Expert Covid-19 Survivor at the Urban Academics Roundtable

Where Is The Best EXPERT COVID-19 SURVIVOR?

Where Is The Best EXPERT COVID-19 SURVIVOR? Obviously, at the Urban Academics Roundtable in the coveted HOT-Seat! If you’ve not been through it, there’s little you can contribute – Unless you can add to it (the story), roll with and stay clear about your focus and goal. In this case, this “praying wife” was determined to win – Her husband and her life back, in Jesus’ Name, Amen!

The past year has been crazy, but some of us are just grateful to have made it to the other side of the living. The government shut Businesses and schools down – the very structure of American life ripped apart without anyone’s permission. Who’s the boss? Who can argue with God? Certainly not me; Or no one I knew personally.

“As of May 27, 2021, nearly 133 million people in the U.S. are fully vaccinated, and the national percentage of COVID-19 tests that came back positive over the last 7 days was less than 3%. This is one of the lowest rates the United States has seen since widespread testing began.”

Up Next In The HOT-Seat

Before March of 2020, Marcy and her husband Theirrien “Tee” Clark were your typical suburban Maryland fun-loving, empty-nester couple, living their lives to the fullest. Then, in the blink of an eye, life as they knew it drastically changed. In March 2020, COVID-19 struck their household, forcing them to endure the ultimate test of faith, marriage, finances, and the ultimate test of life itself! Both spouses contracted COVID-19.

Tee spent 46-days isolated, for the most part, from his wife and family as Johns Hopkins Hospital’s worst COVID-19 case then. With 28 of those 46-days in a medically induced coma, Tee’s health was failing from a physical and medical standpoint. Marcy used her faith, prayers, skills, and talents to help her husband navigate one of the most challenging times in modern life.

To Get on this call – Thursday’s at 9:30 PM (EST).

When we talk about Viral Marketing, it’s the process of getting the word out about a product, service, or both to the masses. I believe if your campaign generates over 1 million impressions, it’s considered to have gone “Viral.”

Some Viral Videos, however, don’t benefit the creator, either because they are not regularly publishing videos to YouTube or Vimeo, so how would they know how to monetize. The second way is when someone posts a random video they just captured in the car. She uploads and boom – The video of a cat laying next to a dog playing nicely gets 2 million views – When that happens, Ellen’s Show will call

How To Make Us Better – Developing Collaborative Partnerships Built With Multi-State A-List

296 Replies

Dr. Ed Joyner has had a lifetime of academic experience, but it wasn’t always easy. He’s the Number Four Chosen Visionary in the HOT-Seat at Urban Academics. His willingness to share his story with such truth has made us all better. Many of our members refer to some of his one-liners often. Some call those “sound-bites,” and they make us better too!

For example, there’s no need to build a platform for one person or type of person – A table should be openly honest and where you can say what you have to. Anyone listening will give you what’s needed to get and keep the chest area clean and clear. Here at the Urban Academics Roundtable, we honor any opinions knowing that some people have salt, others use an herb you’ve never considered but a match nonetheless. We challenge you to listen to this incredible story, and if you move to change, we’ve done well, but there’s more—Check out BETA Membership AT Urban Academics.

The Philiosophy of Collaboration

According to most at the lowest level, collaboration is to share in contributing to a project or work – Something tangible is the outcome. It’s the thought of equal participation by people; animals don’t count and shared results amongst contributors.

Sometimes this concept, easy as it appears, had underlying cons as well as pros. An example of a con/scam would be one or more individuals demanding an equal reward for minimal to no effort to proposed outcomes, thereby causing everyone else to pick up the slack. It leaves a bad taste in some mouths while others could care less. If you’re not careful here – split right down the middle.

Collaboratives of all colors, shapes, and sizes exist for many things with a much broader philosophy. Membership is a better term than a partnership, and I will go over the differences in another post, as for this talk and how we can utilize others’ strengths to accomplish more than we could alone. BETA Membership at Urban Academics provides an opportunity for authors, entrepreneurs, speakers, or others to get their message out to the world. Collaborative content creation is a new way to create fresh content regardless of if folks are prolific thinkers and writers.

