100 Black Men of America

100 Black Men Of America is a men's civic organization and serviceclub whose stated goal is to educate and empower African-Americanchildren and teens. The organization's mission statement is "to improvethe quality of life within our communities and enhance educational andeconomic opportunities for all African-Americans." The organizationsmottos real men giving real time and what they see is what theyllbe describes the organization's goals of providing positive role mod-els and leaders to guide the next generation of African-Americans andother youth. The membership is predominantly African Americanprofessionals, businessmen, civic leaders and administrators, educa-tors, as well as people from other walks of life.

HistoryThe overall concept of the 100 began in New York in 1963when a group of concerned African-American men began to meet toexplore ways of improving conditions in their community. The groupeventually adopted the name, "100 Black Men, Inc." as a sign of soli-darity. These men envisioned an organization that would implementprograms designed to improve the quality of life for African Ameri-cans and other minorities. They also wished to ensure the future of

their communities by aiming an intense number of resources towardyouth development. These members were successful black men fromvarious walks of life. These visionaries were business and industryleaders such as David Dinkins, Robert Mangum, Dr. William Hayling,Nathaniel Goldston III, Livingston Wingate, Andrew Hatcher, andJackie Robinson.

Taking shape around the countryDr. William Hayling, a member ofthe NY organization, had relocated to Newark, NJ and sought to repli-cate the 100's impact in that area. In 1976 Dr. Hayling formed the 100Black Men of New Jersey. A movement had been born. Men acrossthe country began to form 100 Black Men organizations to leveragetheir collective talents and resources. Chapters were formed in LosAngeles, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area, Nassau/Suffolk, Alton, and Sacramento.

On September 21, 1983, a three-hour meeting was held in Washington,D.C., among representatives from the Los Angeles, New York, NewJersey, and St. Louis chapters. This meeting was to evaluate the feasi-

bility of establishing a National Organization for 100 Black Men. Thismeeting was held during the annual weekend meeting of the Congres-sional Black Caucus. Representative of St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Atlanta,the San Francisco/Oakland Bay Area, Nassau/Suffolk and Sacramentomet for a second time in Las Vegas, May 1113, 1984, in Las Vegas.The men engaged in extensive discussions about the most effectivestructure to support the growth and governance of 100 Black Menchapters.

The third meeting was held May 1618, 1986 in Las Vegas. At thismeeting it was agreed that the best model for a newly-formed nationalorganization was a federation governance model. This model lever-aged human and financial resources, and supported chapter growthwhile preserving chapter autonomy. It was also voted that a NationalSteering Committee would include the Presidents of each chapter,along with two members from each chapter.

A final meeting was held on October 2, 1986 at the L'Enfant PlazaHotel in Washington. Chapters represented were: Los Angeles, St.

Louis, Indianapolis, Atlanta and New Jersey. The chapters decided thatthe name of the organization would be: "100 Black Men of America,Inc."

The following individuals were elected as officers: Dr. William Hay-ling (Los Angeles) - President Oliver Lofton, Esq. (New Jersey) - Vice-President Moses Gray (Indianapolis) - Secretary Jesse C. Swanigan(St. Louis) - Treasurer

On May 27, 1987, in Atlanta, Georgia, this newly formed organizationintroduced itself to the nation during its first national conference.Noted speakers included the late Alex P. Haley and the late HonorableMaynard H. Jackson.

In 1989, Nathaniel R. Goldston III became the organization's secondNational President and grew the organization to 43 chapters. Mr. Gold-ston used his business acumen and resources to expand the number ofchapters and enhancing the organization's infrastructure. Under Mr.Goldston, the organization acquired its first national office and its first

Executive Director. Along with Mr. Goldston, Warren Valdrey (VicePresident), T.B. Boyd III (Treasurer) and Moses Gray (Secretary)served as elected officers.

