Ignoring The Spider! Ignoring The Spider! ~Bro. Bedford ~Bro. Bedford

What if I told you that you don’t have to wait every two years, or four years to cast your vote? What if I told you that you could make a difference whether you are young, old, male, female, felon, or free? What if I told you that you have the power to change to the course of history on a daily bases? What if I told you that you could Vote every day? That’s right you can #VoteEveryDay!

Now I’m not talking about voter fraud and I’m not talking about doing something illegal. What I am talking about is Voting With Our Dollars!

In this third installment of our continuing our series, “Don’t Ignore The Spider…” we are examing how each and everyone one of us, regardless of your age or stage in life, we can Vote Every Day! 6

With every dollar that we spend we are casting our vote. The question is are we voting our interest. As we purchase products or services from businesses that have a proven track record of supporting our interest then we will positively affect the movement towards building our wealth.

Simply making a conscious decision to seek out and spend money with businesses that embrace, promotes, and support our efforts for racial equality which spreads broad and wide. Just like the Spider web which sparked this series, there has to be an expanded approach to solutions. These solutions require finances from companies that hold us as valuable members of our community.

Some of you may be wondering why I kept emphasizing businesses and companies that have our best interest in mind and not merely “Black Owned Businesses?” Well, some companies have shown that they too stand on the right side of history when it comes to racial justice. I would encourage you to do your research on every company you patronize to verify that their Goals, Mission Statement, Culture, and most importantly their support. Support can be shown through fair hiring practices, board representation, community involvement, and giving back to programs that are a benefit to our communities.

Here is a good place to start in your research process:

Next month we will look at how we can start “Building Our Youth’s Self Esteem.” ~Cicone Prince

continued from page 5 Creative juices flowing, evolution of businesses and entrepreneurship are in view. Look out world I’m about to EVOLVE! After a couple of years of creative thinking and God revealing and stirring up gifts writing became a passion. One night the Holy Spirit woke me up, instructed me to go into the bathroom and look into the mirror, I looked but wasn’t sure what I was looking for, he called me SHERO? Shortly thereafter, I founded a publication titled SHERO LIFE MAGAZINE, a magazine and ministry all in one. Shero Life Magazine is a publication of positivity spotlighting the lives of women from every nationality and background. True testimonials of faith, determination and wisdom. Women reaching out to encourage others that are going through. Women who have already birth in the spirit and are now midwives in the labor room with other sisters who were once where they are. TRUE TITUS 2 WOMEN! SLM was birth out of purpose and hope! SLM is mature and past her growing pains, a mother of 15 biological children and 26 grandchildren, pregnancy became a past time for me so it

seemed, it’s time to do it again, except now I’m birthing in the spirit. So out of SHERO LIFE MAGAZINE the Lord spoke to my spirit to create the same platform for men, and title it HEROS WORLD MAGAZINE, out of remembrance of the dominion he gave Adam in the garden. Same concept yet a different name. A platform of positively and bravery for men who have been silenced or afraid to discuss things pertaining to life and the challenges they face in an uplifting and safe place.

A platform where sharing how you survived depression and abuse, or how God delivered you from infidelity or homosexuality. A magazine where men can share grilling secrets, or tips on their favorite cologne. Most men are not as open to expressing their experiences due to fear of being judged, shamed, or embarrassment. A platform where their written testimony or experience offers help and hope. 8

Currently I am working a fragrance line! Yes, Shero is developing a line of fragrances that will speak to every woman who enjoys the richness and intriguing scents of an unforgettable fragrance.

A Shero woman is a productive wealthy woman, she is resilient and wise. Therefore, the first scent is called FIERCE by shero, the next is WEALTH by shero and a third called, WISDOM by shero! As a manager of one of the major cosmetic companies out here, SEPHORA, I begin studying the notes and ingredients on how fragrances are created, and thought, why not my own fragrance? The Proverb 31 woman was a very industrious woman with multiple streams of income, this SHERO set the bar high but not unattainable. To every modern day Shero reading this article, I say to you, stay focused on your dreams and visions if you can think it, you can achieve it. With God all things are possible, there is no failure in him. If God said it, he’s able to bring it to pass in your life! Speak over your dreams and visions until they manifest, nurture them until they burst from your womb, never allow anyone to tell you or convince you that your dream or vision is irrelevant or insurmountable, Remember Shero, you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you! Now go EVOLVE.
