Editorial submissions to The Chicago Defender letters@chicagodefender.com businessnews@chicagodefender.com Chicago musicians Jaime Garza Rodriguez (left) & Ben La Mar (right) play “The Guantanamo Blues” at the edge of this Cuban city.

By Stan West Defender Contributing Writer GUANTANAMO, CUBA – Cool sounds from warm musicians greet Chicago blues players, journalists and educators here in this palm-laden place most Americans only associate with a U.S. Navy base-prison and the famous “Guantanamera” song. Yet, there’s so much more to this lovely, working-class city in Cuba’s El Oriente Province than that.

Folks here are kind; their rich history is deep. Many of them remind me of the West Siders and the South Siders. And just like people on the West Side and South Side get less attention than folks on the North Side, people in the Eastern part of the country – El Oriente – get shortchanged from the western part where the famous capital, Havana, is located. I think of El Oriente as “Cuba’s Mississippi.” And while the whole country is slowly mixing revolutionary socialism with market capitalism through private entrepreneurship like “paladars,” which are privately owned restaurants often in someone’s house where the government grants licenses, it seems prosperity is slow to reach here where the revolution was launched. Most of the citizens here are Black and Latino.

People often speak to me in Spanish and occasionally Haitian Kreyol, thinking I understand those popular languages in

this region. My Spanish sucks. I do know a little Kreyol and French. I’m a board member with the Haitian American Museum of Chicago and the Afro Latino Historical Society.

Before we left, School of the Art Institute Professor Rashayla Marie Brown, an Afro-Cuban, said, “The Cuban government is slow to promote Blacks to high-ranking government positions.” On the tour bus, one of the Chicago musicians, Shanta Nurullah, asks “if racism exists” in this socialist country.

“The short answer is Y-E-S, but the longer answer is it is not as racially institutionalized here in Cuba as it is in the United States,” said group leader Marguerite Horberg. “It’s more complicated.” Books I read in advance of the trip confirm what she said and what we saw. It’s generally acknowledged that the 1959 revolution improved life for most of the poor Black and working-class people, which might be one reason it seems the upper-crust Whites fled for Miami and the working-class Blacks stayed in Cuba. Not so much for many professionals of all stripes who earn nearly the same as laborers despite the socialist government’s free education, health care and subsidized food and housing that everyone gets.

That situation has been made even more complicated with remittances (money sent from U.S. Cubans to their relatives back home) that have been mainly from

Whites to other Whites, with Blacks not getting a lion’s share of the fresh capital.

“And while it’s visibly apparent that lighter-skinned Cubans are prominent in high government positions and lucrative tourist jobs, it’s not necessarily because of White supremacy or institutionalized racism,” Horberg adds. Conservative Cuban exiles in Miami’s Calle Ocho barrio argue “the revolution has hurt everyone.”

‘Cuban Blues’ We see little hurt. We’re here jamming with Cuban “changui” counterparts.

Changui (a Bantu word for “dance”) is a mix of Haitian, African, Spanish, French (“tumba francesa”) and indigenous secular and spiritual sounds. It’s often called “Cuban blues,” according to local musicologists. That’s because its lyrics — mostly romantic — are sometimes about depressing themes like how “the decades-old U.S. embargo is strangling our country and the U.S. military base and prison at Guantanamo is giving us the blues.” The U.S. Navy base has been here since 1903 and extended in 2003 because of what’s called the Platt Agreement, which Cubans signed under duress of occupation by the U.S. military more than a century ago.

Today, Cubans argue it’s an affront to their sovereignty. “Senator Orville Platt introduced the amendment, and it passed continued on page 03

Cubans we talked to cited several human-rights abuses connected to the U.S. base.

area.

There’s buzz about our trip. Perhaps that’s why our cultural tour is visited by high-ranking U.S. State Department and Cuban Ministry of Culture officials. The wonderful thing is politics are left at the front door once the music starts. Cubans open with “changui,” then invite thumb pianists Shanta Nurullah and Ayana Contreras (also a DJ), trumpeter Ben La Mar, guitarists Andres Flores and Jaime Garza Rodriguez, to jam. It tops a fun-filled trip led by Horberg, founder of the HotHouse, now celebrating its 30th anniversary promoting “World Beat” music and 12 trips to Cuba. Our delegation also includes Shelby Richardson, Monica Murphy, Mary Ferazza, Karthik Balaji and bilingual Jennifer Moran, who helped translate an interview I did with a Cuban soldier in Angola con-

flict zones 30 years ago when I was a very young war correspondent. Now, I’m a culture reporter.

