We invited him to reflect on his experience with the organization here. He plans to continue writing for North News in the coming months. Growing up on Chicago’s Eastside, I was exposed to a lot. As a child, I witnessed drug abuse, crime and violence, prostitution and gang activity. I grew up in a broken home. My father and mother were separated for as long as I could remember. With five siblings living under one roof, it was very difficult for my mother to support all of us. She depended on the state for support. And as tough as it was for my mother, she always remained strong, and so did we. Unfortunately, she passed away in 2006 from drug and health-related issues. After that tragic situation, I began to turn to the streets where I felt loved. At that point in my life, I was a part of the many problems in the Black community. I started committing crimes at the age of 15: theft of property and motor vehicles, underage consumption, and drug possession. This type of behavior went on for years because I didn’t know how to handle the amount of trauma, depression, pain, hurt and neglect I experienced. I was dealing with my personal issues in the wrong way. It was only when I was ready to make a change, and open my heart to outside support that Lisa Clemons, president of A Mother’s Love, presented me with an opportunity that could change my life: doing outreach work on the Northside with A Mother’s Love. That’s where I am today—engaging with the people in the North Minneapolis community has shown me how little love the people receive. I know with love, care, concern, and outside support, they would be able to see the same potential within themselves that I now see in me. I plan on continuing my journey as a community activist and outreach worker for as long as my time on earth is allotted. https://mynorthnews.org/stories/26th-ave-overlook monthly 0.5 2019-06-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f9337893fc0263969bf43/1561582282738-7XMR77X0YR8FGJ1WZUD2/IMG_0525.JPG Stories - In 2020, an overlook will arrive on the North Minneapolis riverfront A new nest-like overlook will rest above the Mississippi River, allowing for a beautiful and immersive view where 26th Ave. N dead ends with the river.

She joined BWWA’s Wealth Academy after seeing an ad on Facebook. Through the academy, Taquisha says she has been introduced to a surplus of resources; including her financial adviser she and her husband have continued to meet with regularly. “A lot of time in the black community, we don’t have that generational wealth. We don’t have any generational wealth to pass on to our children and our children’s children. That’s the cycle we need to break,” she said. She says McKnight has created an incredible platform specifically for black women in Minnesota. “Many times we don’t get the same resources that exist in some of the bigger cities like Atlanta and Chicago. [Kenya] heard the cry and did something about it.” Jallah joined the academy hoping to make connections with other black businesswomen. The experience far exceeded her expectations. “I wasn’t expecting nearly 100 black women from different walks of life in Minnesota to come together in love and unity, but that was exactly what happened. There was no confusion, no strife, no hating. People think that when black women come together that there will be problems, but to my delight there wasn’t. We supported each other and rooted to see each other excel," she said. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f9337893fc0263969bf43/1548874814356-N4WL8MJ2TULUQJSK6TDC/Jamiela.jpeg Stories - Neighbors: Kenya McKnight is helping black women cultivate generational wealth Jamiela Taylor is an athletic coach, educator and mentor on the Northside who currently works at TRI-Construction. As a co-tenant in the same building with BWWA Headquarters, “Coach Jam” sparked a conversation with McKnight. The impact was immediate and within 48 hours, Taylor was attending one of BWWA’s home ownership classes. Upon completion of the class, the Coach Jam joined the Wealth Academy. “Women are caretakers; sometimes we get lost due to multitasking and day-to-day responsibilities,” she said. Financial acumen is “a matter of survival.” Generational wealth and long-term planning are concepts that BWWA teaches. Taylor is also instilling that concept to her daughter and other community youth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f9337893fc0263969bf43/1548874855284-P5887G6YR4W6KZH4LYG0/Tope004.jpg Stories - Neighbors: Kenya McKnight is helping black women cultivate generational wealth Topé Daniel is an entrepreneur who runs a home healthcare company and is launching an entertainment and production company called IMURTAL. She participated in the BWWA’s Wealth Academy in 2018. She says she had grown increasingly frustrated by being seen as “doing too much” in her push for people to listen, to see, and to address the disparities in generational wealth and how the black community was being left behind. BWWA created an atmosphere where Daniel was able to comfortably grow more into her own power, while being surrounded by other ambitious and supportive black women. She says being around women who shared her professional motivation and were “aware of the need for financial education, health and wellness,” through BWWA was validating. She says that, coupled with the educational resources and tools that BWWA provided them access to, was "priceless." Daniel gained key insight into ways to successfully grow her current company and carry out her newest business venture. She is now better equipped to pass along valuable knowledge. “Information is so key to success and building wealth. When we don’t have that, we suffer,” she said. https://mynorthnews.org/stories/lost-without-them monthly 0.5 2019-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/581f9337893fc0263969bf43/1548874136339-8MRRSOBA29HWAIO5AAX0/IMG_0756.jpg Stories - Lost without them: students report on the presence of smartphones in their lives Students often play games and talk to their friends during class.

All of them are like brothers to me, but one of them is actually my blood brother. He actually plays for the seventh grade Minnesota Pressure team, but he plays up with the high school team.

He sees me not being in the streets or hanging with the wrong crowd, and he does the same thing. My mom motivates both of us to the fullest in every sport that we play. She is at every one of our games; she makes sure that we eat healthy food, and she makes sure we stay in shape. She also comes to our practices. She makes sure our grades are ok. She tells us that if our grades aren't where she wants them to be that we don't be playing.

I took this picture because I want to have it for memories if anything happens to her, or she can use it if anything happens to me. My mom and I have a good relationship with each other. My mom support me in basketball because she know how you gotta work for what you want. Nothing is going to be handed to you, so she supports me by making sure I'm working on my game - both on the court and in school. She wants me to become something in life.
