Atlanta’s first Black mayor honored by city

nside Atlanta City Hall lies the Marvin S. Arrington, Sr. Council Chamber, named after one of Atlanta’s influential leaders in government, the late Marvin Arrington, Sr. Inside of that chamber Monday afternoon another Atlanta legend was honored for his legacy as the groundbreaking first Black Mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Holbrook Jackson, Jr. Though Jackson died 20 years ago this past June, the anniversary of the first of his three terms as Atlanta’s mayor began when he was elected October 16, 1973.

Atlanta City Councilman Michael Julian Bond, the son of the late Civil Rights leader, Georgia State Senator and state representative, who was a close friend of the former mayor, presented a proclamation to Jackson’s widow, Valerie Jackson. Surrounded by current Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, former members of the Jackson administrations, family and friends, and members of the city council, Bond said, “All of us are here today because of the work Maynard Jackson did in the city of Atlanta.”

A large part of Jackson’s legacy as mayor of Atlanta is the work he did to bring equity to the City of Atlanta’s workforce and business community. Under Jackson the Atlanta Police Department hired and promoted more Black officers, the construction industry also became more competitive for Black businesses due to Jackson’s insistence that a growing Atlanta get construction contracts in their hands. That level of leadership was more about action, said his wife.

“He was about the book, ballot and the buck,” she said, referring to the need for better education, voting and business opportunities for all Atlantans. “Without those three no city could make it.”

Jackson’s work getting a major airport built in Atlanta throughout his first and second mayoral terms is his most famous physical contribution to Atlanta. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which had Jackson’s name added following his untimely and premature death in 2003, is the country’s busiest airport, according to data compiled by Afar.com.

“It’s not that he built the airport, it was the way he built the airport,” said Bond.

Dickens made a point to mention he is the seventh consecutive Black mayor of Atlanta and how that streak began with Jackson 50 years ago. “Isn’t this a great day to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the election of a gi-

ant,” said Dickens of the former mayor being celebrated. “It’s a powerful legacy that he has. He knew that by becoming the first Black mayor of a major city in the south we could not continue business as usual.”

That business wasn’t always supported by the masses in the beginning, but quickly became the Maynard way.

“He was able to walk a very tough line of continuing Atlanta’s prosperity and broadening Atlanta’s prosperity,” said Atlanta City Council President Doug Shipman of Jackson. “In many ways Maynard Jackson is an important extension of the Civil Rights Movement.”

There will be a number of celebrations and discussions on Jackson’s tenure as mayor and the 50th anniversary of his inauguration in January 2024, according to Dickens.

“We need to make sure people are educated about Maynard,” added Dickens. “He led by example.”

Bond read the proclamation and gathered everyone for a group photo around Mrs. Jackson. Wiping away tears, she said, “God, I loved that man.”

She shared that she remembered other mayors calling her husband to ask advice about getting projects through the bond process and the red tape that sometimes

slows highways and airports from being built.

The election of Maynard Jackson as Atlanta’s first Black mayor wasn’t unique.

There had been a Black man elected to run a major American city before him. Carl Burton Stokes was elected as Cleveland’s mayor on November 7, 1967, becoming the first of his kind. Jackson’s election was somehow different though, says his wife, who was living and working in New York City when that fateful day on October 16 became a reality.

“It was an election that awakened Black people all over the country,” said Mrs. Jackson.

CEO talks wealth-building for Black single mothers

BY JANELLE WARD Aisha Nyandoro was one of eight speakers to address a full crowd at TedX’s threeday TEDWomen 2023 conference Thursday afternoon, hosted inside the Woodruff Arts Center in Midtown.

In her 13-minute lecture, the founder and CEO of Springboard to Opportunities spoke about her nonprofit work with poverty-stricken families in Mississippi and the importance of having access to cash when building and sustaining personal and generational wealth.

Based out of Jackson, Springboard to Opportunities connects families in need to programs and resources designed to assist those struggling financially in the state, particularly those residing in federally subsidized affordable housing.

Nyandoro said that these families, often led by single Black women, commonly lack

the liquidity necessary to afford resources outside of basic necessities, including emergency expenses like car repairs that would prevent them from holding a job in the first

place. To respond to this need and accelerate the organization’s progress, Nyandoro also founded the Magnolia Mother’s Trust in 2018, an initiative that grants $1,000 monthly to qualifying single mothers for a year.

Nyandoro said that $12,000 annually can be a life-changing amount of money for matriarchs accustomed to stretching a restricted income to cover basic necessities, wants and personal emergencies. The program benefits Black women breadwinners mentally, emotionally and financially by giving single mothers a guaranteed income to help care for their families and ensure financial stability between pay periods.

“We provide $1,000 monthly for 12 months for Black women,” Nyandoro said. “And our goal is still to provide these women with the breathing room they need by giving them the financial resources they need to dream a little bigger.”

The Magnolia Mother’s Trust is the first modern guaranteed income program in the United States, as well as the first in the world to center its efforts on supporting Black women specifically. “(The monthly stipend) allows you to take care of the practical needs, like getting your car repaired, but it also allows you to shift your reality from scarcity to abundance; from tunneling to imagination; from scraping by to genuine opportunity,” Nyandoro said.

Aside from offering monetary assistance, Nyandoro said the program also allows struggling mothers to reshape their definition of wealth from one grounded in survival to one that is based around financial freedom and the well-being of their families.

“Black women have ushered in a movement, and it has been beautiful,” Nyandoro said. “But it is just the start.”

ducation is the cornerstone of democracy, and right now, it’s under attack.

In September, the Center for Democracy and Technology released a new report exposing public schools in the U.S. for filtering and blocking LGBTQ+ and race-related content at higher rates than other texts. From limiting lessons on Black history to banning books with LGBTQ+ characters, it comes as no surprise that LGBTQ+ and Black students are feeling less safe at school.

According to GLSEN’s National School Climate survey, 82% of LGBTQ+ youth reported feeling unsafe in school — and these censorship laws only cause more harm to Black queer students, who are already some of the most marginalized and excluded youth in our nation.

For example, school officials in Metro Atlanta’s Forsyth County canceled two talks by a children’s book author last month after he used the word “gay” in a presentation to elementary school students about the history of a superhero character. Fear of parental backlash is now so severe that administrators would rather cancel literary discussions than subject students to the word “gay.”

This came one year after the same county removed eight books from its school libraries, including Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye,” a novel depicting the ways in which internalized white beauty standards have impacted and distorted the lives of Black girls and women.

These book bans overlap with the so-called “Don’t Say Gay” laws and the anti-critical race theory attacks on Black students and other students who come

from communities who experience marginalization. History often repeats itself, and removing opportunities for these students to learn from our past only sets them further behind their peers who are not fearful of the pages in front of them.

