		<description><![CDATA[ By Staff Blogger A recent survey, done by MBA50.com, asked students, who were studying for a Master of Business Administrations Degree how happy they were during their course. The questions asked, by MBA50.com, of students at business schools in 11 countries around the world were, how happy they were before they began their MBA, during their MBA and how happy they expected to be after the completion of their MBA. The respondents were all either full-time, part-time, executive MBA or distance MBA students and the countries they came from included: France, Brazil, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, India, United Kingdom, China, Canada, Switzerland and the USA. Stephan Chambers, MBA Program Director at Oxford University’s Saïd Business School, said that we now know what makes us happy, from various researches done over the years, but the problem was the definition of happiness. Chambers went on to say that there are varying thoughts as to what happiness means to different people. Some people find money makes them happy, while others find happiness in doing good deeds for others and some, find happiness if they are popular with others. According to the results, the 1,108 participants of the study seem to find happiness within the MBA itself. The results showed that the level of happiness jumped significantly once the students had started their course. It also showed that the students expected to get happier as the course went on and even more happy when they had finished their MBA. The students were asked to rate their happiness on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 would be extremely unhappy and 10 would be extremely happy. The results showed that the participants were, on average, 5.98 points happy before beginning their MBA, 7.71 points happy during their MBA and 8.53 points happy after completing their MBA. But why are MBA students so happy? Isn’t an MBA supposed to be a difficult goal to pursue? Doesn’t it put the students under extreme pressure and workloads? And don’t they have to work long, long hours to achieve success? Professor Simon Evenett, Academic Director of the St. Gallen MBA in Switzerland said “For years before the invention of the MBA, people have found happiness in hard work and achievement.” Evenett went on to say that we should not be surprised that students find satisfaction and happiness in their MBA course because they are successfully achieving their goals.   ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ You thought slavery was dead?  Try again.  A new campaign by a fashion designer has people shrieking with disdain, since the designer seems determined to prove that slavery can be brought back into style.  Pakistani designer Aamna Aqeel is being criticized for a new campaign called “Be My Slave,” with a shoot showing a white woman being waited on by a dark-skinned child. The shoot is expected to appear in DIVA, a Pakistani fashion and lifestyle magazine. The images were placed on the designer’s Facebook page, leading fans to express their anger.    The images are described as being beyond tasteless, and it’s difficult to know what the designer was thinking.  Experts speculate that it may have been thought that the edginess and controversy of the shoot would reap more rewards than losses.   But while international attention has been placed on the publication, most fans do not find the ad to be appealing.  It also has branded both the designer and the fashion magazine to be racist.  They’ve both been asked to apologize.  The designer says that the appearance of the child happened just by chance.  Sorry, but that doesn’t make much sense right now.  She said that the boy “works in a garage and wanted some work.”  But maybe she could have let him do a job behind the scenes instead of humiliating himself in front of the camera. In her defense, Aqeel says she is involved with a children’s charity and used the images to bring awareness to the use of child labor around the world.   She also says that she wasn’t trying to build her brand with controversy and only meant to raise public awareness on this issue.  Do you buy it? Fans on her Facebook page don’t seem the least bit satisfied with what she said.         ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ President Barack Obama is hitting what could be considered to be the most challenged part of his presidency.  He has already been slammed in the media by three scandals:  One accusing his administration of spying on the Associated press, another involving a cover-up on the attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, and a third alleging IRS attacks on political enemies of the administration. The fourth scandal involves rampant s-xual assault within the ranks of the US military.   The president has used the words “shameful and disgraceful” to describe the assaults, stating that he would seek reform to the authority of commanding officers to overturn convictions.   The president is promising to  “explore every good idea that’s out there to fix this problem.” The scandal emerged when the Pentagon released a report stating that the number of s-xual assaults in the military rose an astonishing 129 percent since 2004.  