Washington, DC -- Physical therapist and Professional Speaker Dr. Courtland Wyatt has released his debut book, titled Prescription For An Awesome Life! How to Set Goals That Will Make You WIN Every Time. An experienced veteran in the healthcare field and business owner, Dr. Wyatt shares his expertise on how he used goal setting techniques learned from his experiences as a physical therapist to show people who do not know how to set and write out goals for their lives to the "SOAP" method system for obtaining favorable results.

S.O.A.P. stands for "Subjective, Objective, Assessment and Plan," a method used in the health field to get desired outcomes by developing and documenting treatment plans and setting goals that are realistic and measurable for patients. People often feel overwhelmed by goals that seem too big or complex to achieve.

 All they need to set and reach their goals is to use the techniques in this book, and invest less than five minutes a day in practicing them. By breaking down each task into easily digestible segments, accomplishing goals becomes virtually effortless.

GRAMMY-NOMINATED SAXOPHONIST TIA FULLER REUNITED BEYONCÉ'S ALL-GIRL BAND FOR BERKLEE CLASS
Tia Fuller
New York, NY -- Just a few short years ago, saxophonist Tia Fuller was rocking heels, skirts, and sequins as she powered through pop anthems like "Single Ladies" and "Crazy in Love" as part of BeyoncĂ©'s top-notch, all-female band, performing at major venues around the world.

In the meantime, the saxophonist has built an excellent career, recording a total of five full-length albums with her quartet, the last of which - 2018's Diamond Cut - landed on this year's Grammy Awards nomination ballot as Best Jazz Instrumental Album. She is the second woman to be nominated (as a leader) in the male-dominated jazz genre (the first woman to be nominated and win was her album's producer, drummer, and composer Teri Lyne Carrington, in 2014).

Beyond her growing accomplishments as a successful jazz artist, Fuller is laser-focused on her career in music education. With a B.A. in Music from Spelman College, and a Master's in Jazz Pedagogy and Performance from the University of Colorado at Boulder, the ace reeds player now shares her broad expertise as a full-time Professor of Music at Boston's world-renowned Berklee College of Music.

MARYLAND STATE LAWMAKER'S LATEST CASUALTY IN THE WAR ON THE N-WORD: HERE'S HOW TO UNMAKE IT!
Tolson Banner
Nationwide -- Aside from baseball, another American pastime is looking to see who uses the N-word next, especially if you're a celebrity or high-profile individual and white! But it looks like Maryland Democrat Mary Ann Lisanti was recently at bat and got some "wood" on the N-word ball. According to several news reports, Lisanti is reported to have used the N-word while having some drinks with a group of lawmakers at an Annapolis cigar bar.

After getting her "drink on" Lisanti is reported to have told a white colleague that campaigning in Prince George's County is door knocking in the "N-word district." Lisanti represents Hartford, MD. which is 85% white - she was referring to a County which is 64% Black.

And we all know, once caught under the glaring lights of the news media uttering: I-wanna-forget-the-enslavement-horror-not-gonna-pay-you-reparations-moniker: "N-word" - you're paraded thru the American consciousness with disdain. But an open and honest discussion about America's "stain" is held in abeyance so we play the "N-word" gotcha game ad infinitum.

The newest designs of the Beautiful Blessings doll collection
Philadelphia, PA -- A line of fashion dolls arrives on the scene, stunning, curvaceous, and impeccably dressed. What are they called? Beautiful Blessings. Since 2016, a growing number of girls, young women, and doll collectors are embracing these exquisite dolls with realistic proportions, designed and produced by Raveen JamesThe Beautiful Blessings Doll Company has now launched the doll's full wardrobe, a collection of couture ensembles, elegant and trendy fashions and accessories.

"I created the Beautiful Blessings Doll Collection to build self-esteem and confidence," says Raveen. "I wanted girls and women to own dolls that help them realize that they are beautiful inside and out."