So what can we do when school districts are signaling to LGBTQ+ and Black students that they don’t belong and are refusing them equal representation in a facility that is meant to foster a nurturing learning environment?

As a collective, we must rise up and educate our youth about the diverse and complex life experiences of the citizens of our world so that our next generation of leaders can live and act powerfully within that world.

When school districts first started banning LGBTQ+ books, GLSEN responded and launched the Rainbow Library. Since 2019, GLSEN has provided more than 56,000 LGBTQ+ affirming books to 5,800 schools in over 30 states, reaching over 5.3 million students.

When Florida passed its “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, GLSEN partnered with local organizations to ensure that over 70 million people saw LGBTQ+ supportive billboards across the state encouraging residents to “say gay.”

When the College Board sided with white supremacy, GLSEN joined the Freedom to Learn coalition, an organization promoting universal access to books and educational resources for all communities regardless of race, economic status, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or political affiliation. Through our collaboration, we were able to petition with thousands of signatures opposing censorship of Black history.

And now, in response to the over

650 bills that have been proposed to turn hateful anti-LGBTQ+ ideology into law, GLSEN is Rising Up to support LGBTQ+ youth.

As our most vulnerable demographic faces unimaginable battles, we simply cannot afford to give in and become complacent.

As adults, it is our job to model the future for the next generation — and it should be a world that is more accepting and understanding than the one we grew up in.

Our youth deserve to grow up in a society free from prejudice, that celebrates diversity rather than punishes them.

We know that an inclusive school curriculum acts as a window for young people into the diverse world around them, as well as a mirror to reflect their own experiences and identities.

By removing diverse texts from schools, students are no longer privy to the multitude of different perspectives that literature provides.

Politicians have chosen to withhold students’ access to ed-

ucation and history; limit their rights; and stifle their opportunities to participate in our multiracial democracy. We as a country have done a great disservice to our future leaders.

Learning to understand and respect different people of different backgrounds prepares students to be active and participatory members of our society and to be stronger leaders for equity and progress.

As we continue to face anti-democratic attacks on learning and truth, we must empower supportive school leaders, educators, and staff to act as guardians of our democracy, and we must ensure that school communities are sites of safety, connection, power and ultimately, liberation.

Voices SPIRITUALLY SPEAKING

Is Your Faith Tricked, Treated or Inoculated?

BY JAMES A. WASHINGTON

The Atlanta Voice

You know, I’ve got to give it to the devil. He truly is as slick as they come.

It is my understanding that he has some power in this physical world and what amounts to zilch in the eternal kingdom of heaven.

Hence, he has an advantage when it comes to orchestrating the events of this world in order to accomplish two very important things to him; things that we should all be aware of.

One, I believe, is to get us to believe he doesn’t exist. Two, is to show us a perspective on this world that leaves God entirely out of the equation.

Now, I don’t know which one is more damaging.

But to think the devil doesn’t exist is extremely dangerous and to further believe that God is not an integral part of life is spiritual suicide.

As in the Parable of the Sower, we learn this reality…”Some people are like seeds along the path where the Word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the Word that was sown in them.”

(Mark 4:15) This entire parable speaks to how

“If you hold to my (Jesus) teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

life, its worldly seductions, its substance-less illusions about acquiring wealth and desire for personal gratification, can obscure the truth contained in the Word of God. Can you imagine being tricked out of what rightfully belongs to you because you didn’t know it was yours in the first place?

Now, underscore that with the belief that the person doing the tricking is actually someone who doesn’t really exist.

If we succumb to either point of view (belief in God or not), then we proceed through life guaranteeing that the Word of God will bear no fruit in us.

Hence, it is impossible for us to have the kind of life which God intends for us. I believe many of us, me included, spend far too much time and energy relying on the lies of Satan in a world that measures success by the weight of one’s wallet, rather than by God’s divine will.

Our struggle is one where we

must first be the soil made ready to produce a crop. Our challenge is to be prepared to hear the Word. The intent is to bear fruit.

By bearing fruit, I mean we should spread the Word, pollinate the lives of others with the reality that evil is real and walks and talks and lives and breathes in this world today.

More importantly, we have been seeded with the secrets revealed to us in the life and death and life of Jesus Christ. He is the key to our salvation.

The question, then, is what do you believe in? Your world becomes defined by the answer to that simple but very important question.

Belief in God obviously, necessitates a belief in the devil and fortifies and insulates you against the evil in your life.

If you don’t believe in God, what you don’t know will be what ruins you eternally. You will never seek Him out.

You therefore become vulnerable to the devil’s tricks because keeping you ignorant is and always has been the tool of this oppressor.

It’s a control thing as we all now know. In that regard the one thing that insures salvation is just a little bit of knowledge based in faith.

That faith, no matter how small, stands as a testament to all that God is in control and the first option should always be Him. A little bit of faith is required when life and the devil say no way.

Faith always gets tested. Salvation lies somewhere between what you say, what you do and what you believe in.

You see, when you know the truth, you can’t be tricked.

However, the effort to trick you will be constant and the lies will keep coming.

But “If you hold to my (Jesus) teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”

(John 8:31-32) May God reveal to your heart His purpose for you and may you be bathed in it. May God bless and keep you always.

The Clean Energy Transition Must Be a Just Transition

BY BEN JEALOUS When General Motors, Chrysler and Ford — the “Big Three” American automakers — were close to extinction 15 years ago, their workers and the American people stepped in to save them. The United Auto Workers (UAW) gave back wages and benefits they had every right to get under a contract they had negotiated just a year before.

Now, rather than being paid back, union workers face getting left out of the future of the car business. And the rest of the country is being told we have Hobson’s choice when it comes to electric vehicles — we can have them, but only at a cost to our neighbors who build them.

We see this when Ford announces its slowing construction of a battery plant in Michigan. And when former president Donald Trump, who leads Republican presidential primary polls, goes to a non-union company outside Detroit to claim that “the auto industry is being assassinated” by the move away from dirty fuels.

Neither auto workers nor the climate can

afford for us to fall for this false narrative.

If anything, we should see that momentum is moving squarely and more rapidly in the other direction. That’s what President Biden means when he says that talking about the climate is talking about good jobs.

New York’s city council voted unanimously to move its fleet of more than 30,000 mu-

nicipal vehicles — the largest in the country — to buy only zero-emissions cars and trucks beginning in 2025, and heavier vehicles after 2028. By 2035, the entire city fleet will be zero emission.

That’s the same year that California, New York and 14 other states will require all cars and trucks sold to be zero emission vehicles.

The standards they’ve agreed to ask carmakers to increase the share of electric vehicles they sell slowly and continuously over the next 13 years.