This means that there were 26,000 members of the armed forces who were assaulted last year alone, and only 3,347 of these assaults were reported due to fear of retaliation. “The issue of s****l assault in our armed forces undermines that trust. So not only is it a crime, not only is it shameful and disgraceful, but it also is going to make and has made the military less effective than it can be,” the president said. “And as such, it is dangerous to our national security. So this is not a sideshow. This is not sort of a second-order problem that we’re experiencing. This goes to the heart and the core of who we are and how effective we’re going to be.” The president met with the Joint Chiefs of Staff to discuss the matter.  This meeting came against a report that a Fort Hood NCO was being investigated for both s-xual assault and the promotion of prostitution.   Even more embarrassing, the head of the Air Force s-xual assault-prevention office was arrested after he was accused of groping a woman. “I think he’s just responding to the political pressure,” said retired Col.  Morris Davis , a  Howard University  law professor who led the Air Force’s judiciary from 2007-08. “This has boiled up and reached the critical point.” These assaults have become a legitimate crisis for the US military and have led to millions of women being fearful of serving their country.   It also threatens to be the straw that breaks the camel’s back on the Obama Administration, which is already busy dealing with a list of problems.  Some are even calling for impeachment proceedings, but this idea appears to be far-fetched at the moment. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Actress, Zoe Saldana has taken a lot of heat this year for many choices that she has made. The media and fans alike were not too pleased with her being altered to play jazz singer and activist, Nina Simone in a biopic. Just recently the media rode the wave of her statement in Allure about possibly ending up with a woman. But on Wednesday the internet and media outlets were fuming over another issue with Allure. Under the gorgeous actress’s name appeared the words, “115 pounds of grit and heartache” and now people are starting to become concerned with Saldana’s weight. Is the actress, who says she does pilates, at least three to four times a week, too thin?   Maureen O’Conner ,of The Cut, weighed in on the controversy saying, “Since numerical representations of weight rarely grace the covers of women’s magazines, we conclude that this number must be special.” She adds, “Since 115 isn’t a large enough number to suggest defiance, we conclude that 115 is a number meant to represent an attractively tiny weight. Delicate and tiny, making her “grit” all the more charming.” But with young girls looking up to actresses like Saldana, was it appropriate for the magazine to put her weight on the cover? Many women within the industry have dealt with trying to live up to the Hollywood standard, by fighting hard to stay thin or fighting hard to get their weight down to a size 2, in order to compete. Putting the actress’s weight on the cover may do more harm than good to young women who feel that life means nothing if they can’t fit into the latest two piece swimsuit. Why was it so important to put Saldana’s weight on blast? Have men been subjected to the same scrutiny, when it comes to their image in Hollywood?   Saldana has yet to comment.

		<description><![CDATA[ Deborah Wright Carver Bancorp is the U.S.’s largest publicly traded African-American operated bank, with locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. The company’s CEO, Deborah Wright, sat down with OneWire.com , a career site for finance professionals, to discuss her life and how segregation played a role in her upbringing. Wright’s most commendable achievement at Carver Bancorp has been her ability to increase the stock prices from .45 cents/share to $3.50/share over the course of one year. Raised in Bennettsville, SC, Wright’s father volunteered she and her siblings to be the first African-American students to integrate the Bennettsville School District. “ When we were young kids – I think for me it was first or second grade when all of the big court decisions came down striking down ‘Separate But Equal.’ And so one Sunday morning, my father volunteered us to be one of the families that would be the first to integrate the Bennetsville elementary school system, ” she said. Wright earned an AB, JD, and an MBA from Harvard University. Upon graduation, she went on to pursue an an amazing career that has spanned both the private and public sectors. Wright began her career as an Associate at First Boston. From there, she joined the business advocacy group, New York City Partnership, and was soon named to the New York City Housing Authority Board by Mayor David N. Dinkins. She went on to serve in the Giuliani administration and then headed the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation in 1996. On banking then and now:  It really comes out of an era of segregation where middle class people — in fact, my first week here Ozzi Davis came to see me and he had accounts here and he said that when he and Ruby Dee were at the height of their popularity on Broadway they could not get a mortgage. And this was the only bank that gave them a mortgage. This was the only bank that gave them a mortgage, so he said he would be a loyal customer forever and he was and came back a few weeks later with his grandchildren all kind of in blue blazers and everything.  