Saleia Stone, local 5-year-old track star holds national records

BY TEVIN STINSON THE CHRONICLE

When you first meet Saleia Stowe, she appears to be your average kindergarten student.

She’s energetic, shy around new people, and enjoys playing with her siblings and spending time with her family. But when she steps in between the lines of a track, it’s clear this isn’t your average 5-year-old. Stowe holds the national record in the 400m dash, which she shattered by 10 seconds, and the 200m dash for her age group. Stowe is also second in the country in the 100 meter dash.

With some encouragement from her father, Steve Stowe, who ran track at North Forsyth and N.C. A&T State University, Saleia started running track earlier this summer with the local AAU organization, Tri-City Relays. It didn’t take long to notice that she was special. “I didn’t believe she would do as good as she did off the rip, but it’s been amazing to watch,” said Stowe with a smile while discussing his daughter’s success on the track.

“At the beginning we weren’t sure if we would be able to finish the season because she would be

Saleia’s mother, Jameisha Facyson, said, “Honestly, I’m just one proud momma.” She

noted that as the season progressed, Saleia managed to shave 20 seconds off her time in the 400 meter dash, which propelled her to the national record, 1:25.

“She has accomplished this and ran times that we didn’t expect. She started out the season at like a 1:44 and now she’s down to 1:25,” Williams said.

“That was something we could

never dream of. She’s faster than our wildest dreams.”

Kenterris Clinkscales, Saleia’s uncle, is also impressed.

He said it’s been exciting to see his niece follow in her father’s footsteps. While at N.C. A&T, Stowe was a part of three MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) championship teams. “It’s just like watching my brother run. I watched him do it and now I get to see her do it,” he said.

Saleia says she enjoys track because of the fun she has and the new friends she’s met from all across the country. And although she still has a few years before she’s eligible to compete, Saleia already has plans of one day running in the Olympics.

Her favorite athlete is Olympic gold medalist Athing Mu, who also runs the 400 meter dash.

“It’s really fun,” she said.

“My favorite is the 400 because it’s the easiest.”

Since finding her competitive spirit on the track, Shaleia has started playing other sports, including tennis and softball. To follow Shaleia’s journey on and off the track, follow her Instagram page, @trackstar_lei.

Is redlining the cause for the lack of generational wealth?

New exhibit takes a closer look

The Winston-Salem Foundation, HUSTLE W-S, and the African American Heritage Initiative have come together to bring an exhibit to the city that takes a critical look at redlining, it’s impact on the community and the people who call WinstonSalem home.

Redlining is a form of lending discrimination where for decades, banks

across the country denied mortgages to Black people and other people of color, preventing them from buying a home in certain neighborhoods.

The interactive exhibit on display at the Forsyth County Central Library, “UnDesign The Redline,” explores the city’s history of racism and inequality and gives the community an opportunity to see how neighborhoods have evolved and/or stayed the same over the years.

“The exhibit has two great purposes, one is to educate people on how we got where we are today.

Some people may have heard the term redlining but don’t realize how systemic it is,” said Charlie Gardner, program officer for The Winston-Salem Foundation.

“There’s also a lot of people in the community who are well steeped in this and kinda tired of talk, so we also need to try to find ways to move beyond talk and so we’ve been trying to work with com-

munity partners to identify opportunities to get tapped into this work as well as to support work that’s ongoing.”

Cynthia Villagomez, chair of the African American Heritage Initiative (AAHI) and a history professor at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), said that it’s impossible to teach African American history without discussing redlining. Vilagomez and her team were responsible for collecting information and archives related to redlining in the area.

In addition to providing maps of redlined neighborhoods in Winston-Salem, a timeline of historic events, narratives from individuals who witnessed redlining firsthand, at the end of the exhibit visitors have the opportunity to share their ideas on how to improve neighborhoods that were dilapidated by redlining.

“This is really an opportunity to serve the Black community and really use history to promote

Financial literacy is imperative for entrepreneurs’ success

BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE

Parents in the African American community routinely push education on their children, which is a great thing.

One aspect of that education that is usually left out is financial literacy. For Antonio McCoy, he aims to impart as much financial wisdom into his clients as possible.

McCoy is a business growth strategist and executive coach that is a native of Winston-Salem. He has an extensive background in marketing that stretches over two decades.

“I was voicing for radio and TV commercials and I sold direct mail for the postal service for almost 21 years, so marketing is something that I’ve always had an affinity for,” said McCoy. “When I worked at the postal service, I would have clients and they knew that I could speak to them about every aspect of their marketing mix and at this time social media was not as prevalent as it is now.

“I had people that wanted to pay me after I helped them get their marketing straight and then, of course, dealt with their direct mail. I knew nothing about consulting and once I realized that people were willing to pay for it, I decided it was something I wanted to pursue.

“I actually was with a coaching firm for about five months and that didn’t work out, so I branched out on my own in 2012. I left the postal service in August of 2012 and that’s when I started MC Howard Business Coaching.”

McCoy was confident about stepping away from the postal service because he had his 401k to lean on after

leaving. He recommends that everyone should take advantage of their employer’s retirement plans if possible.

“What I did was use my 401k, and for the postal service it’s called DSP, to fund me until I was profitable,” he said. “So that bought me time.”

Over the last nine years, McCoy’s business has grown by leaps and bounds. He has grown to the point where he has separated himself from other business growth coaches.

“I’ve kind of went from focusing on helping businesses grow, as it relates to marketing in a lot of cases, and of course, as I grew from an educational standpoint, I really began to look at business growth from a financial standpoint, because there is risk when it comes to marketing and there is also cost,” he stated. “When I started looking at it from a financial standpoint, it really helped me evolve.