This isn’t a rash rush to abandon the internal combustion engine and gas pumps overnight, even if our warming planet may need quicker action. That fearmongering is inaccurate and misplaced. It’s a measured, unmistakable direction that UAW leaders see clearly. Their members must benefit from that, they told me when we met in Detroit last month.

Instead, the Big Three have been pushing battery making and electric vehicle assembly to states that don’t offer union workers protection or to plants created through joint

ventures that allow them to operate outside the UAW’s deal.

This is an all-too-familiar pattern in this country’s history — corporations, billionaires, and the politicians representing their interests pitting poor and working Americans who actually aspire to the same future against each other. They do it with hyperboles like assassination and altering established expansion plans.

We’re well beyond 2008. Profits for the Big Three are soaring. Consumers want electric vehicles, and as a nation we’re encouraging them to buy them through tax credits passed last year. It’s those cars and trucks that we’ll drive into a livable future. We must ensure that clean energy transition is a fair one to the people who will make it possible.

Ben Jealous is executive director of the Sierra Club, the nation’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization.

He is a professor of practice at the University of Pennsylvania and author of “Never Forget Our People Were Always Free,” published in January.

Faces of Survival

Katrina Léonce: Tomorrow isn’t Promised

BY ISAIAH SINGLETON

C

elebrating seven years in remission, Katrina Léonce, 59, sat on her living room couch one weekday morning and recalled her 16-month journey battling

cancer.

Léonce, a native of San Diego, California, and a longtime Atlanta resident, thought back to the day in October 2016 when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer. She recalled often having problems with cystic breasts and would feel small lumps but would normally go away coinciding with her cycle. Sometimes, Léonce said, when it lasted longer, she would go see her oncologist and have the fluid removed.

However, one day when she noticed one particular cyst, she said it kept getting bigger and bigger. Léonce said she ignored the cyst because she was used to it going away and due to her busy work life and schedule, she put her health on the back burner.

The cyst had gone unchecked for about six months before going to the doctor to have it seen, according to Léonce.

At the time, Léonce was working full-time at her public relations firm called Profiles Public Relations representing some of the top athletes in the country. Currently, she is a top selling U.S. realtor in the metro Atlanta area.

“I finally thought ‘let me get to the doctor’ and she stuck the needle in it and was going to remove some fluid, but it was hard like concrete. She couldn't even get the needle in,” she said. “My doctor sent me to Denver to test it, did a biopsy and the results weren’t great.”

There was always a part of her that knew she had cancer from the moment she saw her doctor’s face. “I didn't cry. My first thought was, ‘What do I have to do to fix it? I've got kids, a wonderful family, I'm not leaving here, what do I need to do,” she said.

Fortunately, the only time she did cry was when she received a PET scan where she found out the cancer had not spread past her lymph nodes.

“That was a huge test because it determined my chances of survival,” she said.

“That night after I received the news, I called to give my family that news, I cried through the whole call. I was just so happy I get to live. That was probably a month into chemo, and I probably cried for two days. It's like I knew it, but I get to live.”

From that moment forward, she decided to live her life to the fullest. Even after being diagnosed, Léonce still traveled, worked, and ran on the treadmill when she could.

The importance of a strong support system Through her journey, Léonce was not alone. Between her three daughters (Porsche, Paris, and Keni), family, and friends, she has a support system and never stopped fighting.

When she was diagnosed, Léonce was re-

ferred to the Susan G. Komen organization and she said the emotional support and sisterhood from other survivors she received was a lifeline.

“Having a support system was huge for my journey. My village is so large, and I have always had lots of good friends at books clubs, run clubs, and support groups,” she said.

“All of the love and support from my family, friends, and support groups were amazing.”

Léonce said her daughters would call her all the time and wanted to pop by to check on her. Her now ex-husband was another pivotal person who was there every step of the way nursing, supporting, and caring for her.

“With my [ex] husband, we were kind of in a bubble because I was in treatment every day or in the days I wasn't in treatment, I was resting because I just was tired,” she said.

“He was my rock at the time, he nursed me, he wanted to be at every appointment.”

Also, to help her share her own journey with her family, friends, and beyond, Léonce created a Facebook page called KatFight where the intention was to encourage other women coping with the loss of their hair and other challenges of treatment.

KatFight became like a virtual diary where Léonce would upload videos and pictures from after her surgeries every couple of days.

KatFight soon turned into a group outside of Facebook where people would participate in races together and had shirts made.

Also, to keep her thoughts positive, Léonce said she’d listen to Joel Osteen videos and gospel music to keep her mind filled with positive messages all day to drown out the negative.

Léonce said she was doing all the updates,

so she didn't have to answer calls or text messages.

“It was just inspirational, and I remember I showed up for chemo one time and my levels were so low, I needed a blood transfusion.

The first thing I thought was, ‘I need a blood transfusion, what do I need to do’,” she said.

Additionally, as an inspiration from her own journey, she started a fundraising campaign to support Susan G. Komen Greater Atlanta where she donates 15% of all sold, contracted, or referral commissions during the month of October.

Although she hasn’t done the fundraiser in two years due to the state of the real estate market during the pandemic, Léonce said she believes every dollar counts and that together, we all can make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

Tomorrow’s not promised: Living Life to the Fullest One thing Léonce has learned throughout the last seven years: Tomorrow isn’t promised.

She wants to focus more on doing what makes her happy and in a state of peace and she’s blessed to have made it to seven years free of cancer. Léonce underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy, radiation, and a double mastectomy.

Léonce has always loved to travel, but after her battle, she didn’t want to hold back. She has an amazing group of women who travel together to places like Greece, Spain, Africa, and Italy.

“It was one of those things that I always thought if I get through this, I’m going to do it. It makes me appreciate life, so I created

this list, I don’t want to call it a bucket list, it’s just a list of things I want to do and that’s travel,” she said. “We’ve been everywhere, and we do cabin retreats at Pigeon Forge and Jamaica. Every year we go to Martha’s Vineyard for the African American Jazz Festival, and we have at least four trips a year and I look forward to them.”

Looking back, she said her outlook on life has changed a lot since she was diagnosed seven years ago.

“After cancer, I kind of shifted back into my habit of getting busy in life again, but I told myself I need to get a grip on what I need to be doing. That lasted about a year or so, and then I looked up, and my life was busy again,” she said. “I’m at this point in my life, about to turn 60, and easing into retirement, I had to reset my mind again. It’s like did I almost forget that I wasn’t enjoying my life as much as I could because it was so busy. So now, I’m pulling back and filling my calendar with things that I love like trips and spending time with my grandbabies. My philosophy is tomorrow’s not promised, so that’s the way I live my life now, it’s like I’m doing everything I want to do today because tomorrow might not be here.”

To relax, Léonce enjoys participating in pilates about four to five times a week.

