Creative Juice And The Money. Edmond Bwak Comfort On Selling Skills In A New Economy

52,227 Replies

Whether it’s your first winning painting in your school’s art contest ($5 prize), or a genius science and technology kid-wizard, those with the “juice” are highly sought after and paid lots of money for their gifts and talents. Today, creativity is at an ALL time high, especially where technology is concerned. App developers are selling text in the billions every day – Building niche sites and when they get to a certain amount of subscribers and revenue, they sell on different marketplaces.

This week’s Chosen Visionary is no different – He has done work (big and small) for almost everyone, knows how to sell his God-given gifts & talents, and he’s not getting tired. Join the call Thursdays at 9:30 pm)EST), and don’t forget to tell your family, followers, and friends. This episode of the Weekly Roundtable is going to be good.

One thing is for sure, there is a contest for creative juice on every corner, and winners often set the stage for the most beautiful creations the human eyes have seen. Imagine the Black Panther movie starring the late Chadwick Boseman – That movie was incredible to the eye much faster than the location, plot, and theme. Do you have “Creative Juice?” If so, let us know in the comments section below. You could get a collaboration request from Urban Academics?

DIAL In: 605.472.5272 + Pin#: 836692

 

Who’s in the “HOT-Seat”

Chosen Visionary Number Thirty (30) is Edmund “BWak” Comfort, a New Haven native and President/CEO of B8Wak Productions for almost twenty years. He feels responsible for nurturing up-and-coming graphic designers and visual artists from all over New Haven, CT, and beyond. He uses visual arts techniques to express himself through Carpentry, Custom Airbrushing, Photography, and Set Design. Mr. Comfort’s impressive career includes Cornerstone Theater (Hollywood CA). He has created over 30 Sets at the Harlem School of the Arts (NYC), Long Wharf Theater (New Haven), Yale Repertory Theater (New Haven), and local events. BWak has some stage plays too that he has written, directed, and produced.

When you’ve got the “juice,” the creative kind, the fix for creativity is not without but rather within. There’s a big difference between the terms “corporate America” and “starving artists.” and for a good reason. They are exact opposites; no matter how intelligent one might be, the “juice” will eventually take over. Imagine the music industry without a young Michael Jackson, Prince, Usher, and many others, who started very young – They never had a choice. It chose them instead of the other way around. The same is true for athletes, entertainers, political figures, and the like – If you’ve got the “juice,” it’s NOT because of the money – You were born with it.

This Week’s Chosen Visionary

Born Dinah Orissa Milton in Folkston, Georgia, one of 13 children. She moved to New Haven, Connecticut, with her mother and siblings in 1977. Dinah attended New Haven Public Schools, graduating from Richard C. Lee High School in 1985. She was elected senior class president, graduated number seven in her class, and received numerous college scholarships. These accomplishments were significant in Dinah’s life because, while a sophomore in high school, at the tender age of 16, she gave birth to her daughter, Tashana. Some predicted Dinah would not finish high school, would not go to college, and that she and
her daughter would end up as welfare statistics.


Young but never ignorant of the power and purpose of a dream, Dinah pushed forward against the odds, striving to do her part to be a good mother, get off welfare and build a successful life for herself and Tashana. It was not easy for either of them, but they endured by the prayers and support of family, the Church, and others who gave words of encouragement and financial assistance.

Lady Dinah is a graduate of Southern Connecticut State University with a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies.

She was accepted into the part-time evening division program at the University of Connecticut School of Law, graduating in 2000. While attending law school, she juggled the responsibility of being a single parent, working full time, and serving as a Sunday School Teacher and youth leader in her Church, Mount Hope Temple United Holy Church of America (New Haven).

Longing to be a committed and genuine woman of God, at the age of 25, Dinah accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior, and then married the man of her dreams, Robert W. Kinney, Sr. In 2003, she answered the call into the ministry. Today, she serves as First Lady and an Associate Pastor of her Church.

In addition, The United States District Court currently employs her for the District of Connecticut as the Chief Deputy Clerk of Court. She has held numerous other distinguished positions, including Law Clerk to the Judges of the Seventh Judicial Circuit of Newport News, Virginia; Judicial Assistant to Magistrate Judge Donna F. Martinez; Administrative Services Manager of the 1995 Special Olympics World Games Organizing Committee; Assistant to the Chief of Staff to Governor Lowell P. Weicker, Jr.; and Executive Assistant to the United States Attorney of the District of Connecticut.

Elder Dinah has extraordinary compassion for young women, especially those considered at risk, and she thinks it a privilege to share her story with them. Above everything, Dinah considers it a privilege to proclaim the Good News that Jesus Saves! She claims this excellent message through community service, preaching, teaching, and the gift of playwriting.

So many questions, so little time. This week at Urban Academics, we are hosting a Reservation for the HOT-Seat as usual, but I’m sure we’ve never had this kind of conversation to date?

