Ice Cube, Gary Payton and DeShawn Stevenson in Dallas

Garland Journal

The Big3 Week 6 in Dallas saw no shortage of drama, questions and the eventual growing pains associated with a new phenomenon: a missing player/coach, a legendary rap artist in the house, and a team remaining undefeated.

Literary giants headline Tulisoma Book Fair

Literary icons Sonia Sanchez and Haki Madhubuti will receive the Sutton E. Griggs Lifetime Achievement Award in Literature on Friday, August 25, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at the kick-off of the 14th Tulisoma: South Dallas Book Fair, at the African American Museum in Fair Park.

Co-Founder of Tulisoma, Dr. Harry Robinson, said he is excited that once again the book fair will be held. “We have an exciting line-up,� he said, adding that a sold-out crowd is expected for the event honoring Sanchez and Madhubuti. “Special thanks to Councilmember Kevin D. Felder for his dedication and support of this event.�

Sanchez formed a writers’ workshop in Greenwich Village, attended by poets Amiri Baraka, Haki R. Madhubuti, and Larry Neal. With Madhubuti, Nikki Giovanni, and Etheridge Knight, she formed the “Broadside Quartet� of young poets, promoted by Dudley Randall. She married and divorced Albert Sanchez, a Puerto Rican immigrant whose surname she has used when writing, and the poet Etheridge Knight, with whom she had three children. During the early 1960s she began to focus more on her Black heritage from a separatist point of view.

Sanchez was a pioneer in developing black studies courses at what is now San Francisco State University, where she was an instructor from 1968 to 1969. In 1971 she joined the Nation of Islam, but by 1976 she had left the Nation, largely because of its repression of women. Â Sanchez is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry, including Shake Loose My Skin: New and Selected Poems (Beacon Press, 1999); Like the Singing Coming Off the Drums: Love Poems (1998); Does your house have lions?

(1995), which was nominated for both the NAACP Image and National Book Critics Circle Award.

Sanchez has received many honors including: the Community Service Award from the National Black Caucus of State Legislators, the Lucretia Mott Award, the Outstanding Arts Award from the Pennsylvania Coalition of 100 Black Women, the Peace and Freedom Award from Women International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), the Pennsylvania

Dr. Harry Robinson Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Humanities, a National Endowment for the Arts Award, and a Pew Fellowship in the Arts. She has lectured at more than 500 universities and colleges in the United States and had traveled extensively, reading her poetry in Africa, Cuba, England, the Caribbean, Australia, Nicaragua, the People’s Republic of China, Norway, and Canada. She was the first Presidential Fellow at Temple University, where she began teaching in 1977, and held the Laura Carnell Chair in English there until her retirement in 1999.

Sanchez is a recent recipient (2001) of the Robert Frost medal in poetry, one of the highest honors awarded to a nationally recognized poet. One of the most important writers of the Black Arts Movement; Sanchez is the author of 16 books and lives in Philadelphia.

Madhubuti over the years has published 28 books (some under his former name, “Don L. Lee�) and is one of the world’s best-selling authors of poetry and non-fiction, with books in print in excess of 3 million. His Black Men: Obsolete, Single, Dangerous?: The African American Family in Transition (1990) has sold over 1,000,000 copies. His latest books are Claiming Earth: Race, Rage, Rape, Redemption (1994), GroundWork: New and Selected Poems 1966-1996 (1996), and HeartLove: Wedding and Love Poems (1998).

Besides co-founding a publishing company, Madhubuti is the co-founder of the Institute of Positive Education/

New Concept Development Center (established in 1969), and co-founder of the Betty Shabazz International Charter School (established 1998) in Chicago, Illinois. He is also a founder and board member of the National Association of Black Book Publishers, a founder and chairman of the board of The International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent, and founder and director of the National Black Writers Retreat.

Prior to stepping down from his position, Madhubuti held the position of Distinguished University Professor, co-founder and director emeritus of the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Literature and Creative Writing and director of the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at Chicago State University.

Madhubuti’s latest book, Yellow Black, is an autobiographical novel detailing the first 21 years of his life.

In December 1967, Madhubuti met with Carolyn Rodgers and Johari Amini in the basement of a South Side apartment to found Third World Press, an outlet for African-American literature. By 2007, the company continued, 40 years later, to thrive in a multimillion-dollar facility. Over the years, this press would publish works for Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gwendolyn Brooks, as well as Sonia Sanchez, Sterling Plumpp and Pearl Cleage.

