HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! For those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope that you had a great holiday, and were able to enjoy your families and loved ones in this crazy time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hope that you were able to enjoy a hearty meal with family, and have ease of mind, at least for one day during this trying year...
As Thanksgiving comes to a close, I would like to encourage everyone to participate in the Holiday Economic support Initiative/HESI. I came up with this initiative back in 2016, as a way to help combat against the racial violence that was affecting and inflicting our communities by the powers that be through gentrification, and through physical violence through murders committed by the police, and vigilantes. It is a financial call to arms to financially support our businesses, our entrepreneurs, and our creative artists (visual, musical, literary, etc.). The initiative generally lasts from Thanksgiving/Black Friday through to New Years Day.
PLEASE help to participate in this initiative by supporting our indie artists, black-owned businesses, and our entrepreneurs. If WE don't support our own people in these business and artistic endeavors, who will? We are not taken seriously in this society, as is evidently proven just about every day, and was visible to all for the last four years, and MANY many more years, before then. To support and participate in this movement, please use the hashtags #HolidayEconomicSupportInitiative, or #HESI for any business, entrepreneur, or indie artist that you support. Include their Facebook page, Twitter or InstaGram handle, or a picture of their business, or product with the hashtag. We need to help and promote our businesses and entrepreneurs in order for them to be able to survive, and remain solvent. I also speak a bit about the initiative in my latest video of "The Rough Draft" posted to YouTube; Episode 27 to be exact.
Please participate, support, and help to spread the word!
Keep the fist raised.
