How Women Can Help Women Heal In April
V
ice President Joe Biden recently introduced pop star Lady Gaga at the Oscars to spotlight the issue of campus sexual assault, which is part of a White House campaign against domestic and sexual violence. Gaga’s performance, which included sexual-assault survivors onstage, highlights a startling problem: despite immense progress, women continue to suffer spousal abuse at an alarming rate. A woman is beaten every nine seconds in the United States, according to Domestic Violence Statistics. “April is Women Helping Each Others Heal Month – an empowering message to all women that there’s abundant hope if you are or have ever experienced spousal abuse,” says Aurea McGarry, a domestic violence and cancer survivor who has dedicated her life to advocacy for those in need, including abused women. “My awakening came with my daughter, because I couldn’t bear for her to think that what I suffered from my ex-husband was acceptable.” From that moment on, McGarry —now an Emmy-winning TV show host, charity expert and sought-after inspirational speaker—flowered. She says there are several ways women can help themselves, and
others, such as: • Go one better than surviving; put forth a mindset to “sur-thrive.” McGarry has survived the murder of her father, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, poverty, divorce and single motherhood. Having her spirit nearly broken many times, her will to survive overflowed into a desire to sur-thrive. “It’s a goal of the spirit, one that can be measured every day by positivity—positive actions, feelings and the determination for well-being for one’s life and that of others,” she says. • Live your legacy (www.Live YourLegacySummit.Com) now. How will you be remembered after you’re gone? What will your legacy be? These questions are better understood by linking it with your actions today. Your legacy is in your hands. Whether it’s a simple good deed among two strangers or a widely publicized global movement, the good consequences of positive action live on in time. That’s just some of what McGarry emphasizes in her Live Your Legacy Summits— events designed to inspire, inform and support women who want to start building a new legacy—now in its 10th incarnation.

• Empower yourself by empowering others. Helping others helps us feel good, according to the American Psychological Association, which indicates that volunteering with a charity boosts selfesteem and personal development. Efforts including Women Helping Women perfectly illustrate helping oneself by helping others. • Be a positive example for your daughter, mother, sister and friends. Positivity tends to breed more of the positive. When something good happens you feel better about other aspects of your life. The same is often true interpersonally. If you are sur-thriving, for example, who wouldn’t want to join you? Be the leader in your own life, and others will follow. Aurea McGarry is an Emmywinning TV show host, actor, author, speaker and charity advocate, and founder of the Live Your Legacy Summit National Event Series (liveyourlegacysummit.org). Having endured tremendous hardship throughout her life, including domestic violence and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, she advocates a positive message of sur-thriving.
Company Re-Opens Wells Next to L.A. Elementary School Environmentalists Call for Criminal Investigation of Oil Company Wells Re-Open Next to Elementary School
S
TAND-L.A. is calling on L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer to open a criminal investigation of Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas after the company re-opened more than a dozen idle oil wells across the street from an elementary school in South LA. Community members are outraged at what they say was a calculated maneuver to side-step the law and avoid the costs of permanently plugging the wells. The Los Angeles Times reports local residents had urged the Los Angeles Fire Department to demand the company either restart or close the idle wells, hoping to leverage a section of city code that would force the wells’ closure in the interest of community health and safety. Instead, Freeport reactivated the idle wells, restoring the flow of natural gas just across the street from the Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Studies, named after envi(Continued on page 10)

of $165,000 and re-appropriate UASI grant funds remaining from FY-2014-2015 in the amount of $325,000 Authorization was also given to Mayor James Butts to execute an agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE) to provide an easement and right-of-way for underground electrical supply and communications systems at the site of the new senior center, located at
111 N. Locust St. A Temporary Shoring Easement Agreement was also approved between the City of Inglewood, as the Successor Agency to the Inglewood Redevelopment Agency, and Regency Towers Senior Housing, L.P., to aid in the construction of the new senior center. Payment in the amount of $1,500 was approved to cover the legal costs of reviewing the easement.
Leroy Fisher complained that multiple requests for Republic Services to pick up items have gone unanswered. “We are paying all this money and they have an open-ended contract…” he said. Mayor Butts instructed Asst. City Manager Mike Falkow to handle the matter. A young man came to “call for accountability and transparency from the City” in connection with the officer-involved shooting deaths of Marquintan Sandlin and Kisha Michael on Feb. 21. “I’m here to lift up the names of the families involved…The families are saying that the City has not reached out,” he said. “That’s not true,” Mayor Butts replied. “The brother of (Sandlin) reached out and the City donated $4,000 for his burial.” Councilman Alex Padilla is host(Continued on page 11)

