Thanks for asking.
Growing up as a child in Brooklyn, New York, my parents who worked very hard always emphasized education and becoming “somebody” or just get in the healthcare field and you'll be financially secure as a brown girl in America. I did exactly as I was told and became a doctor of pharmacy, but then, Something was still missing because I was one curious little girl who wanted to know everything and God had another calling for me. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: large; white-space-collapse: preserve;">
</span><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Moving to Manhattan NY with my family at the age of 20, even got my curiosity deeper because I saw the finer things and luxury travels in magazines and all around me but those seemed far beyond my reach. After I graduated from Pharmacy School with my doctorate, I worked very hard to try and climb the corporate ladder but there was no time freedom. It was very demanding and wasn't a time rich life. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">That's when IN-STYLE Travel was born. As we ( my husband Glenn and I and our beautiful daughters Brooklyn and Lexington) traveled the world, we saw less and less Black and Brown families around the world traveling with their kids.

We knew immediately that this was a problem.
More so, Why were we the only black and brown Family when we traveled to most places? Either on the plane or the destination. We knew how our kids enjoyed traveling so other kids would too.

Darche, </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">Deputy Superintendent, Consumer Examination Unit, Consumer Protection and Financial Enforcement Division, New York State Department of Financial Services, was the first witness called to testify. She expressed gratitude to Senator Sanders, Ranking member Borrillo and other distinguished members of the Senate Banking Committee. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">The DFS provides an average of nearly $1 billion to New Yorkers every year, through restitution to consumers and health providers, penalties paid to the state general fund and DFS assessment revenue reappropriated to other state entities. The department's operating expenses are assessed upon regulated entities under section 206 of the financial services law and do not cost New York taxpayers, said </span>Samantha R. Darche.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"> </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">She continued in her testimony by sharing the proactive steps the department is taking to create more equitable financial systems for all New Yorkers. The DFS, under the leadership of Superintendent Harris, has facilitated consumer access to financial services and products, including through the Banking Development District Program. To date, The New York State Department of Financial Services, (DFS) has approved 55 BDDs across the state and 4 banking development branches 2 in Bronx, 1 in Poughkeepsie and 1 in Brooklyn.</span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Sen George M.

He noted that unemployment has been at historically low rate for Black Americans. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">“All New Yorkers should have access to safe and affordable banking services, no matter where they live or their income level. It’s a resource that can further financial stability, provide the credit needed to start or run a business, and participate more fully in society,” </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">said Senator George Borrello, Ranking Member of the Banks Committee</span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">. “Today’s hearing underscored the fact that we still have much work to do to ensure underserved communities have the access they need.

Banks and other financial institutions have a long and sordid history of discriminating against Black People in housing, financial and other matters. We have many miles to go before the harm is corrected and I hope today's hearing will give us insight and an actionable plan to forever correct and eradicate banking disparities. </span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">“New York State ranks 46</span>th<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"> out of 50 states for disparities in banking access for consumers and small businesses. Our state must do better in terms of taking a holistic approach to increasing access to safe and affordable banking services for New Yorkers. I appreciate Chairman Sanders holding this hearing to shine a spotlight on this important financial issue that impacts millions of New Yorkers,” <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">said Senator Jim Tedisco (R,C-Ballston Lake). </span></span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Senator Jabari Brisport said: </span><span style="box-sizing: inherit;">"It’s clear that long after formal red-lining, the private banking sector continues to harm BIPOC New Yorkers.

Parker said: </span> “Thank you, Senator Sanders, for your leadership on addressing the disparities in NYS’ banking services. We must confront the existence of banking deserts in our communities. They leave people wandering without hope or opportunity. Instead we must plant the seeds of financial inclusion for consumers and small businesses."</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Assembly Member Khaleel M. Anderson said </span> "As the legislature continues to look at solutions to serve the under-banked and under-served of New York State, it is clear that a critical piece of this solvency is Public Banks. Based on panelists' testimonies during the Senate hearing, institutions view public banking as a path forward to ensure all New Yorkers are adequately served and given equitable financial services. As the Chair of the Subcommittee on Banking in Under-served Communities, I will continue to fight for banking equity through legislation and advocacy. </span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Witnesses who testified at the hearing included: </span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 40px 0px 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Samantha R.