“It's meditative. Some of the classes are slow stretching classes, my eyes are closed and I'm living in the moment because I feel like my body is getting stronger,” she said.

“Sometimes I'm working out sweating, and I want to pass out and I leave the studio feeling like I'm alive. Everything about it is about how strong I feel.”

She also enjoys running in 5Ks in races such as Black Girls Run in Powder Springs Tuesdays and Thursdays as well.

One of the many changes Léonce has made in her life is giving up meat, except for fish, eight years ago.

Her daily diet consists of grains, beans, fish, salads, sweet potatoes, tuna, vegetables, and if she doesn’t meal prep, popcorn and wine.

“Doctors told me they found that women do better without the meat and its byproducts, I don’t even like the taste of chicken anymore,” she said.

Léonce stresses to women to get regular screenings and check-ups and if you feel something is wrong, go get it checked immediately.

“Early detection is so key and there were women in the chemo lab in their twenties.

It used to be advised to get your mammograms at 30 or 40, but now it’s being seen in younger women. There were women there who were 20 and 70,” she said. “There's no scale on how old you can be, you can't be too young or too old. I let my busy life stop me from going to get that lump checked in, and it almost cost me my life. I tell people all the time, you have to do it and if you want to be my friend, you better go.”

User’s Guide: MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES How Foreclosure Works

The loan a person takes out to to buy real estate such as a house or condominium is called a mortgage and requires monthly payments. In Georgia, if the property owner falls behind in making those payments, the lender, such as a bank, can sell the property at auction to settle the debt. Doing so is known as foreclosing on a property.

These auctions take place the first Tuesday of every month (or the first Wednesday if the first Tuesday falls on a holiday) between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the steps of the county courthouse. The auction of properties in Fulton County takes place in downtown Atlanta on the front steps of the Fulton County Courthouse at 136 Pryor St. Georgia law allows lenders to conduct an auction without going before a judge on one condition: The lender must give the borrower—and the public—proper, legal notice of its plans to foreclose. Proper notification means advertising in the county’s official legal newspaper. In Fulton County, that official newspaper is the Daily Report. The lender must advertise its intent to foreclose once a week for the four consecutive weeks leading up to the “first Tuesday” sale date.

To auction off a property the first Tuesday of March, for example, a lender must have published a foreclosure notice during each of the four weeks of February.

How to Use the Information

• Property Owners: Protect Your Interests During the weeks leading up to the auction date, many property owners are able to work things out with their lenders, seek bankruptcy protection or line up other arrangements to prevent the bank from selling off their homes. If your lender has started foreclosure proceedings against your property, these listings provide you with an extra alert— over and above the official notice published in full in the Daily Report—to take action.

from the publisher Get behind on your mortgage, and you could lose your home. Don’t pay your property taxes, and you might similarly find your house auctioned off on the courthouse steps.

Both types of forced sale, known as foreclosure, involve complicated legal procedures. We’ve designed FCDR ConsumeR AleRts to take some of the mystery out of the process and to alert consumers to how and when to take action.

We can provide this service because, by law, no foreclosure can occur unless properly announced in the official legal newspaper of the county. That’s required for the benefit of the property owner but also for the community at large. The publication requirement is founded upon the same notions of due process, open government and community awareness that underlie American democracy, and it’s a practice at least as old as the country itself.

Since 1890, the Fulton County DAily RepoRt has served as Fulton County’s newspaper of record for public notices. Each day, important public information courses through our pages in the form of hundreds and hundreds of official notices.

We’ve designed FCDR ConsumeR AleRts to present that information in

an easy-to-understand and easy-touse format.

Thanks to a partnership between the Fulton County DAily RepoRt and the AtlAntA VoiCe, FCDR ConsumeR AleRts will reach tens of thousands of county readers each month. We’ve also made a database of the information available on the Internet, expanding the utility and reach of county information even further. At www.fcdr.com, members of the public can make intelligent searches and link to the full text of official public notices as originally published in the DAily RepoRt. On the following pages you’ll find this month’s FCDR ConsumeR AleRts, along with user’s guides that help explain the legal procedures at work, the different forms of public notice, and how to make the most of the information.

As always, we welcome your thoughts. If you have any suggestions or comments about how we can improve FCDR ConsumeR AleRts, please don’t hesitate to contact me at the address below.

Fulton County Daily RepoRt 136 Pryor St, CB14, Atlanta, GA 30303 (404) 521-1227

TAX FORECLOSURES Local government runs on property taxes. That’s why Georgia law imposes severe penalties for failing to pay them.

If left unresolved, a bad situation easily can become worse, forcing a homeowner in arrears to choose between paying a small fortune or losing the family homestead.

It doesn’t have to come to that. And in fact, there are several opportunities throughout the property tax collection process that allow the homeowner to come current and avoid the worst.

We’ve designed our tax sale listings to make sure homeowners don’t miss those opportunities.

We’re able to provide this service because the Daily Report is the official newspaper of the Fulton County courts.

Throughout the process in Fulton County, the law requires the various collection participants to publish several different forms of notice in the Daily Report.

Those notices form the basis for the listings below.

How the Collection Process Works

Our tax sale listings represents a compilation of information from the following types of public notices: • Non-Judicial Tax Sale • Redemption Rights Deadline • Judicial Tax Hearing • Judicial Tax Sale • Quiet Title Here’s how the tax collection process works, what the different notices mean, and when they come into play.

More Than One Way to Collect

Your obligation to pay property taxes is backed by the property itself. Fail to pay, and the county tax commissioner See TAX, Page 6

Consumer Alerts FCDR

The Atlanta Voice

mortgage foreclosures Words of Caution Neither the Daily Report nor The Atlanta Voice is responsible for any errors or omissions in the FCDR Consumer Alerts listings. The information is neither official nor complete, but merely an abstract of the first-run public notices appearing in the Daily Report. For the complete and official public notice, consult the printed Daily Report. Information in the official notices comes directly from the advertisers with no independent verification.

These listings do not include any subsequent cancellations or subsequent corrections advertisers may have made to their notices.

Just because a property is advertised for foreclosure does not necessarily mean it is in foreclosure or that the owner is in arrears. Some notices result from misunderstandings. Oftentimes matters are worked out (or halted) well in advance of the auction date but after the notice has been submitted for publication. Just because a property isn’t listed here doesn’t mean it’s not in foreclosure. Again, these listings are by no means the official notice.

The person listed as owner may not necessarily be the present title holder.

Indeed, your property may well be listed under the name of a prior owner.

Mortgage value information merely reflects the amount of the original loan amount as listed in the foreclosure notice, not the balance due and not the value of the property.

Neither the Daily Report nor The Atlanta Voice is responsible for any investment decisions based on this information. Neither do they make any representations regarding title or the existence of any liens or encumbrances. Readers of this report should do their own research and consult a real estate, legal or investment professional.