he violence that occurred at Donald Trump’s rally in Chicago last week is actually a déjà vu experience in American politics. Back in 1968, violence erupted in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention. Demonstrators clashed outside the convention with nearly 12,000 police, 7500 Army troops, 7500 Illinois National Guardsmen and 1000 Secret Service agents over 5 days. Protestors were marching against the very unpopular Vietnam War. Violence began on Sunday, August 25, 1968 when antiwar leaders tried to get permits from the city to sleep in Lincoln Park, but their request was denied. By Wednesday, August 29, the confrontation had escalated to include tear gas, stink bombs, fist fights and other attacks. Now, some 48 years later, we are faced with an even worst scenario. A leading Republican presidential candidate is actually encouraging violence. Trump’s race

Women’s History Month How Many of These Early Black Feminists Do You Know? By Anita Little, Mx. Magazine
T
hough black feminists have wielded social media to make willful strides into public consciousness, black feminism is nothing new. The challenge of being doubly oppressed as a black woman has always colored feminist conversations, and minority women rarely have the luxury of fighting solely on behalf of their gender. The question of intersectionality predates hashtags and Twitter feminism and goes all the way back to impasses such as the one between black journalist Ida B. Wells and white suffragist Frances Willard. Wells implored Willard to acknowledge the evil of lynching, while Willard, blinded by her race and class privileges, believed black men to be deserving targets. Though not always recognized, black women have always made forays into the feminist dialogue to ensure black women and girls don’t remain an afterthought. In celebra-
Anna Julia Cooper tion of Black History Month, here are 11 early black feminists, in no particular order—some you’ve learned about and some you probably haven’t.

Coffee Break By Anne Cheek La Rose
L
ately I’ve been on a coffee kick instead of my usual tea drinking. I decided to look into the history of coffee and it turns out to be pretty interesting. The plant is native to subtropical Africa and some Southern Asia islands and is a shrub reaching 15 ft. Coffee first appeared as a drink in 15th century Arabia. Thought of as a “Muslim drink” in Europe, it was not until 1600, when Pope Clement VIII deemed it a Christian drink, did coffee become more widely accepted. The first coffee house opened in Rome in 1645. Coffee reached America in the Colonial Period. It wasn’t as popular as alcoholic beverages, but by the Revo-lutionary War, it had caught on big time. This was due, in part, to the increased taxes on British tea and the 1773 protest, the Boston Tea Party, where tea was dumped into the Boston Harbor. Coffeehouses and taverns appeared in Boston in 1676. One such was the Green Dragon where John Adams, James Otis, and Paul Revere
planned rebellion. After the War of 1812, and the temporary cut off of British tea imports to America, coffee took another jump in popularity. By 1860, we were the largest consumer in the world, and by 1920 we consumed half of all coffee produced worldwide. There are two main species of coffee beans commercially cultivated – arabica and robusta. Like wine, coffee has varietals (genetic subspecies) and are generally known by the region in which they are grown; Columbian, Kona, and Java are some. Arabica beans are grown in Latin America, eastern Africa, and Asia, while robusta beans are cultivated in Central Africa, throughout Southeast Asia, and Brazil. Instant coffee, invented in 1907, comes as a powder or freeze-dried. Maxwell House, Nescafe, Folgers, and Uban are brands we have used for years. There are 75-200mg of caffeine per 8oz cup of brewed coffee depending on the process used. Instant
sus within the medical community is that moderate regular consumption is benign or mildly beneficial for healthy individuals. It appears that coronary heart disease is no longer thought to be impacted by coffee drinking. A 2012 analysis found that moderate intake lowered the rate of heart failure and drinking four cups daily had the biggest effect. Habitual consumption has been associated with improved vascular function. In case you were wondering, the ‘coffee break’ originated in the late Anne Cheek La Rose 19th Century in Wisconsin.