Francois' Answer:</span></span></b><span style="font-size: medium;"> I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. In a single parent family household with my dad, lil sister and 2 brothers little brothers (which were twins).<br /><br />Earlier in life I experienced modest island living. It consisted of school and church - and also helping to raise my siblings. I was very shy so I didn't talk much and then I migrated to the United States, in my late teens, which was very traumatic for me.<br /><br />Coming from a very sheltered upbringing the United States, was a scary place; everything was bigger, louder and faster. I had the mindset of a 10-year old and was easily manipulated.<br /><br />I was not accustomed to thinking for myself. I always relied on the advice of adults with the assumption that they would always want the best for you, like in the islands, where everyone is like an aunty and uncle. That was my experience.<br /><br />That's not the case in the USA. But after having my personal items placed outside in a black garbage bag, with nowhere to go, you find inner strength to persevere.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I have managed to turn any trial into success by learning to laugh at myself and situations.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Kamau's Question:</b> Who or what inspired you to take the leap of faith and go into your comedy inner-tainment business?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mss. Francois' Answer:</span></b> Let's say everyone, there are people that cross your path in life that pour into you - and they don't even know it. Personally, I had no interest in doing anything comedic - whatsoever! But God has his way of leading to things you may not see for yourself.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Throughout my journey I have heard that I'm funny, which I never paid attention to because - <b>I never thought I was funny</b>. I just thought I was being me and sharing my thoughts.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But as I traveled down the road of personal development I found my gift. As it was described to me: <b>your gift is something you are naturally good at without having to think about it</b>. One of my gifts was making people laugh.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Thankfully, one of those paths led me to join Toastmasters in 2014. It is an organization that builds confidence and teaches public speaking.<br /><br />From there I started making speeches that were always on the humorous side, and with <b>winning District 46 Toastmasters Humorous Competition for New York</b>, the opportunities became endless.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjexruvSW5-Nfyx7myfQIMSn2-g-e-AFVMwf6yP_g5O2Eh7vOOPxzD3D29VtADWIwKsTmWthgr4KMmyxlKBWIxmPKnwAAnMor5yhgM49EgN9QwvAmDDYoxIsV8QNHXR0UfoFpEfUGhcYIpvjc4TmptcdZovvghzrUUvN-ExP5ZwPDW1igqjV4T4hlCfwA/s811/3a-Black-N-White.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="811" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjexruvSW5-Nfyx7myfQIMSn2-g-e-AFVMwf6yP_g5O2Eh7vOOPxzD3D29VtADWIwKsTmWthgr4KMmyxlKBWIxmPKnwAAnMor5yhgM49EgN9QwvAmDDYoxIsV8QNHXR0UfoFpEfUGhcYIpvjc4TmptcdZovvghzrUUvN-ExP5ZwPDW1igqjV4T4hlCfwA/s16000/3a-Black-N-White.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Kamau's Question: </b> Mss. Francois, what exactly is your gig? I mean you sorta defy categorization. You share serious insights on relationships but in a jovial way. What UP wit You?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mss. Francois' Answer: </span></b>To define what it is I do is as follows. I am a humorous keynote speaker, that supports single women who are exploring romantic relationships. And also I help women who are healing from a romantic relationship to rediscover their self identity and confidently transition into the next chapter of their lives.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Yes you should mic drop :)</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But since <b>the Mss in Mss Francois Means Multi-Talented and Super Sexy,</b> I have been able to incorporate my skills in different arenas. In the entertainment world I perform what I call to be Comedic Monologues.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Which came about because I took my Toastmasters speeches and made them more animated and interactive and performed them on stages at events. These monologues are typically about 7 to 10 mins long, and they leave you with laughter and lessons.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Most of my comedic monologues are about women and relationships and the frustration that comes with finding your partner. I found it to be very healing to laugh as I reflected on my own past relationships - and my healing process.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you look up laughing it has so many benefits, your brain releases endorphins which are feel good chemicals which in turn reduces stress. Laughter also creates social connection and promotes resilience and the ability to bounce back.<br /><br />So I thought - why not share my gift with the world and bring laughter and healing.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Kamau's Question:</b> Who are some of your favorite comedians of all time?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mss. Francois' Answer:</span></b> People ask me this question a lot, and since I never categorized myself as a comedian: I never truly give it thought. But since you asked I was forced to really think of who I admire in this genre.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Here it goes. <b>Mr Dave Chapelle</b>, since the days of "Blue Streak," the movie where he played a thief alongside Martin Lawrence.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But what I love about Dave, is the fact that you have to use the frontal lobe of your brain when you listen to his comedy. He brings comedy, knowledge and makes you go hummm.<br /><br />His topics are thought provoking as well as funny - not a lot of people are able to do that.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Dr. Bill Cosby,</b> I love his storytelling abilities, I have seen him perform twice in person. He has you from the beginning to the end. He takes something so trivial and is able to build on it. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Build it into an entire show. <b>Lisa Lampanelli,</b> is retired but I used to love her comedy for the shock value.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You were not sure if you should laugh. And then you are looking around at everyone else deciding if this makes you a good or bad person if you laugh, and then you say - hell with it! This is hilarious. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So maybe I combined all three of these techniques when I'm performing: the story telling, shock value; and forcing the audience to use their frontal lobes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Kamau's Question:</b> Hhhhhhm... Lawd have mercy sis what do you look for when choosing material to crack jokes on?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mss. Francois' Answer:</span></b> Oh so you think I crack jokes? LOL!!! <b>Well I won't say I crack jokes.</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I have a lot of respect for comedians that come out every night with material to make people laugh (knowing the immense stress they are under) if they don't make people laugh in under 3 seconds. But with my Comedic Monologues, it gives me at least 30 seconds, <b>because monologue requires someone's full attention and - I have time to pull them into my story</b>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">With that said it's mostly from life experience, and friends experiences. But in addition, I have a TV show called The Mss Francois Show.<br /><br />The tagline is "<b>We have candid conversations, a variety of entertainment, and I use laughter to help you with your dysfunctional relationships.</b>" Since the show just celebrated five years, I have done over 75 plus episodes.<br /><br />I have had guests that spoke about relationships and experts who were coaches, therapists, and psychologists that have provided much insightful material along the way.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Relationships have a lot of bends and curves, and sometimes when women get together and share stories it's - sad and hilarious at the same time! So ladies if you are having conversations with me there is a good chance that it will end up in one of my monologues.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Kamau's Question:</b> Can you tell us about some of your future comedy events you have planned?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mss.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Senator Sanders has dedicated the past 30 years to the fight for reparations, driven by his own family's history as descendants of American slaves and his personal passion for justice. He emphasizes that reparations aren't just a theoretical concept, but a necessary step to address the legacy of systemic racism and achieve true justice for communities affected.<br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">As the sponsor of New York's reparations commission bill, Senator Sanders is actively working to establish a commission that will tailor its recommendations to the specific needs of the state's communities. This "New York model" will draw on lessons learned elsewhere, but ultimately aim for a unique solution that addresses the historical and ongoing injustices faced by New Yorkers.</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 32px; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mJypDziWwug?si=ozYk0U_zS5Xa5C7B" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></span></p></div>

