CulSire brings awareness and preservation of Black culture to the masses while nurturing the desire for more social, economic and community prosperity. We provide an online forum for all matters relating to business, finance, employment, news, politics, history, health, education and much more. CulSire shines a positive and inspiring light on our successes which tend to go unnoticed in mainstream media.
CulSire is where #BlackLifeStories are told. Your home for the narrative that describes living with melanin. A place that encompasses all aspects of our journey - celebrating our accomplishments and offering solutions for our shortcomings. Exposing our potential and providing a blueprint for future generations, while following the examples of our ancestors. Good, bad or indifferent, CulSire is where #BlackLifeLives. www.CulSire.com
We strive to be the largest online network of entrepreneurs, businesses, resources, services, and information impacting Black people across the nation and around the world. CulSire is the ultimate merger of networks providing access to knowledge that influences a broader audience. We also highlight resources promoting Black organizations, conferences/conventions, networking opportunities and events helping to provide professional and personal growth. But it starts with YOU! Utilize our resources, add to them, share with your family, friends, and colleagues, and then watch as WE grow‌ together. The Slogan ~ Where Culture Meets Desire: CulSire is the intersection of our Black culture and our desire to prosper. The combination of understanding our heritage (who we are), our origin (where we come from), and what we want for the future. The crossing of our resilience, our struggle, our hustle, and our strength as a people with the desire to obtain the rights to everything that has already been fought for (equality, prosperity, education, employment, etc.). CulSire ~ Where Culture Meets Desire
Mission
The mission of CulSire is to be the ultimate search engine for the Black community, by taking the vastness of the global world and scaling it down to information that impacts our communities across the nation. We strive to educate, elevate, and empower people of color by providing a collision between our cultural distinction and our desire for continuous excellence.
Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas ... This has been a year of transformation for us at CulSire and the world. In this last year, we have seen our social media numbers grow, the engagement on the website grow, and our audience and brand grow. We couldn’t have done it without our followers, the community, and those that want to bring a positive image back to our community. On a personal note, in the past few months of this year I’ve lost a sister and turned 40. Both were life changing moments for me. I lost my sister 5 days before my birthday. I couldn’t have gotten through either without the love and support of my CulSire family. I appreciate how the CulSire audience shows up and wraps their arms around me whether I’m launching something new, going through it personally, or asking for support for a movement. I truly believe, we have created something special in the network of people that are connected to CulSire. You can expect to see us as a bigger, better, stronger CulSire in 2017. In March we’ll be celebrating our 3 Year Anniversary. As a gift to us, we had the website redesigned and will be launching that in January, along with the CulSire store and its products. We’ve listened to our followers and we’re bringing back the CulSire Cypher on our YouTube channel and we’ll be hosting and sharing more events throughout the country. Our goal is to create more opportunity for engagement, community building, economic empowerment and change. With your help and support, we can do that. But it’s going to take all of us. I thank you for sharing, tweeting, and liking our posts across all our various platforms. We could not grow, or reach the masses without your assistance.
However, I’d like to challenge you, in this new year, to get more involved in what is happening in our community on a personal, local level. Don’t just take a stance on issues via social media. Be a part of the change that we seek. Do your part by showing up for the non-profit organizations that need mentors, make donations to those less fortunate than you, give your time to help educate those that need the information you have, or volunteer for an organization that needs feet on the ground. We are the change we seek. We are a resilient people. We are the dream and the hope of our ancestors, and our time is now! CulSire is a funnel. We are a vessel that changes the conversation through positive imagery, messaging, and reinforcing community. We thank you for believing in what we do and partnering with us to continue doing what we do. Without you, there could be no us. It is very humbling to know that we are not alone in the pursuit of black excellence, while giving our account of #blacklifestories. We all we got … and that’s more than enough.