Dolls allow young girls to imagine themselves and the future they envision. From early childhood up until puberty and sometimes beyond, doll lovers can own upwards of ten fashion dolls. Their form becomes ingrained in children's imaginations as the ideal body type during the early stages of development, which could easily distort their expectations when dolls have dimensions that are disproportionate and unrealistic.

MEET ONE OF THE FIRST BLACK WOMEN TO MAKE HISTORY AS AN AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER AND AUTHOR 
Priscilla Russell, the first Black woman in the history of Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) to work as a Front-Line Manager
Atlanta, GA -- Veteran Air Traffic Controller Priscilla Russell's shocking and thought-provoking story will bring a new narrative to Black women's fictional literature. Her book, In Control: On a Wing and a Prayer, is the first of a two-part series.

In the book, her character begins her journey to becoming the first African-American woman, in the history of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), to be selected as a Front-line Manager. The book is loosely based on her life story and the struggles and pains of progressing in a male dominated industry.

"I have worked radar positions at the busiest Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) in the world, Atlanta ARTCC in Hampton, Ga. I was the first African-American woman in the history of Atlanta ARTCC to be selected as a Front-Line Manager in 1994. It's hard to believe there are still 'first' happenings for Black women in America as I write this in 2018," says Russell.

Inspirational Story of One HBCU's Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity

THE STORY OF THE BETA OMICRON CHAPTER OF THE ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY
Phil W. Petrie and his bookcover
Nationwide -- In an era when hazing has shamed Greek-Letter fraternities and sororities into embarrassment, and the president of the United States, with no shame, admonishes Black audiences that their plight is already in such despair they have nothing to lose. Fortunately, the publication of Beta Omicron's 84-year old history belies the foolishness of misguided contemporary hazing, and the unfortunate words of the president.

Two Gates For Transformation: The Story of Beta Omicron by Phil W. Petrie, is neither a how-to manual informing readers what steps to take, or not take, when joining a fraternity; nor is it an exposure of Alpha Phi Alpha's rites and rituals. It is the story of Black youths who first changed themselves and then the world in which they lived. This has been happening at Tennessee State University [Beta Omicron's collegiate home], since 1930, and at other HBCUs since 1907.

Two Gates was written so that all HBCU graduates, whether they were in a sorority, fraternity, or an independent, can appreciate this publication.

BALTIMORE AUTHOR RECEIVES NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR MEMOIR ABOUT HER UPBRINGING AND COLORISM

"...a graciously and generously-provided tool for would-be allies who seek to eliminate, in themselves and their communities, the personal and institutional racism that causes and perpetuates colorism."

Nationwide -- Baltimore-based writer Petula Caesar's first book, a memoir entitled She's Such A Bright Girl: An American Story has been recognized nationally.

THIS BLACK-OWNED CHEMICAL FREE HAIR COLOR PRODUCT IS TAKING THE INDUSTRY BY STORM!
 Link To Mysteek Naturals

Nationwide -- Electra S. Davis, founder of Mysteek Naturals, is believed to be one of the first women to have created a chemical free hair color product - having started developing the product in 2016. The company is a Black woman, veteran-owned small business. She's a 35-year old divorcee who let that fire push her further to the top, and mother of two beautiful children, and Bachelor's in business administration with a concentration of accounting.

Getting started
Electra started her company because, like so many other women, she was looking for an alternative to the rinses that weren't giving her the vibrant popping color that she so badly wanted yet with the harmful chemicals and process of using a developer to bleach her hair to get that vibrant color she so badly desired.

She began using the color on herself and other people began to ask her how she was changing her hair weekly and sometime daily without damaging it. Once she told them, they requested she start making them some as well and this is how the company was birthed.

She started her toothpaste line after learning the color code on the commercial toothpaste she used at the time were chemical indicators and poisonous to her and her children's health. Also, she began to research and realized that fluoride was a poison and no longer wanted to use the toothpaste. She loves to live and use naturals products as humanly possible. So, she officially launched the Mysteek Naturals, LLC business in May 2017.
