s access to a potentially-lifesaving abortion should not depend upon the state in which they reside. I will continue to stand up for the rights of patients to access all forms of reproductive health care not only here in Illinois but across the country.”
The federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) generally requires hospitals that operate an emergency department and participate in Medicare – virtually every hospital in the country – to treat all patients who have an emergency medical condition before discharging or transferring them. Attorney General Raoul and the coalition maintain that several government agencies and courts have long determined that emergency abortion care and other pregnancy related emergencies are covered under EMTALA, and so Idaho’s ban cannot be enforced.
The attorneys general argue that allowing Idaho to

ComEd Rebates Now Available for Pre-Owned Electric Fleet Vehicles
CHICAGO – As part of a larger investment to accelerate the equitable growth of electric vehicles (EVs) in northern Illinois, ComEd is announcing that its business and public sector fleet EV rebate program can now be utilized for the purchase of certified, pre-owned electric fleet vehicles and repowered battery electric vehicles to help reduce the costs of transitioning to electric commercial and public sector fleets.
“We want making the switch to EVs to be easy, which is why ComEd is continuing to offer more tools, resources and programs to remove barriers, like cost, from EV adoption,” said Melissa Washington, Senior Vice President of Customer Operations and Strategic Initiatives at ComEd. “As fleet electrification continues to grow in Illinois, ComEd is now offering rebates in the same amount for customers pursuing both pre-owned EV models and new EVs, which will help support a
more affordable journey for the customer and accelerate the clean air benefits of widespread fleet adoption for all of our communities.”
Recognizing that the cost of new EVs is still a main barrier to EV adoption, the ComEd Pre Owned Electric Fleet Vehicle Rebate will help more commercial customers—including businesses of all sizes and public sector customers—qualify for pre-owned electric fleet vehicle purchase rebates ranging from $5,000-$180,000 depending on the vehicle class they are purchasing and on whether the customer is located in or primarily serves a low income or equity-investment eligible community (EIEC).
Customers interested in utilizing the fleet EV rebate program must complete a rebate application within 90 days of vehicle delivery. Through the program, pre-owned vehicles qualify for the same amounts of funding as new EVs. ComEd customers can submit rebate applications at ComEd.com/clean.
Owned Electric Fleet Vehicle Rebate is one of the many ways dealers are staying at the forefront of the EV revolution.”
ComEd’s residential and business & public sector EV rebate programs are helping residential, business and municipal customers alike increasingly turn to EVs. With nearly $90 million in rebates launched earlier this year, and more available in 2025, the programs are designed to ensure equitable EV adoption by reserving more than half of all funds for low-income customers and for customers who reside or primarily serve EIECs.
Early-Stage Caregiving Providing Support and Planning for the Future
When Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed in its early stages, individuals can often maintain independence, continuing daily activities like driving, working, or volunteering. Early-stage Alzheimer’s, which may last for years, presents a unique caregiving role—offering support, companionship, and assistance with future planning.
“Programs such as the newly expanded Comed Pre-Owned vehicle rebates will be instrumental in expanding access to electric vehicles across the state,” said Megha Lakhchaura, EV Officer for the state of Illinois. “Pre-Owned EVs can be a key entry point for business and public entities to adopt electric vehicles and further benefit from fuel savings. We commend ComEd for launching this program and allow more customers to make the transition to zero emission vehicles.”
Getting more zero-emissions fleet vehicles on the road is an essential component of reducing tailpipe emissions and reaching the state’s goal of putting 1 million EVs on the road in Illinois by 2030, as outlined in the state’s Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA). Today, over 116,000 EVs are registered in Illinois, with a majority owned by ComEd customers.
“With dangerous air pollution still a regional challenge, and with the burdens of asthma weighing more heavily on lower income communities, ComEd’s preowned EV fleet rebates will help increase the number of EVs on the road and reduce air pollution in northern Illinois,” said Brian Urbaszewski, Director of Environmental Health Programs at Respiratory Health Association. “Making access to EVs more affordable is key to increasing adoption and supporting critical health benefits.”
EVs provide a variety of benefits for customers. Not only do they offer fuel and maintenance cost savings and performance benefits, but communities can experience broad environmental improvements from reduced tailpipe emissions. Additionally, electrifying transportation— especially vehicle fleets—can create tangible health benefits for all communities and families across northern Illinois, especially communities which have traditional borne the brunt of climate change and air pollution.
Care partners, or “caregivers,” play a vital role. With an early diagnosis, there is time to make important decisions together regarding legal, financial, and long-term care planning. Care partners help the person with Alzheimer’s adjust to new routines, manage daily schedules, and find a balance between independence and support. The goal is to maintain their strengths while fostering confidence and autonomy.
Care partners are not limited to immediate family members. Friends, neighbors, and distant relatives can all provide secondary support, allowing primary caregivers the flexibility to plan and share insights. Adopting strategies that focus on safety, minimizing stress, and encouraging independence can enhance the quality of life for both the person with dementia and the care partner.