One the most delightful jamming sessions occurs at Dr. Adela Blanca’s “patio,” which is a changui salon at her humble house where the surgeon incorporates music in her community health practices. She sings, dances, plays claves and teaches citizens – many of whom are males with diabetes – preventive health measures. She plans on visiting Chicago to meet with public health officials this fall if there are no visa issues. She’s smart, charming, committed and reminds me of my mom. While wine made by one of the musicians flows here, most of our delegation jams at her house.

The ONLY reason this former percussionist doesn’t join is I need to record the video.

Our group also played at Guantanamo’s

House of Changui, an elite school, as well as the popular Casa di Trova where American and Cuban, young, rum drinkers and tee-tootlers play together, dance together and merge music from the Americas with a distinctive African common base.

In 1990, I was invited to Guantanamo by 2 Live Crew rapper Luther Campbell to document thousands of then harshly treated Haitian detainees in the prison. While grateful he paid for a round-trip ticket to and from Cuba, I was not able to make that trip. I did visit Havana twice, though, in 2015. Today, the Haitians, and even later the hundreds of Cuban detainees who a couple decades ago were fleeing the country in dinky little boats, are gone; and only 41 detainees (mostly Muslims from the Middle East) remain here.

One of the most famous was Mohammad Salahi, “prisoner 760” – who, according to a March 12 60 Minutes, was here in infamous Camp Delta for 12 years. Today, he’s back in Yemen. He’s reformed, no longer a jihadi. Most of the rest are said by U.S. officials, though, to be “terrorists.” No country wants them housed in their nation, least of which is Cuba. People here want the prison and the base closed, according to Cubans interviewed in the Calvo Aspira documentary, All Guantanamo Is Ours. They are not as the lilting ballad suggests “Guantanameras” (Cuban residents of Guantanamo).

“We want the Yankees to go home!”

Meanwhile, in the bigger Eastern Province cities like Holguin, Baracoa and Santiago de Cuba we visit, citizens warmly welcome the Windy City musicians with the HotHouse Chicago-Guantanamo Blues Exchange to share our respective “blues” with their city’s great players until they visit us later this year to jam their distinctive century-old music in Pilsen. In sum, we are cultural diplomats. Bravo!

Stemming Violence Through Entrepreneurship

By Maurice Lee Defender Contributing Writer In the midst of the surge in gun violence that has gripped the city of Chicago for the past two years, a group of activists has come together to help stem the damage to our communities by turning entrepreneurs into job creators and filling in the void they say is left by decades of systematic disinvestment.

The Unleash/ Launch 2017 conference is the brainchild of Rev. Michael McBride and Rev. Michael McBride Solomon Group Managing Partner Robert Johnson, a member of Trinity United Church of Christ. The two met through Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, Johnson’s pastor.

“If we were to take people who are utilizing the underground economy to support their families, to support their own personal lifestyles, we see that those are the people who are targeted by police. What if you take the same individuals and give them the opportunity to utilize their creativity to take those skills and put them into a business? We then start talking about growing our community economically, but also growing it for ourselves and not depending on someone else to invest,” said Moss.

A collaboration of PICO National Network, the LeadWell Institute, and the Solomon Group, the Chicago event is the first stop on a 10-city tour including Atlanta, Birmingham, Orlando and St. Louis. The two-day conference features speakers, industry panels, networking opportunities and “a Black Shark Tank” that will award up to $15,000 in grants to help local entrepreneurs start their businesses.

“There’s not a whole lot of job resources in our communities,” said Johnson. “But there’s a whole lot of ideas, ambition, drive and creativity.

So how do you tap into that to provide the opportunity for these individuals to become entrepreneurs and business owners? What we wanted to do is provide the resources those other communities have, locate them in our communities, and be able to expose these individuals to economic opportunity and the American dream.”

