The first week of Black History Month is historically controversial. Thanks to social media, I don't even have to explain much. You can follow it all via Twitter and the videos speak for themselves.
Historical giveaway
I would like to start the giveaway of 25 Black owned businesses. I started this historic campaign based on an article that money only circulates for a few hours in our black community compared to 6 and 8 times to infinity in every other community. You understand that this is not constructive.
What Black people lack is not entrepreneurship, it’s the fact that we can’t find each other. Halal, for example, ritually slaughtered meat, is one of the ways to keep money circulating in the community. Since we don’t have that, we have to find another way to keep money circulating in the community. Black History Month is a great opportunity.
I was so happy with the overwhelming response from the companies who all wanted to participate. No less than 25! And you too can win. Watch the video to see what you can win, go to Going-Natural.com and leave a comment. Yes, it's that simple.
Why Black History Month
For those who think Black History Month is over the top, here’s the video of Francesca. A comedienne I interviewed a few years ago on going-natural.com for her controversial locs. Now she has her own show.

Queen B wins!
Beyonce, the queen of music, wins by launching her video one day before the Super Bowl.
Formation is the most talked about video and the timing couldn't be better. Full of symbolism from Black history to the current #BlackLivesMatter movement the video is captivating but there are more layers. Beyonce who hardly gives interviews says it all in this video.
With the words “I like my baby hair, with baby hair and afros” she responds to those who have commented on her daughter's frizzy hair.
With the sentence “I like my negro nose with Jackson Five nostrils” she indicates Black is Beautiful.
And when she proudly repeats these words, you know she is proud of her roots: “You mix that Negro with that Creole make a Texas bama“.
For me, Black history is super educational anyway. These events only make it more interesting and I think it's great that I can contribute with the Giveaway campaign.