“I was certified as an executive coach in 2013, because that’s when I started doing my doctorate work. So, I have kind of gone from doing businesses so much now, to really coaching a lot of executives. I have also coached principals and people in the central office.”

McCoy says it’s very fulfilling for him to be that guiding light to lead people down the correct path to either build themselves or their business. “It’s very rewarding to see the lightbulb come on for folks,” he said. “As a coach, and I am a master coach so I can certify people to become coaches, and one of the things that coaching does is it’s about helping your clients arrive at the insights on their own. It’s not about you giving advice.

“A lot of times, they don’t have this type of individual in their lives, so to have someone who is 100% committed to their success is something that they always want there. In a lot of cases they find themselves in a position where they don’t want to have to live without it.”

McCoy has seen it all when it comes to marketing for a business. He has seen the good and the bad when it comes to decision-making that business owners make.

“They don’t understand the fundamentals of marketing, they don’t understand the fundamentals of finance, and they don’t understand the fundamentals of self,” said McCoy about the mistakes business owners make. “The biggest thing that I have to overcome now with business owners is them understanding that social media is not the silver bullet.

“Just because you run a Facebook ad or you advertise on Instagram or you do a video, it doesn’t mean somebody is going to buy your product or service. It’s still going to be a sales process where you’re going to have to convince them that either you can do everything you said you can do, or your product can do everything you said it could do, and you may have to take on some of the risk.”

One of the issues that McCoy aims to fix with his business is addressing financial literacy for African American business owners. He says it’s not that Black people are totally lacking in the area, but many times they don’t have the in-depth knowledge as compared to other ethnicities.

“The things, as it relates to personal finance, there are some intricacies to that, but when you start talking about business finance, it gets really complex, because there are so many variables that have to come into play,” he said. “Running your house is a business and most people don’t approach it like a business in that you should do everything you can to keep your cost as low as possible.

“A lot of us don’t approach it that way. Everybody likes to look at the top number on their financial statement or their income, but the top number feeds your ego, but the bottom line is what feeds your family and that’s what matters.”

Ideally, McCoy recommends that every entrepreneur obtain a business coach before launching their brand to grasp the necessary concepts and to give their business the best opportunity to succeed.

“I would say you would probably want to get a coach ahead of time to understand the things you need to do and not do before spending any money,” he said. “If you spend some money, first thing you need to do if you’re thinking about starting a business is invest in yourself.

A business growth coach is going to help expand your knowledge.

“I am not going to say that any coach will do, I am just going to be honest. You have to do your due diligence just like anything else. The whole thing that a business growth coach will do for you is to help you recognize the things that you haven’t thought about. For instance, the biggest thing that I see business owners screw up or overlook is their pricing, like what’s the cheapest way to grow and how you should pursue that.”

McCoy preaches patience when starting out as a new

entrepreneur. He says the profits may not roll in right away, but if you have a viable business and a model for that business, the profits will eventually come if marketed the right way.

“Just because you made a little money, don’t go out here and buy a car or buy a boat,” he said. “When I started my voiceover business, if I wanted to upgrade my equipment, I ate peanut butter sandwiches every day for lunch for a month. I tallied up what I spent a month on lunch eating out, so I ate peanut butter sandwiches and saved my money to buy a voice processor to sound like the big boys.

“By all means, if you make a sale, celebrate, but sacrifice. You can’t go out with your friends, out to dinner.

You need to invest as much of your money in the beginning back into your business. And I’ll be honest, a business growth coach is part of that. A business only ends See Success on A8

Ben & Jerry’s new cold brew ice cream supports a new vision for public safety NNPA NEWSWIRE - You don’t have to be a barista to enjoy Ben & Jerry’s newest Limited Batch flavor—a cool combination of cold brew coffee ice cream, marshmallow swirls and fudge brownies.

“Change is Brewing” was created to help transform the nation’s approach to public safety to one that prioritizes community needs.

Change is Brewing is part of Ben & Jerry’s ongoing work to advance racial justice, calling for the nation to divest from a broken criminal legal system and invest in services that help communities thrive, like mental health treatment, counseling, substance use treatment, and healthcare.

Ben & Jerry’s is joining more than 70 other organizations in supporting The People’s Response Act, landmark legislation introduced by Congresswoman Cori Bush. The legislation was written to transform a system that disproportionately criminalizes Black and brown people into a system that provides resources to help every community, and especially communities of color, thrive.

The People’s Response Act was developed in partnership with community organizers, grassroots organizations, and movement partners, including the Movement for Black Lives (M4BL).

“The Movement for Black Lives welcomes Ben & Jerry’s support of The People’s Response Act, which would expand a new vision for public safety rooted in public health and their investment in local organizations working every day in service of a new future for Black people,” said Monifa Bandele, member of the leadership of M4BL’s Policy Table.

“Now is the time for Congress to embrace bold, courageous leadership and join Congresswoman Cori Bush in co-sponsoring The People’s Response Act and ensuring its final passage.”

“We appreciate Congresswoman Cori Bush for having the courage and vision to introduce the People’s Response Act, legislation that would boldly transform public safety in America,” said Jabari Paul, U.S. activism manager for Ben & Jerry’s.

“We’ve come to understand that public safety is also a matter of public health. Congresswoman Bush’s legislation begins to make that important link by creating a public safety division within the Department of Health and Human Services.”