Johnson acknowledges that the entrepreneurship initiative alone will not alleviate gun violence in the city. The Unleash/Launch 2017 initiative is only one aspect of a holistic strategy that will include the launch of Live Free Chicago, the local chapter of Live Free USA’s church organizing effort and Trinity UCC’s Chicago International Youth Peace Movement, which focuses on domestic violence and violence against women.

“I kind of stay in my lane,” said Johnson. “I’m a businessman, so that’s my contribution to the struggle.” www.chicagodefender.com

Building Bridges Among Africans and African-Americans

By Lee Edwards Defender Contributing Writer What’s the role of Africans in the Black Lives Matter movement? Does African/African-American privilege exist? Do we treat injustices against Black women the same way as Black men? Those are the types of questions posed at the Nigerian-American Professional Association’s (NAPA) third annual Bridging the Gap Brunch Discussion at Garifuna Flava Caribbean Restaurant on the South Side of Chicago last week. The nonprofit’s brunch strives to build bridges between the African-American and African communities while also breaking down preconceived notions and stereotypes.

Boyede Sobitan, NAPA’s past president and owner of mobile grocery delivery service Oja Express, facilitated the dialogue with Appreccia Faulkner, founder of Global Strategists Association (GSA), an organization that works to increase the participation of Blacks in global engagements.

The duo posed several questions to the more than 40 event attendees. Amara Enyia, an event participant who said she’s familiar with both the African and American perspective, said these types of conversations are “absolutely crucial” as both sides work to establish relationships that

NAPA Programming Chair Moji Akinde speaks during a NAPA function. foster understanding. She explained no one group should be able to monopolize or be gatekeepers to the Black experience as every story, while different, is valuable.

“A lot of times perceptions leave out African immigrants, those from the Caribbean, and those who might not have whatever we are calling the Black American experience, and that can serve as a way to divide,” said Enyia. “I just think there’s a lot of opportunities for growing in the understanding of each other, and there’s value in talking to each other and building

together.”

Attendee Emanuel Williams said while growing up in poverty on the West Side of Chicago, he didn’t have any tangible connection to the African experience.

“This conversation is very enlightening. It was a good time to be educated, to build good relationships with those who are African, and to be honest with each other about our different worlds and how they grew up and how we grew up as Black Americans,” said Williams.

Faulkner cited city dynamics, segregation in Chicago, a lack of cultural understanding, and political dynamics as underlining causes that divide the city’s African-American and African communities.

Sobitan echoed Faulkner’s point and noted during the American Civil Rights era of the 1950s and 1960s, many African nations were faced with their own civil rights battles with imperial regimes.

“Now with the internet, we are seeing as a Nigerian or as an African-American person my blackness is vulnerable,” said Sobitan.

The collaboration between NAPA and GSA had been in the works for some time, said Sobitan. “It was a natural marriage that made sense, and also the crowd that GSA brings in is a crowd that NAPA probably couldn’t reach. We want to ensure that we don’t just have a dialogue in a vacuum,” said Sobitan. “We want to build bridges to have more substantive conversations.”

Faulkner said both organizations possess a central theme of addressing issues with both a local and global reach.

“I’m excited about any opportunity, and definitely for bridging the gap through fostering this discussion and making sure that we get these communities engaged,” said Faulkner.

TECH ROUNDUP

Want to Break into Tech? Here’s how.

Q&A With Digital Sales Pro Tasha Levy

By Shari Noland Defender Executive Editor It’s competitive to find that perfect tech gig, whether you are into content, a coder, or more of a business type. You need to have the right degree, make the right connections and commit to being a lifelong learner. I had the opportunity to talk to Facebook’s Tasha Levy, who works out of the Chicago office in sales as the Multicultural Lead. She’s part of Facebook’s Global Marketing Solutions team, which helps top brands across the United States looking to engage African-American audiences. Tasha previously worked for AOL, BlackVoices.com and Interactive One. We asked her about her career, what drives her and what she recommends for students and career-changers seeking to follow in her successful footsteps.

Tasha Levy Many people want to work in the tech space. What kind of background do you need to break into the field?

If you’re a student, let’s say you’re in high school, let’s start there. An affinity for science, engineering, or math, and those type of fields, are a great start for the technology phase, although it can be broader than that.

