PROTECT YOUR MONEY AND YOUR INFORMATION The pandemic has accelerated identity theft – and the impact on regular people is significant. In fact, Americans have lost more than $382 million to scams related to stimulus checks and unemployment benefits. Even worse, Black and Latino consumers are more likely to be victims of fraud than their white counterparts. That’s why it’s crucial to recognize activity designed to steal your hard-earned money. We sat down with Wayne Davis, community manager from the Mt. Vernon Chase branch on 22 W 1st Street, to discuss tips and best practices for securing a better financial future. New York Trend: What should consumers be looking for when it comes to scammers? Wayne Davis: Phishing is the fancy name for emails pretending to be from reputable companies – including banks. They’re really from criminals who are trying to get your personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. So, be very careful about clicking on a link in an email; instead go directly to the company’s website. And don’t click on attachments unless you’re sure it’s from someone you know and trust. New York Trend: Are there specific signs to look for? Wayne Davis: Scammers will often tell you there is a problem or a prize. They might say you are in trouble with the government, you owe money or someone in your family has an emergency. After setting up the problem or prize, scammers will pressure you to act immediately. No legitimate business or government agency will pressure you in this way or ask for your personal information over the phone or email. New York Trend: How can consumers protect their money and their information? Wayne Davis: Here are few best practices: • Create a separate password for each financial institution. This provides an additional level of protection in case there is an issue at one institution. • Monitor your accounts. Log into your accounts frequently – even daily – through online banking or on your mobile banking app to monitor transactions and your account balance. Look for transactions you don’t recognize and check your monthly statements. If there’s an issue, contact your bank right away. • Check your credit report. At least once a year, read through your credit reports carefully. You can request a free annual credit report from each of the three national credit reporting agencies, even if you don’t suspect any unauthorized activity on your account. Visit www.annualcreditreport.com. New York Trend: How does Chase protect customers from fraud? Wayne Davis: We see it as a partnership; we help protect your accounts and information, and so do you. We monitor all of our accounts around the clock, including using security measures you can’t see. Also, if we find or you flag a transaction that you didn’t authorize, we offer Zero Liability Protection, meaning you won’t be held responsible for it. Stop by the Mt. Vernon Chase branch on 22 W 1st Street to learn more about JPMorgan Chase’s commitment to customer security through our fraud prevention and protection tools. I look forward to working with you.

ACTUM’S GLOBAL OUTREACH EXPANDS WITH NEW CO-CHAIR

Actum LLC, the fastest growing public strategy firm in the United States, has announced Ruben Diaz Jr. has joined the company as Co-Chair. The former Bronx Borough President and New York State Assembly member brings unprecedented experience and a deep network to Actum’s leadership team and valuable guidance on the inner workings of government for clients. As Co-Chair, Diaz Jr. adds to Actum’s formidable capabilities in government, communications and activation of communities of color and will offer key insight into the political landscape of New York and across the country. “ Actum is building an extraordinary platform that drives outcomes for clients while elevating the voices of communities of color. In less than a year, it has established itself as a global powerhouse, a direct result of its strong core values and quality people leading each client engagement. I am honored to join this team and help the company grow,” said Ruben Diaz Jr. “Ruben was a transformational Borough President who united diverse communities

to usher in a new era for the Bronx. Thanks to that work, the borough is today a booming global destination. His leadership, vision, and bridge-building skills will be an asset to Actum, which has quickly established itself as one of the leading coalition builders in Black and Brown communities. We are happy to welcome Ruben to our team,” said Rachel Noerdlinger, Partner at Actum.

longtime friend of the Borough President. “Ruben is a tremendous addition to the Actum team. He is an icon in the Bronx and a respected statesman in national politics. The same innovation and creativity he brought to the Borough President’s office will bring real value to Actum and its clients,” said Antonio Villaraigosa, Co-Chair at Actum and former Mayor of Los Angeles.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Ruben to our team and know he will make an immediate impact on our company and clients. Actum’s strategists have served in the highest levels of government, media and business and translate that high level experience to outcomes for clients. Ruben’s addition to our team is further evidence that we are building something different at Actum,” said Michael McKeon, Partner at Actum.

