A Plan With Promise
by Marty Nickison
A Better Today Brings A Brighter Tomorrow is LaShanda Henry's proven plan for academic success and community achievement in the lives of many young African-Americans.
LaShanda is 'taking the bull by the nose' with this comprehensive plan for success. An avid believer in the 'it takes a community to raise a child' theorem, she encourages parents to take an active role in their child's education process from the child's elementary years. This book provides economic ways to provide a quality education; which will lead to a successful career as well as other future endeavors.
LaShanda, I must say that your book is quite impressive. I'm in awe of your work here! Someone who has taken action on what could possibly be the most important crisis in Black America today: the lack of education and the desire to pursue it. Continue in your mission and may God show favor as you touch the lives of many of today’s youth.
Marty A. Nickison BSCS, Net+

A Few Words from the author:
I designed this particular guide for Black Parents who are interested in making Afrocentric Learning and exposure to Black Culture an integral part of their children’s development. From support groups to .. activities, within this book is an extensive list of over 200 links created just for you and your children. Though it’s often times hard to tell, the internet is actually filled with an increasing number of positive, multicultural web pages. Some are a little harder to find than others, but that’s why you have me to do the searching so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy the sites!
