Sisters In Struggle - Together Adding Strength


	Sisters In Struggle - Together Adding Strength

S.I.S.T.A.S - Is the brain child of education advocate Carmen M Colon, which provides the type of support minorities and women going into business craves for.

This group of high-powered women have reputations for putting the marvel in MARVELOUS!

We belong or in many cases run our own non-profit or for profit organizations and through our individual struggles and determination to see our good works survive we found each other.

Sisters in struggle - we forged what others might consider an unlikely alliance in this tight competitive search for funding and support and instead help each other vie for grants.

EVEN if we find ourselves in competing arenas of interest and business.

We assist and volunteer at each other's events and fund raisers and insure that all of our causes get air time with the media. We use our professional expertise and experiences to bring ourselves to the world and the world to us.

SO, NOW IT'S YOUR TURN

and

Meet Karen Demmery - My Australian SISTA

Meet Karen Demmery - My Australian SISTA

THE HIGHEST PEAK: Why I do what I do
Issue 166 - 13 Nov 2008

ISSUE 166, November 13, 2008: In a new fortnightly column, KAREN DEMMERY urges you to think outside the... shape.

Hello, my name is Karen Demmery. My goal is to help one million women to believe in themselves. I want to help my people and everyone else on top of that will be a bonus.

I would first like to acknowledge my old people who have gone before me to clear the path I walk today. I am who I am because of you.

I am a Wiradjuri woman born in Dubbo NSW. Although I have lived in Canberra for nearly 20 years, I love my hometown. I love being Aboriginal. We have the greatest culture in the whole world. I love being a woman. I love that I have skinny legs and bigger hips (some days more than others), or that I can change my mood depending on the day or time. I also love being a strong proud woman.

I'm cut from the cloth of a long line of strong women, three who are still with me, and two who are with me now in spirit.

My mother, who is the greatest woman to ever live, taught me what a work ethic really is. My Nan who is amazing because she is my Nan. My aunty who guides and supports me. My two aunties who guide me in spirit do so much for me. To all these women, I can never thank you enough.

I'll be talking about women and empowerment, women and business and women and money. Now, I don't claim to be an expert on any of these topics. I talk about these topics from a place of my experience with my story firmly behind me. These are my opinions based on my life experience. So I invite you to question me.

I love hearing different opinions because it gives me an option I may have never thought of. I might not agree with it, and if I don't then I let it go. However, if I agree with it, I have two options, rather than the one I had myself.

So once you've questioned what I've written and thought about your opinion on it, then I'll invite you to go one step further and question where that opinion you hold comes from.

Is it your own? Has it been taught to you by someone and you've never stopped to question it or ask if it's actually working for you and serving you, or is it working against you?

If it's not working for you, or serving your greater good, I'd invite you to respectfully decide if you can let it go or change it.

I say respectfully because from a cultural perspective, I would never intend for you to disrespect the culture, or the person who gave you the information. Are your opinions and thoughts serving your greater good? Or do they work against you and keep you in a place of anger and resentment?

To decide this you must question it.

I read a story once about a mother and daughter who were preparing the traditional Sunday dinner. The mother cut the ends off the roast before placing it in the large baking tray as she had done for probably a decade.

Her daughter asked her why she cut the end off the roast. The mother replied that her mother had done it so she just did it as well.

The daughter asked if she could ask her Nan next time why she always cut the end off the roast. The mother called the Nan and asked the question. After the grandmother had stopped laughing, she informed them both that the only reason she cut the end off the roast was because the baking tray was too small to hold the entire roast.

Both mother and daughter decided to continue to cut the end off the roast, but they now knew why they were doing it. Respectfully questioning.

Sometimes it pays to question your actions. It made me wonder what those women thought about while they were preparing the roast each week. Did they stop to think about the reasons they did this? Our thoughts are wonderful things. We have complete control over them. Good or bad, we decide.

You cannot stop a thought, however, you can decide to let go of a negative thought and turn it into a positive one. It takes a decision to do that.

For example, you come out to get into the car and take the kids to school and you find the car won't start. Do you smash up the car, yell at the kids and kick the dog? Or do you jump on the phone and ring your best friend's uncle's son, who you know is a mechanic and ask him to come and look at your car?

Since it's off pay week, do you tell him that you can't pay him today, so you can either owe him a favour or this Sunday, he is invited to Sunday dinner with you and your family (with the ends cut off the roast, of course).