In 1994, Thomas W. Dortch Jr. was elected the third National Presi-dent. That year, he spearheaded an aggressive plan entitled Four ForThe Future. Since that time, the organization has strategically chan-neled its resources toward programs that support these important areas:Mentoring, Education, Health & Wellness, and Economic Develop-ment. The 100 has identified these areas as being critical to the futureof African Americans.

Along with Mr. Dortch, LeRoy G. Walker, Jr. (Vice President), Wil-liam L. Wimberly (Vice President), Hon. Roosevelt F. Dorn (Vice

President), Lonnie J. Carr (Treasurer), and Albert E. Dotson, Jr.(Secretary). In 1997, under Mr. Dortch's leadership the organizationexpanded internationally with the chartering of the Birmingham, Eng-land chapter. Additional international chapters and interest groupsfollowed including: Nassau Bahamas, Goree Island, Senegal, King-ston, Jamaica, U.S. Virgin Islands, and London, England. It was alsoin 1997 that the organization purchased its World Headquarters build-ing on historic Auburn Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia. Also, during Mr.Dortch's tenure, the Collegiate 100 was formed to focus the next gen-eration on mentoring.

In 2004, Albert E. Dotson, Jr., Esq. was elected the fourth President/Chairman of the Board and during his inaugural address he recognizedthe contributions of his predecessors. Dr. Hayling was acknowledgedfor bringing the various 100 Black Men organizations under the singlebanner of 100 Black Men of America. Mr. Goldston was recognizedfor his personal investment of talent and resources that grew the num-ber of chapters focused on the 100s mission. Mr. Dortch was ac-knowledged for expanding the organization's resources and building

capacity for the 100 to carry out its mission. Chairman Dotson referredto their contributions as the Hayling Harvest, the Goldston Gain andthe Dortch Dividend.

The other newly elected officers in 2004 were Curley M. Dossman, Jr.(Vice Chair Operations), Frank Hayes (Vice Chair Finance), Dr.Joshua W. Murfree, Jr. (Vice Chair Programs), John S. Kendall (ViceChair of Operations) and Anthony B. O'Neill (Secretary). Since 2004,Chairman Dotson has focused the organization on leadership and de-livering impactful and innovative programs in each of the Four For

The Future areasDuring Dotsons tenure the 100 launched the Lead-ership Development Institute (LDI) to provide a vehicle through whichmembers of the 100 could fine tune and enhance their leadership skills.The 100 also created their Community Empowerment Project (CEP)which ensures that the city where the 100 convenes its Annual confer-ence receives a social and societal impact that is sustainable by thecommunity.

From 2006 to 2009, the 100 helped launch the National Cares Mentor-ing Movement (formerly Essence Cares) to mobilize millions of ableAfrican Americans to take the lead in fulfilling our society's spiritualand social responsibility to our children. The 100 expanded its focuson advocacy for responsible public policy, including sponsoring theInternationally broadcast debate on urban issues among Presidentialcandidates Senator Barack H. Obama, Senator Hillary R. Clinton andSenator John Edwards. The 100 has consistently increased its re-sources to deliver relevant new programs and enhance signature pro-grams. The organization is moving their mission and strategic direc-tion forward as it implements Mentoring the 100 Way Across a Life-time

SBA ENCOURAGES HURRICANE SANDY SURVIVORS IN NEW YORK TOAPPLY FOR ASSISTANCE BEFORE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT

On behalf of the Obama family Michelle, Malia, Sasha and Bo I want to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving.

For us, like so many of you, this is a day full of family and friends; food and football. Its a day to fight the overwhelming urge to take a nap at least until after dinner. But most of all, its a time to give thanks for each other, and for the incredible bounty we enjoy.

Thats especially important this year. As a nation, weve just emerged from a campaign season that was passionate, noisy, and vital to our de-mocracy. But it also required us to make choices and sometimes those choices led us to focus on what sets us apart instead of what ties ustogether; on what candidate we support instead of what country we belong to.