“As EV adoption grows in Illinois, so does the interest in certified, pre-owned EVs,” said Jennifer Morand, President of Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA). “CATA new-car dealers are committed to supporting vehicle electrification for interested consumers, and being able to offer a wide selection of pre-owned EVs that can benefit from a ComEd Pre-
ComEd is committed to making EV funding accessible to all qualifying customers. In addition to its various EV fleet and charging rebates, ComEd offers an EV Toolkit, which includes EV load capacity maps, fleet electrification assessments for commercial customers and a new make ready reservation process, helping grant commercial and public sector customers more visibility around infrastructure funds available to support EV charging expansion and installation.

Managing emotions is essential. Care partners may experience denial, fear, stress, and grief, while individuals with dementia often feel similar emotions. Open conversations, support groups, and selfcare practices are crucial to navigating the challenges and preparing for the future. The Alzheimer’s Association offers resources, including support groups, educational courses, and information on treatments and clinical trials. Care partners are encouraged to stay connected, accept help, and create a robust support system to navigate the journey effectively.
Through education, planning, and compassionate caregiving, early-stage Alzheimer’s care partners can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those they support.
override EMTALA’s protections for emergency abortion care could lead to pregnant patients dying or suffering irreversible injuries. The brief also notes that this action by Idaho could cause health care providers to leave the state, leading to worsened patient care and pregnant patients seeking care in other states, which can overwhelm their health care systems. In fact, within a few months of Idaho’s abortion ban going into effect, nearly one in four obstetricians left the state or retired. This past March, a multistate coalition of attorneys general filed an amicus brief with the
United States Supreme Court in this case, urging the court to maintain the district court’s preliminary injunction. The court ultimately sent the case back to the Ninth Circuit with the district court’s injunction intact. Joining Raoul in filing the amicus brief are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

at the forefront,” said T.I. “I’m excited to join AfroTech and speak to the next generation of creators and entrepreneurs about harnessing innovation to amplify our voices and impact globally.