As a result of these opportunities not being widely accessible, the wealth gap widens.<br /><br />Unless you are connected to the circle of high-net-worth angel investors or venture capital firms, you are outside this particular “wealth creation” ecosystem. Those on the outside are oblivious to the next unicorn startup company, until it is already public, and worth billions of dollars. These early-stage growth opportunities have, for the past 30 years, been where the majority of wealth gets harvested in public offerings.</span></div></div></div></div></span></span></div></div></div></div></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>In January, the Chicago culinary scene shines a spotlight on its diverse vegan options</b>, focusing on Native Foods in the South Loop (218 S. Clark). The beloved vegan eatery now heralds a new chapter as it becomes Black and employee-owned, thanks to local entrepreneur Dame Dia.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In September 2023, a significant milestone occurred for Native Foods. Dame Dia, the former Chicago District Manager for the brand, was presented with an extraordinary birthday present: the chance to become the owner of Chicago's last standing Native Foods location. This news was enthusiastically welcomed by the community, particularly by those who were concerned about the potential closure of the Chicago Loop location following the earlier shutdowns of the Wicker Park and Lakeview branches. Dame officially assumed ownership of the restaurant in late November 2023.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmzzZBrXtYV0nJDVkpJ5slx0QyJOoOpn6y2yGIaIEb6GoFQuLo6w8aN0uXYmXsNe7ja9r9lxBGAXLtmwv2vXyp0fkALsJWBRShTYzr0cqE1I7C4hummAYySNvXE_dOC_OhG1WacpuP5r5F-gshPWRedmFyr7NW_lVIvxqaHJEn0h9c1Lsrcrn77XWyKXk/s600/Sandwich-Native-Foods.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="342" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmzzZBrXtYV0nJDVkpJ5slx0QyJOoOpn6y2yGIaIEb6GoFQuLo6w8aN0uXYmXsNe7ja9r9lxBGAXLtmwv2vXyp0fkALsJWBRShTYzr0cqE1I7C4hummAYySNvXE_dOC_OhG1WacpuP5r5F-gshPWRedmFyr7NW_lVIvxqaHJEn0h9c1Lsrcrn77XWyKXk/s16000/Sandwich-Native-Foods.png" /></a></div></div></div>