Thanksgiving is a chance to put it all in perspective to remember that, despite our differences, we are, and always will be, Americans first andforemost.

Today we give thanks for blessings that are all too rare in this world. The ability to spend time with the ones we love; to say what we want; toworship as we please; to know that there are brave men and women defending our freedom around the globe; and to look our children in the eyeand tell them that, here in America, no dream is too big if theyre willing to work for it.

Were also grateful that this country has always been home to Americans who see these blessings not simply as gifts to enjoy, but as opportuni-ties to give back. Americans who believe we have a responsibility to look out for those less fortunate to pull each other up and move forwardtogether.

Right now, as we prepare to gather around our dinner tables, there are families in the northeast who dont have that luxury. Many of them havelost everything to Hurricane Sandy homes, possessions, even loved ones. And it will be a long time before life goes back to normal.

But in the midst of so much tragedy, there are also glimmers of hope. Over the last few weeks, weve seen FEMA personnel, National Guardand first responders working around the clock in hard-hit communities. Weve seen hospital workers using their lunch breaks to distribute sup-plies. Families offering up extra bedrooms. The fire department advertising free hot showers. Buses full of volunteers coming from hundredsof miles away. Neighbors sharing whatever they have food, water, electricity and saying again and again how lucky they are to have a roofover their heads.

It would have been easy for these folks to do nothing to worry about themselves and leave the rest to someone else. But thats not who we are.Thats not what we do.

As Americans, we are a bold, generous, big-hearted people. When our brothers and sisters are in need, we roll up our sleeves and get to work not for the recognition or the reward, but because its the right thing to do. Because there but for the grace of God go I. And because here inAmerica, we rise or fall together, as one nation and one people.

Thats something to be grateful for today and every day.

So to all the Americans doing your part to make our world a better place it is my privilege to serve as your President. To all our service mem-bers it is my honor to be your Commander in Chief. And from our family to yours, happy Thanksgiving.

Manganos ThirdConsecutive No-PropertyTax Hike BudgetApproved By Legislature

Restricts Spending While Delivering Essen-tial Services

For the third year in a row, Nassau CountyExecutive Edward P. Manganos No-Property Tax Increase Budget was passed bythe County Legislature. The budget restrictsspending for a second consecutive year while

continuing to deliver essential services forresidents. Aggressive fiscal management anda continued commitment to spending cuts isevident as County Executive Mangano andthe Republican Legislative Caucus have cut

over $290 million in spending from Nassausbudget since 2009.

This budget paves the way for economicgrowth while protecting families and seniorsby holding the line on property taxes andrestricting spending, said County ExecutiveMangano. After two hard years of sharedsacrifice, Nassau County is on a firm, stablepath as we fostered a government of lessspending, fewer employees and fewer ap-pointees. The progress we have made overthe past two years corrects our Countys past

when Nassau taxed too high, spent too muchand reformed too little.

The fiscal discipline and responsible budget-ing choices made by County Executive Man-gano and the Republican Legislative Caucusover the last two years addresses the fiscallychallenging times in which we live and cor-rects wasteful past practices. Without raisingproperty taxes, County Executive Manganoaddresses a nearly $400 million deficit inher-ited from the prior administration and keptpace with double-digit increases in pensionand health care costs, unfunded mandates, astagnant economy and poor municipal prac-tices. The administration has truly addressedfiscal challenges of historic proportions andhas moved forward by implementing signifi-cant spending reductions and landmark re-

forms that together have laid the groundworkfor recurring savings. Nassaus fiscal prob-lems evolved over a decade and are beingstructurally corrected in responsible andtransparent budget plans advanced by the

administration. While there is more work tobe done, the County is clearly on a moreefficient path to a brighter future.