There are business opportunities and a lot of different type of fields. But the majority of the possibilities are technical in nature. So programs that are related to science and math at a local level are helpful. And for college students, if you’re a student interested in engineering or math, those fields align well with technology. Then, as an adult, if you’re not in the field, but you want to get into it, start joining some organizations that support technology so that you can learn about what your skill sets are and how they can transfer over to technology. If you don’t have the resources to join these organizations or to join numerous organizations, then some organizations have volunteer opportunities where you can go and volunteer for their event for free. Doing that allows you to learn about the technology field from a formal standpoint. But informally, it allows you to create a network within that space.

Tell more about building relationships.

How should people go about that?

I think building relationships should be in the top three things that they do. Yes, they

you navigate some of the opportunities that perhaps you may not know about, but your network might.

Are you involved in any organizations yourself?

Yes. Here in Chicago, I’m a member of the Chicago Interactive Marketing Association. When I was a student, I was part of the National Society of Black Engineers. When I was in High School, I was part of INROADS, which is for children who were interested in business or engineering.

Walk us through your career.

I attended the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, and I majored in industrial engineering. And out of school, I worked for EDS (Electronic Data Systems) and at General Motors in La Grange, Illinois, as an industrial engineer. Actually, it’s Caterpillar now, but it was General Motors at the time. I worked there for four years, and then I decided that I wanted a career change and wanted to do something different. So I went back to the University of Illinois, where I got an MBA in marketing. After graduating from business school, I got at BlackVoices.com, which was owned by the Chicago Tribune. I worked in marketing and sales. When AOL bought Black Voices, I went over to join the sales team at AOL. After that, I went to the Weather Channel here in Chicago and worked in sales. And then I went to Interactive One, which is part of Radio One Corporation, where I was the vice president of Midwest and West Coast advertising. And now here at Facebook as a Multicultural Lead, focusing on African-American Affinity sales.

What drives you? Are you more passionate about sales or technology?

You know, I think I’m passionate about both. I’ve always had an affinity for technology, which is why I initially majored in engineering. I have a natural inclination to keep learning. Which is why I like digital, it’s constantly changing. I’ve had careers where I work in multicultural and where I’ve also worked in a more general market. But I am passionate about multicultural marketing. And I love the Tech space. Just the constant changing and the newness that technology allows you to learn because it always changes.

How to Choose Standard Deduction or Itemizing for Your Taxes

By Constant W. Watson III Defender Contributing Writer Most taxpayers claim the standard deduction when they file their federal tax return. However, some filers may be able to lower their tax bill by itemizing. Find out which way saves the most money by figuring taxes both ways. The IRS offers the following tips to help taxpayers decide: 1. Figure your itemized deductions.

Taxpayers need to add up deductible expenses they paid during the year. These may include expenses such as: Home mortgage interest State and local income taxes or sales taxes (but not both) Real estate and personal property taxes Gifts to charities Casualty or theft losses Unreimbursed medical expenses Unreimbursed employee business expenses Special rules and limits apply. Visit IRS.gov and refer to Publication 17, Your Federal Income Tax, for more details.

2. Know the standard deduction. If a taxpayer doesn’t itemize, then the basic standard deduction for 2016 depends on their filing status. If the taxpayer is: Single — $6,300 Married filing jointly — $12,600 Head of household — $9,300

· · · · · · ·

· · ·

FREE! ired

requ Tickets not

· Married filing separately — $6,300 · Qualifying Widow(er) — $12,600

If a taxpayer is 65 or older, or blind, the standard deduction is higher than the previous amounts. The deduction may be limited if the taxpayer can be claimed as a dependent.

3. Check the exceptions. There are some situations where the law does not allow a person to claim the standard deduction. This rule applies if the taxpayer is married filing a separate return and their spouse itemizes. In this case, the taxpayer’s standard deduction is zero and they should itemize any deductions.

Yogi Berra famously said, “Baseball is 90 percent mental; the other half is physical.” It’s a game of thinkers. You have to be able to quickly assess a situation, make accurate predictions, and take action.

Dana Phillips Goodum, CPA, CGMA, is a thinker. She’s not a baseball player, but she works alongside them and, in some ways, she strategizes like an MVP. Goodum is chief financial officer of the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority (ISFA), the developer, owner, and operator of Guaranteed Rate Field, the home of the White Sox, formerly known as U.S. Cellular Field and Comiskey Park. While working with the team that negotiated the Guaranteed Rate contract, she sweated the details.

