Self Enrichment and Self-Empowerment of African Americans and Latinos
After watching many of my people die, suffer, live in poverty and ignorance, I decided to create this site. Now by no means is this site going to cure all the problems in the African American, Black, and Latino communities. I do feel that dialog, communication, and education are the best place to start.
I would like for all my intelligent, positive, strong, ambitious, people (of all color) to exchange thoughts and spread some knowledge amongst one another. We also do not want the site to be too stiff so feel free to pass along jokes and post some humorous topics. Along with getting educated, we need to have a little fun.
Everyone is free to join the site. Please just stick to the theme of "Self Enrichment and Self Empowerment of African Americans and Latinos." If you have info that can contribute, please join us and post some blogs, forums, and chat with us.
Do not forget to help us to build this online community by spreading the word, inviting people to join, and posting interested topics in the forum and blogs sections. Feel free to contact me regarding the site. Suggestions are always welcomed.

Is the 2008 Election Rigged for Hillary Clinton?

25 Great Companies for Black Women
Jayme S. Gayney, Essence Magazine
To create this year's list, Essence asked more than 60 business insiders -- headhunters, human resources representatives, research firms and nonprofit organizations -- to nominate companies with solid reputations for hiring, retaining, supporting and promoting Black women.(Unlike other lists that rely on a question-and-answer survey in which companies can respond with what they want you to know, we created our methodology based on discussions with those in the know.) We then conducted additional research to find exceptional programs and policies within these organizations that cater specifically to our needs. We also contacted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to find out if those being considered are indeed practicing what they preach. Finally, we scoured the staff of some great companies to find Black women who are succeeding at all levels.
Here are the findings (* Companies listed alphabetically):
1. Aetna, Inc., Hartford
What makes it great: There are strong employee networks at this health-care benefits company, with plenty of opportunities for Black women to meet others. It also has programs that give midlevel employees of color leadership development training for future top spots.
2. Citigroup, New York
What makes it great: Citigroup has solid employee-led affinity networks and high-placed Black women. Ann Dibble Jordan sits on the board of directors, and Leah Johnson, senior vice-president, global corporate affairs, and the highest-ranking Black woman in the company, sits on its exclusive operating and management committees. Citigroup also has 15 other Black women among its senior management ranks.