LISC Entrepreneurs of Color Fund reaches $500 million goal
NEW YORK, PRNewswire -- The Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) announced that the Entrepreneurs of Color Fund (EOCF) has surpassed its $500 million goal for small business lending across the country — more than two years ahead of schedule. LISC is now expanding the program to double its impact, aiming to support $1 billion in financing for underserved businesses and communities.
“We are working to level the playing field—to connect promising but overlooked businesses to affordable financing so that whole communities can benefit from economic development and growth,” said Steve Hall, LISC vice president of Small Business Lending.
EOCF is specifically designed to strengthen the local infrastructure for small business lending. It provides grants, loans and technical assistance to community development financial institutions (CDFIs) so they can better reach businesses that the traditional market does not serve.
The program particularly addresses capital gaps that affect communities of color. According to the Federal Reserve, Black and Latino small business owners are turned down for financing at more than twice the rate of their white counterparts. Those owners are also more likely to say that a lack of financing is a significant challenge to their business success.
“We want to expand financing opportunities so owners can buy a building, purchase equipment, increase their inventory or expand their staff,” Hall said. “The $500 million deployed thus far is an investment in local wealth-building. It not only benefits businesses and their employees but also expands access to goods, services and jobs for residents in the communities where these firms operate.”
“Having T.I., Kendrick, Angelica, and Colin at AfroTech 2024 underscores what this event is all about — pioneering the future of technology by challenging the status quo,” said Morgan DeBaun, Founder and CEO of Blavity, Inc. “Each of these leaders brings a unique perspective on harnessing technology to not only scale businesses but to break down barriers. We’re here to push the boundaries of what’s possible and to empower the next generation to think bigger.”
For instance, Colin Kaepernick will highlight how Lumi is empowering creators with AI tools to democratize storytelling, and T.I. will share strategies on thriving in today’s rapidly evolving innovation economy. The aim isn’t just to inspire but to equip attendees with the insights to drive tangible change in their own ventures.”
T.I. will join Tosh Ernest, Head of Catalyst 2045 at Silicon Valley Bank, A Division of First Citizens Bank, for “Strategies for Success: Thriving in the Innovation Economy,” a session tailored for Black leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers. While this landscape offers exciting career and wealth-generation opportunities, systemic and historical barriers have limited access for women, Black, and Latinx individuals. T.I. and Ernest will share practical strategies for overcoming these challenges and navigating networks to create lasting impact.
“Technology is driving the future of business and culture, and it’s vital for us to stay
Sampson will engage the audience in a vital discussion on technology and election integrity, emphasizing the importance of civic engagement in driving change. Meanwhile, Ross will lead an inspiring fireside chat dedicated to empowering LGBTQIA+ talent in the tech industry, highlighting strategies to create inclusive environments and amplify diverse voices.
Attendees can also look forward to over 50 speakers, including Anton Vincent, President of Mars Wrigley North America & Global Ice Cream, who will lead a panel on brand building through sustainability, diversity, and ethical leadership. Zuhairah Washington, Founder & CEO of Unlimited Ventures, will join a panel on overcoming barriers to success, focusing on mentorship and leadership development for women of color in tech and other underrepresented fields.
Engaging discussions will be paired with interactive networking sessions and handson workshops, offering a comprehensive experience for attendees. By learning from industry leaders and peers, participants will gain valuable insights and strategies to overcome challenges and capitalize on opportunities, contributing to a more inclusive and innovative tech landscape.
The conference will culminate in the highly anticipated Blavity House Party Block Party, featuring live performances from renowned artists, creating a vibrant atmosphere for attendees to celebrate culture and connection.

EOCF currently partners with 24 CDFIs in 10 metro areas, including Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New Orleans, New York City, Oakland, and Greater Washington, D.C. Together, they have supported more than 9,500 loans to small businesses in the retail, business services, food, small manufacturing and transportation sectors. Approximately half of the borrowers serve low-to-moderate income communities.
In their most recent survey of owners, EOCF found that 62 percent of firms increased their staffing after obtaining a loan, and 55 percent saw revenue growth. In addition, because of the high-touch business services provided, 82 percent of owners with a low credit score when they applied for a loan (below 651) were able to increase their score, which better positions them for conventional financing in the future.
Johnnie Akons, owner of Legacy Cutz in Chicago, is a good example. Unable to get a conventional loan to move out of rented space, he worked with LISC and EOCF to open his first real estate loan for his barbershop, grow his staff, build his financial expertise and, two years later, purchase commercial space for a second location. Both shops serve majority-Black communities.
“Even with all the hard work and everything I put into this business and this industry, it would be basically impossible to grow if I hadn’t been able to get these loans,” he said.
In addition to financial support, the EOCF team collaborates with local CDFIs to identify barriers that block the flow of capital—like outdated underwriting approaches or gaps in digital access—and develop products and services that respond.
“It is clearly possible to successfully implement fair and inclusive lending policies,” Hall said. “But it requires a different way of thinking about the process and a willingness to step back from traditional notions about risk.”
Supporters of the EOCF program include JPMorganChase and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation—which piloted the EOCF in Detroit in 2015, before LISC took the reins as program manager in 2020—as well as Fifth Third Bank, Prudential, The Rockefeller Foundation and U.S. Bank.