“Our executive director brought me in at the last minute to do some vetting,” said Goodum. “I asked, ‘Did you think about this? What about this? What else do we have? What else do we need? You gotta tell me everything I need to know and then, you know, we have to make some suggestions.’”

Goodum says her job is to look at the whole picture to make ISFA grow. ISFA is a government agency, and what Goodum is most proud of is orchestrating a debt refunding of almost $300 million in bonds that resulted in present value interest savings of $16 million over the remaining life of the bonds. So what is the key to being a good negotiator?

“You have to do some research, just in case everybody’s not totally upfront with you. That’s the art. Knowing everything that they know and then possibly throwing in some additional things that you want. Sometimes it’s difficult to do,” said Goodum.

She’s excelled in the financial life of several notable companies. Among them, she served as comptroller at CNA Insurance and Arthur Anderson TALPX. At Carter & Carter International, she was instrumental in launching an initial public offering on the London Stock Exchange.

Among other achievements, as financial

Dana Phillips Goodum reporting manager, she managed the financial software systems conversion and the $1 billion McCormick Place South Expansion Capital budget at the Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority.

As Director of Finance at Navy Pier, she oversaw the planning and development of all financial operations and processes to launch Chicago’s landmark Navy Pier.

A South Sider for some time now with her husband, Juan, and stepson, Juan II, Goodum grew up in Indiana. Born to a mother who was an interior designer and a father who served in Vietnam, she moved on from Catholic schools to college at Notre Dame. Goodum has always enjoyed singing in her spare time. While at Notre Dame, she resurrected a disbanded Gospel choir that is still active to this day. And classically trained, Goodum won 10 Indiana statewide awards and was a vocalist on a jazz album by Reggie “Rajah” Helm called To Reach Your Pinnacle.

But baseball has always been a mainstay in Goodum’s life. While growing up, her grandfather, an avid baseball fan, would take the family to both Cubs and White Sox games. Now, she no longer has to travel far to catch a game — her office window view is Guaranteed Rate Field. That said, the numbers game is what she’s most passionate about.

“I always liked numbers. I come alive with numbers,” she recalls.

EDUCATION

CBC Fights Education Cuts as Consumer Coalition Attacks Regulatory Reversals CHARLENE CROWELL NNPA FINANCIAL WRITER

In releasing his first-ever federal budget blueprint, President Donald J. Trump stated that his intent was to “make the government lean and accountable to the people.”

A review of its proposals, however, might be better characterized as mean.

Proposed cuts of $54 billion annually will demand a series of sacrifices from those who have the least to give: lowand moderate-income families. From disadvantaged youth served by Job Corps centers across the country, to senior citizens trying to cope with financial constraints in what should be their golden years, the Trump budget proposal harms far more Americans than it helps.

Over the next few weeks, this column will explore many of the proposed funding cuts identified in the March 16 document.

For example, education has historically been the bridge to a better quality of life. Yet, the FY18 budget proposal would widen economic divides for some and

deepen societal divisions for others. Overall, the proposed funding reduction represents about 13 percent of the department’s current budget.

In response, both the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) and a diverse coalition of national and state organizations are standing up and speaking out. Education is proposed to lose $9 billion that includes $3.9 million from Pell Grant revenues that otherwise would have been carried over into FY18. Additionally, the popular Federal Work-Study program would remain, but only as a shadow of its former capacity – also due to more severe budget cuts.

On March 22, the 49-member Congressional Black Caucus met with Trump at the White House. In comments to the Associated Press before the meeting, Rep. Cedric Richmond of Louisiana, the CBC’s chair, said, “His budget is contrary to African-American interests in a number of ways, and it’s our role as policymakers to call him out on it.”

The CBC also prepared for the meeting a 128-page document titled, “We Have a Lot to Lose: Solutions to Advance Black Families in the 21st Century.” In its executive summary, the CBC wrote, “If President Trump is sincere in his interest in advancing the Black community, this document should be the guiding post of his

administration.”

