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.

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. A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...
Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...
