Our ‘corporate’ site is still in the planning stages. All suggestions are welcomed. Before that goes live a Store page will be added here. These initial offerings will be items from my friends as well as links to the web stores of various charitable organizations. The Sellers will ship directly to the Buyer. No fees or commissions. So basically, we’re just calling it a Store.
Work continues on my #followme2Selma plan. Currently, this effort is taking the form of a Social Justice Residency program designed to match South Florida non-profits with non-profits in Dallas County, AL, and beyond. Our first exchange is underway and involves children and nutrition.
To indoctrinate Florida’s schoolchildren with Critical Race Theory (just kidding), I have purchased and plan to distribute educational rulers to as many school kids as I can. This may necessitate me seeking funding for the first time. In general, personal contributions to me are a good way for your money to go a long way. By that, I mean, you’ll never see it again! But the rulers, which I will “sell” at my cost, will provide an opportunity to earmark your gift should you wish to join my Anti-Ron DeSantis campaign.
There are too many big and small for-profit opportunities in Dallas County to even list.
Stay tuned…

So much has been revealed to me. I have been focusing on ways to build bridges between the nonprofits run by my friends in PB County and those nonprofits of my new friends in Selma, AL. This portion of my work has been going extremely well.
Work has begun on the next iteration of our website. Before too long, visitors will be able to watch, help, and partner with us on what will be a unique national platform.
Work has also begun on a satellite office in Gainesville, FL.
I am mentoring and coaching young and old alike.
I no longer think of my DEI program as ‘mine.’ It’s still available, for free, to anyone who has a clue what to do with it. I get why academics, even with tenure, might be freaked out by it. I get why most other people could care less about it. And if I am forced to charge people to explain it, well, I’m too busy right now; but hold that thought.
In my world, the Federal Hate crime convictions of the murderers of Amaud Arbery and the guilty verdicts of Chauvin’s accomplices, are very significant and bring me hope.

I have begun loading more information about the DEI program. The curriculum, exercises, and my 2-cents worth of insights will be added before too much longer. Again, this is all “FREE because it is YOURS.” The first person to correctly identify that literary reference gets a Gold Star!

I have recently added an Affiliate category to highlight our on-going efforts in Selma, AL. In the weeks ahead that chapter will officially launch, by which I mean ‘virtually.’ This process is being rolled out as a way to demonstrate the steps any two people of different race or ethnic origin can start their own Chapter with our support. There will be much more content added here, so check back often.
I will be expanding “my” playlist to demonstrate more of the musical genius that has had an impact on me. Given all the Great Resignation chatter of late, it occurred to me just this morning to add “Take This Job and Shove It,” by Johnny Paycheck. Others soon to be added to my list include Bob Marley and the Wailers’, “War/No More Trouble,” Canned Heat’s, “Let’s Work Together,” and Nina Simone’s version of, “Strange Fruit.” You feel me?
Very soon, The Jakzen Group link will lead to my marketing offering. This is ostensibly my For-Profit platform but all of my advice is free. It’s only the explanations I charge for. And only if I absolutely have to. Overall, I am a strong believer that, “Trade tarnishes everything it touches.” {Identify that literary reference for Platinum Status!}