Addressing recommendations affecting many departments and agencies, the CBC report terms proposed FY18 funding levels for HBCUs as “an inadequate commitment.”

It was only a few weeks ago that presidents of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) also had a high-profile White House meeting. It was touted as a new beginning to strengthen federal support for institutions that serve high percentages of minority students. Instead, the FY18 proposal would only continue – not raise – the current funding of $492 million.

The CBC report called for increased funding for HBCUs, Pell Grants and Title II that provide grants supporting local efforts to recruit and retain quality educators.

Student Protections On the same day, more than 50 organizations including Black and Latino civil rights groups along with consumer advocates, educators, labor, legal and veterans’ organizations united in a letter to Congress that called for better stewardship from the Education Department.

“We believe protections for students and taxpayers should be strengthened, not scaled back,” wrote the diverse coalition. “Veterans, low-income students and

students of color have been disproportionately harmed by predatory colleges.”

The Education Department’s budget blueprint would earmark $1.4 billion for ”school choice”: •A $1 billion increase for Title I funding that is hoped to encourage school districts to adopt a system of student-based budgeting and open enrollment that pays financial support for students to attend the public school of his or her choice; •$250 million for a new private school choice program; and •$168 million more for charter school funding.

These budget-shifting priorities become financially possible with severe cuts to eliminate: •$2.4 billion for the Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants program; •$1.2 billion for the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program that supports before- and after-school programs as well as summer programs; and •$732 million for the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program. continued on page 10

ENTERTAINMENT

Q&A with Chicago Filmmaker Rhyan LaMarr

By Mary L. Datcher Defender Arts & Entertainment Editor Chicago is a hotbed for multiple film productions taking place in the third-largest city in the country. It is often the backdrop in various television dramas and feature films, showcasing the city’s multiple layers of beauty and grit. The expansion of film programs at colleges and institutions such as Columbia College, DePaul University and the Illinois Institute of Art encourages students to make an actual living without relocating beyond their backyard.

Nearly 14 years ago, Columbia University graduate Rhyan LaMarr received his first big break on the set of Mr. 3000, starring fellow Chicagoan and late comedic legend Bernie Mac. Over the last few years, LaMarr has worked on multiple productions throughout his career, including feature films, music videos, reality television programming at Universal Music Group RCA Records, Sony and Bunim and Murray Productions.

In 2013, he formed Red Guerrilla Productions and Say Something Music, producing Restore Me, released in theaters the following year.

Now, he is back in his hometown to film Canal Street, an independent film based in Chicago with an ensemble cast that includes Empire actor Bryshere Gray, Harry Lennix, Yancey Arias, Lance Reddick and other notables. Currently in pre-production, with a cast of 70 actors and 57 Chicago-based talents, they are set to begin filming April 3 around the Chicagoland area.

The Chicago Defender sat down with the rising filmmaker. :Tell me about the production and what you found was the basis for your script? :The script was written in 2008.

Me and my writing partner wrote it in our transition to California. I was there in 2005, so it takes a couple of years to

really transition and get your feet on solid ground. As a storyteller, we like to pull from different stories that we experience.

It’s not one common story. Be careful of what you say around writers because we just put it in the back of our brain.

This was a film we thought was needed in 2008, but it’s 2017 now and it’s a timely piece. The cultural awry in America and interracial relationships within our race, the divide that we have depends on our social and economic class, upbringing and how you were raised. It all plays out in this film.

It all sets out on the stage of the law, and the judicial system.

It’s time for a film like this. The great thing, we’ve been allowed to utilize actors who have been blessed who have huge platforms. Normally, you have one or two actors of the high caliber. We have 12 actors and we’re still an indie film.

The actors liked the script so much that they jumped on it based on the script. :Did you use different companies out of Chicago to source out the cast and crew? Was it a Chicago-based production? :Marissa Ross is our casting director. She casts for all the local Chicago shows. :So, you’re providing jobs for folks here? :Yes, only 12 of our crew members are from outside of Chicago. Everyone else is from here. : Tell me about yourself. You’re a Chicago native? :I was born in Bloomington, Illinois.

