Enterprise of Black Hair Alliance
|
Collectively, We Can Make It!
Coming soon! Enterprise of Black Hair Alliance (EBHA) is in alliance with....?
To all BOBSA members and potential beauty and barber entrepreneurs in the African American hair care industry: You have followed BOBSA and have been a part of its ups and downs. Through my eyes you have experienced the hair care industry like you have never imagined. Your struggle is my struggle. When you cannot get products, you call BOBSA and we work very hard to see that you have access to the products, supplies and services you are seeking. While standing on the front line, BOBSA has always maintained and continues to work in the best interests of all of its members. We will do it again and again without hesitation.
However,
EBHA is the next plausible step to take and it will further endorse BOBSA's claim as the industry leader in African American hair care. Others, some inside and outside our community, have offered a hand but often withdrew when we accepted their offer. Since leaving Clairol, I have never been as proud as I am now of the strides that BOBSA has made to achieve the advancement of our people through their education from the branding aspect to the sales of products. This is now our time and
EBHA is coming and in alliance with.... Well let's just say that part is coming soon also. It's set and ready to go and we, you the black community, will finally benefit from the hair industry by way of what...no other than
EBHA the Enterprise Of Black Hair, who is in alliance with..... To be continued....

China and Korea Fallout -
Part II
by Ricky Washington
|
THE FOLLOWING IS A PRACTICAL PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THE TAKE OVER OF THE COMMERCIAL HAIR INDUSTRY
The commercial hair manufacturers of China have asked that we host a convention to which we invite every single company in China that wishes the business of the world's Black people. They have suggested the city of Las Vegas as a perfect centralized location. It has been put forward that we hold this convention in the month of April of 2017, thereby affording us sufficient means to contact ALL of our colleagues through the means of Email, Twitter, Facebook and other methods that do not require any expenditures on the part of the person who is spreading the word. We will need every cosmetologist to contact their friends in this country and their relatives in other countries.
YOU WILL NOT NEED TO SPEND ANY MONEY OR WORK IN COOPERATION WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF YOUR RACE.
Mr. Jerry L. Bonds, the promoter of Mississippi International Hair and Beauty Expo has volunteered to secure the location at a major hotel in Las Vegas for the show. He is willing to share the responsibility work and the profits with any of the many promotors of the numerous shows that we have thoughout the year or with any cosmetologists that desire to work with him.
Our Chinese colleagues feel that every salon should have a pegboard or slat wall behind each reception desk that has hair on display, even if they only show ten or twelve pieces for sale. At the show you will be able to purchase hair, makeup, shoes or whatever products you desire to sell that is made in China. Investment in the show will not be limited by any means to any person or group.
Mr. Bonds and his companions are presently contacting all of the known commercial hair manufacturers that he has been able to find in China and has already received some very enthusiastic reports. Our race is on the way to a tremendous leap in prosperity.
Contact either Mr. Bonds or any of our listed affiliates if you desire to know what you can do without cost or
an excessive expenditures of time.
If each of us works for her/his own interest and personal gain, we will benefit our race as a whole

Mr. Tyrone Haymore

A
ccording to historian/curator of the infamous Robbins History Museum, Mr. Tyrone Haymore, Robbins, IL is the most historic black town in America; it is about 25 miles south of Chicago and just over the Indiana state line. The Robbins History Museum link below gives more details and has a video of some of the famous people who lived in Robbins like: basketball player Dwyane Wade, millionaire S.B. Fuller, Nichelle Nichols from the Star Track TV series, Tuskegee Airmen, Mr. T, Kiki Palmer and several others.
Mr. Haymore is most proud of the Robbins' 1931 Airport which was the first black built, owned and operated airport in the United States. It is also the true beginnings of the now famous Tuskegee Airmen.
Robbins is a small village that was originally founded for mulattos because when African Americans migrated north to Chicago from the southern states, mulattos were not accepted in a white society, nor were they always accepted in the black communities. Read about the
rich history of Robbins, IL at

Practical Resistance Opportunities
Promotes Black Empowerment
|
Princess K. Galloway and her team of developers are interested in educating the African American consumer on how to redistribute their disposable income.
"In the wake of recent tragedies and violence, Black Americans are finally being awakened to our only true power - economic power!"
Our team has developed what we call Practical Resistance Opportunities or Permanent Redistribution Opportunities (PROs). Targeting Black Americans with annual household incomes of $75k or more, we are educating people on trends
of Black consumerism and how they can immediately and permanently redistribute 20-30% of their disposable income to begin to support black businesses, community development, and other resistance movements. This is not a boycott, this is an opportunity. Also, we do not advocate violence of any kind. PRO uses data compiled by the Nielsen Company - the world's leading authority on consumer trends. We are empowered to make well-informed decisions to guide our patronage.
Please contact Ms. Galloway if you are interested in learning more about the PRO presentations.
