Breaking out of The Box Letter To Our Readers Our desire is to share the positive news and information that comes from the African American community with the largest audience possible. For us, pursuing the traditional news print strategy while co-producing an online version is not going to make us the best in either category. Therefore, we will put all of our attention and efforts behind our digital products and strive to be the best in the market.

We are going to take the occasion of the beginning of our 10-year celebration to make this bold move.

The growth of access to an online device – be it mobile or desktop – has been phenomenal over the last 10 years. According to Internet Access Local, 80% of Virginia residents have internet access at home. They also state that of Richmond’s 204,237 population, 80% live in a household with access to the internet. Most of us will not find much news in these numbers, because we know of the daily usage of the internet in our lives and others.

Kree Small has always had many goals, but one of her biggest dreams is becoming a lawyer. “That’s always what I wanted to do. I really like English and history together and I can just see that job for myself,” Kree said. “I just know being a lawyer, that’s going to be me. That is my job.” While she isn’t sure which branch she’ll pursue, Kree is interested in legislative law and business law.

You’re in there with real professors and they treat us just like college students,” Kree said. “It’s exciting to get two years of college for free.” By May 2018, Kree will not only graduate with a high school diploma but also with an Associate’s Degree.

Education has always been held to a high standard in Kree’s family.

While Kree is ambitious and dedicated to furthering her education after high school, her educational journey was not always the easiest.

During her freshman year of high school, Kree had to learn how to balance work, volunteering, extracurricular activities, her social life and school work. She finished her freshman year with a 2.167 GPA. However, Kree persevered and by her junior year raised her GPA to a 4.1.

I’m Just Sayin’

A LIE is a lie no matter who’s telling it!

“A mistake repeated more than once is a decision.” My mother used to always tell us that lying is harder than telling the truth because if you tell one lie, you usually have to tell another one to cover the first one you told and then another and pretty soon you lose track of the lies you’ve told. At that point, you become a liar and no one can believe a thing that you have to say. It usually takes a lifetime to build a reputation of respect, trust and integrity.

Like building a house, you begin with a strong foundation and you methodically construct a frame, install the infrastructure of wiring and plumbing. It takes time and effort. It is an investment of energy and resources, and it can all be destroyed in an instant.

“Be more concerned about your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” –John Wooden People are easily fooled into believing things that are not true. We live in a culture that wants to hold on to its “beliefs” even when the FACTS clearly contradict those beliefs. We have been lulled into a false sense of security that just because someone holds a certain job or position, 4

By Dr. T

that the position they hold should define the level of trust, respect and integrity we assign to them individually. We believe our leaders, (civic and spiritual), our elders, heroes and (s)heroes should be of high moral character and have reputations that are held with the utmost regard.

Unfortunately, it has become increasingly difficult to hold onto these beliefs. Our longstanding regard for the virtues of truth and integrity in our leaders has been severely diminished by those who are willing to LIE for expediency and a sense of loyalty instead of standing for Truth. The need to “save face” has undermined many a longstanding reputation built upon what we “believe” about that position, power and leadership.

And, yet the larger issue is the diminished character of the individual who refuses to apologize for the LIE that was told either intentionally or unintentionally, or the complicit silence that continues to support all the other LIES that continue to be told in the name of an integrity, a reputation that does not exist.

If character is who you really are, the question is will you sacrifice that character for a false sense of integrity that is defined by a so-called “reputation” you may or may not deserve?

The Truth is Liars have no integrity at all. No matter WHO they are!

The Church Beyon There is no denying it, church attendance and the impact of the church are the lowest in recent history and the most drastic difference is seen among millennials (22-35 years old). According to several studies, 59% of millennials raised in church have dropped out.

How to Guide

How to Choose a Church

Picking a church is like ‌. nothing else. There are so many denominations, congregations and sects to choose from. No one knows exactly how many denominations exist, but everyone agrees they number in the tens of thousands. And within some of the larger denominations are different subgroups. Each faith-based community is different and attracts a different type of membership.

you. Once you have found some possibilities, visit several churches. Attend services with a positive attitude and ask questions of the members. Gather as much information as you can. Sometimes having a friend along will help you feel more at ease. Speak to people sitting near you, or speak to the pastor after the service. Take home any literature offered.

Afterward, reflect on your experience. Does the church’s statement of belief match yours?

A church is a group of like-minded people who share a set of beliefs, values and norms. In most of the cases, the members feel as though they belong to a large, extended family and offer support, encouragement and emotional and material assistance to each other.

Sometimes churches are known for their service to the community. If volunteer work is important to you, find a religious community that has programs for soup kitchens, homeless shelters or even local parks.

Church communities worship and learn together. Growing in faith should be one of the goals in attending church services. The right church can provide a foundation for your spiritual life. It could also be a boon for your social and personal life.

When searching for a church, pray to God for guidance.

Then determine what setting is important to you. Are you looking for a less-formal, more modern church with energetic sermons? Do you need an intimate community or a mega-church?

Do you have a particular faith? If you are a Methodist,

Were you comfortable sitting in the church or were you itching to leave? Did the pastor hold your attention or were you bored?

Baptist or Lutheran, being surrounded by people with similar beliefs will be important. Or, do you prefer a nondenominational church?

Once you understand your needs, conduct some research.

Ask friends and relatives about the churches they attend.

People are often happy to discuss their experiences with

Knowing your values will help you select the right church.

Worship and spirituality are deeply personal. Sometimes different family members may attend different churches.

When you find a church where the pastor or minister seems to be speaking to you and the congregation feels like family, you have found the place where you will be the most comfortable and get the most out of the experience.

Three things you need to know to solicit a gift for a nonprofit

What? Me ask someone for money? That’s just not me.

From October to December, nonprofits dedicate time and energy to fundraising. They reach out to supporters and ask them to give. They share their impact – what they have done this year and what they will do next year. They share stories from those whose lives have been changed as a result of donations given by donors like you. Many use direct mail, social media, and/or online giving campaigns. Many encourage their board members, donors, and volunteers to personally talk with potential donors and ask them to make a gift.

Personally asking another person to make a gift to a nonprofit you believe in can be the scariest aspect of fundraising. But, good things can happen when you break through your fears. “I was waiting for them to ask me.

I send something each year, but no one has ever talked to me.” Here’s a snippet of a conversation we heard just this week “He called me and said he met me earlier in the year and wanted to know how he could get involved and give.”

organization is a match with their passion and priorities? How much do they already know about your organization? Be ready to briefly share why you are involved. Share what the nonprofit is raising money for, your commitment, and the amount that you have given.

2. MAKE THE ASK. Be sure to ask for the gift. “I would like for you to make a gift. Would you be willing to contribute $___?” Ask for a specific, reasonable and challenging amount: not too small and not too large.

Pause after you ask. Don’t rush to fill the silence. Give the person time to respond and they will.

3. When someone says YES, thank them and ask how they want to make their gift, for example, online from the website, with a text or a check. If they say NO, ask if there is a different amount they would be willing to give. Regardless of the outcome, always say Thank You! Download your free tip sheet at saadandshaw.com.

You get these results when you talk about the work of your organization and the fact that you rely on donations to continue your work.

Here are three suggestions to help you start a conversation about giving.

1. Be prepared. Know who you are talking to. What about your