The Black Manifesto
W
e, declare that this public declaration is our bold, somewhat rebellious call to action. This statement of principles challenges our assumptions, fosters our commitment, and provokes change. The future of our people depends on what we do this very moment. It’s no longer fashionable to be indifferent to poor (or brown) people suffering. It’s no longer fashionable to be indifferent to injustice and oppression. It’s no longer fashionable to be indifferent to the blood shed on our streets. It’s no longer fashionable to be indifferent to global white supremacy. It’s no longer fashionable. 1. The Black Family The family is the staple of the Black community and the most valuable asset we possess. Rebuilding our families is imperative to the forward movement of the community. The Black Family consists of two or more people who are committed to love, appreciate and support each member of the group. Dedicated to the concerted effort to build, uplift and unify within the nucleus - strengthening the core which expands beyond the family and into the community. As members of a Black Family, we manifest: • To restore the Black man to his rightful place as the King of the household, husband to his Queen and father of his children - securing positive imagery and an example for future generations. • To view Black women as the Queens they are, with integrity, perseverance and a sass that no other
woman walking the face of the earth has. • To fight negative stereotypes in our community and around the world which is fueled by reality television and mainstream media. • To strengthen relationships through conversation, understanding and open dialogue about the issues that keep us apart. • To provide solutions and strategies that will help build the bridge that will help us find our way back to each other. 2. The Black Community The Black community has traditionally been referred to and operated as a harmonious village. It is a group of individuals linked by lineage. The village is responsible for growth, leverage and legacy; passing on wisdom and pushing for prosperity. As members of the Black community, we manifest: • To work together as a unified group to rebuild our community to mirror the example of successful Black communities of our past. Coming together as individuals and organizations to see our community be successful, strong and thriving. • To set aside differences and self-serving agendas. • To internalize the mantra, “all for one, and one for all.” • To develop an undeniable oneness with the community.
3. Black Economics Black economics is the process of procuring assets in an effort to declare REAL independence and ensure a safe and secure environment for future generations. As Black innovators, business owners, workers and consumers, we manifest: • To build businesses and create jobs in our community to promote community development • To lower our unemployment rate • To increase the average median household income • To support the growth and expansion of business in our community • To buy property • To save our historical sites • To donate to the campaigns of political figures that represent us • To support Black businesses • To raise financially conscious children • Live beneath my means to build savings for the future. 4. Education Knowledge is power and the truth overrides all other matters of storytelling. Knowledge tells us who we are as a people. Truth shared by community elders and professional educators teaches our youth about their ancestors who were royalty, inventors, entrepreneurs, scientists and
beyond giving our community, and the world, a true representation of who we are. Sharing this truth with society, our youth and future generations will create strong legacies. As individuals dedicated to the transfer of knowledge and truth, we manifest: • To educate from a historical perspective • To encourage ownership, as opposed to an employee mentality, and fill in the gaps that will prepare our youth for success • To mentor whenever possible • To challenge mainstream academia and encourage creative thinking from our youth 5. Black Wellness The ongoing effort to educate and empower each other from birth to the grave through information that restores and heals our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. Black wellness is the foundation of our effectiveness. We must be WELL to love, grow, prosper and educate. As individuals dedicated to living well, we manifest: • To educate ourselves about the pros and cons of what we ingest • To getting annual check-ups and well-woman/wellman appointments with a health professional • To exercise regularly • To get an understanding of our family’s health history and pass that information on to our children

Five things to do with the time you’ll save by online shopping this season! The holidays are here again and it’s time for the hustle, bustle, exhaustion, frustration, and everything else that comes with spending weeks in crowded stores trying to get those perfect gifts. The stores are a mess this time of year; and the mega online sites have gotten just as bad. I’ve spent hours clicking pages looking for the perfect thing, comparing prices, just for it to crash when I add to cart. If you don’t have times for that, you need the ultimate shopping experience that you get with online boutiques. Boutiques offer specialized curated selections, fast friendly personalized service, the latest styles, unique gifts ideas, and the best benefit of all you’ll SAVE PLENTY OF TIME. I’ve already got a list of all the things we can enjoy this season when we’re NOT in those malls. 1. Get our hair done. Why wait until the last minute, while everyone else is at the mall we’ll be in the chair. 2. Get our nails done. Even if you miss a person on your list many boutiques offer mobile friendly shopping, so you can still get the extras while enjoying your pedicure. 3. Spending time with friends. Don’t miss girl’s night out because you’re at the mall fighting for parking. Log on and finish your list all before happy hour. 4. Go work out. Stop saying you’ll start back up after the new year, a few clicks and your shopping is done before Zumba class.
5. Take a nap. Yeah, I said it. We’re adults, we still take naps, and we love it. Instead of waking up at 5 a.m to be at the stores, go back to bed online boutiques are open 24/7 so they’ll be up when you are, not the other way around. These are just 5 of the ways I’ll be spending my time this season. What will you be doing? If you’re ready to take charge of your time and your shopping list this season.