Grab a Seat: DIAL: 605.472.5272, Pin#: 836692 

This topic is timely due to covid wiping out the bank on almost everyone. Most of us, primarily black, brown, and poor folks, only know two things: (1) Work and have money in your pockets; and (2) Buy what you want with what’s left after your bills – In that order. I wouldn’t miss this LIVE event if I were you – Sometimes it gets so HOT we can’t stop.

This week, in the HOT-Seat, we are coming to a beginner’s class on money, presented from the HOT-Seat by a KING worthy of his crown, so pull up a seat and bring a BIG BIB to catch your crumbs. This one’s going to be good.

Three (3) Books You Should Read

Books are bubbles of niche-targeted content containing information and stories you find inside. Reading books can take you across the world, back in an hour, and in the meantime, experience unheard of hospitality and exquisite cuisine. No matter how they come to fruition (church outing, group-home, school field trip, etc.), these types of experiences have the power sometimes to change the trajectory of what you thought was forever if you allow it?


Words are those strings that turn what would be an ordinary sentence into something spectacular. When crafted just right, content (words) can kick-start your whole life all over again regardless of how you feel or what’s going on. You will begin to go on and on again, finding daily encouragement to keep it moving. If you are a writer, there is a place for you in heaven because there would be none without the ready writing holding the pen/pencil in today’s marketplace. Either way, the brain needs exercise too. Enjoy!

Meantime Money-Makers

Scholarships are generous. If you get enough of them, it keeps the student loans from piling up and contributes to your seeing more of your initial earnings, reduced due to loan payment starting only six-weeks after you graduate from college. That sucks – Why won’t politicians change that with their wins? Maybe because they don’t have student loans, only poor folks need loans for college. The problem is, getting scholarships is a process – Most don’t approve in 24-48 hours. If you need money NOW, scholarships, no matter how easy they are to get, don’t fund NOW! Therefore, I always try to share different ways you can make money in the meantime, while you’re still in school. Many of these opportunities are great! Take a look, give one or two a try, and then get back to me (Ms. Patrina), letting me know you’ve found success or if you have questions.

Quick Christmas Money Makers (2020):

  1. Affiliate Marketing is the fastest way to “see” money in the bank by recommending items to your family and friends for folks like Amazon, SmartPhone Apps, Walmart, etc.
  2. Be-A-Tutor-Mentor – Children everywhere are struggling which is NOT good for any home. Imagine you being the super-hero not only for the struggling student academically but also for their entire family.
  3. BUY STOCKS! Seriously, I’m sure you spend more money on nothing than it cost to buy stock in something you love and already use every day. There are several ways to get involved in Stock Trading, but it’s worth the learning curve and the money you will earn, save, and have on hand for your retirement.

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.

Special Ed Laws Should Offer More Media Opps – Andre Evans, B.E.A.N. T.V. On How To Overcome Learning Disabilities

740 Replies

The theory behind entertainment and media in this country was built upon capitalist propaganda, which is using mass media to exploit and promote capitalism through mass media (radio and TV) and also through education, where they can control what is taught to the majority of children (at home and school). In other words, a small group of people was able to control the entire narrative – A monopoly, but not anymore.

Read Andre Davis’ Press Release!

Back in the day, it was impossible for you and me to get a National Network TV slot on TV because the media buys were out of our league or inaccessible. Then comes along Amazon and YouTube leveling the playing field allowing anyone to press a few buttons and directly approach their target customer.

This week’s conversation is about IDEA special education, and how media can and must play a major role in re-shaping education. This week’s chosen visionary has experienced first hand what it was like to be labeled and identified as dumb or unlearned. Instead of wasting away, he “chose” the direction of multi-media through a community program where he learned all the skills need for FREE!

Because he overcame academic failure as a young person, the determined young adult returned to school and earned an MBA from Emerson College. Federal laws and the idea special education programs must include folks at the table who can speak the truth both about needs and what’s non-negotiatble. If the same people continue sitting around the tables that matter, what will a new outcome look like?

A Message From Ms. Patrina!

Thank you for visiting with me (Ms. Patrina) at Urban-Academics today. The fact that you have found me HERE means that you are worthy of the FREE Cash For College You Seek. Be BOLD, take CONFIDENCE, complete every step of the process, and submit ALL your scholarship applications. College can be FREE if that’s what you want?

If you’re back and living the on-campus life, shout out your name and college/university you attend or will once you graduate from high school with good grades, FAFSA forms completed (with all attachments), and lots of scholarship applications submitted. There is FREE Cash for College everywhere, and remember that I’m here to help – Ask your questions in the comments section below. Sometimes things can get confusing.

If you have questions or need any help, please ask in the comments section below. It’s my pleasure to assist – Make sure you visit again! Contact Ms. Patrina.

Scholarship Cont …

It’s a great opportunity and their investment alone (One Million Dollars) spread across ten (10) chosen students. The application is straightforward and pretty easy to follow. As always, if you have questions, please use the space below and I will get back to you.

This ($10,000.000) = Writing Three (3) Essays – $3,333 FREE Cash for Each!

