(The Solution For Black America = GRCAI)
If only all of the protesters would use their energy towards working with me and Sister Rena in turning my ideas into a action then real social change would take effect in American society. Black People in America has been marching and protesting for 52 years begging the financial elites for jobs, equal protection under the law and healthcare. Yeshua has called me to move beyond the four walls of the church and make an impact in the Black Community and in the economy/market place. I call upon the Global Black Family to reach out to me on social media and be part of my film project.
The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute aims to become the beacon of hope for the Black community by establishing a national brand that stands for Financial Literacy and strength in the heart of the African-American community. GRCAI will provide innovative products and services. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute will treat all of our members with respect and dignity. We will employ and train high quality employees who are committed to our mission. We will maintain superior financial performance. Your business and your support are the keys to our success. It’s time for the Global Black Family to unite and start investing into our Black Community starting in Chicago. You are showing the world the power of our $1.2 trillion spending power. In due season we will expand our presence in 10 African nations.
I encourage all of my African friends who reside in South Africa, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Angola, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. To tell your family and friends who reside in America to read my story and come forth to work with me and Sister Rena in turning my ideas into action. I also encourage my international friends to put pressure on your governments to allow the Diaspora to have citizenship within 5 years if you are serious about us doing business on the African continent.
Over the Father’s Day weekend 100 people were shot in the Black Ghettos of Chicago. I care about those children who are being murdered and God called me to create a powerful Christian business to help invest in poor black communities in America and in Africa. The main issue is finding qualified Black Middle Class Professionals to join my management team. This was the main reason why I published my story (The Solution For Black America) second edition in hopes of recruiting brave and smart Black People to come forth. This is also why I created my social groups to connect with the Global Black Family to come forth and move from behind a computer I need smart boots on the ground in Chicago.
I am calling on all of my Christian friends who are on my friends list and those who are in my Christian groups to pray that God would connect me with legitimate Angel Investors and Sponsors who will invest $400,000 into our film project through the Query Letters that me and Sister Rena are sending out in Jesus name. Our films and stage plays will empower activists as they pursue narrative change concerning the black experience. We will tell the true stories. The goal of our film project is to elevate activist storytelling through funding short-term projects in film, theater, photography, fine art, music, poetry, literature, sculpture and dance. Our work will range from documentaries, podcasts and community outreach which highlight black stories.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement into a real Christian Business (GRCAI) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute 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 (The Solution For Black America) second edition 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 (African Americans/Black Americans) in the United States of America.
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. (GRCAM) 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.
