Ode to the Community Consumer

local 2974159 1280The blog post this week is directed toward the consumers,  yes, the customers. We have a tendency to be very hard on the merchants in our community. We place more stringent rules and guidelines for patronage on our local merchants than on the larger stores and mall merchants we often frequent.

editor's corner: the village

deneen jacoWe've all heard the phrase, "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child!" Who is the village? The village is me, the village is you, each of us as integral pieces that make up the whole, regardless, of race, personal accomplishments or socio-economic status.

"Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he shall not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 22:6

The Village Spotlight

While we often hear of late breaking stories on the local news and media channels, we want to post late breaking news and accomplishments of the people who make up the communities (our villages) who are not always afforded the opportunity to be recognized.

On August 15 we will launch the new forum hosted by Jacob's Rite of Passage entitled, "The Village Spotlight." In keeping with the theme of "It STILL takes a village to raise a child. It's time to reclaim the village," we have decided to spotlight some of the people in our community, with a focus on our young people.

If you want to recommend a Village Spotlight, please go to our submissions page and submit your story. After editorial review we will contact you with the date it will be published to our blog.

Instructions. Please submit the following:

      • A written piece, 500 words or less, to include
        • the name, age and relevant information about the nominee
        • why you are nominating them as the village spotlight.
      • A photo.

The distribution of your written piece, if approved, will be included on the website, in our monthly newsletter, and on our facebook page. Your email address is required so we can notify you.

Let's make a difference! Be a part of reclaiming our village. Nominate a village spotlight! 

hope hollinsworth240

In keeping with our theme of the village, it is my pleasure and unique honor to spotlight this amazing visionary, Hope Hollinsworth Coaxum. We met intially when she inquired about some of our design services for her second novel and have been sister-friends and business associates ever since.  I am so blessed by her testimonies of overcoming and willingness to reach out and reach back and help others overcome.

Hope is really a remarkable young woman who hosts a broad range of talents and interests. She wears all of her multiple hats quite well, woman, wife, mother, activist, author, playwright, director, employer, publisher, just to name a few. She is also active in her local church and community, and spearheads many outreach initiatives in the Yonkers area. 

We want to thank her for allowing us to spotlight her. I pray that her sharing will spill over into the lives of others, that they too may be inspired.

"Where there's a need for hope, is where you'll find Hope."

  • The Business of Creating Jobs

    pexels photo 345135Though many have learned that business is a degree obtained in an institution, and being in business is seeking after positions and success attributed to the established system, I now challenge us to color outside the lines and think beyond what has been traditionally taught.

  • Foundational Fundamentals

    pexels photo 762679The Foundational Fundamentals that undergird all of these efforts are God, family and community. We realized that we attempted to provide information to build up a community, but without the fundamentals, maybe we pulled the cart before the horse, so to speak.

  • Each One Teach One

    man writes on whiteboard 925xWe have all heard the catch phrase, "Each One Teach One."

    This phrase originated in the United States during slavery, when Africans were denied education, including learning to read. Many, if not most slaves were kept in a state of ignorance about anything beyond their immediate circumstances which were under control of owners, the law makers and the authorities. When a slave learned or was taught to read, it became his duty to teach someone else, spawning the phrase "Each one teach one."

  • IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF? Survival of the Fittest — A Family Affair

    1 dSu27Tw7p6q8FyS6Ve1OAQ2x

    By definition, survival is the state or fact of continuing to live or exist, typically in spite of an accident, ordeal, or difficult circumstances. The ways and means by which we live are relevant to every member of our society, community, or family to include adults and children alike.

    I was born in the midst of the Great Depression of the 1930s and raised by God-fearing parents who upheld a standard of morality and passed down a good work ethic. During those years, times were very tough; and families came together in order to respond to the challenges of that era...

  • Community Economics

    dollar 1362244 1280In this and future blog posts, we will tackle and discuss the issue of economics and its impact  in our community. 

    As best we can, we need to make a concerted effort to commit to making our hard-earned dollars work for us. As the largest consumers, if all we earn is spent outside of the community, how can we sustain? Even if you have left the community, or moved outside of the immediate area, visit and seize opportunities to give back. Be intentional.