But that was then and now is now. Black folks can bank anywhere they want to. And because of CRA pressures and others, banks have branches here that they didn’t have historically. And they also got big wallets to just giveaway to — the larger institutions in our communities are non-profits. So this was a bank that was founded by preachers, so that used to be just our business — as well as the guys that are in D.C. and Philadelphia and Chicago, and that’s no longer the case. So, it’s been a really painful experience. This was really gratifying because you have the leaders of the financial industry sort of saying ‘We think there’s a place for you in this business’ and you ought to have a minute to kind of figure that out. Most of these guys not only put the money in, but they’re leaning in to help us on our business model. On what she’s looking for in a candidate: The mindset that it’s not about you. Whoever came up with that phrase, God bless them…You want the institution to look good; you want the institution to be successful while you’re being personally successful. And [you’ve] got to be all in it to get that result.     ]]></description>

<p>Carver Bancorp is the U.S.’s largest publicly traded African-American operated bank, with locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens. The company’s CEO, Deborah Wright, sat down with <a href="https://www.onewire.com/Videos/Deborah-Wright-Carver-Bancorp" target="_blank">OneWire.com</a>, a career site for finance professionals, to discuss her life and how segregation played a role in her upbringing. Wright’s most commendable achievement at Carver Bancorp has been her ability to increase the stock prices from .45 cents/share to $3.50/share over the course of one year.</p>
<p>Raised in Bennettsville, SC, Wright’s father volunteered she and her siblings to be the first African-American students to integrate the Bennettsville School District. “<em>When we were young kids – I think for me it was first or second grade when all of the big court decisions came down striking down ‘Separate But Equal.’ And so one Sunday morning, my father volunteered us to be one of the families that would be the first to integrate the Bennetsville elementary school system,</em>” she said.<img alt="" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/NaturallyMoi/~4/80Ao25zn8ZQ" width="1" height="1" /></p>

		<description><![CDATA[ A mother went through the fright of a lifetime this week after seeing the stroller holding her 14-month old daughter roll off the platform and flip upside down onto the railway tracks.   As she waited for the SEPTA train in West Philadelphia, a young mother had to think fast when her baby’s stroller rolled to the edge of the area she was standing and fall onto the tracks. Surveillance footage captured the entire incident and the mother was able to get down onto the tracks fast enough to save her baby.  Fortunately for the mother, the outer rail was not charged, which would have electrocuted the child on the spot. In the video, the child’s mother is seen jumping down to the tracks in a panic to save her child.  She lifted her baby up to a man who was standing nearby and climbed back up.  Other passengers reached out to SEPTA police in order to get additional help. “It’s heart-wrenching because you can anticipate it because the stroller does start to move at a very slow rate of speed and it kind of builds up. You want to tell someone to grab the stroller,” said SEPTA Safety Director Scott Sauer. SEPTA police were able to stop an incoming train at 60th Street. No other trains passed during the incident. “Our Market-Frankford Line is one of our busiest lines and our trains run quite often, every 6 to 10 minutes apart. In this case, the stroller went into the track area, fortunately when there were no trains running,” said Sauer. The baby only suffered a cut to the forehead, but is expected to recover, so the story does have a happy ending.   ]]></description>

<p>During her speech to the students at Bowie State University, first lady Michelle Obama gave a very clear message to the young people in attendance.  The message was one that says that focusing on education is the key to being successful in the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;Be an example of excellence to the next generation,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>Mrs. Obama said that even though millions of African Americans are now free to do as they choose, many of them are ignoring their educational opportunities, being carried away with what the media offers them.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, more than 150 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, more than 50 years after the end of &#8216;separate but equal,&#8217; when it comes to getting an education, too many of our young people just can’t be bothered,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, instead of walking miles every day to school, they’re sitting on couches for hours, playing video games, watching TV. Instead of dreaming of being a teacher or a lawyer or a business leader, they’re fantasizing about being a baller or a rapper,&#8221; Obama kept going. &#8220;Right now, one in three African American students are dropping out of high school, only one in five African Americans between the ages of 25 and 29 has gotten a college degree.&#8221;</p>