“Actum’s national Black and Brown public affairs team, led by Rachel Noerdlinger and supported by Fabian Nunez, Antonio Villaraigosa and a cadre of young, talented professionals, just got even stronger with Ruben’s addition,” said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who earlier this year tapped Diaz as a board member for the National Action Network. “Whether it is standing up for the people of Vieques, Puerto Rico who endured generational damage from Navy bombing exercises, fighting for justice for the family of Amadou Diallo, or moving the Bronx forward as a City and State elected official, Ruben makes a difference in whatever endeavor he undertakes. His hiring solidifies Actum’s position as the go-to team for public affairs.”

“I am happy to congratulate Ruben on this incredible opportunity. He is already a force in the Black and Brown community and my brother will continue to build opportunities for us in his role as Chairman at Actum,” said Fat Joe, hip hop legend, Bronx community advocate and

NEWS NEW PLAN TO ADDRESS HEALTH INEQUALITIES IN MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES BodiMetrics has announced several new initiatives that address health inequality in the wearable medical technology industry and increase multicultural communities’ awareness of the implicit racial bias in commercial pulse oximeters. Research published by several organizations, including the New England Journal of Medicine, has raised concerns about dangerous inaccuracies in pulse oximeters, devices that measure blood oxygen, when used by African Americans and other patients with darker skin tones. Other recent studies have also found that smartwatches and fitness bands are less effective at tracking the heart rate of people of color. “BodiMetrics medical devices’ ability to deliver accurate data is the primary reason I decided to work with them,” said Dr. Meir Kryger, professor of Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine at Yale University. “Most other popular fitness devices do not provide accurate medical information for all populations. BodiMetric’s Prevention circul+ ring does.” BodiMetrics, makers of the Prevention circul+ wellness monitoring ring, previously published studies demonstrating that the Circul wellness rings provide accurate blood oxygen and heart rate readings for people of all skin tones. Now the company is taking further steps to promote health equity, including new research partnerships in the United Kingdom and Portugal to study skin sensitivity in sensors medical professionals can use to monitor health.

“Health inequality is a major issue. Our mission has always been to provide the very best data with our devices,” said Neil Friedman, BodiMetrics Co-founder and COO. “We built the Prevention circul+ to work for everyone. And we will continue to form the right relationships within consumer circles and the greater medical community to bring our solutions where they are needed.” In the United States, BodiMetrics recently formed a collaboration with Kelvin E. Boston, the best-selling financial author, entrepreneur, and host of Moneywise with Kelvin Boston, a multicultural financial wellness TV series. The collaboration will raise awareness about the Prevention circul+ for African American and multicultural consumers and healthcare providers through a new online marketing campaign, online healthcare marketplace, and sponsorship of the new Moneywise with Kelvin Boston TV series being produced for public TV stations and streaming platforms. “The Prevention circul+ wellness ring is an empowering, affordable, and easy to use wellness ring,” said Kelvin Boston. “I’m excited about informing communities of color about BodiMetric’s circul+ ring because it can help reduce health disparities by giving everyone the power to accurately monitor vital health signs, sleep, and exercise regardless of their skin tone. Now everyone can use the power of digital health monitoring to help secure a longer and healthier life.” Marilyn French Hubbard, Ph.D., President, and CEO of Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise: Change Agents, LLC and

former Corporate Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer of Henry Ford Health, explains why the BodiMetrics research and collaborations with Dr. Meir Kryger and Kelvin Boston matter. “CDC data reveals that many racial groups are at greater risk for illness, hospitalizations, and dying before their time from the COVID-19 viruses and other preventable diseases. BodiMetric studies and collaborative efforts are timely, welcomed, and needed to help address America's health disparities."

direct result of being in this class.

ENTER TAINMENT TLC’S HIT SERIES RETURNS MY FEET ARE KILLING ME is back for season 4 — and bringing seriously extreme medical issues with it.

Throughout the new season, Dr. Brad Schaeffer, Dr. Ebonie Vincent and Dr. Sarah Haller will deal with a large mass, a foot that “looks like a big volcano, bubbling over about ready to erupt,” and enter an “unchartered territory” of podiatry.

DR. EBONIE VINCENT (Image provided by TLC)

In the season premiere, a woman fears losing her foot after walking on a broken tibia for 10 years, golf ball-sized bunions may prevent another woman from ever running again, and a man is dealing with intense foot pain after his big toe was transplanted to his hand.

