Nashville - September/October 2017

Author and Lover of People Healing Flows was written as a spiritual and emotional release. It details my faithjourney with infertility and high-risk pregnancy. It looks at those issues in the face and speaks to men and women everywhere because my battle may not be their battle. For every problem, GOD has a solution. I instruct readers how to trust God for the impossible. I also speak to issues of depression, anxiety, and loss. These are things that we don’t like to talk about in the Black Community; but if we can have it, then God can heal it. We just have to believe, and I have been chosen to share my journey in order that someone else may be healed and set free.

One On One Who is Ambi Shantay?

Ambi Shantay is my brand but I also wear a lot of hats. I am a wife, a mother, a daughter, minister, a visionary-and with all those hats, I have to be somebody different in each role. I am the person you want to call on the phone and ask for advice, but you’re not really sure that you are ready to receive what that person has to say. I can love on you and give you the words you need to hear; but at the same time, I am that person that’s going to hold you accountable and allow you to really look inside yourself and pull out those things that you desired to keep hidden. I’m everybody’s sister.

What is Your Testimony?

I am ecstatic to be celebrating 5 years in ministry this year ! Not only am I celebrating 5 years in ministry, but I am doing what I love to do. What better way to celebrate than with the release of my brand new book! God has called me to tend to the hearts of my sisters, and it’s not a task that I take lightly. I am also grateful for the leadership of my shepherd Jason Scales and Lady Barbara, pastors of Believers Faith Fellowship, who allows me to freely walk in my calling and encourages us to define our destiny and walk in our purpose. I can finally say that I am doing just that, and it is a great feeling. The process is not always easy and we don’t always understand it, but it’s definitely worth the struggle. A lot of people won’t see what has been planted inside of you. It’s not for them to see. Stay the course! Don’t give up.

What do you love about writing?

I have always loved writing, yet I’ve always pursued it as a hobby. Whether it was just journaling or writing devotionals and sharing them when I minister, I never took it further. I considered journalism when I went to college, but I ended up pursuing a degree in Corporate and Organizational Communication because my passion for speaking was greater. I never had a desire to actually be an author; which is so ironic. My first book “Healing Flows”, I consider an assignment directly from the Lord, so of course I had to be obedient. I had recently given birth to my first child and I was suffering from post-partum depression. I didn’t know how to express my emotions. There were so many and I just felt alone like I couldn’t talk to anyone, and so I started back writing. However, I didn’t know that my written thoughts were going to be shared with the world. Two years later I was in prayer and I was asking God to move me to the next level. Clear as day, I heard “write your book”. I didn’t have to question Him because I already knew what He wanted.

“The greatest faith any of us could possess is the ability to believe without seeing....

I call this “Crazy Faith.”

Nashville - September/October 2017

T

here isn’t just one word that can sufficiently describe this remarkable and talented individual.

Introduced to the poetry circuit in 2001 and affectionately named, “Chiccy Baritone” (Pronounced “chick-y”) Charlene Evans lives up to the full meaning of her stage name - Chic, well-put together (spiritually and emotionally).

First, she is a Christian and poet who has a talent for manipulating words as a means of expressing herself. She is also a writer, bookworm, traveler, and coffee connoisseur who has a natural love for people and culture. Her work as a poet is spiritually grounded and inspired by God. While she speaks, Chiccy hopes that something spoken will minister to the souls of others.

Baritone uses her deep melodic alto voice to share her life stories in the form of poetry with much authority. Her work can best be described as spiritually grounded, filled with real life situations and God-filled solutions.

Before discovering the gift of poetry, Chiccy worked corporately as an engineer, focusing on project controls and product development, all while balancing her love for arts and technology. She believed managing a professional career and a career as a poet helped cultivate a desire for social change and empowerment.

“I discovered the gift of poetry while doing pageants at Spring Valley High School during my junior and senior year. While trying to decide what I was going to do as my talent, I knew I loved to read poetry so I decided to do monologues. Once I graduated from high school, I entered college at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, SC with the desire to start writing. Right before graduating I visited an “open-mic” event where I opened my personal notebook and began reading poetry that expressed my growing pains in college,” she says.

Upon moving to Greenville, SC in 2001, she took poetry a little more seriously and started memorizing her work, until she started Chiccy Baritone Productions in 2004.