The best information or transfer thereof has been because there was more than one thought at the table. The Urban Academics Roundtable is the perfect platform and vehicle for constant Raw, Real, and Relevant Topical Content on Auto-Pilot. Not only that, but featuring real-life black, brown, and other to-notch HOT-Seat Chosen Visionaries from around the country and ultimately around the world. GO TO BETA MEMBERSHIP NOW.

The Multi-State A

Urban Academics desires to get everything right, but we know based on experience, things sometimes go wrong. With the BETA Membership programs, we want to partner with folks who wish for their products and services to rise up and above the packs, and we want the same. With BETA Membership, we provide you with services at a fraction of their original costs – In return for genuine and honest feedback. We will determine what works and what does NOT quickly make it better for black and brown folks who sometimes won’t read everything getting themselves into trouble.

So that you know, a “C” is failing in the inner-city urban schools. We know you cannot compete, and few if anyone has the time to step in for students, but Urban Academics wants to change that too! With the launch of Speaker’s Bureau at Urban Academics, we’ll be matching BETA Members through Speaker’s Bureau to speaking opportunities where decision-makers in academia are likely to be. GO TO BETS MEMBERSHIP NOW to learn more about this exciting opportunity.

Does any of the children in your family attend a Montessori School? Many of our black and brown parents report having never heard of Montessori schools, but they have been around for years. What is now known as Montessori Education was established by a woman named Maria Montessori, whose idea was to create an environment embracing the holistic approach to each child, fostering lifelong explorative and self-paced learning.

The thing is, the Montessori learning/teaching style is nothing new – ALL of the thousands of the children I’ve worked with over the years were born with that philosophy built right in. The problem presents itself when a child does not conform to the request of the parent, teacher, or both; Punishment is likely to happen before the unsuspecting adult has time to help little Sally or Johnny process the why and what will make the attitude or tantrum go away. Almost 100% of the time, children will tell you what happened if they don’t know how they felt about what happened and why.

In my personal experience, there were no Montessori schools in my neighborhood. Still, I can imagine many parents, teachers, and others have been embracing similar teaching styles without adding Lady Maria Montessori’s name to the mix. But, I digress. The desired outcome is to raise conscious and good productive citizens in the world with something to offer someone else. It doesn’t always work out that way, but this Chosen Visionary in the HOT-Seat has made it her life’s work to develop young people worldwide. She shares her story of overcoming barriers to being one of the first black folks to open a Montessori school in Connecticut and the only one in both the Hill and Fair Haven sections of New Haven.

How To Turn Your MOTIVATION From Zero To Hero

383 Replies

Motivating is the most powerful piece to your drive; without it, you have none (drive). Merely thinking about the people you want to meet, places you want to go, and the things you want to do won’t happen if an action or some kind of movement is not taken. Almost every young person I work with has a dream, something they really want; However, few have a plan or vision for how they will attain it.

In my work at PIMOSH, which is an acronym for People Involved in Motivating Our Students Higher. So, you know how many motivating means to me – It’s our middle name.

What You Didn’t Realize About Limb Differences is Powerful – But Extremely Simple.

310 Replies

The loss of anything can be quite painful, and depending on how meaningful the absence of the loss is, it will determine how you can cope or not so much. Many therapeutic-related books and programs have been written around topics associated with the idea of death, dying. And the overall concept of loss and how to recover from it. These books and manuscripts touch on the basics around different kinds of losses and how you should determine to get past it (loss) and move on. But what about a limb? Limbs are a little bit different from losing a car in an accident or a job you never liked in the first place. Even the strongest of a parent is fearful of certain words associated with their children.


We all have differences, some seen while others are not as obvious. But limb differences are noticeable, almost like skin color, except you can hide the fact of missing limbs with prosthetics and new technology so advanced that no one would ever know that you or a family member is an amputee. Today’s medical advances are fantastic and mind-blowing at the same time. The hard part is accepting the diagnosis and setting your heart and mind for the journey ahead. The specific and easy part is continuing to shine your loving light on your beautiful child, assuring him or her that you will be there every step of the way, as you are around for this very purpose.

