Our survival. Cooperate, coordinate, collaborate, and partner. Just listen and implement.
Enough. We have to come together. To cooperate,
coordinate, collaborate, and partner (CCC&P) for the survival of our families,
and communities. Our immediate and
international community
We
have the financial resources to sustain each other, our nonprofits, and private
industry. But we’re all in different
silo’s, different objectives, and ego’s that need satisfaction.
One
of our members brought this to my attention.
Is this statement true for some?
Not
only in the America’s, throughout the diaspora from the U.S., Caribbean,
Central & South America, the continent of Africa, Europe, Asia wherever Blacks
of African Descent have migrated.
The number of disasters shall
increase as a result of climate change.
Coordination of planning, preparedness, response, recovery, and
sustainability has to be ‘stepped up’ in our communities worldwide. Current events affecting our communities are
an indication of that lack of CCC&P.
From New Orleans, Haiti earthquake, West Africa (Ebola Crisis), and now
Haiti hurricane crisis. Just listen and
implement Enough.

Homelessness. An international issue.
Homelessness
is not only a local issue, but national security and international issue
requiring a structured analytical approach with all members of the community,
local culture, and the new culture within the homeless community to be at the
table.
20th
Century traditional homeless models cannot be resolved with 20th Century
solutions.
Time
for a change, no more business as usual.
Lets’
resolve 21st Century homelessness with forward thinking 22nd
Century solution.

Emergency Management Academics, Real World Experience, and Lack of Credentials (PhD)
Will HBCU’s and our communities constantly be ‘behind the curve’ in homeland
security and emergency management curricula because our experience comes from
real world crisis, or military experience?
More and more of our members are obtaining higher academic credentials.