The deep, rich coffee flavor in Change is Brewing is from BLK & Bold, the first Black-owned, nationally distributed coffee company that gives 5% of its profits to initiatives that support youth in need.

Greyston Bakery, a values-led supplier and longtime Ben & Jerry’s partner, provides the scrumptious fudge brownies.

The bakery has an “open hiring” policy that provides opportunities for people facing barriers to employment.

On the pint, Black multi-disciplinary artist Laci Jordan paints a colorful picture of what the world might look like when Black people feel safe and all communities can thrive.

Change is Brewing will be available as a Limited Batch flavor at participating Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops and on store shelves for a suggested price of $4.49-5.69.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Change is Brewing will go to grassroots groups working to transform public safety in America.

Melvin Van Peebles 1932 -2021 IN MEMORIAM: Melvin Van Peebles, Godfather of Black Cinema

BY NSENGA K. BURTON

Known as the Godfather of Black Cinema, Van Peebles was a man of many talents, all of which were on display with the film “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song,” which he produced, directed, starred in, and distributed the film. While Van Peebles continued writing and directing film, he appeared as an actor in 44 films and television shows including Boomerang, Living Single, Panther, Girlfriends and Peeples. He also continued writing and performing songs, releasing six solo albums over the years.

The film world is reeling over the loss of influential filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles, who passed away Sept. 22 in Manhattan.

Van Peebles is best known for his classic independent films ”Watermelon Man” (1970) and ”Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song” (1971), which offered a bold critique of racism, power and Black liberation in the United States. Van Peebles, the father of actor/director Mario Van Peebles, created the blueprint for what would

become the Blaxploitation genre of filmmaking with his ”Sweet Sweetback’s Baaadasssss Song.”

Born in Chicago in 1932, Van Peebles was the son of a tailor and homemaker. After graduating high school, he enrolled in West Virginia State University before transferring to Ohio Wesleyan University. Following graduation, the future filmmaker joined the Air Force and began writing. In 1956, he married German actress and photographer Maria Marx, who appeared with him in his iconic film ”Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song.” They lived in Europe and Mexico before he returned to the States and worked as a cable car operator in San Francisco.

In the early 1960s, Van Peebles published four novels and one story collection in French and made a short film, ”Cinq cent balles” (1965), about a child trying to retrieve a banc note in a tenuous world. In 1968, Van Peebles made his first featurelength film, ”The Story of a Three-Day Pass” (La Permission). The renaissance man starred with

actress Nicole Berger in the film, which explored themes around interracial romance, nation and identity. ”Three-Day Pass” was well-received by audiences and critics and put him on the map in Hollywood, many of whom thought they had discovered a French auteur instead of a talented Black man from Chicago.

In 1970, Van Peebles made his first Hollywood film entitled ”Watermelon Man” starring Godfrey Cambridge. Released by Columbia Pictures, the film told the story of a racist white man who one day wakes up Black and the fallout from his family, friends and place of employment because of it.

In interviews, Van Peebles said it was the experience of making ”Watermelon Man” within the Hollywood film system that convinced him to work as an independent filmmaker so he could have complete control over his films.

The independent artist struck out on his own with the goal of making ”Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song,” a film that explored themes of Black power

and liberation. The auteur raised $500,000 from investments by supporters including Bill Cosby and earnings from his previous work. The film featured a soundtrack by Earth, Wind and Fire, a then up-and-coming jazz and R&B band, and offered a gritty, unapologetic look into Black America’s underground economy. The film highlighted the story of a wrongfully accused Black man’s journey from sideshow to revolutionary. Sweetback put forth a bold Black aesthetic embracing Black fashion of the time, elements of the Black Power movement, and articulating the idea of American freedom through a distinctly Black revolutionary socio-political lens.

Much like Black film pioneer Oscar Micheaux, Van Peebles’ films were celebrated and condemned for exploring controversial topics and for what some critics called technical issues. Using a distribution technique like Micheaux, Van Peebles rented out theaters in Black cities and See Melvin on A8

The booster shots are available. Will we take them?

Dr. James B. Ewers Jr.

Guest Columnist

COVID-19 has made us worn and weary.

Our temperaments have changed. We have become frazzled and on edge. Our patience is wearing thin.

We are just out of sorts.

The deaths and illnesses caused by COVID-19 are staggering. The tragedy is that the numbers keep increasing. Sometimes it seems as if there is no end in sight.

If there is any good news about this, it is that the vaccine is working. It doesn’t matter what you took, as long as you took one of them. I believe that taking the vaccine was a must. It was a health imperative. Those who say otherwise were whistling a bad tune.

But do not worry, when it hits them, they will change their tune and admit their negligence.

Still, at this juncture, we have over 70 million

people in this country who have not received their first shot. That is a big number given the fact we have been talking about the vaccine for months. Despite this statistic, booster shots are now a part of the vaccine regimen.

Pfizer began its booster shot program last week.

However, it is not for everybody.

“Consequently, the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-vaccine is authorized for use as a booster dose among individuals who completed a primary series of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine,” said Dr. Doran Fink, a deputy director of the FDA’s Division of Vaccines.

One of the groups that it is for is people who are 65 years and older. According to the Centers for Disease Control, this is one of the most vulnerable groups.

If you recall, President Joe Biden wanted everybody to get a booster shot eight months after the first shot. That is not happening. There is a difference of opinion among healthcare experts about this additional shot and this is not helping the vaccine cause.

This divide is strengthening the case for some not

to get vaccinated. I can hear them saying now, “I told you so. I told you it wouldn’t work.”