Barclays Center Team to Study the

growth and revenue to help hold the line onproperty taxes, NASSAU County ExecutiveMangano, along with Bruce Ratner, Chair-man and CEO of Forest City Ratner Compa-nies (FCRC), and NY Islanders owner

County Executive Mangano stated, Todaywill bring Nassau one step closer to ensuringthat the Coliseum becomes an attractive des-tination for Long Island, and an economicgenerator that creates and retains new jobsand opportunities throughout the Hub. Todaywe take a step forward toward transformingthe Coliseum so that it is positioned to com-pete for concerts, family shows and exposi-tions as well as professional and collegiatesports, pre-season games and similar pro-grams that generate the type of economic

activity to protect our quality of life whilecreating a destination for job creation andeconomic activity.

The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseumhas served generations of Long Islanders as a

family friendly environment for sports andentertainment, we are very pleased to have anopportunity to evaluate what is needed tohelp restore and refresh the Coliseum, saidBruce Ratner.

Wang stated, We need to get somethingdone with the Coliseum and there is no betterperson than Bruce to entrust for this project.

We have been asked to cre-ate the foundation for innovation, job growth,investment confidence and economic oppor-tunities. We will not achieve these objectiveson our own. We will be joined by an extraor-dinary team of men and women who are

What Every Long Islander Should KnowMapping an Illogical System

By Nancy Rauch Douzinas

Imagine we could start over and recreate Long Island, rebuilding our com-munities from the ground up.

When it comes to providing basic services like who hauls away our gar-bage, provides our water or patrols our streets, how would you design it?

Would you create 124 different school districts? 41 police departments?How about 73 garbage disposal agencies, 227 fire and ambulance depart-ments, 54 water agencies, 110 library groups or 26 sewer agencies? Oh

and lets throw in that each one of these departments can be organized in atleast 20 different ways including departments in incorporated villages, com-missioner-led special districts and associations.

Yup, Im confused.If we were starting anew, I doubt we would create anything this complex

yet that is exactly what exists on Long Island today.How on earth did we get here?

In the early 1900s, people began to move out of the city and into the rural,unincorporated areas on Long Island. As new communities sprung up, sodid the need to provide services to those communities. As Levittown wasformed, for example, so was the Levittown school district, fire district andgarbage district.

The same story continued to play out for nearly every new community onthe Island.

This becomes a dizzying array of bureaucracy that costs us, not just interms of taxes, but in our ability to effectively manage our resources or ad-dress regional challenges.

Lets take the example of water.We have one aquifer system that serves as the sole source of our drinking

water for all of Long Island but we have 54 different agencies charged withproviding water to their local communities.So whos in charge of managing the aquifer system to make sure it doesntget contaminated? The answer, unfortunately, is nobody.Each agency is tasked with providing water within its own jurisdictionalboundary, but the aquifer doesnt care about jurisdictional boundaries. Atoxic plume that starts in Bethpage doesnt just stay in Bethpage, it migratesto Farmingdale, Massapequa and beyond.There are many examples of how the complexity of our district lines makesgovernance less efficient, more expensive, slower to react to a crisis andharder to organize pro-active planning to create a more sustainable future.Yet so few Long Islanders understand how we are structured in terms ofthese services. And from the water example, its clear, it matters.

Ask yourself, do you know who provides your services? Do you knowwhen elections are held? The Long Island Index launched a new series ofmaps to help explain it. Take a look. Go to www.longislandindexmaps.org;select the tab Service Providers; enter your address in the search box andvoila, check out all of your providers and look at how many providers thereare for each service across the county.

As you look at the map and understand how we got here, ask yourself,Should we let our past dictate our future or is it time for some new think-ing?

I Love Babies

I love everything about babies:how they smell, how they feelcurled up against you, how theycoo and squirm and sigh, how theysmile in their sleep. And its agood thing I love them so much because Ive had five! Its a clich,

but being a mom truly is is thetoughest and most rewarding jobin the world, which makes startinga website for new and expectantparents also a labor of love for me.I grew up one of four children, andI guess it just doesnt feel likehome to me without the sounds ofmultiple pairs of feet scurryingabove me or a pile of backpacksand little shoes by the front door.My husband and I had our five

kids in 6 years (no, thats not atypo and no, there arent any twinsor triplets in the mix). And afterten years as a lawyer at a majormedia company, I embarked on anew journey as an entrepreneur.