God is a keeper. From 2009 to 2016 she has experienced several challenges in life. One being very painful, was the death of her mom, Viola Evans, and a bitter moment with the deaths of her two best friends, Mertyse Lemons and Tavis Brunson. At those times in her life, Baritone recognized how close she was to falling deeply into depression but says God continued to keep her through it all. “My relationship with Jesus and the power of the word of God continues to strengthen and motivate me to live my life for God and to fulfill every assignment that God appoints,” she says.

Baritone is not content with being the last in line. She has strategically moved her way to the front of the line where she maintains a strong presence.

Looking forward Baritone hopes to complete a couple of books, one for poetry and another dedicated to the memory of her mom. She plans to continue to work on her next CD titled, “Wildflower Vol. 2” along with her band in Greenville, SC. She will also host “Breakfast for Champions/Women Empowering Women” sessions throughout the United States. Her first independent session h

After the party, requests came pouring in for her cakes, so many that Monique was barely able to keep up with the demand. The requests continued for a long time and prompted her to turn her new found passion into a small business. She did and has been baking ever since.

Over the past three years, Cupcakes by Mo has expanded its product offerings to more than just cupcakes.

Monique is a single mother, college graduate, and entrepreneur.

She is also a proud member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church where Bishop Joseph W. Walker is the pastor. She grew up in East Nashville with her mother and two younger siblings. She was the model student who never missed a day of school in her entire life. “Growing up I’ve always envisioned myself as a business woman. Back then I didn’t really know what it would entail. I just wanted to wear a business suit, carry a brief case, wear high heels, and make a lot of money,” she said. She is also a very quiet and reserved person who loves to read business, marketing, and self-help books. “I think knowledge is power.” Monique also has a passion for helping others, especially single mothers. Earlier this year she started a non-profit organization, Single Moms Club of Nashville with a focus to help, empower, and uplift single mothers in the Nashville area.

Cupcakes by Mo is a one woman show. Monique does everything herself, including marketing, website development, customer service, answers all emails and order request, bakes, and decorates. She does this all while working a full time job. She works so hard because she is determined to provide a better lifestyle for herself and daughter. Her discipline and work ethics are inherently natural. Her mother is a gogetter and taught her how to be independent and self-sufficient.

Cupcakes By Mo www.cupckaesbymo.com

Monique is also inspired by Mignon Francois, owner of The Cupcake Collection, a cupcake shop in Nashville. “From the day we met, she was sweet and very supportive of my dreams. Because of her I know it’s possible to be successful and thrive in this industry.”

Monique likes the way things are headed with Cupcakes by Mo, and says she wouldn’t change anything but would like to add more to the business. In the future she plans to open a store front and work solely for herself and daughter. If you are in the Nashville area, be sure to h contact Monique and enjoy her delicious sweets and treats!

Mount Zion Baptist Church of Greensboro, Inc.

H

By Dawn Cauthen-Thornton Photos by Still Shots Photography ow does a young boy from the third ward of New Orleans, Louisiana manage to lead Mount Zion Baptist Church, one of the largest churches in Greensboro, North Carolina? Simply put, it was in God’s plan.

Like many black families, the Pierce’s typically spent Sundays in church. From the children to the adults, everyone knew how important worshipping was so when Bryan Pierce was a mere five years old, he was baptized. The Pastor held him in his hands and told his mother that her son was going to be a preacher. He gave her specific instructions on how he should be raised and that she most certainly should pray over him every single day. His mother knew she had a task on her hands and allowed Bryan and his siblings to listen to recorded children’s Bible stories to ensure they understood its teachings.

A year after his baptism, the first grader began to get reprimanded for talking in class, until one day, his teacher decided to call him to the front of the room and allow him to share what was so heavy on his six-year-old mind. Bryan stood up and explained to his peers what he had been learning during his home Bible study sessions. His teacher was speechless. She was so moved that she called in another teacher (who was also a Christian) to come and hear him speak on things that no other child his age knew. Stunned, both teachers shuffled him to every classroom on their hall throughout that week to show off their prized pupil. Bryan remembers, “They eventually called my mother and said they wanted her to come and see what I had been up to in school, so of course she thought I was in trouble. And so did I.” Unbeknownst to young Bryan and his mother, he was listed on the program to share his biblical knowledge during the next school assembly – in front of the entire school. Once his mother saw the prophesy come to pass, she broke down in tears and ushered him back to the Pastor who had originally baptized him, showing him the gift that he had spoken of.

Nashville - September/October 2017

“Because there were skeptics, the Pastor wanted to ‘watch me’ to see for himself. They wanted to know that it was real,” explained the Bishop. So, for the next three years he was under his Pastor’s direct tutelage as he dug deeper into his faith. At nine years old, the man who had taken Bryan under his wing and observed the true gift he had been blessed with decided it was time. It was time for him to share this anointed young man with the world.