After relocating to Chicago over five years ago to be with his now-wife OnJaLee LaShay, he brought a rich 15-year experience in the restaurant industry. His career journey, beginning in Queens, NY, is a story of remarkable growth, starting as a dishwasher at Red Lobster and escalating to the General Manager of the same restaurant. Before leaving New York, his career had progressed to managing multiple eateries at JFK Airport’s Terminal 5, where he also met OnJaLee.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>OnJaLee, who is known in Chicago as "The Connector</b>" for her vast marketing and networking skills has been instrumental in this endeavor. The pair, having met at JFK Airport, decided to unite their skills and passion to embark on this business adventure together.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The rejuvenated Native Foods is poised to introduce a captivating mix of traditional vegan recipes and, in the near future, West African cuisine, showcasing Dame’s Senegalese heritage and culinary prowess.

But I was also raised by a Puerto Rican father and a mother who is black, white, and Native American. And I’m a descendant of Morton Deane, who was born into slavery and later served as one of the first out of five black nationally elected city councilmen, during the reconstruction era in Richmond, Virginia, and Edward Maria Wingfield, the first elected president of the Council of Virginia - Jamestown, on April 25th, 1607. This multicultural heritage helps me look at people with clear eyes and see the love in everyone.”</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In homage to her family ’s tradition of military service, Venita joined the US Army in 1981. “I was r a i s e d to understand the importance of liberty and duty,” she said. Although she describes basic training as grueling, she learned a lot from serving in one of the first-ever co-ed battalions, Bravo 1-3, marching side-by-side with men. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">“We were labeled ‘guinea pigs’ according to official congressional documents.

But she also worked to draw attention to National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month each January—proclamations she feels are issued by each succeeding United States presidents and then pretty much forgotten — and refocusing the nation’s attention on the very real problem of modern-day slavery/human trafficking through her website <a href="https://nationalfreedomday.com/">NationalFreedomDay.com</a>.<br /><br />She was even mentored weekly by Dr. Reverend Ronald Myers, the founder of the National Juneteenth movement, long before his passing. The desk in her home office is piled high with resolutions and proclamations she has affected and with correspondence from some of the most powerful men and women in Texas, the country, and the world. These documents <b>acknowledge Venita’s unrelenting pursuit not only for recognition of those who suffered in the past but those who still suffer today.</b></span></div></div></div>

And they won!<br /><br />A year later, Venita and Calvin were present to lead a ceremony in Hampton to pay homage to the millions who were lost in the transatlantic voyages. As she investigated and researched further—establishing the Global Slavery Remembrance Committee and serves on </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">the National Advisory Board for Project 1619— <b>she discovered the abomination of slavery is not only a thing of the past</b>. It still exists today with well over 50 million people enslaved worldwide, something Venita discovered as a result of a letter she wrote to the United Nations.<br /><br />“I thought, ‘How can that be? Who’s the buyers and sellers?” Venita said. “This February 1 is the 75th anniversary of President Harry Truman first establishing <a href="https://nationalfreedomday.com/" target="_blank">National Freedom Day</a> to recognize this stain on our national history.

If she, as just one person, can draw attention to the problem of human trafficking and affect change, what could an entire city, state, or country do? “<b>When President Obama first established January as National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month in 2010, human trafficking was a $32 billion industry.</b></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">Today, that number has more than tripled. “I’m looking to join </span></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">likeminded others in renewing the hope of freedom — for everyone.” The State of Texas has committed by signing the 2024 National Freedom Day resolution.<br /><br />You can start by attending a Frisco Chamber of Commerce Thursday network meeting scheduled for February 1 at 7:30 AM at Strikz Entertainment (Preston) to help kick off Black History Month acknowledging Major Richard Wright and ring the bell for freedom.
