As we continue celebrating the new year, we are wondering can you pass the 2022 Awards and Recognition Ceremony Test? Every year, Urban Academics celebrates the highs and lows of the previous year and the accomplishments and contributions made to the platform or weekly roundtable.
We believe it necessary to de-brief and make decisions based on factual information and feedback from the membership. Urban Academics presents its annual stats and a list of Chosen Visionaries from 2022 below:
The Urban Academics Roundtable as of January, 2022:
Urban Academics sent out its first invitation for its first guided imagery dinner party on April 16, 2020. It was in direct response to and on the heels of the U.S. Department of Education’s decision to close public schools and waive educational requirements due to COVID-19 and the worldwide pandemic.
2022 Awards and Recognition
Now that Urban Academics is a toddler (16-months-old), we understand that we are off and walking, still holding onto the walls and sometimes needing balance. We are excited to report having had several pilot programs over the last year that have proven fruitful for those individuals and the table at large. The goal is to teach one, but that’s only possible when we can care about one another, give information – the good parts too, and share resources.
When we are filled with God’s blessings, it’s hard to keep the good stuff to yourself because you know if you do not share, it will eventually choke you. There is no competition because most folks will not do anything towards their goals or visions, only talk about them and sow discord regarding those busy doing/working their plan. I call it jealousy, but there might be another word for it.
Chosen Visionaries are rarely messy and not too nosey – We are too busy trying to figure out what’s next. We understand that the dispensation we find ourselves under has the book of revelation all over it. We live in a time where it is difficult to think of anyone other than ourselves. However, that position might make I difficult due to so many needs bigger than me or you. Once we reach the point where we believe none of this belongs to us and it (stuff) doesn’t matter anyway, we begin to walk through the door of grace.
The church talks about tithing (10%), and so does the bible! Who caught the fact that I separated the church and the bible? Of course, they do go together (church and the bible), but the two terms are not necessarily interchangeable. My charge is to give 10% wherever you see the need (CLOSE TO YOU). If you know a child in the winter with a jacket on, you know they need a coat – Please BUY the CHILD a COAT; That’s TRULY a gift to G.O.D. Because he (God) needs that child to be warm and feel love. Otherwise, you would NOT be the one who sees the need. Your church will be fine.
I know people who have plenty, yet tight as girdles. They would NEVER consider giving anyone anything outside of their immediate church or circle; They will not part with their money, wisdom, or anything else but appear to be blessed. Chosen Visionaries are blessed to be a blessing to the masses, and they know it. As the creator of Urban Academics, I cannot call you Chosen! You must agree to the knowledge of that fact, or not all on your own.