Bryan was finally licensed.

Bishop Pierce traveled around the city as well as neighboring states preaching whatever God had put on his heart. “I was called on for almost every youth event nearby. I didn’t have notes or a manuscript to work from. I would just read what was in the Bible and then talk about it.” There were newspaper clippings and articles showing him preaching the gospel at revivals and events all over the area.

doesn’t know the Lord. And I’m sometimes disappointed when I see new pastors abandon the foundation that got us here. There are some that just talk about money and not the core values like salvation and loving your neighbor.”

It’s evident that Bishop Pierce hasn’t gotten to where he is by mistake, but by favor. He knows absolutely that to whom much is given, much is definitely required. He feels he was chosen by God to deliver his message to the masses and there are many who echo those same sentiments.

During our two-hour conversation, I can see why he is so loved by the church he leads, Mount Zion Baptist Church. He is never content where he is. He’s always searching for another soul to touch and another life to change. It’s a good thing he started with himself all those years ago. h

Years went by before young Bryan started feeling the pressures of being in his position. His friends started shunning him. Not because they were jealous, but because they respected his calling. They revered him so much that they wouldn’t allow him to hang out with them, citing his ‘Preacher Boy’ status. At that time, the streets of New Orleans were dangerous and filled with gangs and violence, even more than it is today. “When I wanted to go do things with them and have fun, they would say no and send me home.” Bryan quickly grew tired of that and tried to boost his street status by rebelling against what he knew was right. He slowly drifted away from school and his faith to ‘fit in’. He wanted to shed the ‘Preacher Boy’ image and the perfect life the community expected him to lead. On Sunday, he would still attend church and fulfill his holy duties, but during the week, he ran the streets with the wrong kids. He even skipped class so he could continue to portray this defiant persona. It took the tragic death of two of his close friends, within the same year, for Bryan to clearly hear God’s voice.

“He told me that those were strikes one and two…the third strike would be me.”

He learned that when God speaks, he has no choice but to listen. Even if that means letting go of all that you know and all that you think you love. At Bryan’s request, his parents packed up and moved the family across town to save their children. Unfortunately, because he had missed almost the entire school year due to hanging out, he decided to officially drop out of school and did not graduate with his class.

Bryan went on to become an ordained minister at 19 and later earned his High School diploma. Knowing that God had bigger things in store, he also earned an Associate’s degree in Biblical Studies, a Bachelor’s degree in Divinity, and next year will defend his thesis to obtain a Master’s degree.

Bishop Joseph W. Walker delivered an inspiring message, and Tasha Cobbs-Leonard led the affirmation ceremony in worship.

It would be fair to say that Bishop Pierce has had an eventful life. His speaking ability allowed him to travel throughout his home state and share the word of God. However, he had another talent that took him even further; singing. He was once a third of the award-winning gospel group, ‘Men of Standard’. For years, he divided his time between traveling the world sharing his musical gifts, then running back home to help pastor a local church. He realized he couldn’t do both and decided it was time to plant his feet firmly in God’s house; First in Concord, NC then later in Greensboro where he is currently the head pastor and CEO of Mount Zion Baptist Church.

With four children to raise (three sons and a daughter), Bishop Pierce and his wife of 22 years, Debra, saw the value in slowing down to actually enjoy being parents and best friends to each other. “I view my success not by how big my church is and how many awards I get, but…,” he gets choked up, “but that my son jumped in the car after his practice the other night and thanked me for showing up to his games and practices. That’s success to me. Because at the end of the day, my son knows that I didn’t put a meeting or a service or someone else before him.”

Bishop Pierce knows all too well how imperative it is for a man to show up in his child’s life. He saw too many of his friends led astray by not having that guidance. He’s a role model not only to the children in his home, but to many in his church and other new pastors wanting to travel the same road.

Oftentimes parishioners and seekers of the cloth don’t see the logistics and the dedication behind running a successful organization. “You have to a have a ‘whosoever’ will. Your target audience should be whomever

Paranda Davis W

By Dawn Cauthen Thornton Photos by Todd Youngblood

hatever your age at this very moment, can you imagine what you were doing when you were eight years old? I’m positive I was either playing with my Barbie’s, riding my bike, or running around in the yard barefoot.

Paranda Davis may have been doing the same, but she was also learning about saving money and buying real estate.

