How do we protect your information?

We do not use vulnerability scanning and/or scanning to PCI standards because we only provide articles and information and we never ask for credit card numbers. We do use regular Malware Scanning.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. In addition, all sensitive/credit information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Do we use ‘cookies’?

Yes. Cookies are small files that a site or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the site’s or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. For instance, we use cookies to help us remember and process the items in your shopping cart. They are also used to help us understand your preferences based on previous or current site activity, which enables us to provide you with improved services. We also use cookies to help us compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

We use cookies to:

Compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interactions in order to offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may also use trusted third-party services that track this information on our behalf.

California Online Privacy Protection Act

CalOPPA is the first state law in the nation to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. See more here.

According to CalOPPA, we agree to the following:
  • Users can visit our site anonymously.
  • Once this privacy policy is created, we will add a link to it on our footer.

Does our site allow third-party behavioral tracking?

It’s also important to note that we do not allow third-party behavioral tracking.

COPPA (Children Online Privacy Protection Act)

When it comes to the collection of personal information from children under the age of 13 years old, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) puts parents in control. The Federal Trade Commission, United States’ consumer protection agency, enforces the COPPA Rule, which spells out what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children’s privacy and safety online. We do not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.

Fair Information Practices

The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur we will notify you via email within 7 business days.

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

CAN SPAM Act

The CAN-SPAM Act is a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.

We collect your email address in order to:
  • Send information, respond to inquiries, and/or other requests or questions.
  • Market to our mailing list.
To be in accordance with CANSPAM, we agree to the following:
  • Not use false or misleading subjects or email addresses.

  • Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used.

#tyrenichols was a youth group leader at his churc #tyrenichols was a youth group leader at his church in Sacramento. 

He was a skateboarder. 

He was grieving the death of his father. 

He found hope in sunsets. 

He was a free spirit who broke molds. 

He moved to Memphis because he felt “called.”

He was sick—suffering from Crohn’s Disease. 

So he was 6’3” and only 150 lbs. 

He was only trying to get home.

He was a momma’s boy. 

So, his last word was: “Mom!”

He was lynched

By five Black overseers of the state

And I feel for them. They, too, were likely victims of the state. They likely joined the patrol as a strategy to survive it. They swore to protect the proper order of things—

>>> Protect property. 
>>> Protect businesses. 
>>> Protect the white people who own and run them. 

The rest are expendable.

Black people are expendable. 

But they forgot—they, too, are expendable. 

The white pundits who usually close ranks around white men in blue—who normally demand we wait till both sides are heard—who normally do deep dives into assailants’ previous acts of blue valor—they readily sacrificed these five blue-clad Black lives on the altar of “See we’re reasonable white people. When it’s truly bad, we can say so.”

And they blow the loudest trumpets crying: This is the WORST EVER. 

#philandocastile #ahmaudarbery #sandrabland #michaelbrown and #breonnataylor rise up in a divine quintet and demand: “Don’t do that.” 

The death of Mr. Nichols was heinous—period. 

The death of all the rest was heinous—period. 

Traffic stops should be outlawed—period. 

And cities should commit as many resources to protecting Black lives as they have committed to containing and controlling Blackness.

Then, we must turn to the five, as the Black Chief and DA and family of Tyre have, and demand Justice.

Hey Community! Almost 3 years ago, I had this id Hey Community! 

Almost 3 years ago, I had this idea:

“What if a bunch of diverse amazing writers came together to write every Saturday? And what if they listened to each other read the stories they wrote each time? How changed would we be…after soaking in each other’s stories? How might the symphony of our voices rise and change the world?” 

The answer is: A whole lot.

7 books have been written and published in the Global Writers Group writing room! 

Hundreds of commentaries, opEds, blogs, columns—even a song featured during the Super Bowl—were published from this group of prophetic writers! 

We have been changed by each other’s stories. We’ve become better writers through the process of listening and offering and receiving constructive feedback each week. And we are writing another world into being!

This Monday, come glimpse this new world and listen to power-packed stories crafted in our writing room and honed within our Literati writing cohort! 

Join us!

Thanking God for President Lincoln’s courage 160 Thanking God for President Lincoln’s courage 160 years ago and for the thousands of formerly enslaved and free Black soldiers, including my 2nd Great Grandfather, Henry Lawrence, and his brothers who exercised their agency to push down the wretched walls of antebellum!

Pelé won his third World Cup in 12 years in 1970. Pelé won his third World Cup in 12 years in 1970. I feel privileged to have been alive (only a year old, but who’s counting) when he danced and flew and dribbled and bounced across the field—at the height of his career. 

But, it wasn’t until I was on my way home from Brazil—having fallen in love with the people of that rainbow nation, having waded through the post-Eugenics waters of the last nation on earth to abolish slavery (1888), having understood the absolute brutality of Brazilian slavery, having listened to the testimonies of Black Brazilians scarred by entrench anti-blackness in every single corner of Brazilian consciousness—especially within the church, having walked the cratered dirt road of a favela and felt the menace of machine-gun toting police bearing down on already flattened people, having witnessed the genius and resilience of Black people who never had their Civil Rights Movement, yet dug deep and tapped into their God-ordained human call to exercise dominion on earth and INVENTED everything from the ironing board to the plow to the scale—after bearing witness, I watched the film Pelé on my flight home—and I wept. I got it. 

Pele’s futbol style came straight outta the favela. It was taught to him by his father, who learned it from his father. And that style of play had been banned by the white authorities in Brazilian futbol when Pelé first began to play. But Pelé defied the explicitly white supremacist rules and brought the power of his ancestors with him onto the field. That’s how he won his first World Cup. When he jumped into the arms of his teammates, it was much more than a win. It was a breakthrough celebration of Blackness—one that laid foundations for Brazil’s current reputation as the rainbow nation.

If you haven’t seen #Peléfilm, yet, see it. You will understand why this great man’s passing is about more than the skill of one soccer player. We celebrate Pelé for his courage and stamina and resilience and for the ways he taught all of us the beautiful power of blackness. 

Rest in peace, Pelé. 🙏🏽

This Christmas, we experienced a #christmasmiracle This Christmas, we experienced a #christmasmiracle.

God showed up and brought light into a difficult day. 

My nephew and niece-in-law, Junie and Irma (who are more like a son and daughter to me), are here for the holiday. Love filled our house that night and helped to push back the darkness. Love sent despair back to hell where it belongs. 

Then last night, Christmas Eve, Rev. Cannon @shawmartini @aecst1792 peached his face off; reminding us of the power of the light. And my mother sang with the church choir for the first time. It was beautiful. 

Christmas is not about gifts, though we give them. It is about overflowing love and the power of light. Love and light—they are the gifts. Darkness and despair try to overcome them, but they cannot. 

They never could—not in Genesis, not in John 1, not even on the cross. 

#lightwins #merrychristmas
Repost from Christmas 2021: ““Cast down the m Repost from Christmas 2021:

““Cast down the mighty, lift the lowly. Fill the hungry, and send the rich away.” 

While this might sound like a call-and-response protest chant, these words lay foundations for Luke’s gospel. Brown Mary visits her elder cousin, Brown Elizabeth. She breaks into song and prophesies. In the context of colonization by white supremacist Rome, Brown Mary foresees a time when the low will be brought high and the high will be brought low. Mary saw a new way of living together in the world where injustices are made right. 

Those who live in high places without God could fear the coming of Brown Jesus. But what if Mary does not describe a reversal? What if she describes a leveling? What if she describes a reordering of our world such that all, at least have enough? And no one is exploited for sake of the few who belong? What if that is the world she foresaw when she understood the fortune of her womb?”