Tulisoma, Swahili for “we read�, is a community-based festival promoting literacy and the art in the South Dallas/Fair Park area.

Founded in 2003, by the late Leo V. Chaney, Jr., and Dr. Harry Robinson, Jr. President and CEO of the African American Museum, the goal of Tulisoma is to create a dynamic event tailored to engage local families, avid readers, aspiring writers and visitors to the city.

The African American Museum serves as the lead partner along with the Dallas Public Library and many community supporters and sponsors to continue the tradition of celebrating reading and the importance of literacy. Tickets for the Award Dinner are $50.

76® gas stations opening in Metroplex One of several newly designed 76® gas stations opened its pumps at 2930 W. Irving Blvd., last Saturday and hundreds lined up in scorching heat beginning at 5:30 a.m. to attend the grand opening celebration from 9:00 a.m. to noon, and possibly be one of the first 100 attendees receiving regular unleaded gas at a discounted price – $0.76 per gallon.

The Irving location is one of many 76® branded stations in an aggressive growth plan to open new stations along the eastern and gulf coasts of the United States.

In addition to offering 76® customers with the discounted fuel offer for the first 100 vehicles, guests can play games for a chance to win gas cards, 76 branded items, family packs of FC Dallas tickets and many DeeJay Hot Rod was first in line at 5:30a.m. to take advantage of the gas giveaway

more prizes during the day’s celebration. The grand opening event coincides with the 50th anniversary of the beloved 76® antenna ball, a classic customer favorite.

“We are thrilled for the all-time classic 76® brand’s arrival to the Texas community,” said Gita Gidwani, 76 Brand Manager for Motiva Enterprises LLC. “With the new 76® station openings, we will be able to offer local residents another great fuel option in their neighborhoods.”

Sunday morning -- hours before he was supposed to be in Dallas for the game.

Since his disappearing act, Iverson has been suspended one game by the Big3, a league spokesman confirmed Wednesday.

Iverson - is a player/coach for the Big3's team, 3's Company - and a fan favorite at every stop. If Ice Cube is the "name" of the franchise, Iverson is definitely the "face" of the franchise and the athlete the majority of the ticket-buying public of the Big3 League comes to see.

Despite his absence in Dallas, the show went on and boy did it go on: among those spotted in the crowd enjoying the action was legendary rapper and actor L.L. Cool J, George "Ice Man" Gervin, 2011 NBA Champion (Dallas Mavericks) JetTerry, hip hop artist Trae the Truth and rapper Dorrough, who performed his hit ‘Ice Cream Paint Job’ at halftime of Game 4, and former NBA player Marquis Daniels.

Results: Trilogy (6-0) kept their perfect season alive with a 51-36 win over the Ghost Ballers. In a potential playoff preview that involved heated taunts back and forth, Trilogy pulled away in the second half behind a team effort that featured three players, Al Harrington, James White and Rashad McCants, with double figures in points.

Facing elimination from BIG3 Championship contention, 3’s Company and Killer 3s

both saved their seasons behind standout performances from Andre Owens and Stephen Jackson, respectively. 3's Company took the court on the brink of elimination with a 1-4 record and without Player/Coach and Captain Iverson.

Also of note was player/captain Chauncey Billups' return to the lineup for Killer 3s.

They put themselves in position to make a stretch run toward the Championship with a convincing 50-40 win over the Ball Hogs.

A fiery Stephen Jackson put the Killers 3s on his back with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. In his return to action, Billups drained a four-pointer as part of his eight points.

GAME 1: Killer 3s (2-4) defeats Ball Hogs (1-5), 50-40 Stephen Jackson – 23 points GAME 2: 3 Headed Monsters (5-1) defeats Tri State (1-5), 50-45 Rashard Lewis – 25 points GAME 3: Trilogy (6-0) defeats Ghost Ballers (3-3), 51-36 Mike Bibby – 17 points Ricky Davis – 13 points GAME 4: 3’s Company (2-4) defeats Power (4-2), 53-49 Andre Owens – 25 points Cuttino Mobley – 23 points for Power BIG3 Week 7 will bring professional basketball to college basketball’s iconic Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky. on Sunday, Aug. 6.

EDITORIAL/OPINION

PRICE to SCHUTZE: I’m not O.J.!!!

QUIT PLAYIN’

By Vincent L. Hall

Hey Jim, it’s your Brother John and I am not in any shape, form or figment of the imagination supported by or related to Orenthal James Simpson.