MORTGAGE, from page 1 • Neighbors: Know What’s Going On Use these listings to stay informed about your neighborhood. By law, and for important reasons of public policy, foreclosure notices are for the public. They can tell you whether you have a neighbor in need. They can help answer questions you might have about abandoned or poorly maintained property near you. They can give you insight into property values in your neighborhood.

Indeed, a foreclosure taking place in your neighborhood can affect your own property values.

• Homebuyers, Investors: Find a Bargain Foreclosure notices provide valuable

leads to prospective homebuyers and real estate investors. Houses facing foreclosure often go for bargain prices. These listings, organized by zip code and street address, can help you spot those potential bargains.

The summary information, of course, is just a starting point—a lead to initiate your own research. In addition to bidding for a house on the courthouse steps, there are ways to buy the property in advance of foreclosure by dealing directly with the lender’s attorney or the property owner, both generally listed below. But be warned: Buying a house facing foreclosure is not for the faint of heart.

In general, you must buy the property as is, without an opportunity for inspection. You have to pay with cash or certified check. And

all sales are final. To say the least, make sure you do your homework, do a complete title search, consult with a professional and, above all else, think twice.

• Lenders: Protect Your Interests Many properties are subject to more than one loan, such as a home equity loan or second mortgage. If the lender holding the first mortgage sells the property off at foreclosure, the rights of the secondary lenders may be wiped out. If you have lent someone money against his or her property, or if you hold a lien, these listings provide you with an alert—in addition to the official notice published in full in the Daily Report—so that you can take action to protect your interests.

tax foreclosures TAX, from page 1 can sell the real estate to raise the amount due in back taxes. It’s an awesome power, and it takes the form of a lien.

Think of a lien as a parking boot the county clamps on your property. As with that more physical form of restraint, a lien against your property can stop you cold. It can interfere with your ability to transfer the property or even to borrow against it.

If you do manage to sell the property, the lien sticks to it, interfering with the next owner’s title.

By law, the county tax commissioner automatically gains a lien against property the first day property taxes come due, Jan. 1 of each year. Once the owner pays the taxes, the lien dissolves.

When the property taxes become past due, the tax collector can proceed in one of two ways-Non-Judicial Tax Sale, which doesn’t involve going to court, and Judicial Tax Sale, which must. Both types of proceedings rely upon the sheriff to conduct the sale. Each has its own purpose and its own advantages to the tax collector. More important to the homeowner, each has its own set of procedures and its own types of public notice.

Non-Judicial Tax Sale Non-judicial tax sale is the most common route for the tax commissioner to take. After the payment deadline passes, and after providing the owner with written notice, the tax commissioner turns the matter over to the sheriff by issuing what’s called a tax fi. fa. or writ of execution.

Fi. fa. is the abbreviation of a Latin term meaning “cause it to be done,” and the writ, in this case, formally commands the sheriff to sell the property at auction to the highest bidder. The sheriff has no choice in the matter. The ensuing process is known as sheriff’s levy and sale.

As a first step, the sheriff must send out written notice and also publish a Notice of Sheriff’s Sale in the Daily Report. Those notices, grouped under the heading NonJudicial Tax Sales, are generally the first form of notice to hit the Daily Report and therefore usually represent the first alert appearing in the listings below.

If you see a property in which you have an interest listed as the subject of a Non-Judicial Tax Sale, you need to contact the sheriff’s office and the county tax authorities.

If the notice lists a private investor, that means the county has transferred the tax lien on your property (explained below), and you should contact that party.

After meeting the law’s notification requirements, the sheriff auctions the property to the highest bidder on the steps of the Fulton County Courthouse in downtown Atlanta at 136 Pryor St. S.W., the first Tuesday of the month. The money raised goes toward the back taxes, and the bidder now takes ownership to the property.

The original homeowner still has a way to get the house back (explained below, under Redemption), but it’s now a matter between old owner and new; the county is out of the picture.

The Legacy of Lien Transfers Until May 2002, Georgia law let the county turn matters over to the private sector even sooner. Instead of pursuing the non-judicial sale procedures itself, the county could sell off its tax liens to private investors. The investors paid off the back taxes and then handled the rest, including having the sheriff conduct a non-judicial sale. Although the Georgia Legislature halted the practice during its 2002 session, enough transferred liens remain outstanding that homeowners need to know about them.

For one thing, a transferred tax lien can lie dormant for a few years and thus catch the homeowner unawares when the private investor finally decides to execute on it. That’s because the purchaser of a tax lien does not have to demand a sheriff’s sale of the property right away. Some transferees hold on to the lien without taking any action for a couple of years, thus allowing the interest and penalties—the value of their investment—to grow. As the penalties compound, it becomes harder and harder to get one’s property out of hock.

Redemption: Rescuing Your Property Once the property is sold on the courthouse steps, the former owner still has the chance to rescue the property through a process called redemption. To regain good title to the property, the homeowner must reimburse the purchaser the amount paid at auction, plus penalties, interest and, sometimes, costs.

An owner has the opportunity to redeem as a matter of right for 12 months following the sale. But the window to redeem actually may stay open longer, depending on when the tax-sale purchaser takes action to cut off the owner’s right of redemption.

That action is technically known as foreclosing the right to redeem. The term “barment” has also come into parlance to describe the procedure for cutting off the owner’s right to redeem. By whatever

name, it has the effect of giving the taxsale purchaser title to the land (subject to other possible liens).

Twelve months after the sale, the purchaser can send out notice to the homeowner giving the person a deadline to pay up and reclaim the property or lose all rights to it. The tax-sale purchaser gives notice by mail and also by publishing in the Daily Report a Notice to Foreclose the Right of Redemption, a form of public notice we group under the heading Redemption Rights Deadline.

If your property appears in the listings below as subject to a Redemption Rights Deadline, you can rescue the property by contacting the purchaser and tendering the full redemption amount before the announced cutoff date.

Judicial Tax Sale The second and less common means of property tax collection is judicial tax foreclosure sale. When the tax authorities take that route, they have to wait a little longer to act, and they have to go to court, but it’s ultimately a more decisive process. In general, the county avails itself of this process as a way to put abandoned and blighted property in better hands.

Twelve months after the property taxes first become due on Jan. 1, the tax collector can file a petition in Fulton County Superior Court to conduct a foreclosure sale on the property in arrears.

Note, the legal action is filed not against an individual, such as the owner of record, but against the land itself, a procedure in law known as an action “in rem.”

The first published notice announces a hearing in Superior Court on whether a tax foreclosure sale should be permitted. Notice to the property owner of the county’s intent to foreclose on the land includes mailed notice and the publication of a Notice of Judicial In Rem Hearing, grouped in the Daily Report under the heading Judicial Tax Hearing.