Dr. William Schaffner of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, believes there should be two goals: The first goal is to get people vaccinated and the second is to get them to take the booster shot.

These are achievable goals and we the people need to get on board. Our lives are at stake and we are at risk each day that we do not have maximum protection.

Geography and statistics tell us where the unvaccinated are living.

Their reasons for not taking the vaccine are varied and vague.

What the science is telling them is that their living is being compromised.

Reports say over 90% of the people in hospitals with the coronavirus are unvaccinated. When will it matter to them? Maybe never.

As the booster shot

by Pfizer is out, availability and access will be concerns at the health desk.

There is still too much vaccine hesitancy among the American public. Since the initial vaccine rollout,

there has been a strong marketing campaign. Stars and celebrities are touting the vaccine. We will see the same push for the booster shots.

In the coming weeks and months, other companies will release their booster shots. Will there be the same requirements?

We will have to wait and see.

Let us hope going forward that there is consensus among the experts about the parameters.

They must be crystal clear.

These are sensitive matters and perceptions go a long way.

We must trust and believe in our medical experts.

The important thing is the vaccines and booster shots are trying to prevent the spread of the deadliest virus in our lifetime.

It is called COVID-19.

As CMO of United Health Centers, Wiltshire will be responsible for making sure policies are in place to make staff and patients enjoy their UHC experience. Wiltshire officially started at UHC on July 1 and she immediately got to work.

“I hit the ground running,” Wiltshire laughed.

“I told Mr. Huntley I wanted to work with him to help build the clinic and make sure quality improves and the best service for patients. Just because it’s a clinic doesn’t mean people should have poor service. I want to make sure patients and staff choose to be here, and not because they have to be here.”

United Health Centers, a Federally Qualified Health Center, began as an outgrowth of community organizing activities led by Neighbors for Better Neighborhoods and six neighborhood associations in southeastern WinstonSalem in 2003. The mission at United Health Centers is to provide care while building healthier communities. The vision of the UHC’s leadership is to provide a high level of care and education that will positively impact neighborhoods, communities, and ultimately be a world model for quality care.

BUSTA’S EVENT OF THE WEEK

Tabitha Brown’s book tour begins with a sold-out crowd in Greensboro

BY BUSTA BROWN FOR THE CHRONICLE

This past Saturday night at the Carolina Theater in Greensboro, a soldout crowd was there to see America’s new mom.

Tabitha Brown walks onto the stage, with her stylish Afro, wearing a multi-colored checkered two-piece suit, and sporting a pair of super cool sneakers with a thick sole. As she walked across the stage toward her chair, the fans gave her a nearly five-minute thunderous applause and standing ovation.

Tabitha stood there with tears of joy flowing down her beautiful face and you could feel her spirit of gratitude. She softly says, “Thank you ...

I love you.”

Tabitha Brown is an actress, author, and vegan food mega star. The first story I did on the Eden, North Carolina native, she talked about how the documentary “What the Health” changed her life.

“What caught my attention in the documentary is when they said not all diseases are hereditary. But the same things are causing the same diseases in our family. That was like a light bulb. My mama died at 51 from ALS, which is a rare disease, for which there is no cure. My dad is 70 and the oldest living male in my family. So, heart attacks, strokes and all that stuff runs in the family.

“I thought, well, the only common denominator is that we all eat meat. So, I thought, what do I have to lose? I had headaches for a year and seven months every day. It was excruciating pain in the back of my head. I said, let me try this for 30 days and see what happens. Within ten days of changing my diet, my headaches went away.

After injections in my head that didn’t work, and all kinds of drugs. If anything, I got worse because of the medicines,” shared Tabitha.

Tabitha’s entire life changed after becoming a vegan. She’s now healthier physically, mentally and spiritually. She shared that she received a word from God, which at first, she had reservations about. Tabitha has a great sense of humor and she’s also an amazing storyteller. She has a sweet and soft Southern accent, so when she shared the night God gave her the vision to make videos about her journey, she had the crowd cracking up.

“When God said make videos! I was like, nah …

That ain’t me.” She continued with telling her hilarious version of the word from God, and had me and the audience falling out of our seats. She composed herself and then looked calmly into the audience, as if she was looking into the eyes of every single person in the room. She allowed us to see the vulnerable Tabitha Brown, the one that surrenders completely to God when he calls. And she softly says, “But when I decided to be obedient to God’s word …” She pauses and then begins fanning her face as if she was hot. As she sat there in tears, her fans shouted, “Amen! We love you, Tabitha! I feel you girl! You got this!”

Out of nowhere, her husband Chance walks onto the stage with tissues and the ladies go crazy, screaming as he walks toward Tabitha. It was clear that he was humbled by their reaction to his appearance. Yet, with all of the screams and cheers, he remained focused on getting to his wife. You could

“Ain’t he fine?” said Tabitha, with a huge smile, as she looked into her husband’s eyes.

I was blessed and honored to be the moderator for this absolutely amazing experience. This night was much greater than just a book tour. The vibe this past Saturday night was equal to seeing Oprah or Michelle Obama. It was the first night of Tabitha Brown’s book tour.

“I had to kick it off right with y’all. This is where my journey began.

My family and friends are here as well,” said Tabitha as the crowd roared. “I am so humbled and grateful.

Ya’ll just don’t know.”

