National Black Business Month - Dr. Veneda Polite Founder of Challenge LYFE and the LYFE Foundation8/26/2020  WHO ARE WE: C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E. L.Y.F.E. (CL) is a YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT CAREER EXPLORATION ORGANIZATION! Mentoring is a proven method of transferring knowledge and wisdom from one generation to the next. We at CL understand choosing a career is one of the most important decisions we will make in our lives. So it was a natural progression to marry the proven mentoring model with career research. Whether you're still in Junior High School or 29 years old and longing to change professions, our CL 10P Method of career exploration will make your vocation decision easier and faster. Understanding that most people spend countless hours on their jobs, it is only logical to expect that they like and hopefully love the work they do. However, a new Gallup poll revealed that 85% of people either hate their jobs or are looking for new employment. This is why CL was created; to help our Youth and Young Adults, especially those that are socially and economically challenged, explore and find a career that will fit them socially, emotionally, and economically! WHAT WE DO: CL Youth and Young Adult Career Builders provides the necessary career exploration opportunities for the next generation, ages 14-29, to become successful citizens. Using a dynamic, interactive Online Career Academy Platform, our mentees are able to explore multiple careers before they make a lifelong choice. This subscription based service provides 5 career exploration tools: 1) Our proven 10P Method of career exploration with over 70 professions to choose from; and growing 2) Dynamic Career VLOGS: Such as "How to Negotiate the Salary You Deserve." 3) LYFE Chats Live Webinars: Where mentees can get their career questions answered in real time. 4) CL Online Career Academy Companion Workbook 5) Access to our Exclusive Facebook Group OUR FOUNDER: CDR (Ret.) Rev., Dr. Veneda Polite has been a youth and young adult mentor for over 25 years. She has developed and led numerous programs to enhance the lives of our future leaders. Growing up in the projects of New York City and living in poverty the majority of her youth, Veneda knows first hand the detrimental effects of social, emotional, and economic underdevelopment. She left NYC and joined the U.S. Army in order to escape the cycle of becoming a product of her toxic environment. After changing careers multiple times throughout her life, without job fulfilment, Veneda finally found vocation exhilaration and C.H.A.L.L.E.N.G.E. L.Y.F.E. was born from the desire to never let our next generation fumble through their career choices. She believes Mentorship, Education, Knowledge and Wisdom are the Keys to a Successful LYFE!!

Welcome to The Goaled Mine. A space for women to come, and unapologetically be themselves. Throughout my life's journey, I have discovered the importance of creating the life that I want. For so long, I found myself trying to find myself, and then one day it dawned on me "I'm not lost, I just haven't figured out exactly who I am yet." It was in that moment that I figured out that life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating who you want to be, and the life you want to live. It's about being who you are, unapologetically. Part of who I want to be, is fabulous. When you look good, you feel good. It's a true statement for myself, and for most other women I've had the pleasure of meeting. The Goaled Mine is the place where you can come, create the look you want and rock it with confidence. We hope that you find all the treasure that you're looking for. Thank you for shopping with us. For any restock update questions, please keep checking back on our site and Instagram page as we receive new merchandise weekly. https://thegoaledmine.com/ For any return questions, please review our return policy, or email bryantbusiness2020@gmail.com.

I am a wife to an amazing, supportive, loving husband. I am a mom of 3 kids! Two handsome boys, and one beautiful girl (her name is Eden Grace). I am an outdoor natural light photographer. Specializing in Families, Couples, and Weddings. If you are wondering how I became a photographer. I started off taking pictures of my family and friends, just for fun. Then I became the service photographer at my church, that's when I learned that taking pictures was more then a passion for me, it is apart of my ministry. I booked my first wedding not to long after that, and from there I decided to start Eden Grace Photography, Dec of 2018. Eden Grace Photography is a Goodyear, AZ Photographer Specializing in families, couples, kids, and weddings! https://edengracephotos.com/ https://www.facebook.com/edengracephotos/ https://www.instagram.com/edengracephotos/   Today for Black Business Month, we feature David and Christi Lott. We are Realtors® in the Greater Phoenix Valley of Arizona and strive to help our clients grow their wealth through real estate. Owning your home is the greatest way to increase your net worth, and a lifetime of renting only grows the net worth of the landlord. We help buyers, sellers, and investors with all of their real estate needs, but we especially love helping first time home buyers! Since 2017 we have helped over 100 families buy and sell real estate. Most of our first time home buyer clients purchase homes that are well within their comfort range and often times obtain a mortgage payment that is very close to what they were paying in rent and sometimes less! The median family net worth for all homeowners is $231,400 and increased by nearly 15% since 2013, while the net worth of $5,000 actually declined by 9% since 2013 for renter families. Equity, appreciation, and predictable monthly housing expenses are huge financial benefits of homeownership. Homeownership is truly the best way to improve your long-term net worth and grow the wealth of your family and legacy. We especially love building Black homeownership and helping to increase the number of black homeowners in this country. "Black homeownership is in crisis. Although homeownership rates for other racial groups have largely recovered since the 2008 housing crisis, Black homeownership continues to decline, recently hitting an all-time low in the first quarter of this year. Homeownership is beneficial for building household wealth, increasing intergenerational economic mobility, offering a hedge against inflation, and increasing civic engagement, all of which make the ongoing decline in black homeownership deeply troubling." ~ Urban.org David and I pride ourselves in the care and expertise that we provide to our clients. We guide, advise, and educate our clients on the entire real estate purchase and sales process. We protect their interests by introducing them to trusted and proven home loan lenders, honest and knowledgeable home inspectors, roofers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians. The task of purchasing real estate may seem daunting and complicated but we provide a Buyer or Seller Guide to our clients. They are able to browse homes and communities on our website and read our informational blogs. We walk them through the process, we communicate constantly, we negotiate hard for them and we are by their side to the close of escrow and beyond! We are a husband and wife real estate team and a black-owned business who are experienced, caring, knowledgeable, and qualified!

I work with first-time homeowners and investors. More than helping people buy and sell houses, I love educating. Our community misses out on so much wealth because we are made to believe it is so difficult to buy and own a home. There is so much funding and so many people who are willing to help individuals through the process, and I want people to know that. Even if people decide to use another agent, I still want them to know what their options are in homeownership!
In addition to my real estate business, I also try to highlight one small business a week on my business page to help them gain more business.