Other cases featured during the season will include a woman whose feet have grown horns, three sisters who are all suffering from various foot fungi, a man whose foot looks like a hobbit foot, growing to twice its size due to a case of gout, and a woman with a severe case of webbed feet where only a unique treatment using fish scales in conjunction with surgery can help. Through it all, the three doctors graciously handle each patient in hopes of giving them pain-free lives. Season 4 of My Feet Are Killing Me will premiere Wednesday, May 4 at 9/8c on TLC.

Oliver, a two-time Hall of Fame inductee of Florida A&M University’s track division, added, “I am honored to be a part of telling their stories at a time when all of us welcomes inspiration from these amazing overcomers in Georgia history.” Also, a Georgia resident, Oliver joins Ross, who is the Filmmaker-in-Residence of Ours Studios.

Norville, Joy Payton-Stevens, Shea Scruggs, Weston Sprott, and Titus Underwood. BON will galvanize the industry, break down barriers to inclusion, and confront long-standing inequities in treatment and process. On Monday, May 2, 2022, BON launches its first public-facing campaign focused on advancing equity and inclusion in American orchestras. Through an open letter — “Dear American Orchestras”—BON calls for American orchestras to take decisive action against racial injustice in the industry. The campaign provides a platform for allies who seek a race equity culture to commit to change in

the orchestral community. The letter calls for: 1. Orchestras — through their Boards, management, musicians, and music directors—to hire Black musicians and support opportunities for emerging Black artists. 2. Funders — both institutional and individual—invest in the long-term viability of organizations already committed to Black orchestral artistry and think big about the possibilities for American orchestras in our changing culture and society. 3. Unions, particularly the American Federation of Musicians and related conferences (ICSOM, ROPA), to stand in solidarity with Black members by honoring the values of fair workplaces and addressing barriers to fair and equitable audition and tenure practices. On Monday, May 9, 2022, BON calls for a Day of Solidarity, an opportunity for allies, champions, and supporters, within the music industry and beyond to amplify the call to action of “Dear American Orchestras.” Supporters are asked to amplify the campaign by posting a single graphic—provided by BON— to their social timelines. The graphic will be a mosaic of the thousands of Black orchestral

THE AR T S BLACK FEMALE SUPERHERO The now 5-time International Independent Award-Winning Film, SUGAR is a fictional tale about a single parent Mom / successful boutique owner by day, who masquerades as a vigilante by night protecting battered and abused women. Written, Directed and Produced by Indie Award winning filmmaker Jermaine Quick, the CEO of illadelstyles Entertainment LLC and EQ Films Productions. SUGAR will premiere on the big screen June 16th 6pm @ the Landmark Ritz 5 Theater 214 Walnut St. in Philadelphia, PA. Physical abuse on woman has always been considered an isolated event. Overturning Roe vs. Wade makes women more vulnerable. Thus, SUGAR (played by New York Actress Cynthia Belcher) empowers women to take charge of their life. Incorporating the nostalgia of the Black Women Comic Book heroes of the past, SUGAR depicts a single mother that is raising her daughter “Laniya,” (played by the sensational young Philadelphia actress Giselle Martin). Sugar’s heroic efforts at night get entangled with her day life, and causes Laniya to get kidnapped by her nemesis. Will she be able to protect the interest of Sugar, or will she melt away in despair? This 93 min. drama/ action indie film is registered in over 40 film festivals across the world and has received 5 awards to date. The award-winning writer and director Jermaine Quick continues to make films that question our social environment and our temperament towards the physical ill’s of this world.

at the Big Palm Oasis, Enamel decides he’d rather be alone. But when an epic sandstorm blows in, Enamel saves the day. Using his teeth in a very “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer” fashion, Enamel leads his scared classmates home to their worried parents. The town thanks him with an award for heroism, and everyone starts brushing their teeth and smiling. Enamel the Camel is an upbeat humorous story for children about sticking out, stepping up, and the importance of good dental care written by Dr. Mike King, a pediatric dentist in New York City since 1986. In his dental practice, Dr. Mike as he is called, uses jokes, magic tricks, and a calming nature to treat his young patients. Enamel the Camel is his latest book to help children understand and appreciate their teeth. He has pioneered the philosophy or “flossophy” as he likes to call it, that smiling and laughing should be part of a child’s dental experience. Enamel wishes he were like all the other camels who live in Camel-lot, but his front teeth are bigger than anyone else’s. And they stick out! He’s the only camel who brushes his teeth – he has to because everyone can see them. Comedian and dentist, Mike King, has built his pediatric dental practice in
