Is a Black Child An Asset With a Value?
IS A BLACK CHILD AN ASSET WITH A VALUE? ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT ONE OF GOD’S MOST PRECIOUS GIFTS, AN ACHIEVER IN TRAINING(TM)
By Joan E. Gosier, CEO of HBCU kidz, Inc.
Fort Lauderdale, FL (BlackNews.com) – I have two passionate loves in life: property investment and family. Lately, I have been distracted by the growing disturbing statistics racing across my email screen each week. Life working on the internet has its rewards but is wrought with nagging disturbances. Someone insists on forwarding a petition to fund a wronged black child’s legal battle, or someone else forwards me one of those morbid stories about a senseless death of a black baby in a hot smoldering car. Global competition losses are forever popping in and out of my provider’s news flash. After each toy recall, I stop and wonder why and how many babies’ lives may be potentially negatively impacted over the next few years from tainted Chinese toys.
