Thankyou Karen Hinds for participating with some content for our newsletter. Please check her out below in her column: Networking in the workplace.

I have some other possible featured columns or articles in the works. I'm gonna put a little pressure on them by mentioning it now. LOL! They will be: a recommended reading list and possibly a book review once a month or so. Also, possibly a travel column and/or tips on getting into college. Ok yall! I put it out there! You know who you are so you gotta come through, WE WAITIN'...ZZZ...ZZZ! :-) Yeah, I should talk right?

The likely topics in each newsletter will be:
From Your Publisher

News: including New Member Drive update, summit, conference call schedule and results

Make Mo Money: this week the article in the publisher section is about making money. The following issue there will be a heading on it's own.

Main Article: usually by myself or a guest author on the topic of, you guessed it "Networking" either directly or related to. Featured column

Featured article: on any topic

Another possibility will be a business of the month, where members will be able to have their business listed and we could still make sure members are not flooded with business ads.

.. all will not necessarily be there every issue but they will show up in some issues. Enjoy the rest of the Newsletter.

FROM  YOUR PUBLISHER

This is the Official Newsletter of The WBNWA
(World Black Networking Association)

And Our Mission is:

We intend to help all black peoples to overcome the disadvantages and injustices and inequalities found in America today. It is to make a contribution in helping our country to get one step closer to how it was intended to be, a country of equal opportunity and justice for all.

We intend to do that by focusing on the needs of the black community first and working together in all areas of life socially, economically, spiritually, emotionally.

We intend to create synergies and work creatively to solve the challenges of our people and to take advantage of the freedoms afforded us to excel in the America of the future and the world.

We intend to help and coordinate with blacks from around the world.

We intend to then from a position of strength encourage others to continue to work together and we will work with them toward creating unity, harmony and opportunity for all races and peoples.





Founders Word on Networking:

Crabs in a bucket syndrome

This is one thing you'll hear me mention again and again is this:

We got Crabs in a bucket syndrome:

When we're stuck, like so many of us are, Black folk like to keep the rest of us stuck with us, we're like crabs in a bucket, ghetto crabs, any crab sticks thier head up and want to crawl out the bucket we wanna pull 'em back in with us, who the hell do they think they are anyways, they ain't nothin'!! What, you gone get outta the ghetto? Sell out! OR when we make it, we think the worlds problems are solved, racial equality has been won! We don't reach back and help others to make it to where we are. Hello brothers, sisters, you didn't make it to where you are alone.

We gotta change this! Now, one by one. As we have successful networking stories we will share them and hopefully it will become addictive. Success by working together and developing a larger and closer and more rewarding network in the process.
