From Royle King, Jr.:
Those that know me know I keep to myself and serve. I try to avoid the lights but they always seem to find this social introvert. Over the weekend one of the biggest achievements happened, I was selected as the Florida Statewide Organization - Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Father Of The Year. As a Community Dad for over 14 years and a first time Father for three months it meant the 🌍 to Me because having a son has been my life’s greatest joy (Disregard the name spelling 🙈)
Royle is a graduate of Dallas' Lincoln Humanities and Communications Magnet and Florida A&M University, where he was initiated into the Upsilon Psi Chapter. CONGRATS!!!

How to spot H. pylori – an infection that can cause gastritis and ulcers |
Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, are common bacteria that infect billions of people worldwide. They are the leading cause of ulcers and gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining). But approximately 80% of infected people worldwide will never develop symptoms – a phenomenon that researchers are still learning about.

Trauma Informed Care For The Formerly Incarcerated – Issue #45
Issue #45
On Wednesday, September 21, about 6 local organizations (one attended virtually) met at the Creative Suitland Arts Center in Suitland, Maryland to receive training on trauma-informed care. Tonier Cain, an international trauma-informed trainer, led a two-and-a-half-hour training session. Her job is to help carceral institutions, and other organizations, identify and change rules that further harm those who have had traumatic experiences. Changing those harmful institutional practices, she strongly suggested, promotes an environment where people can heal.

BUY BLACK! When Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, of Friendship-West Baptist Church, announced 100 Days of Buying Black in acknowledging the 100th Commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre, a year ago, we joined the movement. December 31, 2021 marked 100 days of featuring Black Businesses, and we decided that the struggle continues and we must also. So enjoy reading about more Black-owned businesses and please support. We're still going strong today and we also received recognition from the National Newspaper Publishers Association for our efforts!

OUR VOICES
Moving Toward November 8th in Crisis
|
By Dr. John E. Warren
While America is caught in the crises of the pandemic, fires, floods, heat and drought, much of this is just an add-on for so many of us who were already suffering from the efforts of surviving homelessness, new homelessness, rent, food, lack of healthcare and too little income for the daily struggle. This is a time to remember that each of us represents a link to survival from the beginning of time, even though we might not know where we came from.

The Monkeypox Relief Assistance Fund, launched by Dallas health nonprofit Abounding Prosperity Inc., will combat the economic implications of the monkeypox virus.

Biden Slowly Winning LBJ- and FDR-Like Praise as Legislative Victories Mount

By Stacy M. Brown
As Donald Trump told New York prosecutors that he’d invoke his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, President Joe Biden sat behind a desk at the White House, where he signed into law the PACT Act, legislation that expands health care benefits for veterans who developed illnesses because of exposure to toxic substances at U.S. military bases.

The Path
As we walk through life's journey, we leave footprints. Some just show where we are going. Others redirect us when we get lost. Still others remain to guide those we leave behind. I see your footprints.
Will you/they see mine?