Publisher’s Message (Continued from page 5) “show” speaks volumes about his cavalier attitude. But this is a real election, not Jerry Springer. Trump must be seen as the dangerous man that he really is. When he says most Mexicans are rapists and he wants to ban all Muslims, he really means it. When he tells supporters to “knock the crap” out of protestors, he means that too. There are people who will not look beyond the hype and think for themselves. So those of us who can, must vote for candidates who bring substance—not hype—to their campaigns. The only way to stop this circus is to make sure Trump is defeated in November. I cannot stress this enough. If you need to register to vote, please contact the Inglewood City Clerk’s Office at 310-412-5280 immediately or register online at lavote.net. The primary election is June 7. It’s time to stop laughing at Donald Trump because our future is at stake. This isn’t funny anymore.
Inglewood Hosts the Slimiest Kids Choice Awards to Date (Continued from page 1) Star Wars-inspired intro, “Fuller House” star John Stamos getting inducted into the prestigious (and messy!) Celebrity Slime Club, “Captain America: Civil War” stars Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans staging an awesome thumb wrestling match, and Joe Jonas performing a high-energy rendition of “Cake By the Ocean,” with his band, DNCE. Amy Poehler, who starred in the Academy Award nominated Animation Film, “Inside Out,” took the stage to accept her award for Favorite Voice from an Animated Movie, and she took the opportunity to stress the importance of being able to express one’s self freely. “I’m so happy to have been in a movie that talked about how funny our feelings can be, and how okay it is to be both happy and sad at the same time… So I want to thank Pixar for making the beautiful movie, “Inside Out.’” This is the second year in a row that Inglewood has laid out the orange carpet for one of the most fun and exciting awards shows in entertainment. Bravo!
Buying In A Sellers’ Market By Odest T. Riley, Jr., President, WLM Financial Services
W
ith the economy picking up and the real estate market starting to boom, many of us are caught in a tough spot. Wanting to reach our goal of becoming home owners, only to realize that the price on housing is high and the inventory on affordable housing is low. This is generally referred to as a sellers’ market, which means exactly what it sounds like. All the negotiating power is in the sellers’ hands. This essentially leaves the average buyers hustling to find deals. And once you find a deal, you have to be ready to move quickly, because of all the cash buyers waiting to make offers on anything in the market that is undervalued. And once a seller sees an all cash offer, it is very likely they will accept that offer, leaving the average buyer up a creek without a paddle. So where does that leave the average working person? It puts many of us in a place where we have to get into bidding wars on properties that might not be worth as much as they are selling for. With these prices, many people will put themselves in a bad position. The reason I stress all these different things is not to scare anyone away from buying a home, but to take the stress out of so many people that I have spoken to lately, who are worried that they will never be able to get into their dream home. Real estate can be a very boom or bust business and the market always has its ups and downs so today might not be the best time to buy a home, but that doesn’t mean it will be that way tomorrow.
Odest T. Riley, Jr. So if you are in the market to buy a home I want to make sure you are aware of all the things that you might be up against, so that you can arm yourself with information and put yourself in a position to be successful. Information is a key to long term financial success, and by doing a little research you can find areas that might be more affordable and possibly offer special community grants or down payment programs. As always with a little hard work and education you can find a way to make your dreams come true. At WLM Financial our goal and my dream is to teach people how to get in the position to be financially free, and with a little bit of hard work and endurance you can get there. If you have any question on anything, remember we can help you find the home and get the loan. Feel free to call me anytime at 310-905-7420, email odest@wlm financial.com or visit our Facebook page at wlmfinancial. We will be giving money saving tips all year long.
You’re in good hands.