Though she was born in Charlotte, her late grandparents, Raymond and Velma Davis, raised her on a farm in Norwood, N.C. along with 16 children of their own. Her mother gave birth to her as a teenager, but her grandparents decided they would step in to make sure she and her younger sister were raised in a stable house, as Jehovah’s Witnesses, with two loving parents and a host of aunts and uncles to watch over them.

Her beloved grandfather was the person who originally sparked her interest in real estate. “One day I was listening to him think out loud and he mentioned purchasing land nearby. He explained that if 14 of his 16 children invested $1,000 they would own it.” That conversation sparked Paranda’s interest in investing, which led to her buying her first home at 19. She still owns that home 20 years later, along with others, and rents them.

If you have gone through the tedious process of capturing a piece of the American pie as much as this mother of six (five biological children and one foster child) has, you know that it can be bitter at times. Administering credit checks, applying for loans, and sifting through bank statements can twist anyone’s brain into knots. That’s where Paranda Davis, “The Credit Beast” comes in.

For the last four years, she’s helped countless customers learn about debt, credit, interest rates, and what it takes to live the life they’ve dreamed about. While creating this business on paper, the entrepreneur sharpened her skills working part time at a financial services firm and attending the University of Phoenix to obtain an associates degree in Business Administration. She also supported her family by working third shift as a Certified Nurses Assistant, as well as dabbling in construction and other lines of work.

She worked around the clock to provide for her family, but realized it just wasn’t benefitting her. She was ready to settle into a career and find one thing that would allow her more stability. “My cousin, Patinesia Davis, gave me the idea to actually go into business for myself. She mentioned that I’ve always helped people with their finances and counseled them on how to have good credit, and that I should think about it as my own business.”

CLIENT TESTIMONY I would like to commend you on being a professional that is compassionate to your clients needs and diligent in your follow ups. It is clear to me that you were God sent and used as a vehicle to carry me through a rough patch and across the finish line. I’m firm believer of the importance of having valuable supporters to help achieve your goals or whatever it is in life one chooses to accomplish. I know wholeheartedly that I couldn’t have achieved this without your expertise and a host of others that have been my biggest supporters. Thank you for being you, and thank you for understanding my needs, believing in my needs and being the Credit Beast that you are. You have definitely earned that title.

Shinique Pernell

Paranda did just that. She thought about how she could help herself and help others at the same time. She earned her associates degree in 2008 just as the housing market crashed. It was much harder to purchase a home and other big ticket items. Having and maintaining good credit was more important than ever now.

Over the next few years she continued to cultivate her idea. When it was time, her longtime partner, Akeem Davis, urged her to forge ahead with what had been on her heart all her life. He gifted her money to apply for a business license and take certification classes that would ultimately lead to opening “Davis Future Planning, LLC”. She is certified, licensed, and bonded and since 2013, Paranda has counseled hundreds of people on budgeting, saving, building wealth, how to use credits cards responsibly, and of course, increasing their credit score. She’s so passionate that she is currently in the process of developing classes to offer in schools, detention centers, and other organizations to help the community thrive. In addition, her book “How to Get an 800 Credit Score” will be on local shelves for purchase in October.

When asked about teaching children about money, she makes it sound very simple. “I started with telling my children to turn off lights in each room of the house or cutting their shower times in half. It runs up the [utility] bills.

When we go to the grocery store, I tell them how much we can spend and what we need to buy. That’s budgeting.” Starting when they’re young is key.

Pictured below are Paranda’s Grandparents

If Paranda’s story sounds easy, make no mistake. It wasn’t. With the help of her mom and other close relatives, she escaped a cruel and abusive 12 year marriage a decade ago. “My husband killed me. He choked me until all my bodily fluids were released from my body. I literally saw the light. But I told God that I was not ready to go.” In a panic, Paranda’s ex-husband performed CPR (after choking her) and revived her. Now she helps other victims overcome similar circumstances while aiding them in rebuilding their finances to start a new life, just as she did.

Her philosophy is simply, “When you give up, the enemy wins.” Thank goodness Paranda Davis didn’t give up. There are many people across the state who have benefitted from her guidance. h

Shay Stanley Myrtle Beach Resident Launched Her Own Line of Hair Care Products

By Terry L. Watson Photos by Pure Artistic Studio

S

hay Stanley has built a hair product line on one principle, “do it with passion or not at all”. At the start of Shay’s career she worked as a licensed Cosmetologist in someone else’s salon before opening her own salon, Styles By Mizz Shay in Little River, South Carolina (located within 15 minutes of Myrtle Beach) in 2013.