Old Navy Unveils ‘Love is in the House’ in Holiday Campaign with Jennifer Hudson
SAN FRANCISCO, PRNewswire -- This holiday season, Old Navy invites everyone to come play with style with the launch of its latest campaign, “Love is in the House,” starring Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony (EGOT) award winner Jennifer Hudson. As the go-to destination for fashion, fun, and togetherness, Old Navy tapped Jennifer Hudson to help celebrate the holiday spirit with a campaign that invites you to bring your unique style, dressed-up dogs, and chosen family to the Old Navy house, where everyone is welcome.
The ‘Love Is In The House’ campaign presents Jennifer Hudson as the season’s hostess inside an Old Navy house - a magical holiday home packed with style and wonder. Sparkling in Old Navy’s High-Rise Rockstar Jeans in Black Shine, Long Sleeve Sweetheart Velvet Top, and a Black Faux-Fur Jacket, Hudson hosts a whimsical house party featuring festive and surprising characters as guests, including dancer and influencer, Lexee Smith; dancer and choreographer, Raphael “The Sandman” Thomas; nine-yearold dancer, Brody Hudson Schaffer, a.k.a. Boss Baby Brody; and Old Navy’s very own, Magic the Dog. From a conga line of shimmering denim cha-chaing through the house foyer, to fair isle-wearing guests blatantly ignoring the “no skiing in the house” rule, and an indoor winter wonderland filled with snow, holiday wonder is around every corner.
The Old Navy holiday campaign will air across Cinema, Social platforms, Primetime networks, and streaming services like Bravo, HGTV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney +, and during 34 NFL games, including Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday game days.
Old Navy’s “Love Is In The House” campaign brings the ultimate holiday style, all under one roof. From embellished and metallic denim to festive warm sweaters, puffer coats and fleece zip ups, this collection has it all. The iconic Jingle Jammies, perfect for a coordinated photo shoot or styled with denim and accessories for a “glammie” dinner look, make Old Navy the season’s go-to destination for family fashion. Offering both holiday glam and comfort at a great value, Old Navy has something special for everyone.
“It was a dream come true to work with Jennifer Hudson and see her sparkle in our new Shine denim, said Zac Posen, Executive Vice President, Creative Director of Gap Inc. and Chief Creative Officer of Old Navy. “When we learned that Jennifer Hudson was launching her first-ever holiday album, we thought, now is the time to collaborate with an EGOT winner to spread joy in our “Love is in the House” holiday campaign.”

The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation and Stanford University Libraries Receive Grant from Mellon Foundation
OAKLAND, Calif., PRNewswire -- A selection of The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation Inc. collection, the largest Black Panther Party archive and one of the most researched collections at Stanford University Libraries, will be digitized and made accessible to people around the globe. Thanks to a generous $150,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation to the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, a selection of the collection will be digitized by Stanford University Libraries in this pilot project and made available online through SearchWorks, the Libraries’s catalog, and in the community research room at the Black Panther Party Museum, recently established in downtown Oakland, CA. Stanford University Libraries has housed the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation Collection since Huey’s widow Fredrika entrusted it to them in 1996.
As one of the most frequently consulted and critically important archival collections housed at Stanford University Libraries, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation Inc. collection includes Dr. Newton’s private papers, letters, writings, videos, and photos as well as the Party’s political campaign ephemera, documents on how they ran their Survival Programs, and drafts of the Ten Point Program, among many others. The collection also includes a series of FBI surveillance documents obtained by the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation via the Freedom of Information Act.
“In the very early days of the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, we identified multiple pathways toward our goal of making the accurate history and legacy of the Black Panther Party as widely available as possible,” said Fredri -
ka Newton, co-founder of the Foundation. “An essential part of this was taking the voluminous amount of archives Huey left and placing them where they can be accessed, studied and utilized by as many people as possible. We are grateful for the care and partnership that Stanford University has provided to us and to this significant collection.”
The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation and Stanford University Libraries’s archivists are working together to identify and prioritize the works to be digitized during this initial pilot, with the hopes of possibly digitizing the entire collection, and ensuring the preservation of these critical historical documents for future generations. This digitization project aligns with Stanford University Libraries’s ongoing commitment to making its archival resources more accessible and to supporting research that advances our understanding of social justice and civil rights.
Roberto Trujillo, Associate University Librarian for Special Collections at Stanford states, “It is critically important to broaden discoverability and access for a continued critical reception of the Black Panther Party history.”