In her book, “Feeding

the Soul (Because it’s your Business),” Tabitha shares her journey on how making the transition to being a vegan changed her life, mentally, spiritually, and physically. During the evening, Tabitha went into storytelling mode. She shared that “If you’re going to become a vegan, the first thing you must do is know your why. Why am I starting? It’s gotta mean something to you. To me, it was life or death. That’s how strongly I felt about it. If you don’t have a real why, you’re going to always fall off. Whether it’s going vegan, starting a business, whatever the case is. if you don’t have a why, you ain’t gonna stick with it. “I know God put me on this mission to do what I’m doing,” said Tabitha.

The audience was locked in to every word

she shared. She talks to her fans, not at them. As she sat on stage talking with her fans, she was amazing.

The vegan influencer was everything they hoped she would be and more.

“I’m not here to tell you how to live and or what to eat. I’m just here to share my story on how becoming a vegan saved my life. What you eat, that’s your business,” she said as the audience laughed.

“That’s your business” is one of her most popular catch phrases.

After my onstage conversation with Tabitha, we took questions from the audience. “I’m 11 years old and I love you so much. What is it like being famous?” the little girl asked Tabitha. She replies with her soft and sweet Southern voice and accent.

“Regular. I feel the same, because I haven’t changed.

I’m still me. It’s important to be the best you.”

Another little girl told Tabitha that she wanted to be an actress like her, and to give her some advice.

“Don’t act, be yourself. I tried to lose weight, dress and wear my hair the way I thought they wanted me to, but it wasn’t until I decided to be me and love me is when everything began to fall into place. Never forget that you’re beautiful as you are.”

One of the many stories Tabitha shared was about while her mom was battling ALS, she was living in Los Angeles. Her sister who lives in Eden didn’t visit their mom daily, and that upset Tabitha.

It caused the two of them to fall out. “My mama told me, everyone grieves dif-

ferently, and your sister isn’t ready to let go. She’ll eventually come around on her own time.” Tabitha received her mother’s wisdom and the way things turned out is a must read.

During her storytelling, she had us laughing, cheering, and crying. It was a powerful, yet beautiful and warm story.

As the night was coming to an end, Tabitha gave her fans a warm and wonderful thank you, and ended with her popular phrase, ““Have a good night, and even if you can’t, don’t go messing up nobody else’s.”

Afterwards, I spoke with a few of Tabitha’s fans about how she inspired them. Roshonda Hawkins shared, “I was so impacted by Tabitha Brown last night. She is a woman of influence, simplicity and loves the Lord. I am not one that is moved by too many people. It is actually a very rare thing for me.

But being in the room with Tabitha Brown and hearing her tell her testimony story definitely caused an awakening, a shaking, and a stirring in my spirit. I was encouraged and empowered. I was definitely honored to be in her presence and I could feel that she honors His presence!”

Dr. Michelle Johnson shared, “Tabitha’s unapologetic honesty and willingness to share her journey to wholeness and freedom confirmed for me that I have everything I need to be whole and free, too.”

“Tabitha influences my life in such a positive way.

I appreciate her words of wisdom, kindness and sharing her personal journey with the world. She

inspires me and others in living a healthier lifestyle.

I cannot express my appreciation to such a beautiful person inside and out. May God bless her in all her endeavors,” said Ronkenia Brown.

Robin T. Rich McGee said, “It was truly a blessing to see both you and Tabitha Brown onstage entertaining just like back in the day! You did a great job and Tabitha was phenomenal (Mic Girl) for life!! Busta Brown Show for Life!”

Tabitha was the “mic girl” on my TV show in the 90s.

And The Chronicle’s own Bridget Elam shared, “Tabitha Brown uses her platform to personally invite millions of viewers into her life. She reminds us that obstacles are not the end of a thing. She’s shown us that we can overcome our trials by sprinkling grace and kindness on our situations. Her success has truly been an inspiration and an example for those who are still holding on to a dream.”

Make sure to check Tabitha’s show, “All Love,” on Ellen’s Digital Network, her recurring role on Showtime’s “The Chi,” and “Tab Time” on YouTube Originals for Kids and Family. She’s the recipient of the 2021 NAACP Award for Outstanding Social Media Personality. You can purchase “Feeding the Soul” on Amazon, Books a Million, and Target.

In coming weeks HUSTLE Winston-Salem will hold other programs centered around the exhibit and generational wealth. When asked what she wants the community to take away from the exhibit, Yacinthe said she hopes it creates chances for the community to come together and address issues that were created by redlining.

“Even after it leaves Winston-Salem, I hope this exhibit creates opportunities for community members, organizations,

institutions, whoever, to come together and think about what policies we can put in place to really address things that align with redlining,” she said.

“Although redlining is very specific sometimes to houses and businesses …

I do think the mindset behind redlining still exists and shows up in so many ways, so I hope this exhibit gives us the opportunity to say, ‘What do we need to put in place to advance these communities?’”

Timothy Ramsey Sports Columnist

A franchise quarterback: it must be nice to have one.

I have loved the game of football since I was young and as I grew older, I realized the quarterback position is the hardest position in sports at which to excel. There are so many factors that go into becoming a franchise quarterback and very few people have those attributes. So for fans of teams that have one, you should feel very lucky.

As you know, I am a fan of the Washington Football Team (WFT) and needless to say, we have not had a franchise quarterback in quite some time. Since I have become a knowledgeable fan of the game, my team has not had a franchise quarterback and that is a 30-year timeframe.

Prior to my becoming a fan, there were several quarterbacks that wore the burgundy and gold that were very good quarterbacks. Sammy Baugh, Joe Theismann, Sonny Jurgensen, Billy Kilmer and Doug Williams immediately come to mind. But if we are being honest, none of those names are mentioned among the best of the best and that’s where my frustrations lie.