As a stylist she specializes in Silk Presses, Blowouts, Relaxers, Styled Cuts, Color, Natural Hair, and Extensions. While operating a salon in a beach community, Stanley noticed many of her clients’ hair were adversely affected by high humidity and a lack of moisture. She responded by creating a line of hair care products that would directly address their issues. Thus, Desire Transformation Hair Care was born.

Desire Transformation Hair Care is designed to infuse moisture and proteins that aid in eliminating frizz while leaving the hair soft and manageable. Some of their products include Detox Therapy Shampoo, Hydrating Moisture Shampoo, Moisturizing Silking Conditioner, Shiny Satin Silk, and Hair Growth Oil. They also offer personable selections and travel kits. All of the Desire Transformation Hair Care products are available online.

The transformation experience is what Shay loves about her products and services. “I chose this career because I wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. I understand the needs of my clients and I am able to meet them by providing a level of service that brings life back into their hair,” she says. “At my salon, I provide an atmosphere that promotes healthy hair and beauty, both outward and inward. It is impossible for one to leave and not feel transformed.”

Moving forward, Stanley hopes to expand Desire Transformation’s presence in the marketplace to that of the bigger brands. She also hopes to conduct continuing education classes and seminars for other stylists in and around South Carolina.

Richmond’s Counseling Service Celebrates Their One Year Anniversary

Shawnrell Blackwell & Tangee Moore

A

vail Outpatient Counseling, often referred to as “Avail,” is a small, certified woman and minority-owned (SWAM), private practice with a mission to empower and heal the total person —mind, body, and soul. By definition, the word Avail is two-fold. One stance, means to use or take advantage of an opportunity or available resource and the other means to help or benefit someone or something. Either way, it is how the business name was coined.

“The Avail Way™ best describes the company’s practices. They are devoted to providing services focused on the person, healing, and is goal directed.

Tangee Moore, LCSW and Shawnrell Blackwell, PhD both founded Avail on July 17, 2016. Moore and Blackwell, aka “Dr. B” met as strangers, both with a shared vision for helping others. The pair held several meetings and discussions before ultimately deciding to join forces, thus Avail Counseling Services was born.

The founders of Avail believe in staying true and authentic to their vision. Blackwell is a single mother of a college-bound African American male whom she says is her greatest accomplishment.

Despite the many obstacles she faced in life such as growing up in poverty, being a victim of sexual abuse as a child, and becoming a teenage mother, Shawnrell defeated the odds. She became a school principal and earned her Ph.D. at the age of 27. She used dancing as a coping mechanism throughout her life to create a means of balance.

She is best known for her leadership skills, motivational speaking, and passion for helping others who’ve faced obstacles as she has, while empowering and teaching them how to be better. Her mantra is “to live, laugh, love, and dance like no one is watching”.

Nashville - September/October 2017

Moore is a ‘SOULcial’ worker whose purpose is being the light for others. She is also a mother, wife, blogger, and avid cyclist.

Determined to bring forth change and better opportunities, Moore often references a quote by Oprah Winfrey, “Know what sparks the light in you. Then use that light to illuminate the world.” After long days of being a vessel and touching the souls of others, she refuels by spending quality time with her family. “My daughters, ages two and six, mean everything to me. I fill their lives with experiences, not just things,” she says. Her blog, Tangee Taught U (www. tangeetaughtu.com) has nearly 200 posts offering healthy recipes for Food, Fun, and Fitness. Cooking vegetarian and pescatarian meals is a big part of Moore’s self-care, as well as being active and maintaining fitness. She is a founding member of BreakawayRVA (www.breakawayrva.com), which was born with a mission to build community through biking, and biking through community.

Breakaway RVA provides people with a chance to break away from the current status quo, changing the norm – getting off that app, hopping on a bike, making a new friend and exploring the best Richmond has to offer. Overall, Moore is creative and sets herself apart in the world of mental health where her spirit and energy for people is unmatched.

In addition to outpatient psychotherapy and empowerment coaching, Avail’s wellness activities, AvailFit™, is a holistic approach, that provides uniquely individualized options for one to heal by including their body and soul in the process. This includes Reiki, Pilates for Stress and Anxiety, Dr. B. Therapy, Guided Meditations, and more. Avail looks at the mind, body, and spirit as parts of one’s self that profoundly affects one another. Blackwell and Moore are true believers in change and that people can create the life they want.