Uncle Funky’s Daughter Announces MPoWR Her Grant
HOUSTON, PRNewswire
-- Uncle Funky’s Daughter, a leading natural hair care brand, has partnered with Texas Southern University (TSU) to empower female entrepreneurs through the MPoWR Her Grant. This initiative, supported by a $50,000 endowment from The Rhoten Morris Family Foundation, will be awarded annually to an African-American female student at TSU’s Entrepreneurial Hub, providing critical financial support for their startup ventures.
This initiative is especially significant in light of the current entrepreneurial landscape. According to J.P. Morgan, African-American women are the fastest-growing demographic of entrepreneurs in the United States, increasing by a staggering 50% between 2014 and 2019, compared to the 24% increase among women-owned businesses overall. However, despite their growing presence, African-American female founders receive less than 0.35% of total venture capital funding in the U.S.,
forcing many to rely on personal savings and credit to fund their ventures.
A recent 2023 report from the Federal Reserve Bank revealed that 65% of Black women business owners rely on personal funds to start and grow their businesses, compared to just 55% of their white counterparts. The MPoWR Her Grant seeks to address this inequity by providing critical financial support to early-stage African-American female entrepreneurs, alleviating some of the financial barriers that often hinder business growth.
Renee Rhoten Morris, Uncle Funky’s Daughter’s Chief Curl Officer and founder of the Rhoten Morris Family Foundation, expressed the importance of the partnership, “We must create channels that change the playing field. HBCUs play an essential role in cultivating female African-American talent, and we’re proud to be part of TSU’s Entrepreneurial Hub, which will
nurture the next generation of innovators. This grant underscores our dedication to empowering future female leaders, fostering education, and creating pathways for building generational wealth.”
TSU, a historically Black university with a strong tradition of leadership and social change, will benefit from the partnership as it enhances its academic environment and attracts talented, entrepreneurial students. This collaboration, ahead of TSU’s 100th anniversary, reflects the university’s ongoing efforts to foster innovation and community empowerment.
Together, Uncle Funky’s Daughter and Texas Southern University are charting a course toward a brighter future—one in which education, entrepreneurship, and community empowerment go hand in hand.

Insight Into The Reason For Reverse Mortgage
Last week I shared an insightful look into the reason reverse mortgages have been problematic in our Black communities. This week and in weeks to come I will share the details of real-life cases of families battling for their elder’s homes that had reverse mortgages. I will point out the “red flags” that should have been noticed; thus, avoiding problems later.
Bren Sheriff
Fifteen years ago, Mr. A, a widower, was convinced by a contractor to get a reverse mortgage of $65,000; $45,000 for quoted repairs on his home and an additional $25,000 for his personal use. Fifteen years later, the error in Mr. A’s understanding became known when his health failed, and he was placed in a nursing home. It was only then that his children learned that their father had a reverse mortgage.
Mr. A had no long-term care insurance nor money in the bank to pay for his nursing home care of $15,000 a month. The State of Illinois placed a lien on his home to pay for his nursing home care.
To compound the family’s problem, the reverse mortgage company sent notice of foreclosure to Mr. A. Reverse mortgages have a clause that requires the borrower to maintain their mortgaged home as his principal residence. Mr. A’s placement in the nursing home violated this clause.
The news of foreclosure was particularly devasting to the son and granddaughter of Mr. A as they faced eviction.
Continued next week, Bye for now, Bren.