10-year career. The fact that Wilson is under center gives Seahawk fans confidence that their team will be fighting for a playoff spot every year.

The WFT last won the Super Bowl in 1991 and the starting quarterback for that team was Mark Rypien. Rypien was by no means a hall-of-famecaliber player; if I’m being honest, he wasn’t even a perennial pro bowler. He really caught lightning in a bottle and led one of the best Super Bowl winning teams of all time.

Since Rypien, some of the players that have been the starting quarterback for Washington have been names like Heath Shuler, Gus Frerotte, Trent Green, John Friesz, Tony Banks, Patrick Ramsey, Rex Grossman, Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel, Tim Hasselbeck, Todd Collins, John Beck, Josh Johnson and Case Keenum.

None of these players are household names and most are only recognizable to diehard football fans. The WFT has spent a lot of draft capital on quarterbacks over the last 30 years and almost none of them have panned out to at least be serviceable signal callers.

Every Washington fan remembers how we gave away three first round draft picks to the Rams in 2012 to move up and draft Robert Griffin III out of Baylor University with the second overall pick. The first year, it seemed like we made the right choice by giving away all of those draft picks because Griffin led us to the playoffs as a rookie.

Everything went downhill when Griffin was injured late in the season against the Baltimore Ravens and was hurt once again during the playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. He was never the same player after that and is now out of the NFL

all together.

I get jealous as a fan when I look at a team like the Green Bay Packers.

Since 1992, the Packers have pretty much had either Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers under center as their quarterback. That is almost 30 years of top tier quarterback play. The Packers only had two Super Bowl trophies during that span, but they have only missed the playoffs eight times since 1992. It has to be a great feeling to know that you’re going to be in hunt for a playoff spot every season.

The same thing can be said for the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers went from Joe Montana to Steve Young, two hall of fame and Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. From 1981 to 1998, the 49ers enjoyed watching two of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. During that span, the Niners won five Super Bowls and were always in the hunt nearly each and every year of that run.

Over the last 20 years or so, the Miami Dolphins have been attempting to find the heir apparent to legendary quarterback Dan Marino. They have tried through the draft and free agency just like the WFT, but they have pretty much come up empty, just like us. There are other teams like the Browns who have used numerous first round picks on quarterbacks like Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden, Johnny Manziel and Baker Mayfield; all since 1999.

So, for the fans of teams right now that have a franchise quarterback, enjoy it, because some of us fans out here would love to be in your shoes right about now. Selecting a quarterback is really a crapshoot, because no one really knows how a player will pan out on the next level.

It would just be nice in my lifetime to watch my team play with one of the top five or six quarterbacks under center.

She decided that she would attend an HBCU and narrowed her choices down to North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University, and WSSU. “I think that God really had a plan for me, because when it didn’t work out with Central and A&T, I called Coach Lamonte and told her that I wanted to go on a visit,” Tucker continued. “She showed me around the campus and

“There are so many people coming up and asking me, am I ready for the season and asking about the team, so I know we have a lot of support from people on and off campus.”

out with friends and goes home almost every week to visit with her family.

“I like to listen to music a lot and do different things like bowling or skating, anything that allows me to go out and live life,” she stated.

Tucker says her goal this season is for the Lady Rams to bring home the CIAA Tournament Championship. She feels they have all of the right pieces in place to make that happen. Individually, she wants to win the CIAA Player of the Year Award as well.

Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson

Make a joyful noise Scriptures: Psalm:100 By the end of this lesson, we will: *Understand why and how God is to be worshipped; *Appreciate that God is worthy to be praised; *Create a psalm of praise for the Lord.

Background: Psalm 100 serves as an anthology and is understood by Israel as a general call to worship and possibly an introduction to larger liturgical works. It is traditionally used for thanksgiving offerings. Psalm 100 has several subtitles or subheaders. A psalm for giving thankful praise, a psalm for giving grateful praise, a psalm for giving thanks, a psalm of praise, a psalm of thanksgiving, a hymn of praise, and in the Jewish Bible, a psalm “for praise.” What is notable is that Psalm 100 is a psalm of imperatives. The psalm contains a command to serve (verses 1-3) and a command to praise (verses 4-5). The songwriter has structured this psalm to encourage the people to praise God and it gives them the reasons why they should. The psalm describes the process of preparation, anticipation, and participation in worship.

Lesson: The command to serve (verses 1-3). The psalmist makes three calls to serve: 1) Make a joyful noise (verse 1). They are to shout – all the earth is to participate; 2) Serve the Lord (verse 2). Submit to the Word of God with gladness; and 3) Come before (verse 2). Enter the presence of the Lord with singing – a part of the joyful noise. And three causes for serving: 1) The Lord is God (verse 3). The Lord is the one true God Israel’s God of covenant; 2) He hath made us (verse 3).

God is the creator of all human beings and he is most powerful and he blesses and sustains life; 3) We are his people (verse 3). The Lord is King of us all and cares intimately for Israel and us all. He is the shepherd of saints in the church.

The command to praise (verses 4-5). There are three calls to praise: 1) Enter His gates (verse 4). When you come to the temple or church, come with an “offering of thanksgiving” and praise him audibly for who He is; 2) Be thankful (verse 4). Thank the Lord for His goodness, unfailing love, and faithfulness; 3) Bless His name (verse 4). Express how fortunate it is to be in His care, recognize His great riches, strength, and His gracious bounty. Do so with gratitude and delight. There are three corresponding causes for praise. They fit the formula used to express why Israel praises God – it always includes the Lord’s goodness, unfailing love and faithfulness: 1) The Lord is good (verse 5). God is holy, pure and righteous; 2) His mercy is everlasting (verse 5). God will not quit loving us and will pursue us to the end, no matter what; 3) His faithfulness is for all generations (verse 5). No generation has known God to be unfaithful. The New Testament introduces grace and truth as the equivalent of Old Testament love and faithfulness.