My parents went to ISU. My mother grew up in Evanston and my dad grew up in East St. Louis. They met a college and I was blessed to be born (he laughs). We moved back to Evanston and lived there for a while until my parents split when I was in 3rd grade. My dad lived between the West Side and the South Side, and my mom lived in Park Ridge.

because none of my friends’ fathers stuck around and mine stuck around. He was always there even though my parents were no longer in a relationship.

I was growing up on different sides of the city, so I grew up to see a different type of world. I’ve always been an introvert, but because I’ve been blessed I could disguise it through creativity. I’ve been an outcast in a popular person’s body. I’ve always been into music, which is my number one passion, and I played sports. :Which high school did you attend? :Maine East High School, which was a very progressive trade school, but it specialized in fine arts.

I learned in high school and then honed my skills in college. I learned from Mr. Wonderlake. There’s 30 people in Hollywood who were taught by him. I met my producing partner, Chris Jennings, in high school. Now, he produces for the top television shows. :Do you consider your upbringing more privileged than others? :I think a lot people associate privilege with white people, but we’re all kind of privileged if you look at it from a standpoint of 60 years ago. We’re blessed in a lot of different ways.

Not everyone can move to the suburbs and not everyone can get out. You can’t look down on people. If you get the opportunity that I’ve been blessed with, I want to give the platform for others to follow their dreams. :How does the music in Canal Street align with the storyline? :Look at today’s music and it’s so diverse. Back in the day, if you wanted to get a song, you had to buy a record, physically. You couldn’t buy a Rock album, Rap, R&B or Gospel and only have $20 — that’s what you would buy. If you wanted to listen to all the genres, you needed a great deal of money. So, you’re kind of stuck.

that would end the years of using taxpayer dollars to fund career education studies that did not deliver what was promised while enriching private firms with taxpayer dollars.

“The Department of Education’s decision to extend deadlines under this rule sends a signal to schools with poor-performing programs that they may not be held accountable after all,” noted Robin Howarth, a senior researcher with the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL) who specializes in student lending. “Any weakening or reversal of the gainful employment rule puts students’ financial well-being at risk and reverses the progress that has been made in safeguarding taxpayer dollars from funding programs that fail students repeatedly.”

ployment rule. “Delaying, weakening, or repealing the gainful employment rule would lead to a new race to the bottom as unscrupulous schools compete to enroll as many students as possible without regard to the quality of training, the student’s preparation, or the job prospects,” wrote the coalition.

Also during the Obama Administration, departmental guidance ended fee collections from defaulted student loan borrowers. In recent days, DeVos took steps to begin fee collection again that can total up to 16 percent of a borrower’s loans – even if borrowers could fully repay their loans within 60 days.

“The student loan program exists to help students pay for their educations, not to trap them in debt,” said Whitney Barkley, a CRL policy counsel also specializing in student lending.

“Struggling student loan bor-

rowers who enter a rehabilitation program within 60 days of default should be given the chance to make good on their payments, not hit with excessive fees, “Barkley added. “By allowing these fees to be collected, the department has created a perverse incentive for student loan collectors, making borrowers in default more valuable than borrowers who are repaying their loans.”

For all of these reasons and more, I believe the American taxpayer deserves better from its federal government. Quality education is essential to our nation’s future.

The real bottom line: Every federal budget should help – not hurt – Americans.

Melissa Washington: Shining Light on Career, Family & Community

Melissa Washington greets Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle.

Melissa Washington

By Mary L. Datcher Defender Senior Staff Writer Melissa Washington has climbed her way throughout her entire career with a no-nonsense attitude of strength, self-confidence and steady resilience of faith. Her rise from working at an entry-level position in the AT&T call center, broadening her love for accounting and finance at Arthur Andersen to her current role at ComEd Exelon as the senior vice president of external affairs and large customer service — has brought her immense experience and clarity on her professional journey.

Having spent time in Washington, D.C., as Exelon’s VP of corporate affairs, she led the day-to-day outreach to various public policy makers. Prior to that role, she held the position of VP of regulatory policy and strategy, managing ComEd’s relationships with the Illinois Commerce Commission and its staff.

Hometown Roots

Having grown up in the quiet town of Joliet, just 44 miles southwest of Chicago — the second of four children raised by her working mother — she reflects on her nurturing upbringing.