The overarching vision of Avail is to help people connect the dots as they explore dysfunctional or non-beneficial ways of thinking, eating, relating, and behaving, and to support them in incorporating new ways of existing which leads to abundance, fulfillment, and congruence.

“What we love most about being business owners is being true believers of what we prescribe, and practicing what we preach.

We are always participating in community events and giving back.

Whether it is feeding the homeless, lending a hand with art groups for the senior community, or conducting fitness classes for college students. Our success depends on our connection with the citizens who need our services,” they said.

Avail services are intended for individuals who are nonhospitalized, may be on medications, and welcome holistic measures to heal.

Their psychotherapy sessions focus on healing and understanding. Avail’s empowerment coaching sessions focus on helping individuals evolve and manifest their true potential.

Both disciplines are intended to work with fully functioning individuals/couples who are facing difficult situations. Both professions focus on helping people makes changes and accomplish meaningful goals. Avail wellness activities, referred to as AvailFit™, focuses on equipping individuals with techniques and tools they can employ on their journey back towards wholeness.

Avail’s target population includes individuals from age seven to adults who are having difficulty with mental health, addiction, relationships, health, and corporate wellness.

They are targeted because they are most likely to experience emotional, mental, and behavioral distress resulting from psychiatric, substance abuse conditions, or life stressors that impact or debilitate their overall functioning. Avail also strives to work with individuals who are motivated to change and ready to heal. Though their services are voluntary, Moore and Blackwell are committed to working to meet the needs of those who want to discover their true self and true potential.

In the future, Avail’s goal is to become a fully operational Counseling & Wellness Center. “We envision having a facility where people can pause amidst the chaos of the world and seek services that will offer them the comfort of holistic care for their mind, body, and soul. Our grandest vision is to expand and have a small group of therapists, empowerment coaches, health, wellness, and fitness instructors supporting our dream and offering the traditional and nontraditional approaches to healing that we believe in,” the pair said. h

Mary Ann Adams IRS Enrolled Agent

T/E General Accounting & Tax Service

Nashville, Do You Know What A Enrolled Agent Is?

I

t’s a question that I am asked often! It seems that, we are America’s best kept secret. Most people either individually or professional are not aware of what an Enrolled Agent (EA) is, how an Enrolled Agent can help them with their taxes, tax representation, resolution, or advice.

An Enrolled Agents (EA), just like Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and Tax Attorneys, are individuals who are eligible, qualified, and certified to represent Taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In other words, they can help individuals with their business and/or personal tax returns and can represent them before the IRS, in all matters except for Tax Court. Only attorneys and individuals who have passed the “Tax Court Exam for NonAttorneys” are authorized to argue cases before Tax Court.

According to the National Association of Enrolled Agents (NAEA), EA’s are America Tax Experts! An Enrolled Agent status is the highest credential the IRS awards. To become a credentialed EA, the person must pass an IRS test covering individual and business tax laws and regulations or worked for the IRS for five years or more with specific experience.

Individuals who obtain this elite status must adhere to ethical standards and complete 72 hours of continuing education courses every three years.

All candidates are subject to an IRS background check and can be “disbarred” from practice before the IRS for misdeeds. An EA can also be disbarred for failing to meet their continuing education requirements.

Enrolled agents have unlimited practice rights.

This means they are unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices

they can represent clients before. Because their enrollment is a federal designation, they can work across state borders, whereas CPA’s and Attorneys must meet the requirements of any state they wish to practice in.

Why clients hire us to represent them?

Craig W. Smalley, EA, explained it best: “Even if you are innocent and the police question you, you would hire an attorney, right? Why? Because police officers are adept at eliciting false confessions. You are hiring me because I have the expertise to know what the IRS can get away with and what it can’t.

In short, you are hiring me because I know exactly what your rights are.”

Enrolled Agents are regulated by the Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers for audits, collections, and appeals. There are estimated to be approximately 40,000 Enrolled Agents in the United States. There are additional Enrolled Agents living and working in foreign countries. The enrollment license has become a symbol of excellence and professionalism in the representation of all types of taxpayers before the IRS and other government tax agencies, such as State and Franchise Tax Boards. h

Raleigh, NC’s Prominent Funeral Service Provider

Carlton Gray Funeral Services

By Dr. Marrissa Dick Photos by Jerry Barbry

G

enesis 3:19 says, “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

It’s the returning to dust portion where funeral directors can ease this transition by acknowledging the emotional wellbeing of the bereaved and by providing the family with a professional presentation of their loved one’s remains.