Among the unfortunate circumstances that found me visiting a friend in the emergency room was, being simultaneously summoned to read the latest issue of the Dallas Observer. And while I never read your publication or the Snooze as a general rule, I could not help but comment on your “story.� So much has changed since the days when you were at the Dallas Times Herald. Back

in the days when you and I were brothers in the revolution; but then again so few things have changed. And ultimately this type of one-sided, tunnel-vision, soft-attack journalism that sells papers, continues.

Generally I have always loved the way a “Schutze� piece can be appreciated more for its inference than investigation. It’s what you don’t say that makes me ponder. You play on words, captivate the audience and apparently that still makes you a staple. You have moved from the mastery of the “Accommodation� to the mediocrity of assimilation. Obviously, there is no solid market for real artistry these days.

Let me be forthright in taking this and every opportunity to thank and pay homage to the outstanding league of

lawyers that defended me and Ms. Fain. Dallas County and probably the State of Texas have never seen the coagulation of such a comp re h e n s i ve vein of legal talent.

And while you and most others are astounded by their handiwork, our weekly that turned to daily meetings over the last five years portended this or a similar outcome. All of the attorneys in this case were diligent, dutiful, and determined to get to the bottom of the facts‌When they got to the bottom‌the facts startled

them. There was no there, there!

They arrived to find the s a m e lack of evidence that the attorneys for the infamous Scottsboro Boys, Reuben “Hurricane� Carter, The Central Park Five, my former assistant, Joyce Ann Brown and the more than 20 men exonerated in Dallas County were greeted to. In each case the missing component was evidence.

Even in America, it helps

when you have defendants who are credible, credentialed, and courageous enough to stand before a judge and jury. We didn’t cop any pleas‌we did not call for anarchy against the system; we just stood on our faith.

We stayed “Prayed up so we wouldn’t be Preyed on!�  Well that’s all Jim, and let me apologize. Part of the sentiments in this letter was meant for a wannabee investigative reporter; a piece of Shipp named Brett over at Channel Eight, who is about as useless as carburetor on a Tesla.

Finally, and what I really want to convey to you is that I thank God for the attorneys that spent six years crafting our defense, the scores of volunteer law students who helped to dismantle some 7 million pages of evidence and

a judge who was fair and impartial. They sacrificed more in time and treasure than we could ever repay.

Now, more than ever before, I pray for men and women of all ages and races who find themselves like me; incapable of paying the price of competent, commensurate, legal representation. The “Price� of freedom in the American justice system can be quite expensive. I am grateful that I can still hold my head up and give my name rather than an inmate number.

I remain, and will forever be John Wiley Price. And for the record and in the spirit of Jay-Z’s latest release; I am not O.J.!!

Signed John Wiley Price Vincent L. Hall is an author, activist and award-winning journalist. John Wiley Price is a Dallas County (TX) Commissioner.

MALVEAUX: Black women will rise despite unequal treatment Lots of women’s organizations commemorate Equal Pay Day, which this year was

THE LAST WORD

By Dr. Julianne Malveaux April 5. It meant that women, in general, would have had to work all of 2016, and until April 5, 2017, to earn the same amount of money that a man earned in 2016.

Few will recognize July 31, 2017, which is the day by which African American women will have to work to earn the same money a man earned last year – seven extra months! A Latina woman will work until October, or nearly 10 extra months, to earn the same money a man earned.

I wonder about our “women’s coalitions� when majority women’s organizations, like the National Organization for Women, are silent for Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. Does it matter to them? Maybe not. It matters when they want to present a multiracial,

multicultural “united front� at a Women’s March, but less so at other times. The lesson, Black women, is a lesson some sisters raised in 1991, when Anita Hill testified in the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings. People had all kind of explanations for Hill’s testimony, most of them woefully wrong and viewed through a lens, darkly. Led by feminists Elsa Barkley Brown, Deborah King and Barbara Ransby, more than 1500 women raised enough money to pay for an ad in the New York Times on November 17, 1991. The ad, titled “African American Women in Defense of Ourselves� (AAWIDO), reminded Black women that no one should speak for us, except us. No one can be relied on to defend us, except us.

And no one can be depended on to celebrate us, but us. No one can lead advocacy for our equal pay, but us.

I’m not dismissing our allies – “woke� men of color, especially Black men, “woke� white women and other women of color. I’m just saying we can’t count on everybody to be woke. Evidence – was there an equal amount

of noise on Black Women’s Equal Pay Day? And in the Reign of Ignorance, there is likely to be even less noise, as the House Appropriations Committee has actually proposed defunding a program that

white man earns. Whatever we earn, it ain’t equal.