When I was a first time mom,

everything was just so hard! Ibarely managed to get out of thehouse, let alone balance breast-feeding, endless loads of laundry,washing dishes, or even shampoo-ing my hair. But by the timeMarielle came along, I had myown little routines, systems andtricks that completely saved mysanity, and I wanted to share them!Thus, the birth of my sixth baby:CloudMom.

In my series of how-to videos onbabys first year, I offer tips and

advice based on what Ive learnedalong the way, mistakes and all. Ialso do a daily video blog on par-enting news and trends and thosetopics you dont always want totalk out loud about. Moms alwayshave questions and worries and

doubts, but were all in this to-gether.

8 SalesStrategiesto Avoidthe Sum-merSlump:

1. Set a sales

target. It maysound obviousbut if you dont have something to aim forthen you wont know when you have suc-ceeded. You shouldnt have just a monthlysales target, if times are tight then this shouldbe weekly. Write it on a board so the wholecompany can see it and make everyone un-derstand what it is and why it is there.

2. Reconnect with former clients. Its 7 to 10times more costly to acquire new clients thanit is to sell to current or former clients.

3. Generate new sales from current clientswith a new product offering. Expanding yourrevenue per sale.

4. Sharpen your tools -Most salespeople dont

spend enough time working on improvingtheir sales skills and techniques. If your busi-ness is slower in the summer, take the time tolearn how to sell more effectively and getinvolved in a sales coaching program. Beginnow by putting your own plan in place tosharpen your sales skills and hone your salestechniques. Great salespeople do not blamethe seasons for their slump.

5. Increase sales activities - In the summermonths companies and salespeople cut theirsales activities. They actually have said tome, If we are not going to sell anything,what is the point? It is completely back-wards thinking and the type of thinking thatwill keep you exactly where you are. Increas-ing your sales activity will increase salesresults.

6. Dont believe the hype - One of the biggestproblems with this summer slump chatter isthat salespeople use the chatter to fuel the fireand make excuses about themselves and theirbusiness. People tend to believe everythingthey hear and see instead of challenging thesummer slowdown belief. If you perceive noone is around and everyone is on vacationthen you are setting yourself up for a negativeself-fulfilling prophecy and your sales willtake a long siesta.

7. Mix business with pleasure. Schedule asummer client party at the pool, park, or base-ball stadium. Schedule lunches or coffeeswith past clients, or invite your A list ofpeople over for a barbecue. Get creative andmix business with pleasure- its a great wayto enjoy the summer AND generate new busi-ness. I have found client parties are a greatway to drive new sales and have fun!

8. Refine and increase your marketing efforts.Analyse what's working for you and whatisn't. Can you improve your methods? Is ityour message?

Publicity Campaign

Strategies for Small

Businesses Wins the

War

By Phil Andrews

Publicity Campaigns for Small Businesseshas the ability to win the war for Small Busi-nesses over a period of time. Brand awarenesstakes time and specific strategies for anysmall business to reap its benefits. Publicitycampaigns should be based on specific goalsof each particular business. Every businessshould map out a well designed plan to takeadvantage of newsworthy items that appear intheir business on a regular basis. The problemthat arises with most small businesses is thatthey are so consumed with many of the day today activities that public relations campaignsget put on the back burner. Publicity is onearea where most small business get can morebang for their buck. Where else can a busi-ness get more for their buck in exchange for alittle time invested, and creativity? Someyears ago I sent an article to a magazine by

the name of Shoptalk Magazine, and theyfeatured a story about the Haircut Hut Barber-shop Franchise which I ran for a period of tenyears. The cost of the three page story was atyped letter, envelope and stamp. The maga-zine space in which the article appeared wasvalued well over three thousand dollars.Some areas in which publicity are overlookedin small businesses are anniversaries, additionof key employees, renovation, new web site,new location, new product line, strategic alli-ances, partnerships, etc. Top of the mind

