“It used to be a good ole boy type situation my person experiences I haven’t seen that within the years that we’ve been here they’ve always treated me very respectfully Black or White [Cop] I told him that’s one thing that I am happy about being here because I don have to fear the police. So that makes me feel good. Somebody that’s out here to serve and protect I actually feel safe with them around.” Jerry agrees: Jerry “There’s no difference between APD and Henry Co Police. YOU Have good and bad in police, black people, white people. There’s no difference in people. Im sorry I m not trying to preach but its a spirit and spirit is color blind. Hate is hate it doesn’t matter what color you are.” Currently this modern middle class power couple has had to deal with negative press about their response to Covid 19 and mandatory mask mandates as they pushed for the mask mandate a better common sense safety precautions for their family and community. They went to school and saw no Social Distancing, no shielding So when you have children HAVE no protection Your feelings should not effect how we live. Jerry has Asthma and Kim has MS they both HAVE A 9 YEAR OLD AND KIMS MOTHER LIVES WITH THEM. SO the potential for Covid to devastate their family is very very real]. Swell Henry Co didn’t mandate masks and the virus spread very aggressively. They Knights are very pro mask and wanted to champion being pro mask. At a board meeting they weren’t letting the public talk. The Media outlets made it seem as though Kim was just an angry black woman screaming for Masks and protection. But her anger was in response to what was happening at the meeting.
Black Owned Investment Company Bucks The Trend on Traditional Investing and Turns $6K to $500K Atlanta, GA— A small investing firm is making major moves in the investment game. A black-owned investment firm, the organization is owned by a group of childhood friends who saw the lack of financial education in the community as disparaging as it looked. Sean McCray, Sr., Trevonza Bobbitt, Sr., and Tracy Adams joined forces to form Kountry Wall Street (KWS) to provide financial education to those who need it. Officially formed on August 5, 2020. It was created for the purpose of educating people who live in traditionally underserved communities, such as the one in which theygrew up, about financial literacy with an emphasis on stock market investing and credit education. They are an investment management group committed to assisting people in building generational wealth through credit and financial education. The world saw the birth of many businesses and virtual ventures during the pandemic, and the area of investments was no exception. With new ways to invest via apps like Robinhood, Cashapp, Acorns, and SoFi and a small cash flow through the government's care package, investing in stock and an eagerness to understand how to save and properly spend became the thought at the forefront of a lot of peoples mind. People didn't need help in knowing how to spend the money (evident through the amount new Amazon trucks you'll see in an area) but rather how to properly use it. Through their unique approach, KWS aims to complete just that.
As veteran’s of our armed services the couple doesn’t feel obligated o stand during the Nation Anthem and made these feelings known publicly during the meeting which turned into an anti Covid rally before their eyes. At that same meeting they saw they potential of violence becoming real because of screaming and shouting vs listening to each other and speaking honestly.Yet somehow Kim is seen as they aggressor during that event. Despite the failed attempts to attack Kim she still believes in open communication. Both Jerry and Kim were disappointed in the media coverage of the whole event.
"We have new and innovative investment strategies, and we also want to bring people who have been traditionally “locked out” of the investing arena into the fold. This includes younger investors, aging investors, and investors from all ethnic backgrounds. Our company is in the business of “Mindset Changing”. We do not subscribe to the notion of waiting until you are 62 – 67 years old to retire or working for thirty years to receive a retirement check which, if you are lucky, maybe equivalent to 60% of your working salary. We want to free people from their everyday 9 to 5 jobs and show them that they control their own destiny. There is a piece of pie for everyone," Tracy Adams, Co-Founder.
Yet that will not stop the power couple from creating their dream life in South GA!