What we don’t know is how women fare inside some organizations. And you can’t dismantle pay discrimination without having the details of it. Under President Obama,

collects salary data from employers. Without the data, we won’t know the extent of pay discrimination. We know plenty now. We know that Black women earn 63 cents for every dollar paid to white men, compared to the 80 cents white women earn.

We know that Black women in Louisiana earn the least compared to white men, about 48 cents on the dollar!

In comparison, Black women in Missouri, Tennessee, Maryland and Pennsylvania earn 68 cents for every dollar a

the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission established requirements to provide pay transparency.

Businesses with more than 100 employees were required to start releasing salary data in March 2018. Of course, those who want to sweep pay discrimination under the rug argued that it would cost too much to collect the data. And now, the Republican Congress says that no resources may be used to collect this very necessary data.

It reminds me of the old folks

who used to say, “you don’t miss what you can’t measure�.

But we can measure the pay inequity, and we can see it in the quality of women’s lives.

We might not be able to point a finger at one company or another (Republicans are also likely to make class action lawsuits more challenging), but we have enough aggregate data to know that there is pervasive gender discrimination in the workplace, and that Black women shoulder an extra burden because of the intersection between race and gender.

Not only do African American women earn less, but we also catch more shade because of our skin color, because of who we are and what we represent. Former First Lady Michelle Obama has spoken out, though very gently, about the racism she experienced while in office.

At a recent gathering in Colorado, she spoke about the many “cuts� she experienced, and told the Denver Post that “The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut,� referring to comments about her looks, and especially those that

referred to her as “an ape�.

She said she was dismayed in “Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.�

When I read Michelle Obama’s comment, I thought about Dr. Maya Angelou and her classic poem, Still I Rise.

One stanza reads, “You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise.�

Black women endure unequal pay, disrespectful treatment (consider the treatment of Senator Kamala Harris, or Congresswomen Maxine Waters), police beatings, and more.

And yet we are still here.

And yet, “when they go low, we go high�.

And yet, like air, we rise.

He likes to shock, say or

TRUTH TO POWER

By Rev. Jesse Jackson tweet outrageous things, prove that he’s not just another politician.

But now he is president; his words have impact, and his posturing can be dangerous.

Last week, he essentially endorsed police brutality before a gathering of police officers in Long Island: “When you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, and I said, ‘Please don’t be too nice.’ �

His remarks received significant applause, but hours later the Suffolk County Police Department issued a statement making it clear that it “will not tolerate roughing up of prisoners.�

The cries of Baltimore’s Freddy Gray, of Amadou Diallo, Manuel Loggins Jr., Ronald

Madison, Kendra James, Sean Bell, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Alton Sterling and many more could be heard from their graves.

Each was a black man or woman who died at the hands of police.

Trump’s words are not simply bluster; his Attorney General Jeff Sessions is intent on turning them into policy.

Sessions has scorned the Obama administration’s efforts to review police misconduct and to forge consent agreements on reforms with police departments from Chicago to Baltimore.

He spreads the myth that reform handicaps law enforcement.

In a nation that locks up more of its people than any in the world, he’s instructed U.S. attorneys to seek the harshest penalties available for those found guilty of violating the law.

Over the last decade, from Ferguson to Chicago to New York to Baltimore, our cities have witnessed major demonstrations and more in response to police brutality.

violent, civil disobedience — put police reform on the national agenda.

We began to see a bipartisan consensus emerging around sentencing reform, closing down privately owned for-profit prisons and reforming police practices from body cameras to community policing.

This reform consensus was emerging because police brutality not only tramples individual rights; it also impedes community law en-

forcement.

It breeds anger and cuts off community cooperation.

Police become seen as occupiers, not allies.

The poorest neighborhoods in our urban areas are tinderboxes; too often, it is police brutality that sets

them afire.

The Obama administration’s 13-month review of Chicago’s police force was completed just before Trump was inaugurated. It praised

of police in Chicago.

Trump and Sessions disagree. They think, as Trump put it, that the laws “totally protect the criminal, not the officers. ‌ (Officers are) in

the “diligent efforts and brave actions of countless� officers, and paid tribute to the tough task

more jeopardy than (criminals) are. We’re changing those laws.�

This displays an utter ignorance of the reality of police misconduct and its victims.

It is also dangerous. It gives a green light to those who would trample basic rights and mocks those who follow the laws.

It encourages departments to turn a blind eye to their own practices.