Meet Mr. Gray, owner and operator of Carlton L. Gray Funeral and Cremation Services. Established since 2004 he and his staff are well known throughout the Wake County and Raleigh Durham area for providing quality death care services.

Their reputation even extends to international and national borders.

Discussions of death can be a daunting task, but it is a discussion that Mr. Gray has been anointed to have. From the tender age of six he knew that God had planted a seed inside of him to provide care for the dearly departed. A seed that his grandfather saw fit to water with great pride. According to Mr. Gray, “I became involved in the death care industry because I grew up around it. My grandfather was a grave digger, a laborer, in my home town and I spent a lot of time with him. As far as I can remember I’ve always wanted to be a mortician and own my own funeral home.” Mr. Gray is thankful that he never forgot his grandfather’s words of wisdom stressing the importance of him receiving an education in the field. His grandfather said, “Son, if you do decide to do this make sure you go to school and get a license so you can go further than me.” It was watching his grandfather’s spirit of excellence and humble servitude that solidified his respect for the death care industry.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 states, “The race is not given to the swift nor the strong but he who endures until the end.” This is what Mr. Gray did - - endured. Once he graduated from high school Carlton’s goals were to join the military, attend mortuary school, and eventually have his own funeral business. Upon retiring from the US Army he attended John Tyler Community College in Petersburg, Virginia where he graduated with a degree in funeral services. From there he worked at Joseph M. Johnson Funeral Home in McKenny, Virginia for a short period. Mr. Gray credits his time working under William Toney’s Funeral Homes of Spring Hope and Zebulon, North Carolina for affording him the opportunity to gain tremendous experience in serving in the death care industry. Reflecting back on attaining his goals, Mr. Gray chuckles of the times when having his own business was merely a dream. He shares, “You know most funeral directors or morticians have a story very similar to mine. Growing up I played funeral a lot. I remember embalming all of the baby dolls I could get my hands on, digging a grave in the back yard, then burying them. I would have a service and use the kids in my family and in the neighborhood as the bereaved family and of course, I was the funeral director.” He is grateful that his persistence and steadfastness has come full circle.

Nashville - September/October 2017

So, why would a family seek Carlton L. Gray Funeral and Crematory Services as the ideal business to handle their loved ones transition from this earthly world to the next? Mr. Gray is confident that it’s because of the individualized and genuine care that he and his staff provide to each family. He also believes that his services stand out from the rest of the other funeral homes in the area because they provide traditional and alternative services as well as offer international and national shipping of human remains. They have extensive experience in sending ones beloved remains to all parts of the world like Africa and South America.

Additionally, they are knowledgeable about international policy and procedures and cultural customs. Mr. Gray also believes that their business is growing through word of mouth because they help their families make wise decisions as far as choosing different options.

His patrons often tell him that once everything is over the family has peace of mind that their loved one has received quality care. Mr. Gray shares that he and his staff literally treat the families who enter their doors as though it could be someone in their own family. He says, “We all have to remember that person lying there is somebody’s wife, somebody’s husband, somebody’s mother, somebody’s father, somebody’s daughter or son and you have to treat that deceased person as though they are the most valuable person you’ve ever had and that’s something we do every time.” The funeral home provides a variety of resources that extend from your basic funeral etiquette to grief counseling and advance planning.

Another benefit of seeking Carlton L. Gray Funeral and Crematory Services would be to gain advice about resources that are available to veterans. With Mr. Gray being a veteran, he has intricate knowledge about completing the required forms so veterans can take full advantage of their death care benefits from burials to markers to receiving additional monies that a family may be entitled too. He says, “All honorable discharged veterans are entitled to a flag, monument, and a burial space in a Federal or State owned veterans cemetery. Some veterans may even be entitled to more monetary benefits depending on their status.” Mr. Gray encourages all veterans to locate their discharge papers so when that time comes their loved one knows exactly where to look for that information. He believes knowledge is power and knowing where to find information relieves half that financial stress and worry from the family. He and his staff also assist with completing Social Security benefit forms.

Mr. Gray is painfully aware that when anyone is calling upon his services that “they’re probably experiencing the worst day of their life.” Far too often families don’t know what to do or understand how to handle funeral arrangements. The one thing Mr. Gray would like to impress upon those reading this article is for anyone who is the head of their family, the bread winner, or a single parent is to have insurance and maintain it. He says, “No one has any control over death. So it’s important to plan for this day. We plan for all of these other life events like birthday parties, a graduation and a wedding and we insure the things that we value like our homes and our cars. We need to insure our lives so when we leave here we can be assured that our loved ones aren’t going to be in debt behind our untimely departure.”