Have you controlled the situation or has the situation controlled you?

When you decide to control the situation it's fabulous because you become responsible for your life. And it all starts with a thought.

Life is managed, it's not cured. Life is about how you handle the breakdowns that happen everyday. The break in the flow of your's and your family's life. It's my belief that the thoughts you hold play a big part in how you handle those breakdowns.

You can decide to sit and wallow in pity, thinking the world is against you, or you can get on and do what is in your power to fix, change, or ignore the situation or problem.

Yes some situations are out of your control, but how you think about those situations is not.

It may not be fair, or right, but it is my belief that wasted energy is just that, wasted.

You have the power to decide what you think about. Even those people in prison can choose to think free thoughts. They can choose to think that they are serving a higher good because they can be an example of how not to live your life. Perhaps they can see themselves as teachers. How wonderful would that be to think like that?

As I've said, I speak from experience. I have done things that I would like to be an example to others of how not to do something. I cannot change the past, but my family can learn from it, as can I.

The amazing thing about your thoughts is that you alone have the power to change them, every day, every minute, even every second. And as black women, we change our minds all the time, which is awesome.

I love the way I think. I think like no one else around. You have probably heard the saying 'to think outside the square'. Well I think so far outside of it, you could say I'm a different shape altogether, which I love, although I'm sure I drive my family insane sometimes because of it.

I also love how children think. I love how children also question everything.

So as I've gotten older, I've started to question things again. I don't take what someone tells me as the absolute truth anymore. I ask why. When someone says "they" reckon this or that, I usually ask 'Really, where did they get that information from?'

Does that sit with me? Do I agree or disagree or do I need more time to think about it, or do I even care enough to spend time thinking about what I think about it. It's completely up to me to decide. That's just wonderful.

I'm in the business of empowering women, that's what I was born to do. Everything I have been through in my life has gotten me to this point right here.

You may not agree with what I say, and that's ok, I don't mind. If one person out there reading this gets something useful from it, then it was worth it for me.

I am okay assisting one million women to believe in themselves, even it if is one woman at a time. If it reaches more than that, hey it's a bonus.

You may ask why I want to help empower women? I do so in taking nothing away from our black brothers, uncles and sons. There are many strong black men out there making changes. This is not about you. This is about our women.

I would like to see our strong women take their place at the table, at the head of the organisation, in the community, or more importantly to me, take their place in their family.

As I said at the start of this article, I come from a long line of strong women. Single mothers who decided to do what they had to for our family. Leading the way everyday to show us, their daughters, how it can be done when you decide to get up and do it.

So many of us women do this everyday without even realising how wonderful we are. How strong and powerful we are, how smart we are. I want to remind you of that. You must believe it for others to see it. There is no shame in being proud. It all starts with the thought. This is why I do what I do.

Every day is a new day. What will you do today to make your world a little brighter? I invite you to start by questioning why you do what you do.

I'm very excited about assisting you on your journey, should you decide to allow me the honour of sharing in it with you.

My Predictions, Hopes, Dreams and Inspiration For 2009 in NYC

By Carmen M Colon

Peace and safety for all, first and foremost.
That Billy Thompson, Jr. becomes Mayor and sends a message to all affluent and self-absorbed business people that politics should be handled by politicians and not bored billionaires thinking they are deities and almighty know-it-alls.
NOTE: Brilliant in business does not translate being brilliant in the education administration world.
In my opinion, Mr. Mayor, your arrogance and confidence in a limited and even more "arrogant MBA few" was and will always be your downfall. My dearly departed ex-cousin-in-law Ann used to say, "Hard head makes for a soft bottom..." I think of Ann and this saying of hers every time I hear your arrogant rants when it comes to education Mayor Bloomberg.