If you see your property listed below as subject to a Judicial Tax Hearing, you need to contact the county tax commissioner and attend the scheduled hearing in Superior Court, but consult a lawyer.

Once satisfied that the tax collector has met the law’s notice and other procedural requirements, a judge issues an order allowing a foreclosure sale of the property.

With that order in hand, the tax collector then must publish in the Daily Report a Notice of Judicial In Rem Foreclosure Sale, which we’ve organized under the heading Judicial Tax Sale.

If you see your property listed below as subject to an impending Judicial Tax Sale, you need to contact the tax commissioner’s office and make arrangements to settle your tax delinquency and stop the sale.

The property owner has the right to redeem the property up to the moment of sale, which generally takes place the first Tuesday of the month following the published notice.

The law gives the owner one last chance at redemption. For 60 days after the sale, the owner can pay the redemption amount, which now includes not just the back taxes and penalties but also the amount paid for the property at auction. If the owner misses that opportunity, then title to the property passes to the purchaser at auction.

Quiet Title Title to property bought at tax foreclosure sales, particularly non-judicial sales, is generally considered clouded. That can cause complications when the new owner decides to sell or finance the property. To fix that, most purchasers undertake Quiet Title proceedings, seeking a declaration that they own the real estate free and clear. The process involves filing a petition with the Superior Court, mailing out notice, and publishing a Notice to Quiet Title in the Daily Report.

If you see your property listed as subject to Quiet Title proceedings, you may be able to file pleadings in Superior Court to intervene. Consult a lawyer.

Brain Love: Fashion with a message of mental health resilience

BY NOAH WASHINGTON

B

rain Love, a Black-owned fashion brand focused on mental health awareness, is now available for purchase at Saks 5th Avenue.

Owned and founded by Archie Clay III, who first ventured into fashion in 2016 opening his first brand, Wearbrims with his co-owner Tahj Crutch. Clay faced a pivotal moment that questioned his life's trajectory earlier this year when Wearbrims came to an unceremonious end. Marked by separation from this previous venture, Clay says he plunged into a mental spiral.

The emotional turmoil that accompanied his separation from Wearbrims fueled his quest to reevaluate his life's purpose. He said that intense periods of reflection led him to lean on his faith, tap into his spirituality, and ultimately, shift his mindset towards a greater calling.

“God made me realize that I had to lock in on my faith first then start shifting my mindset. It didn't come easily, he didn't come right then. I just kind of had to lock in and just figure out where I wanted to go from there,” Clay told The Atlanta Voice.

Amidst this personal transformation, Clay realized that adversity is a universal experience, shared by people from all walks of life. As he read books and listened to motivational speakers, Clay was inspired by the idea that individuals must seek higher purposes and connect with those who motivate and inspire them. This revelation laid the foundation for Brain Love, a brand determined to challenge societal norms and inspire individuals to break free from limiting beliefs.

"We need to get outside the box, create our narrative, and define success on our terms, thinking big and breaking free from the mold,” says Clay.

Consisting of traditional gender inclusive garments, Clay wanted to make Brain Love different by having a give back positivity to his community and gave himself a challenge. 5% of our Brain Love’s annual sales will go to Silence The Shame, an Atlanta-based mental health charity based.

Clay envisions Brain Love as more than just a fashion brand. He sees the company as a movement. Aspiring to create a brand that not only produces stylish products but also champions mental resilience.

"God wants to see you evolve,” Clay said.

The brand's mission extends beyond fashion, with a focus on education and community engagement. Partnering with schools and organizations, Brain Love is committed

to sharing its story and motivating young minds to think bigger.

“I want us to be able to think bigger and I want our customers to think bigger and that and we want to push that narrative to tell stories like truly tell stories around man,” Clay said.

Clay, a Tuskegee University graduate, wants people to understand the importance of inspiring the younger generation- emphasizing that disruption in the fashion industry truly occurs when creating a community where change is driven by a transformational mindset, “I didn't have people in my corner, pushing me into a nice level, especially with an HBCU community, as a man, we get the short end of the stick, especially within the fashion space,” Clay said.

Clay wants consumers to know that Brain Love is not just a brand. He says it's a philosophy of self-empowerment and resilience that he hopes will inspire countless individuals to think big, believe in themselves, and create positive change in the world.

“A part of my purpose is to motivate and inspire anyone, but more importantly, especially HBCUs, my culture, my community, and get them to think bigger,” Clay said.

Dorm Parents: a chance to help students, families in need

BY ISAIAH SINGLETON

P

hyllis Collier, founder of the Dorm Parents program, created a GoFundMe page to help elementary, middle school teachers, scholars, and school communities in need.

Seventy-nine neighborhoods across the Greater Atlanta region are among the most in need and also are in a state of declining child well-being, compared to just a few years ago, according to The United Way of Greater Atlanta.

The Dorm Parents Program Dorm Parents is a pilot program that serves the Carver Cluster, according to Collier. She also started the Collier Community food bank five years ago, which serves Butts, Pike, Clayton, Spalding, and surrounding South Atlanta Metro area counties.

Collier said she created the program because she had three kids go to college and they didn’t have anything.

“I literally cried when Nancy [her daughter] left. She didn’t have anything and I’m like, ‘can we just wait the next four’, she said, ‘no mom, I’m not waiting, I’m leaving’ and she did,” Collier said. “My children left going to college with nothing and that’s where all of this came from. I didn’t want any parent to feel how I felt at that moment and wanted to make sure they got that.”

With the help of others, Collier was able to assist three of her children in getting college degrees. Due to this and remembering what it was like to struggle as a single parent, Collier said she had a God-given desire to assist other college students.

While starting off as a program to help supply the necessary toiletries to college students in need, the financial burden of fuel for vans as well as workers became too great for her to carry alone.

“I’ve traveled to various colleges delivering these items at no charge to the students or school. The financial burden became too great for me alone, and as a result, I was not able to continue serving the colleges,” she said.

Fortunately, the passion and drive still runs through Collier’s heart, as she is now serving middle and elementary school teachers, scholars, and school communities to meet the need. As a result, teachers in the schools serviced by Dorm Parents, receive a $25 Dorm Parent gift certificate every month of service.

Dorm Parent Program Assistant Debra Parks said the importance of the program and the GoFundMe is to be able to supply items like toiletries, food items, non perishable items, and school supplies to children and parents that are in need.

“Even down to personal items like underwear, socks, T-shirts, things of that nature, because there is apparently a need for it and there’s a lot of kids that do go without. We’re here to meet that need,” Parks said.

Parks also said being in the community and aware of children and parents not hav-

ing basic items is when they decided to do something about the issue and help.