A NEW NAREB STUDY FINDS SOME POSITIVES IN THE STRUGGLE AGAINST APPRAISAL BIAS, BUT RACIAL DISPARITIES IN HOME VALUES CONTINUE
WASHINGTON, DC -- The National Association of Real Estate Brokers (NAREB) released a comprehensive study of appraisal bias today, finding some narrowing of contract price undervaluation gaps and reduction of disparities in appraisals in Black neighborhoods compared to White communities. Notably, significant progress was made in specific cities, offering hope for environments where Black intergenerational wealth can thrive.
The study identifies two types of appraisal bias: the gap between median appraisal values of homes in Black communities Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose relative to similar-quality homes in White neighborhoods and “contract price undervaluation,” which is the share of appraised homes that fail to meet or exceed the price set by sellers in sales contracts.
“HUD recognizes that appraisal bias is a significant barrier to fair housing and economic opportunity, particularly for communities of color who are most affected by undervaluation and discriminatory practices,” said HUD Acting Secretary Adrianne Todman. “It not only limits the wealth-building potential for families but also perpetuates a cycle of inequity in our housing market. I commend NAREB for their leadership in releasing this important report and advancing collective efforts to ensure that every homeowner has an equal opportunity to realize the full value of their property.”
Sandra Thompson, Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), said, “Today’s report showing that appraisal disparities between Black and White neighborhoods have narrowed proves that shining a light on these longstanding concerns can drive real change benefiting thousands of aspiring and current homeowners. However, we recognize that persistent and unacceptable inequities remain. Our work to ensure fairness throughout the housing finance system and enable underserved communities to build generational wealth continues.”
Dr. Courtney Johnson Rose, NAREB President, asserted
that while the study, entitled “Home Appraisals in Black and White: Disparities in the Estimated Valuation of Homes by Neighborhood Racial Composition” shows that appraisal bias continues to exist, there has been improvement following the establishment of the White House’s Federal Interagency Task Force on Property Appraisal and Valuation Equity (PAVE) in 2021. The release of the PAVE Action Plan on March 23, 2022, outlined policy measures actively working to lessen the occurrence and impact of appraisal bias.
Dr. Rose also credited FHFA Director Thompson and former HUD Secretary Marcia L. Fudge for facilitating the public release of Uniform Appraisal Dataset Aggregate Statistics, which provides aggregate data on home appraisals. Some major housing industry stakeholders had opposed its release. The data empowers housing experts to monitor appraisal practices, similar to the impact of the public release of Home Mortgage Disclosure Act data in 1991, a cornerstone in fighting housing and lending discrimination.
Dr. Rose noted that home equity comprises 65 percent of the median net worth for Black households, making it a leading component of Black wealth. As a result, appraisal bias, housing discrimination, and the Black-White homeownership gap have been significant factors in restricting Black wealth over the decades.
Compiled by James H. Carr and Michela Zonta, the study determined that the most significant decline in contract price undervaluation in Black communities was in neighborhoods with the largest shares of Black borrowers (at or higher than the national average). Those communities experienced a fall in contract price undervaluation from 14.8 percent to 10.3 percent.
In reviewing data from the 20 metropolitan areas with the largest Black populations, the study found that in Houston, the Black median appraised home undervaluation gap narrowed by 31 percentage points, falling from 41% in 2021 to 10% in 2023. The undervaluation gap plunged 14%
IN
BLACK COMMUNITIES
in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area, from 35% in 2021 to 21% in 2023. The median appraised home undervaluation gap has also narrowed in the Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Virginia Beach metropolitan areas.
However, there were other locations where the gap increased. In Los Angeles, the Black appraised undervaluation gap grew 17 percentage points, from 31% in 2021 to 48% in 2023. The gap also rose by four percentage points in Baltimore and Miami. It increased by up to three points in the Charlotte, Cleveland, Memphis, New York, St. Louis, and Tampa metropolitan areas while remaining the same in Orlando.
The research also found that:
Ø When the volume of home purchases by Blacks in Black neighborhoods (i.e., neighborhoods where Blacks are buying rather than simply residing) is considered, in both 2021 and 2023, homes in Black neighborhoods with large shares of loan originations to Black borrowers had a median home appraised undervaluation gap of 47% compared to White neighborhoods with no Black borrowers.
Ø After controlling for housing quality and neighborhood location, amenities, and socioeconomic characteristics, homes in Black neighborhoods in 2023 had a median appraised home value of $299,572 compared to $430,915 in White neighborhoods, a 30% undervaluation gap.
Ø Between 2021 and 2023, the median appraised home undervaluation gap fell from 38% to 23% in gentrifying Black neighborhoods with no Black loan originations compared to White neighborhoods with no Black loan originations.
Ø Nationally, the adjusted median appraised home valuations gap increased between 2013 and 2022. From 2022 to 2023, however, the gap decreased. The median appraised home valuation gap between Black and White neighborhoods varied significantly based on the share of Black and White borrowers in Black census tracts.
Tia Mowry Set to Star and Executive Produce in “A Very Merry Beauty Salon”
PRODUCED BY FOX ENTERTAINMENT STUDIOS’ MARVISTA ENTERTAINMENT, RONREACO LEE, DONNA BISCOE, COCOA BROWN AND ASHLI AUGUILLARD ALSO STAR
(Black PR Wire) LOS ANGELES, CA – It’s beginning to look a lot more like Christmas as Lifetime announces the greenlight of the new original movie, A Very Merry Beauty Salon, executive produced and starring Tia Mowry. RonReaco Lee, Donna Biscoe, Cocoa Brown and Ashli Auguillard are also set to star in A Very Merry Beauty Salon. The movie follows the lively women of an Atlanta beauty salon owned by Sienna (Mowry) who must prepare for the annual Tinsel Ball, but is Sienna also prepared for love when Lawrence (Lee) arrives to town? This marks a reunion for Mowry and Lee who previously starred together in the iconic sitcom Sister, Sister. This marks the final installment of Mowry’s three-picture deal with the network.
In A Very Merry Beauty Salon, Sienna, the owner of the bustling Divine Beauty Salon is preparing for Atlanta’s Tinsel Ball, where she will be honored for her charitable work in the community. The annual event takes a glamourous turn with the arrival of Lawrence, a charismatic CEO whose family’s wine brand is now co-sponsoring the Ball. Sparks fly between them, but Sienna’s mother Georgia (Donna Biscoe) who is the head of the Ball’s committee, worries his involvement may ruin the event’s traditions. As
Sienna and Lawrence are unexpectedly paired as dance partners, romance blooms, setting the stage for a steamy romance that challenges Sienna’s thoughts on love and family and makes this year’s Tinsel Ball the most memorable yet.
Cocoa Brown and Ashli Auguillard star as Miss Kimmy and Ella, hairdressers at the salon.
A Very Merry Beauty Salon is produced for Lifetime by FOX Entertainment Studios’ (FES) Mar Vista Entertainment in association with GroupM Motion Entertainment. Adam Shepard, Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew executive produce for FES. Richard Foster and Chet Fenster executive produce for GroupM Motion Entertainment.