Read “HOT-Seat” Press Release On Paige Thomas-Minor

Paisley, a 3-year-old little girl, was born with a rare medical condition only found in 1 and 1 million births. This condition affected her lower limbs, and she is clinically diagnosed with the most severe form of Tibial Hemimelia. Paisley’s lower legs and feet were amputated in 2019 to maximize her quality of life and ability to run, jump, and play. Some folks opt for only partial amputations, and in some cases, that may make more sense as you discuss options with your primary care doctor or chosen specialist. If you’ve got questions, get on the call, getting them addressed now. You are welcome here, and the table is all set.

Paisley and her medical condition has had and continues to have a significant impact on Paige’s outlook on life and work-life-home balance. It (a rare illness) has also opened new doors for presentations and speaking opportunities for the veteran marine corps officer. Paige is now an advocate for limb differences awareness and promotes events, fundraisers, and education through her family’s journey as an amputee family.

Sexual abuse is just the tip of the ice-burg, and it’s time the conversation is brought to the table open for discussion. Children all over the world are abused and misused – Even the very institutions designed and developed to cure/fix/stop these problems are guilty of the same.

For some reason, pedophilia will always be with us as is the beggars, liar, robber, and thief. But what happens to the child with unresolved issues? Where does the wounded return when feelings of old creep up reminding a victim to feel like the perpetrator?

Pierre Reddick’s Press Release

In the Hot-Seat This Week …

This week we are pulling out the “HOT-Seat” for Mr. Pierre M Reddick, whose hometown is New Haven. CT, but he only went to school there for one year – His freshman year of high school. Before that, it was a small private day school in Branford, CT, where he and his sister were no doubt the minority, but fitting in nicely.

The long ride out to Branford every day seemed daunting for many people back in New Haven, and even fewer could understand why anyone would pay for school when it’s free, and you’re not rich?

For Pierre, it was the normal course of activity, and his creativity, love of life, the outdoors, and his ability to see the world through a broader lense is because he has never felt trapped – Not in the ways of education. After leaving New Haven Public Schools, he matriculated and graduated from Fort Mill, High School, graduated from Claflin University, attended Point Part University

Pierre Reddick is Co-Founder (PIMOSH Network), and Music Director for Crunch Bunch Kids. Pierre has also been quite successful in merging roles of educator and entrepreneur. The Urban Academics “HOT-Seat” because he can deliver hacks, tips, and tricks for inner-city urban students that will help parents, providers, and teachers tremendously.

“Being a teacher does not mean we want to replace parents. We would much rather partner with parents, but at the same time I’ve played the role of father to almost 400 scholars at any given moment.”

Pierre M Reddick

Notable Accomplishments

Pierre has been involved in the education field for five (5) years, and has served families in several capacities, including but not limited to the following:

New to the RoundTable?

The Urban Academics Roundtable provides a discussion on a variety of topics.  It’s intellectual talk around black, brown, and poor folks issues.  There’s the coveted “HOT-Seat,” which is pulled out for people of all walks of life having something worthy to share/teach.  These conversations are necessary and RAW, often too “HOT” to stop.

Lady Clairesa Clay (Brooklyn Born) takes intellectual talk on black, brown, and poor folks storytelling, and how they tell our stories. She’s a creative entrepreneur ready to accept a seat a the Urban Academics RoundTable.

Clairesa Clay (BLERD CITY’s Founder and Executive Producer) is an educator, entrepreneur, and writer who has developed cultural programs in films, visual arts, and literature serving in conjunction with academic and artistic organizations as well as many independent artists with whom she’s had the pleasure of working with.  

Blerd City’s vision came out of Lady Clairessa’s vision for combining education with the arts that are stimulating and captivate both sides of the brain. Black Nerds (BLERDs) are probably the most underutilized group in the country and abroad. The conference, which is normally held in July will be postponed due to the current NO Events happening around the world. When new dates and venues are announced, whether face-to-face or virtual, you can find it here at Urban Academics Online!