“After COVID, people are still struggling with things. Ms. Collier has a heart of gold and a desire to always help people,” Parks said. “She’s always there and initially, she started helping college students because that’s a real struggle. Aiding them, unfortunately, is extremely pricey and expensive, but she didn’t want to stop, so she transferred to helping elementary school, middle schools and even high schools, just doing what she can to meet the need.”

William M. Finch Elementary School Social Worker (Atlanta Public Schools) Tamisha-Brothers Bembry said many times when she gives kids snacks after they come to school late, they’re still hungry.

“A lot of times in the morning, I’m bringing a group of kids down to get breakfast bars, cereal, and other stuff, because they’ll come in late after we serve breakfast, but they’re still hungry,” Bembry said. “So, what Dorm Parents have done is bridge the gap by providing these items, we can feed our kids in the morning and then send them to class, because I don’t know about you, but when I come to work hungry, ain’t nothing going down.”

Parks said many of the schools they’re supplying items to, they will send students home with supplies on the weekends or during long breaks.

“There are kids that will come in needing a bath, no socks, and people aren’t aware this is happening,” Parks said. “There are families that are still struggling and still in need and that’s what we’re doing, we’re trying to meet that need. But to continue this, we welcome donations from anybody because

there is a cost involved.”

Bembry said she is forever grateful to Dorm Parents for helping her school.

“I’m thankful" doesn't even begin to describe it. Before Dorm Parents joined us this year, we had a few cans here and there, a couple of items here and there, but we had such a great need for more supplies,” she said.

Bembry also said it’s important to make sure families have what they need.

“I have kindergartners, third, fourth, fifth grade kids coming in saying, ‘Hey, Ms. Bembry, can I come in your pantry and get some socks or in the morning time?’, their family doesn’t have food at home, so they’re coming hungry,” she said. “A lot of times our kids come late, so I’m able to walk them in here, see their faces brighten up, and they’re able to get items they would pick for themselves.”

Additionally, Bembry said because of Dorm Parents, the school is able to send food bags home with students on the weekends.

“A lot of times we have a whole week break coming up, so what we’re going to do is have our kids come in and they’ll be able to pick their own snacks and items,” she said. “We try to send them home with breakfast, something quick for lunch, like a Velveeta or some mashed potatoes or some soup and then some drinks, something quick. A lot of our students can make them themselves or feed themselves. It’s definitely changed the fabric of how we serve our families.”

What are Dorm Parents Seeking?

As to what Dorm Parents are seeking from the community, Collier said they need a van and if possible, more in the future.

Items in the pantry are donated, but Collier has trucks transport the donations to schools, which Collier must pay the drivers.

This is where the GoFundMe kicks in.

Funds will be used to purchase additional vans to transport items to the schools, fuel for vans, payment for distribution employees, and cost for storage to maintain the items and supplies for the Dorm Parents Program for the 2023-2024 academic school year.

“I have to pay so much money to this guy who transports the supplies from the warehouse where we live and brings it to the schools here,” she said. “It becomes a lot when you add gas and transport back and forth from Pike County to Fulton and the surrounding areas.”

Parks said if they have a van, or vans, they can reach more people and schools.

“We’re just scratching the surface and we’ve certainly supplied some of the schools here in Atlanta, like Macon, Spalding, and Pike, where we live. The need is still great, and it just takes money to get out to the people, to get the items and stuff to do so,” she said.

Collier also said she would like to have all the schools she works with to be fully stocked and in the next couple of years, she wants to have at least a 30,000 square foot warehouse in the Atlanta area stocked with supplies.

“Both of the warehouses I have are in South Georgia where I live, but I would love to have one up here in the Atlanta area so people can come and shop in, this would also help with gas, staffing, and everything else,” she said.

Additionally, Collier said she is looking for a grant writer, so she can apply for one to help the program’s funding.

Bembry said one of the things they have been strategizing is getting a warehouse in Atlanta because Collier and Parks live in Pike County, which is a journey to travel back and forth to.

To donate to the Dorm Parent program, visit https://shorturl.at/sHP56. The donation goal is $50,000. As of Oct. 7, the GoFundMe page is at $235 (six donations).

CAU kicks off Coffee with Coach

BY MENRA MAPFUMO

C

lark Atlanta University has found their new head football coach after previous head coach Willie Slater was fired last Monday.

Coach Richard Moncrief was previously the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach for the Panthers.

As a way for Moncrief to connect with the student body at CAU, he and the Clark Atlanta athletic department are beginning to host ‘Coffee with Moncrief.’, a Q&A session that will take place once a week.

Moncrief, who played quarterback at Clemson University from 1990 to 1993, has spent time at multiple institutions in multiple divisions throughout his coaching career. His coaching career ranges from high school to Division one institutions such as Alabama State University and the University

of Alabama at Birmingham.

“All of those experiences taught me something, in themselves, that was very unique.

The game is bigger than just football, it is about relationships,” Coach Moncrief shared at the Q&A. In most of his previous stops he served as an assistant coach, offensive coordinator and/or quarterback coach. However, this is not his first rodeo at CAU. Coach Moncrief first served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2015 through 2018.

During that initial stint he coached former quarterback Jonathan McCrary, the 2016 SIAC Newcomer of the Year.

The Panthers are having a rough season as they are still looking to win their first game, plus the team has been losing key players due to injuries. How is Coach Moncrief looking to finish the season in the win column?

He is adopting a popular mindset to implement in the team’s game plan every week.

“We want to have a 1 and 0 mindset. It is easy to look down the road when you start talking about football, but the focus needs to be right now, this moment.” He continued, “Between those two hours, inside the lines, if [the team] can maintain their focus and give maximum effort, we can take care of what we have to do week by week.”

Later in the Q&A, Coach Moncrief paid his respects to Coach Slater, his legacy, and talked about what he has learned from Coach Slater.

“Coach Slater is a legendary SIAC coach.

His record is unmatched by anyone who has coached in this conference. He brought a level of toughness and an old school hard nose mentality that I am definitely going to try to implement into my coaching style.” He

added, “I am forever grateful for him, simply because he gave me an opportunity to learn and coach under his leadership.”

The Panthers (0-7 overall, 0-5 in SIAC) playoff chances are slim, but Moncrief has a plan to help the team stay optimistic.

“Football is a game. When you have a game what is your objective? To play. When you play something, you are supposed to have fun. Anytime we have an opportunity to go out on the grass, we understand how to compartmentalize things. Yesterday may have been a bad day, but we look forward to the next day to get out there and do what we love.”

The Panthers have four games remaining in the season, including homecoming against Central State University on Saturday, October 21, and the ‘Battle of the AUC,’ against Morehouse College on Saturday, November 1.