Mr. Gray stresses the importance of leaving your children and grandchildren a legacy by maintaining an insurance policy. As he explains it, “Yes they’re going to miss you when you’re gone, but if you can leave them enough money to burry you and leave them enough money to go to college or enough to start a business of their own then just think how much more they would appreciate

Carlton Gray with wife Mirranda

you knowing that you had the foresight to think about bettering their future.” Mr. Gray wanted to share that purchasing insurance is very inexpensive and anyone can go to their local funeral home to acquire a policy.

Carlton L. Gray Funeral and Crematory Services is one of the first African American owned funeral homes to build and own their own crematory in North Carolina. He is hopeful that his children will carry on the legacy of the business. Mr. Gray acknowledges that we are living in a globalized world where a lot of inquiries and transactions are taking place through the Internet. He says, “You know we live in such a transient world and because of the Internet you don’t really have to go to a brick and mortar facility. We have a lot of inquiries and we communicate through the internet. I see our cremation services growing more and more. I think that’s the wave of the future and I’m glad that we’re able to accommodate those that desire that type of service.” Mr. Gray is humbled by

his patrons continued support and shows his appreciation by giving an Annual Remembrance Service for all families who have lost loved ones during the year. He recognizes that, “they can easily go anyplace else but they chose us and we don’t take it for granted. … We try to serve all of our families with the utmost professional service every time.”

Carlton L. Gray Funeral and Crematory Services is a 6,600 square foot funeral home and crematory facility located at 2810 Kidd Road, Raleigh, North Carolina. They are licensed by the National Board of Funeral Directors, the North Carolina Board of Funeral Services, the Funeral Director and Embalmer Association, and they are also an authorized insurance agent. Mr. Gray and his staff are on call 24/7 365 days a year; however, their hours of operation for their physical location are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. Call them or visit their website today to learn more about their quality funeral and cremation services and affordable pricing.

Surreal Spice Creations

S Our customers create their own deliciousness, we just make sure it’s fresh and presented well.

Nashville - September/October 2017

urreal Spice Creations is a unique, custom salad and wrap restaurant in Antioch, TN. Owner Surreal McDonald, says they use nothing but fresh ingredients to create very delicious entrees.

Surreal was raised in Detroit, MI by entrepreneurs Doyle and Pamela Johnson. She married the love of her life Tywane McDonald in 2013, while living in Charleston, S.C. She has one daughter, Veronica Adams and one stepson, Jaylen. Before opening her own restaurant, she worked in corporate America for 10 years. “I took a leap of faith and left my job to open Surreal. When my husband came on board, the business really took off. He built walls, counters, and helped outfit the business with affordable equipment,” she says. “If he didn’t step out on faith along with me, we wouldn’t be as successful as we are now.”

Surreal comes from a family of entrepreneurs. Her parents have been business owners for over 40 years and her sister has owned her business for over 20 years. Her husband’s parents were also business owners. “The apples didn’t fall far from the tree, it just took us longer to figure that out,” she said.

Surreal Spice Creations offers their customers over 50 fresh ingredients to choose from.

They can make salads or wraps, and their menu is endless with unique spins and combinations.

“There are too many unhealthy choices around town and we used to have to drive 30 minutes away for a fresh salad. I wanted to give our customers a better option than we had,” she says.

They also make fresh soups daily. The customer favorite at Surreal is their Ground Turkey Chili. “We can’t make enough of it. My personal favorite is our wild rice, chicken with lemon soup”.

Being a business owner has allowed her more flexibility with her family. “I’m showing them that their dreams can happen if they have faith and believe. As a black business owner, I thought the struggle was going to be harder than it was. I never thought we would have as many supporters as we do from all different cultures and walks of life. There is a stereotype of black businesses not being able to be successful for whatever reason. However, I feel we’re doing something right and have seemed to surpass the negatively that awaited us. We help other businesses grow and try to develop other entrepreneurs while asking for nothing in return,” she says.

For the past four months, they’ve been working on expanding their current location. They now have two units and celebrated their one year anniversary on August 27th of this year.

“We don’t plan to do anything major soon, but they recently partnered with a friend to open a gourmet popcorn shop in Antioch. It will be called “Whatz Poppin”. Stop by Surreal Spice Creations and allow them to spice up your day with some delicious food and great customer service.