In Newark, a consent decree reform agreement led to a dramatic reduction in crime. Its monitor, Peter Har-

vey, said reform helps police do their jobs. “Remember, it’s the community that helps you police,�

Harvey said. “Very few cities have enough cops to patrol a city 24-7 effectively, 12 months a year.

You need the community to help you.� And the community won’t help if you “place community residents in chokeholds where they die, and then turn around and say, ‘Well, we want to be your friend.’ Those are inconsistent messages.�

Frustrated in Washington, Mr. Trump likes to rouse his base in speeches like that in Long Island.

But these words are trouble, and his policies are worse.

Across America, police reform is long overdue.

What Trump and Sessions make clear is that, as long as they are in office, it will have to come from the bottom up, in the face of dangerous delusions at the top.

By Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson Innovations in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields drive our economy and produce products and services that touch all of our lives. While the size of the STEM workforce is growing at an exponential rate, the growth in diversity of STEM professionals remains stagnant.

As Ranking Member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, finding ways to encourage students of all backgrounds to study and enter STEM fields has been a priority of mine.

A major factor contributing to the lack of underrepresented minorities and women in STEM is insufficient early access and engagement in schools.

Students often miss out on opportunities and programs due to poor outreach in their communities. Lack of engagement leaves students unaware of the possible career choices in these fields.

Because of the rapid growth in the STEM workforce, we must ensure everyone is aware of opportunities where they can share their talent and skills. And I will continue to advocate for more diversity and representation of women and minorities in STEM careers.

It is imperative that exposure to STEM education start at a young age. Fortunately, Dallas offers many camps and programs for students interested in STEM. Dallas ISD’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Department offers multiple free camps throughout the summer for children of all ages, and any high school student who is especially interested in STEM can apply to Dallas ISD’s School of Science and Engineering at Yvonne A. Ewell Townview Center.

Several other local universities also offer programs for young aspiring innovators. The University of Texas at Dallas offers coding camps throughout the year, and Southern Methodist University hosts programs for promising engineers and mathematicians.

By cultivating and nurturing young students from many different communities, we can be confident that we will see more diversity in STEM fields in the years to come.

Ever since I was first elected to the Texas State House, I have dedicated my career to bringing attention to these issues and the advancement smart policies to address them.

While in Congress, I have introduced the STEM Opportunities Act that would increase diversity in STEM in colleges and universities, enrich our STEM workforce and create more role models for female and minority students much earlier in the pipeline.

More recently, I cosponsored a bi-partisan bill, H.R.3316, the Code Like a Girl Act of 2017.

This bill, introduced by my colleague Congresswoman Jacky Rosen (D-NV), requires the National Science Foundation to support education and research projects to increase the participation of early elementary and even pre-K school girls in coding and other computer science lessons and activities.

Research shows that elementary school boys are more likely to take a computer science class than elementary school girls.

We must start early if we are going to increase the participation of women and minorities in STEM. The U.S. Department of Commerce notes that women make up only 24 percent of the STEM workforce, though women account for half of the general workforce in the United States. New faces and ideas in this field will undoubtedly lead to new innovation in the STEM disciplines.

Every September in Washington, D.C., I host a Science and Technology Braintrust at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference in order to educate youth about the opportunities in STEM. Last year, at the 24th Annual Science and Technology Braintrust, I addressed the importance of diversity in the STEM professions.

This year, we hope to engage a robust discussion on how to build careers in STEM and identify resources for students made available by various businesses.

I am very hopeful to see so many young girls and minority students take on an interest in these fields. I am confident they will grow to become some of our greatest innovators.

To maximize positive change, it is our duty to expand and transform the STEM field to include more diverse students.

I pledge to continue my work on educating and diversifying the future generation of STEM scholars.

By Dr. Felicia N. Shepherd When some think of a William Shakespeare play, high school English class comes immediately to mind. There’s that sense of hesitancy of not understanding the content because of the Old English language, though.

However, the message of love, lust, jealousy, etc. tends to resonate throughout the story even though the reader may not completely understand the language.

When you hear that Lady Macbeth is a movie, the same thoughts may arise in your thought process. Well, be not dismayed.

This movie, inspired by William Shakespeare’s 1607 Lady Macbeth, is adapted from the 1865 Russian novella Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk by Nikolai Leskov.

The themes from the plays carried over to the film adaptation consisted of the subordination of women in society, life in a rural community, and the showing of a passionate elicit love affair.

The dialogue between the characters is the Standard English instead of the Old English language. So the audience will be able to sit back and enjoy.

Even though the movie was based off of a Russian play, I could not help but think of two quotes from Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth when viewing the movie.