Behind the Hits: Drumma Boy speaks his mind in new book

BY NOAH WASHINGTON

O

n Wednesday, Oct. 11, music producer Christopher "Drumma Boy" Gholson hosted a release reception for his book, "Drumma Boy: Behind The

Hits."

The book provides an in-depth look at the behind-the-scenes moments that have marked Gholson's extensive career in HipHop. This release is particularly significant as it coincides with Gholson's 40th birthday and the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop. To celebrate the launch of "Behind The Hits," Drumma Boy and Wahida Clark Publishing, the book's publisher, jointly organized a book release event at the House of Fresh retail store located on Howell Mill Road.

In attendance at the book's unveiling was Wahida Clark, the founder and owner of Wahida Clark Publishing. She had first encountered Gholson in February 2023 at his studio, during which Gholson shared his aspirations and objectives for the book. Already in the process of writing the book, he sought Clark's guidance to bring the project to completion. Clark recounted, "He told me what he was trying to do and what he wanted to do. He had started to write the book, he just needed to finish it and get it out. He need-

ed me to make it happen." This introduction between Gholson and Clark was facilitated through one of Clark's authors, Alah Adams.

Wahida Clark, although initially unfamiliar with Drumma Boy, was impressed when reviewing the book and discovering the prominent figures he had worked with. She noted his hustle and passion as evident in the pages of the book. ““I didn't even know who Drumma Boy was until I got the story and I'm going through the pages and looking at all the heavy hitters that he worked with. Seeing his hustle, feeling his passion,” Clark told The Atlanta Voice”.

Both Gholson and Clark recognize HipHop as more than just a musical genre. They emphasize its power to convey stories, emotions, and experiences, highlighting its literary dimension. "Hip hop is a world for us to express ourselves. It means grace. It means positivity. It means negativity. It means balance, and being able to have all of those things in one pot," Gholson articulated.

"Behind The Hits" offers readers a glimpse into Drumma Boy's personal journey, from his upbringing in Memphis, Tennessee, to his career in the music industry. The book is organized with over 50 "tracks" instead of traditional chapters, each named after songs he has produced for artists in the Hip-Hop

and R&B genres.

The book begins with his early years as the son of a Memphis Opera vocalist and his father, who was the first Black principal clarinetist in the Memphis Symphony Orchestra.

Drumma Boy's entry into the world of music

was further influenced by his brother, the late Ensayne Wayne, who introduced him to the recording studio at the young age of 12.

Regarding the book's development, Gholson explained that he had been collecting notes over the years, chronicling various moments in his life.

“Well, I had jotted down notes over the course of the past like seven years, just dropping down different moments,” Gholson said, recounting his early days working on the book. “ It was already in my head, this is my life story, it was just about putting it in chronological order, where it made sense, you know, and sharing these stories with the world,” Gholson continued.

The release of "Behind The Hits" during the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop prompted Gholson to reflect on his role in its history.

"I believe people primarily see how music has inspired, uplifted, and transformed countless lives,” he said. “I help transition people from being in the dope game and dealers and turn them into businessmen.”

Gholson then reflected on the essence of Hip-Hop, stating, "It's about helping us express our stories while keeping our spirits as pure as possible and channeling our energy, even when it's negative, to share and vent, letting others know what we're going through.”

Somebody’s Life In Your Hands

BY CLAYTON GUTZMORE

C

PR is a life-saving skill. It is easy to learn, the knowledge is accessible, and it makes a difference in the outcome of a cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, not everyone has this skill under their belt. Studies have shown about 50 percent of people don't know CPR. The American Heart Association (AHA) encourages everyone to gain this skill.

CPR is a tool to utilize during sudden medical emergencies.

According to the AHA, roughly 350,000 adults experience cardiac arrest outside of [1] the hospital in the United States. AHA’s research also reveals that people in low-income and predominantly Black neighborhoods are less likely to receive bystander CPR than those in predominantly white communities with higher income, and women are less likely to receive CPR than men.

Learning this technique is not just for you. It is for the people around you.

“CPR is the superpower you have to help somebody in a dire situation. You are trained and ready to intervene to be of help. It’s like reading, writing, driving or swimming. It’s a skill you take for your whole life that is not for you; it's for somebody else,” said Denise Levy, National senior director for professional membership at the American Heart Association.

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. This method involves resurrecting the heart to get blood flowing through the body. When a person is unresponsive, another individual needs to put their hands on the person's chest. From there, they need to push down the trunk with force to initiate the start of the heart. The conscious individual must repeat this action until the person awakens or medical professionals arrive.

“An emergency does not discriminate.

Sudden cardiac arrest affects anyone of all ages, sizes, and ethnicities,” said Denise Dawkins, registered nurse and CPR instructor.

“We reviewed a lot of cases that were simple and preventable. People die for the most ridiculous reasons because others are afraid to do what they need to or don't know how,” said Dawkins.

The AHA advocates on the state and local levels to get more people to learn CPR. CPR is not mandatory to learn in public schools, but the AHA has partnered with school districts for initiatives to encourage students to learn. Initiatives like Jump rope and heart help for kids exemplify their ef-

forts. AHA has partnered with the NFL for NFL Play 60 to influence people to understand the life-saving method.

The latest and possibly the most memorable example of CPR’s necessity was in January 2023. NFL Safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on[2] the field during a Monday Night Football Game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals. Damar is only 25 and suffered a cardiac arrest from a blow to the chest. Millions of fans at the stadium and watching from home were silent and praying for him as medical professionals used CPR and an AED defibrillator. Demar Survived and became an advocate for CPR. “He is living proof that CPR works. People hear about CPR, but we all saw it on Monday Night Football that it saved a life. His outcome is because he received the right medical intervention when needed,” said Levy.

“Because of his position, which personally happened to him, Damar Hamlin impacts those who watch and listen to him. Because of what happened to Damar, I heard institutions implement CPR as a part of their regular certification amongst the employees. I think this impact sheds a light on CPR and its value to sustain and save a life,” said Dawkins.

CPR is a technique that makes a difference during a cardiac arrest. Levy and Dawkins reinforce that possessing this skill can save the lives of many when it’s time to intervene.

More information on CPR and where to learn it can be found on Heart.org.

T

he 2023 Lexus GX 460 does a solid job combining adequate power, luxury, and innovation, while its off-road ability and generous amount of standard safety equipment makes the transport of multiple passengers a more mind-easing experience.

Under the hood, the 4.6-liter V6 engine packs a decent amount of power­­—301 horses—paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Although owners will not win any drag races with the GX 460 as expected with this style of automobile, the driving experience is enhanced with four-wheel drive capability for optimal maneuvering, which is ideal to balance out the size of this vehicle and getting in tight parking spaces. The multiple driving modes also deserve accolades, providing confidence for the driver to take on any inclement weather challenges including rain, snow, mud, or rocky terrain. Of course, the adap-