Lifetime’s full slate will be announced in the coming weeks.

COMMUNITY
Supporting the Military's Hurricane Relief Efforts
(StatePoint) As local communities throughout the southeast region of the United States coped with the damage caused by recent hurricanes, National Guard, Coast Guard and additional active-duty service members rescued people and pets, cleared roads, and distributed needed supplies. These service members not only left their loved ones behind to tackle stressful disaster response missions, but many were also members of impacted communities, making their response efforts all the more challenging.
As always, the USO was there too, providing crucial support to the thousands of military service members responding to the call of duty.

Acting as “USO Centers on wheels,” Mobile USO vehicles and the teams that operate them provide service members with a moment of respite after long days of challenging work. In addition to offering classic USO amenities like WiFi and device charging stations, Mobile USO vehi-cles are also stocked with hygiene kits, snacks, water and sports drinks to keep service members properly fueled and hydrated so they can stay sharp during their missions.
When electricity, water and cell serv-ice is extremely limited—or non-existent— in the wake of a hurricane, having a space where responding service members can access air con-ditioning, a cold glass of water or a hot meal, Wi-Fi and a charging port to reach out to their loved ones is crucial to boosting morale. That’s why Mobile USO vehicles access multiple locations over a short period of time, often driving right into areas most affected by the storms, so they can meet the service members where they are.
The generosity of donors and partners gives the USO the flexibility to deploy resources just as service members receive their orders. To support the people serving in the U.S. military and their families through the USO, visit www.uso.org.
During challenging military missions, including disaster response in American communities, small moments of respite can make all the difference in service members’ operational readiness and well-being as they prepare to head out on another mission.