Jesus embodies God’s love toward us. He is the way, the truth, and the life. (The UMI Annual Commentary 2021-2022, the Jewish Study Bible, Tanakh, the Wiersbe Study Bible, the MacArthur Study Bible, the King James Study Bible, the New Interpreters Study Bible, and the Oxford Bible Commentary).

For Your Consideration: What characteristics of God draws you to worship Him? Are you diligent with your “thanksgiving offering?”

Application: The spirit of thanksgiving helps us overcome some of the “sins in good standing” that too often invade our lives: complaining (Psalm 100:1), idolatry (verse 2), pride (verse.3), and ingratitude (verse 4). Without an awareness of who God is and who we are, we are not likely to enter into worship with a whole heart. Worship is all that we are responding to all that He is.

MegaFest. Combining Jakes’ conferences and the International Faith & Film Festival into one, MegaFest is considered one of the largest faith-based international conferences in America. In 2015, more than 91,000 people attended to hear from a wide array of international speakers. In 2008, the global gathering was held in Johannesburg and contributed more than 60 million South African rand to the local economy.

Tapping into the digital world to further Jakes’ message, the Bishop’s Village offers on-demand subscribers unique, behind-the-scenes insights into the workings of the T.D. Jakes “machine.”

Viewers are treated to videos and other online content, including (but not limited to) worldwide speaking engagements, conferences, business seminars, meeting preparations and sermon notes that are not available on any other Jakes platform.

Other Key Milestones: *1993: launched a weekly TV broadcast on Trinity Broadcasting Network *1994: began weekly TV broadcasts on Black Entertainment Network *2000: named one of the Top 10 Religion Leaders by PBS’ Religion and

Ethics Newsweekly *2001: named America’s Best Preacher

by Time magazine and CNN *2009: delivered the morning service for President Obama’s inauguration *2016: debuted the “T.D. Jakes” talk show *2021: premiered “Kingdom Culture with T.D. Jakes” (a weekly sermon and conversational series) on REVOLT, the leading Black-ownedand-operated multimedia platform servicing content 24/7 across digital, linear and live media channels Books, Film, Comedy and Music. Jakes is a New York Times bestselling author and has published more than 40 books. His 2014 book ”Instinct” is one of his most successful, spending 16 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. His latest book, ”Don’t Drop the Mic,” which gives insights into communicating well, was on the New York Times, USA Today, Amazon and Publisher’s Weekly bestseller lists.

An accomplished film producer, Jakes’ movies have grossed over $500 million and catapulted the faith-based film industry. His films include: ”A Dog’s Way Home” (for Sony Pictures) starring Edward James Olmos and Ashley Judd; ”Miracles from Heaven,” the follow-up to ”Heaven is for Real”; the made-forTV-film ”Faith Under Fire” (for Lifetime); ”On

the Seventh Day”; ”Winnie Mandela”; ”Black Nativity”; ”Jumping the Broom”; and ”Sparkle.”

Jakes’ film projects continue to redefine and reimagine the ever-evolving “faith-based” genre. Stories about real people and experiences often are oversimplified with a traditional faith-based lens.

Jakes’ ability to translate stories about real people with real experiences into sales, streams and support is unprecedented.

Jakes’ “A Time to Laugh” is a touring comedy show and concert featuring some of the hottest up-and-coming artists and comedians.

Dexterity Sounds is responsible for some of the most innovative expressions in gospel music today. Receiving numerous industry accolades, including Grammys for “The Storm is Over” and “A Wing and a Prayer.” Dexterity may be best known for the fan-favorite album Sacred Love Songs II, which featured music inspired by the film: “Jumping the Broom.”

The label is also known for its award-winning worship experience DVDs and the all-female contemporary gospel group, Grace.

The Potter’s House charter is to extend a “hand of help to the needy, a heart of compassion to the hurting, and a message of empowerment to the disenfranchised.” Jakes has led and lived this mission each day in his ministry.

4 financial tips to help seniors during the pandemic

BY GWENDOLYN TEAL

It's fall 2021 and many of us hoped that COVID-19 would be a bad memory by now. Unfortunately, it’s not behind us.

Here we are a year and a half later still in the thick of this pandemic.

Many of us have learned to navigate through this daily struggle of work-

The vaccine has made it possible recently for businesses to slowly resume and reopen to the public. Many seniors are ready and able to get back to work with everyone else. But a lot of seniors may find it difficult to compete or find jobs at a comparable wage. Some seniors worked to stay active, but a lot of seniors

Seniors are our most vulnerable population and often face considerable out-of-pocket costs for their health care.

They have been targeted at unprecedented levels with identity theft, fraud, and numerous scams – all affecting their finances.

rus. Senior Financial Care is here to help seniors find resources and budget their money.

2. Get in touch with a financial advisor or trusted counselor. Like everyone else, our mature neighbors likely suffered some financial losses during the pandemic. Chat with an advisor to see what changes could be

are a vital part of working families’ “villages” and use their income to help support themselves, their children, and grandchildren.

So what help is available for our seniors? Here are some financial tips for seniors during the pandemic.

1, Know what resources are available. Many local and state organizations have received special COVID-19 funds to help the community cope with the financial strain of the vi-

made, if any, to accounts.