awareness for small businesses must be de-veloped in a systematic matter. The best wayto accomplish such a huge task is to attackyour campaign by developing a systematicpublic relations campaign around specificthings that occur in your business. Look howMcDonalds capitalized on the number ofhamburgers sold. They leveraged the numberof sales into one of the biggest publicity cam-paigns. Small businesses can also leveragenewsworthy events that happen in their busi-ness on a regular basis. The art of the big dealshould be a business owners primary way ofthinking. If you do not make a big deal out ofthe accomplishments of your business no oneelse will think second about it, matter of factno one will know about your great news.Newspapers need news. We live in an infor-mation society, and if newspapers can get agreat story for free most newspapers willcover your story if it fits their need for spe-cific content.The greatest thing about publicity is that it is

just the beginning when your article firstappears in a publication. Your featured articlecan now be copied and sent to friends, youcan use it in a press kit or put it on your web-site, or event use it in your online newsletters.Publicity is a door opener and if used cor-rectly it can open many more doors and getyou many more features. The hardest thingabout a publicity campaign is to get it rolling;it has a snowball effect once you get started.One added benefit, people tend to support theproduct and services in which they are famil-iar with on a regular basis. Both large andsmall companies benefit from publicity.There is no such thing as any company beingtoo well known.

CHARGEThe EntrepreneurialLife

Creatively RaisingCapital

If a business is to survive, you need capital.Just like individuals need cash or money forpurchases of food, clothing and shelter-thenecessities; also, businesses have necessitiesor startup costs.

Before you make your first sale, have agrand opening or have your first employee,you will have costs. There is rent money you

pay for your office, store, showroom or ware-house. Also equipment purchases, creation of

your business cards, design andprinting of your letterhead, office

stationary and registering of yourbusiness. Your inventory or mer-chandise costs, purchases of yourcomputer and its printer, your faxmachine, phone system and filingcabinets are all costs. Do not for-get your salary ~d required pay-roll demands.

Now that you realize you willhave expenses related to being abusiness owner. Let us explore

the concept or need of finances. They are legaland creative sources of capital or cash for theinspiring as well as the established entrepre-neurs.Traditional sources of money for new entre-preneurs are: personal savings, loans and/ormonetary gifts from family members andfriends, credit card advances (practice caution)

and a bank loan. Remember, business bankloans are given when acceptable and profes-

sional business plan is developed and deliv-ered. O.P .M. or other people money is a fan-

tasy of entrepreneurs. Be prepared to pay yourfinancial gifts or windfall bank in a timelyfashion and with interest. Your credibility,character and future obtainment of more loansdepend on your ability to repay.

Some creative sources of loans are investorssuch as 'angels' and venture capitalists. Doyour research or due diligence on individualsand institutions who can make loans. In busi-ness partnerships, often times one or morepartners help finance the business venture.May they be an 'invisible' (i.e., behind thescenes) partner or a 'day-to-day' working part-ner.

Black folks do not usually have a 'rich uncle'or major legacy via a will, left for them tostart or expand their business. Also, freemoney or grants are target to non-profits.That's after a proposal and documents are

submitted to qualify.

Managing money properly is just as impor-tant as making money. It is an appropriate

phrase: "a fool and his money will soon part."Practice budgeting and bookkeeping, under-stand your financials, create a positive cashflow, revenues and profit statements. Do notlet only your accountant or CP A understandyour company's financial insights.

Kam Williams: Hi, Laurel, thanks for thetime.Laurel J. Richie: Thanks, Kam.

KW: What interested you in going from theGirl Scouts to the WNBA?

