As you can tell in the majority of my latest postings; I have been trying to drop knowledge, bring awareness to African-American excellence, and just being all-around useful in my articles. Anyway, as I was on Twitter; one of the groups I follow (Revolution of Hope) referred me to a Young Brother that is without a doubt doing HIS THING. The Young Brother is a promising and outstanding Young Entrepreneur. Brother Toni Oloko has started a Tech Company at the age of 18. So far, Mr. Oloko has been featured in numerous Tech and Media Outlets. His company is now in the Mass Challenge, which is the largest-ever startup accelerator and competition that support early staged entrepreneurs. Now as Mr. Oloko continues to succeed to the tech world, he has launched a company that gives the word Practice (did you say PRACTICE- Allen Iverson voice). This is a new and 21st Century practice approach. The app is called PracticeGigs.




A startup based out of Massachusetts, the app helps you become a better Tennis Player by scheduling practice sessions with other Tennis Players in the area (free for players on your skill level and a fee for advance "practice" players). Mr. Oloko is passionate and knows a lot about Tennis (Oloko is a previously nationally-ranked tennis player top 120 in the country).


This is an amazing startup and it has already seen good success. This app is diverse and cool. It was also created by a Young Brother.




In closing, PracticeGig is great for those who love the game of Tennis and who want to get better. Practice only make perfect and Mr. Oloko is making great strides at making his company a "hit."


Mr. Oloko talks about the future of the company in a interview done.




“Our goal is to be in 10 different activities by the end of the year,” says Oloko. “Hundreds of people have reached out to us to expand into music, chess and even video games in the near future.”
The app is currently available for practice sessions in the Greater Boston and Eastern Massachusetts region, says Oloko. It is available only on iOS but, “Android is launching soon, just a couple of months away,” says Oloko.

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school.

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
