We understand you like free stuff but name one service you get that comes at no cost to you?
Even if it costs no money, it will cost your time or energy. Nothing is completely free and you will have to give up something. You can't get something for nothing.
Mentorship should cost because it requires someone's time and energy. Plus you are gaining access to an expert to help give you a shortcut to what they might have learned the hard way. To expect this type of good will for free may hinder you from finding a quality Mentor that can take you to that next level!
This month, which also happens to be Black Business Month, we are offering a free one hour consultation in children's book publishing. Our curated Mentor will meet with you and you both will determine if you are a good fit to move forward. If you would like to participate in such a meeting, simply fill out this Jotform below:

All responses need to be received on August 20th by 12 AM.
See you 🔜!

Charles Jackson French (September 25, 1919 – November 7, 1956) was a United States Navy sailor known for his heroic actions in the Pacific Theater of World War II, where he saved fifteen of his shipmates after their destroyer was sunk in combat.
French was an orphan from Foreman, Arkansas who learned to swim in the Red River at the age of eight.
First enlisting in the Navy in 1937, he completed his enlistment in 1941 and moved to Omaha, Nebraska where he lived with his older sister. With the attack on Pearl Harbor, French went to the closest recruitment office, and on December 19, 1941, re-enlisted in the Navy.
After French's ship, the Wickes-class destroyer USS Gregory (DD-82), was sunk by gunfire from Imperial Japanese Navy ships in the Solomon Islands on the morning of September 5, 1942, he swam six to eight hours in shark-infested waters near Guadal canal while towing a life raft with fifteen survivors aboard out of the range of Japanese gunfire and possible capture, which likely would have meant execution.
French was recommended for the Navy Cross, but instead received only a letter of commendation from Admiral William F. Halsey Jr. in May 1943. Admiral Halsey was then commander of the Southern Pacific Fleet. The commendation stated: For meritorious conduct in action while serving on board of a destroyer transport which was badly damaged during the engagement with Japanese forces in the British Solomon Islands on September 5, 1942. After the engagement, a group of about fifteen men was adrift on a raft, which was being deliberately shelled by Japanese naval forces. French tied a line to himself and swam for more than two hours without rest, thus attempting to tow the raft. His conduct was in keeping with the highest traditions of the Naval Service.
French was memorialized on War Gum trading cards and in a comic strip. The Chicago Defender named him Hero of the Year.
After the war, French married and had one daughter. Suffering from alcoholism likely caused by post-traumatic stress disorder, French died on November 11, 1956, at the age of 37, and was buried at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery in San Diego, California.
In 2022, French was posthumously awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for heroic actions not involving direct contact with an armed enemy. The award was presented on May 21, 2022, at Naval Base San Diego, at a ceremony in which the base's rescue swimmer training pool was dedicated in French's honor.
In June 2022, President Joe Biden signed into law H.R. 4168, to designate the United States Postal Service facility located at 6223 Maple Street, in Omaha, Nebraska, as the Petty Officer 1st Class Charles Jackson French Post Office.

The 102nd anniversary of the RBG Flag, aka the Black Liberation Flag, and the Pan Africanist Flag. Our Red, Black and Green banner of liberation was developed and created by the Most Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey on August 13, 1920. This glorious flag was formally adopted by Garvey's organization, the UNIA in Article 39 in The Declaration of the Rights of the Negro People of the World at Madison Square Garden, in NYC. The colors of the flag, Red, Black, and Green were designated specific meanings by Garvey. Red 🔴 : the color of the blood shed by our people for redemption and libertry. Black ⚫ : the color of our noble and distinguished people. Green 🟢 : the color of the lush vegetation and natural resources of the Motherland.
The RBG Flag is flown around the world by Black Garveyites and followers of Pan Africanism. Many African Nations today use the RBG colors in their National Flags. We honor our Great Ancestor, Marcus Garvey and his creation today; the RBG Flag of the Black Nation‼ 🇲🇼 🇱🇾 🇰🇳