Program on Undocumented Rights to Be Held in Honor of Cesar Chavez
he Inglewood Public Library will honor Cesar Chavez Day by welcoming the UCLA Labor Center and the Dream Resource Center to a special program for undocumented students and laborers.
Cesar Chavez The event will be held at the Gladys Waddingham Lecture Hall of the Main Library, on Wednesday, March 30, from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. The Main Library is located at 101 West Manchester Boulevard, Inglewood, CA 90301, just west of Manchester and La Brea; parking is free after 4 p.m. The UCLA Labor Center will offer two resources to the Inglewood community: • A presentation on the book, Dreams Deported: Immigrant Youth and Families Resist Deportation, using a mix of music
videos, personal stories, and a panel discussion with some of the authors. Dreams Deported is a UCLA student publication featuring stories of deportation and of courageous immigrant youth and families, who have led the national campaign against deportations and successfully challenged the President of the United States to act. • A presentation from Healthy California on health access and issues for undocumented Californians. Healthy California engages in projects that address the relationship between health and immigration. Dreams Deported has been praised by many community activists: “This powerful collection illuminates some of the real stories behind our national deportation crisis that demands an immediate and compassionate response.”—Marian Wright Edelman, president of Children’s Defense Fund “This book illustrates the urgency of building a
broad-based movement for basic human rights for all. The time is long overdue to end not only mass incarceration but also mass deportation in America.”—Dr. Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness “My music video, ‘Wake Me Up,’ features Hareth Andrade, one of the courageous immigrant youth featured in this book. Hareth represents a new generation of immigrant youth activists who are standing up, speaking out, and making change.”—Aloe Blacc, Grammy-nominated recording artist “Dreams Deported conveys our immigrant experiences of inspiration, struggle, and resistance, using the powerful tool of transformative, intimate storytelling. While US incarceration and deportation levels have hit record highs, a growing movement for justice has emerged from the shadows of fear and family separation.”—Sofia Campos, United We Dream The UCLA Center for
Labor Research and Education has also published Underground Undergrads: UCLA Undocumented Immigrant Students Speak Out, the first book in the country written by and about undocumented immigrant youth; and Undocumented and Unafraid: Tam Tran, Cinthya Felix, and the Immigrant Youth Movement, capturing the voices of a new generation who are coming out of the shadows, making history, and changing our country.

Company Re-Opens Wells Next to L.A. Elementary School (Continued from page 2) ronmental leaders Rachel Carson and Al Gore. STAND-L.A., a coalition of community groups dedicated to protecting public health from neighborhood drilling, wants immediate action to be taken against the company for converting water injection wells into gas producing wells without obtaining necessary city approval. The group is calling on the City Attorney to investigate whether the company intentionally chose to circumvent the law and put the health of Angelenos at risk in order to avoid the costs of cleanup. “The City Attorney should immediately open a criminal investigation into whether FMOG failed to obtain the required permits,” argued Richard Parks, President of the non-profit Redeemer Community Partnership. “Furthermore, the Los Angeles Fire Department should move quickly to protect taxpayers by enforcing city code that requires hundreds of idle wells to be either activated or shut down. For too long the city’s elected officials have supported oil interests over the public interest, trading public health and safety for corporate profits. We need our city leaders to move quickly to protect its residents, first and foremost.” Freeport-McMoRan Oil & Gas faces growing debt amidst falling oil prices and could be stalling to avoid costs of plugging the wells. If the company waits for bankruptcy, the burden would fall on local taxpayers to pay for the cleanup, similar to what could happen at the oil site located at Beverly Hills High School. Veneco, the company leasing the well from the Beverly Hills School District, may go bankrupt before it can fulfill a condition of its lease requiring the site be cleaned by March 2017. Should Veneco file for bankruptcy before that time, the school district would be left responsible for all costs associated with paying for the cleanup. Freeport-McMoRan could be taking a similar tack with its Washington Boulevard site, hoping to avoid paying up to $500,000 to permanently close each well. “Exposure to hazardous (Continued on page 11)

her, writing, “The difference between us is very marked. Most that I have done and suffered in the service of our cause has been in public, and I have received much encouragement at every step of the way. You, on the other hand, have labored in a private way. I have wrought in the day—you in the night. … The midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism.” Maria W. Stewart (1803-1880) Stewart began as an indentured servant and then later became an abolitionist and women’s rights activist. She was the first African American woman on record to lecture publicly on women’s rights, and her speeches often preached African American exceptionalism and the autonomy of black women. Stewart published pieces in The Liberator, the prominent newspaper of white abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, and was also active in supporting Frederick Douglass’ newspaper, The North Star, though she never wrote for it.
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) Hurston’s 1937 novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, is widely considered one of the best novels of the 20th century. “In Search of Zora Neale Hurston,” by Alice Walker, published in the March 1975 issue of Ms. magazine, helped revive interest in Hurston’s work, and the reemergence of her writing coincided with the rising popularity of black women authors such as Toni Morrison and Maya Angelou.
