Maggie Anderson is a woman of substance and walks every talk. Anderson's shocking and enlightening book, Our Black Year, was born from what many black people say with nauseating regularity, but that the Anderson family actually practiced. The power couple bought exclusively from black-owned businesses for an entire year and documented their profound findings through their Empowerment Experiment website and Our Black Year book.  "The Empowerment Experiment is grounded in my family's public pledge to live off of black businesses and talent, and to buy black for an entire year. Since then, the Empowerment Experiment has evolved into a movement where we encourage consumers of all kinds and races to support black businesses," says the Chicago native who's called "Mrs. Buy Black" at speaking engagements around the country. "And in doing so you counter the social crisis that disproportionately impacts black people. We believe that it's a beautiful thing that is just as American as buying white, buying military, etc."  A Sister to our own Harlem Power of One Program...this is a must have book for every black person who want to economically empower themselves and their community.   see special coupon below....to help you...afford this book.

A deeply moving story by a survivor of the commercial sex industry who has devoted her career to activism and helping other young girls escape "the life." At thirteen, Rachel Lloyd found herself caught up in a world of pain and abuse, struggling to survive as a child with no responsible adults to support her. Vulnerable yet tough, she eventually ended up a victim of commercial sexual exploitation. It took time and incredible resilience, but finally, with the help of a local church community, she broke free of her pimp and her past. Three years later, Lloyd arrived in the United States to work with adult women in the sex industry and soon founded her own nonprofit-GEMS, Girls Educational and Mentoring Services-to meet the needs of other girls with her history. She also earned her GED and won full scholarships to college and a graduate program. Today Lloyd is executive director of GEMS in New York City and has turned it into one of the nation's most groundbreaking nonprofit organizations.