The General G Gamer Scholarship is requesting three essays (500 word max) for each. All three are general and so not require much effort. However, I would recommend that you DO NOT use their portal to write your responses. Instead, use your own text writing software (MS Word or Pages for Apple) to create your documents, and then upload them when you are ready for launch.

Remember, every time you make updates they retain every original. Therefore, please edit, re-edit and send out for editing to find hidden mistakes (they are potentially everywhere).

Need Help With Essay Writing? Even if you think you don’t you probably do lol. What’s the harm in doing a little research to guarantee you stand OUT amongst the pack of hungry wolves. The General G Scholarship opportunity is looking for ten (10) extraordinary young people, those who are over-achievers on purpose. These kinds of opportunities are reserved for the “choen,” but that is an ego word and a relative term, so you do the math, or NOT!

General G Gamer Scholarship – Important Information

  • the General G Scholarship is accepting online (over the internet) applications
  • the General G Scholarship requires three essays, no more than 500 each – You can do it!
  • the General G Scholarship requires only one “proof of enrollment” document(s), which is a running PDF of all requested forms, i.e.: transcripts, a letter confirming dates of matriculating as a full-time student, proof that you have accepted an offer to a college or university in the fall. No excuses – get her done!
  • the General G Scholarship will accept your transcript via upload AND it does not count against any PDF you submit. Check it out here.
  • the General G Scholarship will allow you to upload an optional video – You should really do this. Why?

First of all, the video is optional, which obviously separates the do’s from the do not lol. You know what I mean – Take 5-minutes or 15 to create something unique and specific about you that will no doubt separate you from other applicants who will not go the extra mile. We need people who will do what it takes to get the job done, and in turn, the rewards are great. That may be old-school but it’s tried and true. Apply NOW.

Who Should Apply?

YOU! If you’re on a track towards game development, here’s your shot! General G Scholarship is awarding Ten Thousand US Dollars to successful students here. Not only that, but an opportunity like this one can change your life and that of your immediate family too. Give it a try, especially if you feel it in your gut? I believe in you – Now, go and believe in yourself.

How to Apply

Reunion at The Urban Academics Roundtable, Season II: White, Thomas, McFadden, ReddickPS, Gay, ReddickPM, Fagan, Moore, DavisA, Rutherford, and DavisM Inter-State Talk for Black, Brown, Poor, and Others Living The Inner-City Urban Experience

The Roundtable Season II is the completion of 24 consecutive Segments at the Urban Academics Roundtable, and without 12 (season I) + 12 (season II) we would not be able to celebrate the milestones associated with this wonderful content creation platform and each person in the HOT-Seat and around the table.

“We have been fed once again, and it was Ummm Ummm good. Now, go and share some of what you got from this table with others. Until next time”

Kaye Harvey, President & CEO, Alexis Hill Montesorri, Inc., and Roundtable Moderator

Why Reunion II is Crucial

What you may not have realized is Urban Academics is a content creation platform that will re-purpose every single roundtable discussion so that our people can get information the way they want it – Not the way we think.

The easiest way to create new fresh content – Different from the old, outdated, or re-constructed curations on the internet today. Our people not only get the news lately but sometimes it’s the wrong information from sources we have learned to appreciate instead of tolerating.

Crucial Reasons 1-7

  1. Urban Academics growing extremely fast (actual hits)
  2. Urban Academics Online has Authority
  3. Urban Academics Online is Indexed
  4. Urban Academics has consistently produced weekly content
  5. Urban Academics has strong backlinks
  6. Urban Academics subscribes to a collaborative philosophy
  7. Urban Academics Understands the POWER of Twelve

The easiest way to do it was the old-fashioned way of simply talking about everything – The good, bad, ugly, and downright nasty! That’s how you get it done with and out in the open, with others present, the family (village). During the last 24-weeks, you have played a major role in family conflict and discussions.

What’s really cool is the idea that has actually re-created the way content is created, but also how google LOVEs what we are doing here at Urban Academics – We are growing very fast as a platform, which means a few things:

Urban Academics Update (24-Weeks) + Two Reunion(s)

Urban Academics Online, the platform has been around for some time, but after expanding into the intellectual talk space it became obvious what to do with newly generated content. It was not, however, so easy to figure out how. We are rolling out a BETA on Urban Academics Membership Portal. Find out more about the once in a lifetime opportunity to partner with The Roundtable – For authors, entrepreneurs, and enterprise business and non-profits.

I’m techy by nature, I can read code and know old school HTML (the reason I can read code). But when it comes to marketing, someone else is in control and we must know what we are doing or we’re gonna get burned.

Because we are each in the spirit of collaboration, any content created here comes with unmeasurable power to change lives (around the world). Our hope is that world-wide content creators, including you, will lend their voice to these conversations. It’s no doubt a work in progress, but it’s time for next-level existence.

We now know for a fact how lucrative and valuable (worth lots of money) RAW, REAL, and RELEVANT content for black, brown, poor, and others living the inner-city urban experience can be. In no time flat, we’ve come up with a power-house plan for authors, entrepreneurs, and enterprising folks in business and innovation. Introducing Urban Academics Membership Portal.