<p>The first lady also told graduates that they need to let go of the notion that getting an education is the same as acting white.</p>
<p>She said, “reject the slander that a black child with a book is trying to act white.&#8221;</p>
<p>Will people listen to the first lady&#8217;s message?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[ President Barack Obama has his supporters, who’ve remained somewhat steadfast in backing him.  But one major concern that has been coming from the left and the right are a series of civil liberties violations that appear to have occurred since the president came into office. The Obama White House has not been very transparent through the years, and is accused of violating freedom of the press by spying on members of the Associated Press.  He has also been accused of sending the IRS after opposing political groups in order to support his own agenda.  Even within the African American community, there are accusations that the Obama Administration would rather squash black dissent with black MSNBC television analysts than to confront some of the problems being faced by the black community. One damning allegation against the president has come from Congresswoman Maxine Waters.  Speaking on the air with Roland Martin, Waters says that President Obama’s administration has invaded the privacy of American citizens in ways that would only be imaginable in science fiction novels. “The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” said Representative Waters. “That’s going to be very, very powerful,” Waters said. “That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that. They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it. And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place.”  Maxine Waters is the U.S. Representative for California’s 43rd congressional district, and previously the 35th and 29th districts, serving since 1991. She is a member of the Democratic Party. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ by Dr. Boyce Watkins This week, a father-son duo are going to do something special and extraordinary:  They are going to graduate from Morehouse College together.   Dorian Joyner Sr. will march with his oldest son, Dorian Jr. fulfilling a promise he made to himself a very long time ago. Joyner Sr. started at Morehouse in 1984, but didn’t finish.   By the time he was able to return, his son was going to be a freshman.   His son was stunned when his dad told him what he was planning to do. “I said, ‘oh, you’re coming back to visit some of your friends?’” he remembered. “And [Dorian Senior] said ‘no, I’m coming back to be a student.’ I said – can you repeat that?” The father and son supported one another through their collegiate journey, studying together and achieving their family goals as a unit. “We used to have a support system. Sometimes he would come to my room to ask about a problem or a class or a professor to take,” he said.  The two Morehouse men are proud of their achievements and say that it has brought them closer together. “We’re Morehouse brothers,” the two said proudly. Dorian Senior is planning to go to law school to eventually become a judge.  His son is planning to travel abroad with the Peace Corps.  This inspirational story is the kind that should be shared far and wide.   This father-son relationship is reflective of the kinds of bonds that older black men must have with younger men, even if we are not related to one another.  Intergenerational messages of manhood, dignity, education, pride and self-respect are passed from one generation to the next, and currently, we are in the midst of a lost generation of black male manhood.  What I love the most about Dorian Sr.’s decision to go back to school is that he knew that it is never too late to be educated.  He also found this situation to be a wonderful opportunity for him to spend time with his son, teaching him the lessons that he will never learn in the classroom.  My guess is that because his son spent so much time with his dad, he is going to be a better man because of it, allowing him to be a natural leader for his family and his community.  That’s what manhood is all about. When I created the  “Building Outstanding Men and Boys ” family empowerment series, these small victories were exactly what I had in mind.  The last 40 years have undermined the collective economic and educational standing of the black male in America, and in too many cases, the messages being passed to the next generation are nothing short of self-destructive.  When we don’t teach the principles of manhood to men in the next generation, we are weakening our families and ultimately harming our community.  Such destructive cycles cannot be allowed to continue, for black men are meant to be assets to one another, and never liabilities. In order to send our ship in the right direction, we must highlight stories like this one which show the importance of older and younger black men working together, listening to one another, and joining forces in order to succeed in a highly competitive world.  This is one of the first and most important steps to allowing black men to reclaim our greatness.  I can’t express how proud I am of this family.
