I want to introduce Bernard Creamer. Mr. Creamer is an Educator of 25 years, Community Activist, Author, and Owner of status KNO apparel.Mr. Creamer studied & graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a former school administrator and History teacher, he always stressed the importance of teaching Black children their History, culture, and ancestry to empower them. Through the teaching of History, he seeks to ensure that the information our young receive connects them to our ancestors, along with their values and accomplishments. The aim is for Black children to be inspired by the incredible achievements of people who look just like them. Bernard Creamer’s first two published books, the ‘I AM’ collection, represents the griot tradition of passing down our stories to our children and making sure they know and embrace the greatness that preceded them to map a path forward. His third published book, “Who Stole the Soul? The Weaponization of Hip Hop,” deals with the cooption, corporatization, and corruption of hip hop, per capitalism, along with the associated societal influences that have toxified the hip hop genre, hip hop meeting the same fate as other Black artistic creations of the past.Additionally, Bernard is a member of the Clear the Airways Project along with Kwabena Rasuli. Clear the Airwaves raises awareness around negative messages promoted through mainstream media, especially mainstream hip hop. Clear the Airwaves also mounts campaigns to boycott the large corporations that sponsor advertising on the urban radio stations that target Black communities, specifically Black children, with negative propaganda. In line with his community work, Bernard’s apparel line Status Kno platforms and promotes Black History, Black ancestry, and Black culture through its t-shirt and hoodie designs. Additionally, the status KNO brand seeks to help uplift, inspire and empower Black people through the pointed images and messages embedded into the clothing.

Guest:Dr. Stepheny Finnie Dr. Finnie Care, LLC Phone: 804-715-1486 Company Page: drfcare.com FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/drfcare76 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drfinniecareDr. Stepheny Finnie is a Believer, Wife, Mother, and an HBCU Graduate, and she has been a Civil Servant for the Federal Government for 17-years.  She also supported her Husband as he transitioned from service in the Navy to a Federal Government career. Her foundation is grounded in her faith, family, desire to support Veterans, and determination to see Women live happy healthy lives. These traits have resulted in the establishment of Dr. Finnie Care, LLC., to educate on the harmful ingredients in many over-the-counter sanitary products and provide safe options.    Ms. Finnie completed her undergraduate work at Langston University, where she majored in Business Administration. She was also Miss Langston University from 1997-1998. Mrs. Finnie further her education by earning her Master’s Degree in Human Resource Administration from East Central University in 2000. In 2009, Dr. Stepheny Finnie earned a Doctorate of Philosophy in General Business from Capella University and returned in 2012 to earn a Graduate-Level Certificate in Diversity Studies.     Cicely TysonBefore we begin tonight's show with my guest Dr. Stepheny Finnie, I wanted to acknowledge the passing of the fantastic and always gracious Cicely Tyson.Cicely Tyson was an actress and fashion model. In a career spanning more than seven decades, she became known for her portrayal of strong African-American women. Throughout her career, Tyson refused to play drug addicts, prostitutes, or maids, roles she thought demeaning to Black women. But when a good part came along, she grabbed hold of it with tenacity.Refusing to participate in the blaxploitation movies that became popular in the late ’60s, she waited until 1972 to return to the screen in the drama “Sounder,” which captured several Oscar nominations, including one for Tyson as best actress.Tyson made history when she became the first African American to win an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress for 1974’s TV film The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman. Despite her achievements onstage and in films, much of the actress’s best work was done for television. In addition to “Miss Jane Pittman,” she did an outstanding job in “Roots,” “The Wilma Rudolph Story,” “King: The Martin Luther King Story,” “When No One Would Listen,” “A Woman Called Moses.” Recent film appearances include Alex Cross, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and The Help.The legendary actress promoting her long-awaited memoir, “Just As I Am,” when she passed away on Jan. 28, is now a No. 1 bestselling author.Want to be a Guest, Sponsor, or be featured in the magazine?