LJR: Early on in my career, when I was

working at an advertising agency, I went to avery senior-level meeting and I distinctlyremember the inside of the boardroom: everysingle seat was occupied by a man. In thatmoment, I made a private promise to myselfthat I would do everything in my power tobring more diversity to these rooms whereleaders gathered and decisions were made.As my career unfolded and I worked on awide range of clients and gained experienceacross lots of different industries, the busi-

nesses I enjoyed the most where those thatfocused on women. This passion really cameto the forefront when I made the move fromadvertising to the Girl Scouts and then, veryclearly, when I made the decision to join theWNBA. As the longest-running womensprofessional sports league in the country, theWNBA is a great product comprising 132 ofthe best female athletes in the world. Andwhen you look beyond the players to owners,coaches, trainers, accountants, and chiefoperating officers -- it's a wonderful exampleof what women can achieve in sports and inbusiness.

KW: How do you hope to generate greaterinterest in the league and its superstars likeMaya Moore and Candace Parker?

LJR: The summer of 2012 is turning out tobe very special. We are celebrating the 40thanniversary of Title IX and the Olympics aretaking place in London, and we have seenincreased interest in and exposure of ourplayers. The WNBA is very proud of the factthat all 12 members of the U.S. WomensSenior National Team are WNBA players.For them to represent our country on an in-ternational stage is terrific. Millions aroundthe world will see them and have the oppor-tunity to get to know them not only as greatathletes, but as interesting and inspiringwomen.

KW: Why is there seemingly a stigma onwomens athletics which is reflected in a lagin the WNBAs ratings in comparison to the

NBAs?LJR: We are a young league now in our16th season and we have seen our atten-dance and viewership increase for each ofthe past five years. Our growth is a directresult of the fact that our game is excitingand highly competitive, and our in-arenaexperience is a ton of fun. Once people cometo a game, they are hooked. In many ways, Ithink the WNBA is changing the way Amer-ica views women and is having a positiveimpact on the way America views profes-sional athletes. Were showing the worldwhat women can be as athletes and whatathletes can be as citizens.

KW: To what do you credit youre not onlyclimbing the corporate ladder but breakingthe glass ceiling and reaching the pinnacle

of success in the business world, a rarity forAfrican-American females?

LJR: My parents. As far back as I can re-member, their commitment to making a posi-tive impact on the communities in whichthey lived and worked was equal only totheir commitment to helping my sisters,brother, and me achieve our dreams.

KW: Tell me a little about what mentoringyoung black girls means to you?

LJR: Throughout my career, I have benefit-ted from the experience and counsel of awide range of people who took a very per-sonal interest in me. As a result, I am alwayshappy to share lessons learned from my jour-ney with others. I am particularly passionate

about mentoring young black girls. While weare a very diverse group, there is a specialbond that connects us to each other. When Iwork with them, I see them in me and I be-lieve they see me in them. By coming to-gether, we are able to show the world thepower and the promise of black girls.

KW: Will part of your mission involve alsoencouraging your WNBA players to seethemselves as role models and to devotemore of their free time to mentoring?

LJR: I don't have to encourage our playersto be positive role models, as that is some-thing that has always been important to themand something that they very willingly em-brace. Whether its through the WNBA Ca-res program or through their own initiatives,WNBA players give as much off the court asthey do on the court. They are committed tomaking a positive impact on the communi-ties in which they live and work, and they doit in very different ways: Tamika Catchingsand Swin Cash mentor young girls on self-esteem through their foundations; Tina

Charles helped build a school in Africa withher personal donation; Ruth Riley travels theworld to bring attention to global diseases.The list goes on. I am very proud of all ourplayers as they truly are inspiring role mod-els for young girls and young boys.

KW: How would you like the world to per-ceive the WNBA players participating in theOlympic Games this year?

LJR: On a professional level, these athletesare quite simply 12 of the best female bas-ketball players in the world. On a personallevel, each one has an interesting and uniquestory to tell about her journey to the Olym-pics. Over the next two weeks and beyond-- I would like the world to get to know themas athletes, citizens of the world and fabu-

lous women.

