(GRCAM = All OF My Social Groups)

One of my acquaintances ask me why do I have so many social groups. I explain to her that the purpose of all my groups is for me to network with both my Christian friends and my Secular friends this is one reason why I am on social media.

I created the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement (GRCAM) because I was fed up with all of the division among Black People. Pan Africanism was not working for African Americans/Black Americans. I wanted to start a new movement I created my first group on November 10th 1991 on a site called Gopher. I wanted to help raise awareness about the genocide which is taking place within our inner cities in America starting in Chicago. I also wanted to connect with other like-minded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Canadians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Native Africans from around the globe.

After 15 years of being rejected, humiliated and ignored by established black organizations including the black church in Chicago. I decided to document my experience and publish my story (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition in hopes of attracting 30 Black Middle Class Professionals within the United States to join my management team in order to make my Black Christian Business effective and successful for years to come. Nehemiah was called by God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. He did not build that wall by himself he had a professional team people like Architects, Brick layers and Engineers.

Like wise, I want Black Middle-Class Professionals who have the following credentials: Investors, Business Partners, Christian Entrepreneurs, Social Entrepreneurs and Philanthropist. I am also looking for legitimate Film Producers, Actors, Stage Managers, Grant Writers/Fundraisers, Technical Directors, Marketers, Accountants, Business Administrators, Social Workers, Financial Planners, Lawyers, Real Estate Brokers and Insurance Agents. I have my articles of incorporation and my bylaws typed and available for my Nonprofit Cooperative. I also have my articles of organization typed and available for my For Profit Service Based Business. Yet to add insult to injury still to this day I don’t have anyone on my management team.

GRCAM is a 21st century Black Empowerment and Kingdom Building approach to solving black issues in America and throughout the Diaspora. I host free webinars through my online talkshow (Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos) as a way to interact with people on my friends list and in my social groups on a global scale. Now I am in the process of producing and directing my first film and I am giving all of my active group members an opportunity to be apart of this project. I am ready to take my groups to the next level The Big Screen and generate capital from my film/book to hire quality staff and purchase property in Chicago and other cities as well as in Africa. All of my social groups represents my future Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute which is based on my revised book (The Solution For Black America) second edition.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization into a real Black Christian Business is the lack of manpower and the capital this is why I turned to social media to get my message out to the public through my Youtube videos, my Social Groups, my Blog Postings, my online talkshow, my revised book and now through my upcoming urban Christian film (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). This is my last attempt to try to do something positive for my racial group in America.

The proceeds from my film will go towards me hiring Black Middle Class Professionals who will assist me and Sister Rena with the daily operation of my Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute. We will cover Austin, Garfield Park and North Lawndale on the Westside of Chicago and eventually expand to the Southside of Chicago investing and working to rebuild Black Wall Street. We also aim to expand abroad to ten African nations. We will offer a comprehensive array of services in the areas of health, housing, jobs and social justice and take the lead in city, state, and national policy leading to a more just global society.

It’s not my burden alone but rather a shared burden for I am just one black man with a vision and a plan, it takes a team to make a dream work. This is why I created my groups to help me spread my information with your friends & family. The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement is a global community of thinkers and builders I need your help to move GRCAM from behind a computer into our urban communities that need our talent and skills.

The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute will be membership based. Everyone will be screen, must attend our mandatory orientation and sign the community pledge no exceptions. No harden criminals, No active gang members, No urban terrorist, No pedofiles, and no half steppers allowed in my organization this is how I get down. This is my contribution back to my community, society and throughout the African Diaspora.

Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos is an extension of the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement. I host my online talkshow in order to interact with everyone on my friends list and everyone in my social groups to give business owners, church leaders and people that have special talents & skills to share their information with my listeners from the podcast community.

After the show I usually offer my guest speakers an incentive by sharing with them how to create their own podcast or create their own Youtube channel and earn revenue from it. I prefer that participants do a phone test first to see if their phone device is compatible with Facebook messenger as a voice call. If not then I recommend they create a free Google account or a free Skype account so that they can be on the show. The best day and times for me are Thursday evenings through Sunday evenings after 3:00PM Central Time.

Some of the tangibles or incentives I offer people on my friends list who interact with me are as follows: I assist people on my friends list and people in my social groups with creating basic websites, finding college scholarships/grants; housing; legal services all for free. I don’t ask for donations instead I encourage people on my friends list and people in my social groups to please support me by purchasing my revised book and read my story (The Solution For Black America) second edition. It’s available as an e-book for $9.99 and or as a soft cover book for $15.00 plus shipping and handling. My revised book is the foundation of my future Black Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute.