It is important for those who haven’t started drawing Social Security to talk about the pros and cons of starting Social Security early.

3, Regular credit report checks. Financial scams are at an all-time high and checking credit reports/scores and setting up alerts can be a safeguard if someone tries to open a credit account or loan in your name.

International Day of Older Persons is October 1 2021 theme is ‘Digital Equity for All Ages’

BY JUDIE HOLCOMB-PACK THE CHRONICLE

On Dec. 14, 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designed Oct. 1 as the International Day of Older Persons. There have been earlier initiatives, such as the Vienna International Plan of Action on Aging, which was adopted in 1982 by the World Assembly on Aging and later that year by the UN General Assembly. In 1991, the United Nations Principles for Older Persons was adopted, followed by the Second World Assembly on Aging adopting the Madrid International Plan of Action on Aging.

All these resolutions are the result of an attempt to respond to the opportunities and challenges of the aging population in the 21st century and to promote the development of a society for all ages.

Another outcome was the creation of Age-Friendly Communities of which we are a part through AgeFriendly Forsyth, an initiative the Forsyth County Commissioners adopted in 2017.

This year’s theme is “Digital Equity for All Ages.” The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the great divide between those older persons with Smartphones and Internet access and those who were digitally unconnected. Many older persons still experience social isolation due to lack of connectability with others. Even during lock-

down, we connected virtually with others through Facebook, Zoom meetings, and YouTube, which most of us have come to depend on for everything from ordering groceries online to attending church services or even viewing weddings or funeral services that are live-streamed. No longer is Internet access considered a luxury; in today’s virtually connected world, it is a necessity. Sadly, it is one that many older persons cannot afford or are unable to access.

Unfortunately, the cure – digital access – comes with a curse. Cybercrimes and misinformation threaten the human rights, privacy and security of older persons. The United Nation’s Secretary-General has created a roadmap that “seeks to address these challenges by recommending concrete actions to harness the best of these technologies and mitigate their risk.” Ways this can

be accomplished include bringing awareness of the importance of digital inclusion of older persons, tackling stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination associated with computer technology, and exploring policies and legal frameworks to ensure privacy and safety of older persons in the digital world.

Technology has transformed all sectors of society, including how we live, work and relate to one another. It offers great hope for the future and our older citizens should be included in the benefits it offers.

As we celebrate the International Day of Older Persons, it is a good time to consider how we’re using the connectivity that the Internet offers and how we can work to ensure that every person can benefit from the evolving technology of the 21st century and enjoy “digital equity for all ages.”

Company’s Coming

Tips

From page B6

(or when to clean house during the pandemic)

BY CINDY ARGIENTO

“I’m going blind.”

“Why do you think you’re going blind?” my husband inquired.

“Well, I can’t see the people on the television set anymore.”

My husband got up, walked over to the set, ran a finger across the screen and stuck it under my nose. “Here, this is proof you’re not going blind.”

“What is that on your finger?”

“It’s dust, about one inch thick, on the TV screen.”

“Oh, so, I’m not going blind?”

“No, the TV and the house just need to be dusted.”

(Heavy sigh) “You know what we need to do, don’t you?”

only allowed to be opened after our guests leave for fear of an avalanche. (I’m always amazed when I go to someone’s house and they show me their closets. I’m thinking - where do they hide all the junk?)

As always, the last-minute cleaning - the bathrooms - are saved for last. First, my daughter scrubs one tub clean. Next, my husband uses elbow grease to scrub and clean the same tub. Then, my son diligently cleans the same tub for the third time in one day. Bathing in the sparkling clean tub later that day, I realize that my family definitely has a communication problem, but if they want to clean one tub three times in one day, who am I to stand in their way?

Company came, company left. That night, upon disrobing, I vowed to myself to retrieve the robe I let drop beside the bed. But exhausted from a week of cleaning, I didn’t have the energy to bend over and pick it up. However, if my hubby is compelled to pick it up before I do, I definitely won’t stand in his way!

4. Screen mail, email, and phone calls carefully. Financial scams are a reality and seniors are a prime target. These scams include fraudulent loan offerings and fake relief aid.

Be careful who you give your personal information to and if something feels off, trust your gut.

Whatever the financial burdens are, it is our job at Senior Financial Care to be there for the part of the community that has poured so much into us.

COVID-19 has taught us many lessons about the value of life, family, and friendship. Going to the

B7 grocery store, picking up a prescription, or cutting the grass for a senior may seem insignificant to you, but can mean the world to them.

At Senior Financial Care, we are here to help find resources, budget, and financially educate seniors. If you have a family member, church member, or friend who may need help with their finances, tell them about our program. It is our privilege to serve them.

Gwendolyn Teal is a counselor and financial educator for Senior Financial Care, a part of Financial Pathways of the Piedmont.

In perfect unison, we mumbled the words, “Have company.”

My family is gripped with fear at the words “company’s coming.” Fear because our house is not company presentable and fear because we will have to put forth physical effort to make the house presentable. We start preparing for company a week in advance. Yes, we need more than one hour or one day. For us it’s become synonymous with the term “spring cleaning.”

My husband always tackles his room first: the garage.

Considering our guests will not park in it, walk through it, or look at it, I fail to see the need to clean it. However, if he wants to organize his nuts and bolts and hang his wrenches according to size, and name and polish each screwdriver, who am I to stand in his way?

It’s the closet cleaning we do which baffles me the most. First, we gather the things we no longer need or want. Then we cram them, along with the junk lying around the house we don’t want our guests to see, into any space with a door. Closets become off limits and are