KW: What other changes do you envisionimplementing during your tenure?

LJR: We will continue to focus on atten-dance and income, as those are our keymeasures of bringing more and more peopleto the game and growing our fan base. Weare actively doing outreach to organizationsthat appreciate and value the WNBA in order

to build an even more robust group of spon-sors and partners.

KW: What do you hope will be your WNBAlegacy?

LJR: I dont spend much time thinkingabout my legacy; my focus is on the legacyof the league and of the athletes who givetheir all on and off the court. We are, andwill continue to be, the destination for thebest womens basketball players in theworld. Every day we strive to provide our

fans with an exciting and entertaining experi-ence.

KW: Do you think there is a need to expandthe participation of African-American fe-males in the field of sports media?

LJR: I would love to see more African-American females engaged in all aspects ofsports. All of the research tells us that par-ticipation in sports has a very positive impactin both the short and long term. Girls whoparticipate in sports have a higher self-esteem and are more likely to graduate fromcollege, and 80 percent of female executivesplayed team sports growing up.

KW: What advice do you have for anyonewho wants to follow in your footsteps?

LJR: Dream big and stay true to yourself asyou pursue your dreams.

KW: Thanks again for the interview, andbest of luck with the WNBA and the Olym-pics.

LJR: Thanks.

Why Men should not

trust their girlfriends

Long ago, there was a hunter who livedwith his mother. 'This hunter killed no otheranimal but elephants. Every time he went outto hunt, he killed an elephant.

So the elephants met and appointed one oftheir leaders to find out why this man wouldkill no other animal but elephants. The ele-phant was also to find out why the hunterwas never harmed. The elephant appointed tomeet the man changed into a beautiful girl.Once when the man was hunting, he saw this

beautiful girl and fell in love with her. Shetold him that she was lost and couldn't findher way home; she would be glad if hewould let her go with him.

The man took the girl home with him. Hetold his mother what had happened and shewas as jolly as could be. That night the girlpretended to love the boy very dearly. Whilerubbing his back she asked, 'Why do youonly kill elephants?' Now this man had asecret. He began to reveal this secret to hisgirlfriend.

'When I shoot an elephant,' he said, '1 turninto a stump. When another elephant is shot Iturn into a bird. If another is shot I turn intograss and if still another is shot I turn into alizzard.'

Just as he was about to tell the last secret,his mother called to him and said, 'Do not go

any further because you don't know who thisgirl is.'The next day the girl took a bucket and

pretended to go for water. However, straight-away she went to the elephants and told themall she had learnt. Three weeks later, the manwent out hunting. He shot one elephant andturned into a stump. The elephants chasedthe stump. He shot another elephant and

changed to a bird. Still he was chased, andafter shooting an elephant, he turned into

grass. They continued to chase him. Anotherelephant was shot and he turned to a lizard.The elephants decided to chase him until hewas caught. The hunter ran into a garden,shot an elephant and immediately turned toan egg-plant. The elephants had followed the

lizzard who was the hunter, but they couldn'tfind him anywhere. They were so tired andangry that they turned on their leader. 'Youhave deceived us!' they shouted. The ele-phants killed the one that had been appoin-ted to find out the man's secret.

When the hunter went home, he told hismother what had happened and promisedthat he would always obey her. Never wouldhe tell all of his secrets to a girl friend.

In much of Africa, the traditions, customs, philoso-phy, and wisdom of the tribes are bound up infolklore. Theses stories, tales, often outrageous to apoint of disbelief, impact knowledge, morals, andfortitudes in difficult times. Why men should nottrust their girl friends is just one example of thekinds of stories African parents tell their offspringsto guide them from the dangers of this world.

There is a moral to each folktale.

What is the moral ofWhy men should not trusttheir girl friends?

If you guess the moral of why men should not trusttheir girl friends, write to us.

Or, do you have a folktale, something that indi-rectly forewarns of danger impacts knowledge?