As I was viewing the movie, “Screw your courage to the sticking place” and “Out damn spot” came into my mind as I began analyzing the movie.

Katherine, played by Florence Pugh, is stuck in a loveless marriage during the 19th century in England.

As we know, women during that time period were to obey and serve their husbands.

Well, Katherine was not that woman. She balances subtly with defiance in regards to her “wifely duties.”

Florence Pugh delivers a performance that is engaging and thought provoking.

When it came to screwing her courage in the sticking place, to get what she wanted, Lady Katherine was bold to say the least.

Along with Pugh, this cast showcased a well-rounded group of up and coming actors and actresses in the British film industry.

Anna, played by Naomi Ackie, is a Black British actress who played the maid to Katherine.

Anna is the closest person to Katherine, which means she is keenly aware of all

Katherine’s activities within and outside the castle walls.

Watch the dynamics unfold between these two women.

As this movie continues my other quote, “Out damn spot” comes to mind.

When Katherine wants something she will remove anything and anyone from “the spot” to get what she wants.

As you watch it, determine how many spots you see in this film.

This movie will leave you saying, “I got questions!”

I encourage taking a group of movie lovers with you.

Then afterwards, enjoy a beverage at your local coffee shop and discuss.

Dear Alma, I can’t give you all the details, but let’s just say my boyfriend is doing something that makes a lot of money, but it’s illegal. If he gets caught, “we” could go to jail.

I love him and I’ve always supported him.

He was there for me when I didn’t have anyone and helped me financially complete my degree and purchase my condo.

I don’t want to leave him now that I’m gainfully employed, but I do worry about him getting caught.

Jarvis Christian Enactus Team wins National Title Hawkins, TX – Jarvis Christian College’s Enactus Team surpassed 39 competing universities from around the country to win the first-place national title in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s “Students for Health” Project Competition.

The grand prize was recently awarded at the Enactus USA National Expo in Kansas City, Missouri, before an audience of more than 3,000 corporate executives, educators and students.

Jarvis students participating include Brian Alexander, Wendon Blair and Carlos Villareal. Ches Talley is Jarvis Enactus Team adviser.

Sometimes I feel like I’m living a double life.

Now that my feet are firmly planted and I’m making a good salary, I would like for him to go legit, but he’s not having it.

He says the money’s too good. How can I get him to see, we can leave that life and do well and have a good life?

Who you think you’re fooling? You’ve been in this from the jump.

Your degree won’t prevent you from serving

Honestly girl, if your Mr. Do Right is doing wrong and you know it and support it, you’re Mrs. Do Wrong your dang self.

Dear Down for My Man, Some people will sell their soul for a diamond-crusted, fried bologna sandwich, while others will work hard, all day long at doing what’s right. The road to righteousness is long, undoubtedly unfair and ruthlessly rough. The sidewalk leading to half-baked shenanigans won’t let you stand up on a slippery slope. You have to decide

time. You can’t dissect, analyze and redirect this negative into a positive now, because you’re getting an authentic paycheck. Get yourself out of this mess, before it’s too late.

When it all comes crumbling down, and it will, you’ll be on your way to lock down, for love’s sake. Here’s my question to you: Is it worth it?

The “Students for Health” Project Competition provided an opportunity for Enactus teams, through a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, to implement initiatives to improve the health and wellness of the communities surrounding their respective universities.

The Jarvis Enactus health initiative targeted the high childhood obesity rate in East Texas by introducing achievable actions that food insecure families can take to make healthier nutritional choices.

The team’s innovative project included “Pop-Up Gardens in Burlap Sacks” combined with the USDA’s “Grow It, Try It, Like It!” Nutrition kits.

Jarvis Christian College partnered with the Tyler Head Start Program with 10 sites taking part in the health initiative.

Dawn Parnell, with Tyler Head Start, stated, “We were honored to be invited to participate in this program. Teaching the parents and children about nutrition and healthy lifestyles can put children

on a trajectory of intellectual development and academic success.”

The award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation will enable Jarvis Christian College to further expand the initiative across East Texas.

Quiana J. Lewis, with the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation, stated, “The Foundation is committed to fostering a climate of nutritional health and wellness.

Working with Enactus, we are able to engage the brightest minds on university campuses from around the country to help solve the issues facing society.

“We were extremely impressed by the project that Jarvis Christian College presented and are pleased to support their effort.”

This is the third consecutive year Jarvis Christian College has placed in the National Enactus USA Expo and the first time winning a national title.