And how dare you say that parent representatives are simply looking for media attention??!! I promise you that if we had the media coverage that we needed to give our data out to the NYC parents as well as the businesses that "swear you walk on water", you WOULD have been voted out in spite of all your dirty buying-people-off money and regardless of some of the great things you actually had accomplished. WHY?? Simply because what you've done to this past generation of children will haunt this city for years to come and possibly more generations to follow. You failed them, you failed us and you failed this city in larger ways that any of your business acumen could have saved you from. We will forget you, you've no legacy here - so go away and let someone else do right by our children.
That more foster children get adopted and cared for! All orphaned children for that matter!
That the NYC Council members that voted FOR the turning over of the term limits ALL LOSE THEIR SEATS, even though I love and respect many of you for what you've done during your OFFICIAL TIME there in that position, you know in your hearts it was wrong. You can do just as much elsewhere.
(Anyway, you know you can find another job so don't act as if you'll be on the unemployment line anytime soon. Having had the position gives you a toe in the door where the rest of us can't get in...)
That all of the ASPCAs have a shortage of pets to give away because all of the foster and adopted kids all got one!
That the Board of the MTA are all fired, removed or found guilty of their other nefarious and heinous crimes against the people of New York.

CRAZY IDEA: Hire a Board from retired MTA WORKERS, pay them a salary that is in this stratosphere, and have the Public Advocate's Office oversee them, as well as the NYC Council.

That the President-elect's plans to invest in infrastructure really happens here and that our bridges and highways will actually look as if they will eventually be finished.
That Mayoral Control over NYC Public School is allowed to SUNSET! That the definition of parental involvement DOES NOT simply mean fund raising for the school and homework help at home.
That all of the truth about how our children have been fairing for seven years in Public School FINALLY comes out and proves that testing is a cruel and heinous way of proving that you are getting the job done and is really covering up arrogant incompetence and is ruining generations of future NYC residents and creating more unemployable people.
That the No Child Leave Behind Law is burned in the streets and re-written to mean what it says and actually give a damn (and give it a backbone with funding ok)
That Senior Citizens are overwhelmed with visits from loved ones who suddenly remembered where Grandma and Grandpa were living!
That slumlords are hunted down like the rabid animals they are by Dog the Bounty Hunter. LOL (sorry, had to say it!)

And my one prediction and hope of all hopes, (and yes this is very personal for me because I drempt of being a part of this since I was 12) that Norman Siegel Open in a new window

, the People's Advocate was accessible to everyone and would be able to teach everyone what they need to know and do so that they can be the best advocates they could be for themselves and their families!

AND yes, the only way I see that happening would be if everyone simply voted him for the office of Public Advocate Open in a new window

(DUH!)(Why I Idolize Norman Siegel: CLICK HERE Open in a new window

)We must remember that the NYC Public Advocate should not be affiliated with ANY political party except for the Party of the People! We should remember that our childrens' future will be in the hands of the next Mayor and New York City Council. Who better for them to work alongside, than the man who has spearheaded many actions necessary to keep corporations and rogue politicians honest? NORMAN SIEGEL Open in a new window

, THAT'S WHO!

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE: Currently the candidate for Mayor (or shall I say, my candidate for Mayor) and several NYC Council members ARE Norman Siegel's CLIENTS in the suit against Term Limits! If that is not a vote of confidence in his abilities and if he is NOT ALREADY DOING THE DARN JOB, then tell me what is!

No more soapbox! Happy Holidays from my family to yours. AND a many thanks to the Gotham Gazette Open in a new window

for caring about what I think, giving me a place to say it and making this blog submission happen!! A very special thank you to David Dadey Open in a new window

and Gail Robinson Open in a new window

, (who I had the pleasure of being on a panel with) you two make being a concerned citizen feel like such an honor and more important than everything else, you want others to join in and be a part of their own lives, decisions and futures!Gotham Gazette Open in a new window

is my favorite website for advocacy news and NYC news in general!

Happy Holidays everyone, from me and mine to you and yours!

This is BklynMom3, over and out and I believe in justice, love conquering almost everything, equality, fairness, impartiality, transparency, accountability, education as a human right for all, and most of all beating you at your own game with your own stick. Especially if you are looking for it by pushing around others and deserve it."

John Quincy Adams: If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader."

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:"It is precisely because education is the road to equality and citizenship, that it has been made more elusive for Negroes than many other rights. The walling off of Negroes from equal education is part of the histoical design to submerge him in second class status.
Therefore, as Negroes have struggled to be free they have had to fight for the opportunity for a decent education."

MEDIA ADVISORY - HOTEP IN THE BIG APPLE

By Carmen M Colon

CONTACT: CARMEN M COLON, PR Representative at 1-718-771-3836

New York, NY – October 24 through 26, 2008 - Hustle University Founder and President Hotep enters the fight! Agrees to donate proceeds from all product sales to campaign for Barack Obama!