“My mother raised us, single parent but the typical ‘it takes a village’ mentality. My grandparents were also helpful, so, when my mother would be at work, we would all go over to my grandparents’ house. It was kind of common place that me and my cousins would interact together,” she said.

Being the only girl among her brothers and male cousins, the love and closeness of her family provided a circle of confidence in her upbringing. She credits her mother as the beacon of what a role model should be to a young African-American girl growing up.

“When you think of where you are and what drives you, if I had to sit down and really reflect on it and probably think about the force my mother had on my life, I guess you can say she was my first role model,” Washington said.

“She was very strong and very determined. Even though I probably grew up with very humble beginnings, I can’t remember ever having a time where I didn’t receive what I needed. I’m sure we probably didn’t have much, but I didn’t realize that. Parents back then had a knack for making sure what kids needed the most was love and support, and that’s what I got.”

Throughout her grade school and high school years, Washington excelled academically with teachers noticing her gift for mathematics. As early as her 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Jackson, up to her junior high school teacher, Mrs. Washington, and eventually Ms. Fernando in high school — all encouraged her to live up to her true potential.

“It was always a given that college was in my future. When you go to school and get good grades, it’s a given that the teachers talk to you about it. You live up to those things.”

Graduating from Lewis University, earning her B.A. in Accounting and Finance, she later earned her MBA in the same field at Keller Graduate School of Management of DeVry.

Breaking the Glass Ceiling

Since her interest was in finance investment, it was more challenging to break into the field than she anticipated. The market had slowed down and she decided to work at AT&T once she graduated.

“Now, when I look at my career, the very first job I had in the call center, there

12 March 29 - April 04, 2017 • THE CHICAGO DEFENDER

was a supervisor, Diana. She basically said, ‘Melissa, you’re different. So, I’m going to support you to move you into something else.’ I moved to working in middle markets as an account manager, and networking led me to meeting someone else, who was in the accounting firm at Arthur Andersen,” she said.

One of the executives at the firm recommended Washington apply for a position at the company, which was considered one of the world’s most prestigious firms during the time.

“I’m a Black female working for this accounting firm. I reached management level before the firm folded, and I was on the track to becoming a partner had I stayed in that place,” she recalls of her experience.

“What I learned when I got into that firm was the number of people who were there with me were groomed to be there. I remembered vowing to myself, with whatever success or experience I received from being in that firm, I would make sure that I shared it with other people.”

Washington keenly understands the importance of corporations looking and investing in a great talent pool of potential executives.

“With those accounting firms, when you go into them, you learn and you get experience. Corporations know the degree and level of experience you receive working in those firms.”

Community and ComEd

In her current role, as one of the top-level senior executives at ComEd Exelon, she steps up taking over former and long-time executive Kevin Brookins’ position as a viable community liaison for the company.

“We realized that we are a partner in the community. It is our responsibility to make sure that there’s a level of civility in those communities, not just because they’re our customer base but also because that’s our employer base as well. Every single one of our employees in almost every community throughout our entire geographic region that we manage,” said Washington.

“This is why we invest in kids and ex-

pose them to STEM-stimulated careers.

Getting them excited about this type of career in letting them know it’s possible.

What I try to do is get out into the community, understand who is in the community and hear firsthand what’s going on.”

With highlighted programs such as CONSTRUCT, Solar Spotlight and the Icebox Derby STEM program, designed to encourage young girls to build interest in STEM-related studies, Washington strongly credits ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore for the company’s progressive vision.

“I have the support base behind me — with Anne, she gets it. When I come, and say, ‘Hey, this is what I see and this is a great opportunity to be supportive in the community and make a difference.’ I receive her encouragement, ‘Okay, sounds great and sounds like the exact right thing to do.’ Sometimes, where it gets challenging, you want to do more than what you really can.”

Over the years, the company has become aggressively more diverse in hiring people of color.

“We acknowledge where we are today being the result of a lot of planning, a lot of work and being deliberate in trying to grow that base where people can look and see not only people who reflect them in the company, but to see people who reflect them in the leadership.”

With a very busy work schedule, Washington takes time to enjoy weekend excursions with her husband, discovering great new restaurants, and bringing it all together through their strong spiritual foundation by attending early Sunday church service.

“We spend time talking about what we learned from our service. We spend time with our parents and then we spend time with each other.”
