If you want something to get better, it has to grow.

I’ve been thinking about this idea, with respect to BBWO for awhile now. Many of us have been able to learn new things, make new connections and expand our businesses because of BBWO, but what we’ve been able to accomplish thus far is just the beginning.

Live Events, Business Development Opportunities, Financial Counseling, Jobs, Investment Capital … these are the things I am working towards adding to BBWO in the near future, which is why I’d like to get you involved with our new innovative project: Building BBWO: The First $5,000 Challenge.

As of July 2010, all new members are required to pay a one-time sign up fee. Beyond raising funds to further develop the network, my goal is also to give money back to you, the members of BBWO who make the network what it is today.

Since launching my Affiliate Program, I’ve been able to give a growing number of women a percentage of these funds for their efforts in sharing my resources with the women in their circle. Today I want to increase this kind of giving specifically within the BBWO Community.

If you become an affiliate and share BBWO with your friends, you will earn a commission for each person that signs up. Rather than simply ask you to support the network, my goal is to give you something in appreciation for your support.

The First $5,000 Challenge is twofold:

• In the midst of launching this project, my aim is to reach my first personal goal of giving back $5,000 to BBWO Members.
• For those members who understand the vision of BBWO and are interested in an opportunity to make some extra money I challenge you to create your own personal goal of earning $5,000 via this project.

The First $5,000 Challenge starts:
For me this challenge begins today and will hopefully continue until I reach the first goal. I am toying with the idea of pushing a 30 day challenge for those interested, but this really depends on the feedback that I receive from you.

Ultimately my goal is to continue to build BBWO, make it better, and give back to you in the process.

A long time ago, when I was alittle older than my son is today, my mother decided to enroll me a small Christian – Caribbean private school called St. John’s Elementary. Looking back, what I valued most about that experience was being grounded in a strong spiritual and cultural understanding of self that I keep with me to this day. With all crazy things happening in our world, keeping our children grounded in our faith and culture is no easy task, so when something or someone comes along in support of connecting our kids to Christianity it is worth talking about.

I was recently introduced to two Bibles designed specifically for African American Children and Teens and I would like to share them with you; My Holy Bible for African-American Children and Our Heritage and Faith Holy Bible for African-American Teens, both by Cheryl and Wade Hudson. When my 9 year old niece Brianna first saw the children’s bible her eyes lit up and she said, ‘I want one’. From the vibrate covers to every detail on every page, you can tell these Bibles were designed to make it easier for our children to feel connected to The Word of God as it is used in our day to day lives.

Browsing the pages I was immediately delighted to see all the illustrations and real life photos of African American children and teens. It is very important to me that my son see positive images he can relate to, so this was a major plus for me. The children’s bible is in large, easy to read print and it includes illustrations by African-American artists, popular Negro spirituals, Christian quotes, and information that ties scripture to a child’s life. The teen’s bible also includes questions that young people have about their lives and place them in the context of our Heritage and Faith.

As a parent, I hope that I can keep my son rooted in his faith and culture, just as my mother did for me and I’m thankful to find authors like Cheryl and Wade Hudson that can help us do just that. Click here to find these Bibles on Amazon.com.