Hotep says "I have been deeply touched and inspired by (Obama) and can no longer sit on the sidelines. I'm on the team. It's the fourth quarter, 4th and goal…and I'm gonna see to it that we score a touchdown!"

Hotep is a music and film industry professional who began and continues with a career in teaching young children. His inspirational books, DVDs and CDs, “Hustle While You Work”, “The Hustler’s Guide to the Entertainment Industry”, and “the Hustler’s Gospel” led him to create a curriculum for urban kids who felt displaced by the public school system. It is through his being a fifth grade teacher and his understanding of the lure of the entertainment industry that Hotep set out to matriculate as many young people as possible. His programs and curriculum can be found at http://hustleuniversity.org.

He will be here in NYC, this trip will be the Brooklyn, working alongside education advocates and hoping to forge bridges from his hometown in Atlanta all the way to the Big Apple. While he has been about “hustling” to succeed, he is dedicating this trip to Senator Obama and is looking to raise funds for his campaign. He is inviting the elected officials, the press and the Literary Community to come out in support of engaging our youth as well as putting as much of a spotlight as possible on the necessity of being involved in local politics.

He will appear for a Book Launching Party at the famous NY Perks on Friday, October 24, 2008 at 7PM, at Night of the Cookers on Saturday, October 25, 2008 at 1PM, at Brownstone Books in the heart of Bedford Stuyvesant at 5PM that Saturday. On Sunday, prior to his return to Atlanta he will make a final Book Signing and Photo Shoot stop at the Cacin Hall in Brooklyn. All are welcome to hear the motivational speaker and to see true activism in action.

OCT 24 @ 7PM -NY Perks: 193 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

OCT 25 @ 1PM -Night of the Cookers 767 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217

OCT 25 @ 5PM - Brownstone Books 409 Lewis Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

My Latest Article - How To begin Your Online Career

By Carmen M Colon

My apologies sistas and brothas!

"Get a book written and you'd think I'd fallen off the edge of a cliff!"
I know it's been a while since we connected between us but I did bring forth Universal SISTAS to let it sit in Cyberspace and gather ghosts. (hee hee, that's a geek joke)

Updates: Hmmm, let's see. I got the book out last year and immediately became a part of the African American Authors community. LOVE IT but it is so vast! I did the online interviews, was reviewed left and right (grateful for all of the comments, I took them all to heart!) and my hand is cramped from the book signing that I encourage people to snap a picture on their cellphone - it'll last longer!

Then the economy showed up in Bed Stuy and basically as been kicking my ass up until now! Day job got flaky, have been looking for a new one for six months, people and jobs getting twitchy and I'm counting pennies and foregoing lattes for instant at home. Now I know it's not hit everyone so I'm not looking for any pity parties but I acknowledge and respect my fellow communities and neighbors that understand why I say "hell yeah" to a block of good ole American cheese!

Anyway, all of that and three boys I have to raise kept me from this part of the work. Now, Ive put my networking in place, created and updated my four websites, was commissioned on several others, was in the street "Hustling for Obama" Open in a new window

Terri Patterson's Latest UCANSPEAKUP Triumph

By Carmen

Forget Paris Hilton and those other high society socialites!

Today's GHETTO Fabulous Socialites are part of the underground society of "doin' right by the kids!"

April 28, 2007 - NEW YORK, NY

Saturday April 28th 2-5pm at 300 New York Lanes, formerly AMF Chelsea Piers Lanes located at 23rd Street & West Side Highway, Pier 60, New York, NY. A Big shout out to Catrina Reid Open in a new window , Senior Sales Manager for making sure everyone, especially the children, felt like a VIP!

Chelsea Piers lanes were glowing in the dark that afternoon. Terri Patterson was throwing no ordinary celebrity bowl-a-thon and book signing.

Titled "Knock Down Pins for Child Abuse", with special celebrity guests including: Toccara Jones, of America's Next Top Model fame, Webstar & Young B, smash single "Chicken Noodle Soup", Boxer Zab "Super" Judah, as well as other entertainers, celebrities and athletes, the hope was to raise funds to assist in the mission of bringing the issue of child abuse out into the light.

The fabulous music was by DJ Kslay. It was covered by our very own Bob Lee Open in a new window of Power 105.1. A fabulous time was had by all!
