ATLANTA - Two #Atlanta entrepreneurs have teamed up for a good cause for #ClarkAtlanta University students. #PinkyCole, owner of one of the most popular vegan restaurants in Atlanta, and #StaceyLee, owner of #HarlemHopsBrewery, in #NewYork decided to do a great deed that will help take the stress off dozens of students at Clark Atlanta. "I picked up the phone and called Pinky," Lee said. "I said, 'Pinky, we need to pay off the balances of some graduating seniors. We have been blessed, both of us graduated from #ClarkAtlantaUniversity.'" Lee says she was inspired by entrepreneur Robert Smith after he paid the balances of the entire 2019 #graduating class of #Morehouse #College. Most schools won't allow you to walk across the stage to get your degree if you have an outstanding balance. Cole says when she received the phone call to help there was no hesitation. "It was a no-brainer to me because it was good to know that we had the resources to help people out in their time of need," she said. Together, the ladies paid the balances of 30 students at Clark Atlanta, randomly selecting seniors at the university who had an outstanding balance which would prevent them from walking across the stage. It was a huge surprise for the students. Senior Christal King says the news was like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. "I just felt like, they don't know me, so for them to pay off me and some of my peers... It was just so awesome and such a blessing," King said. Cole believes giving back is the true definition of success and she has a challenge for entrepreneurs. "I am charging every single #entrepreneur to pay it forward. Service is the rent that we pay to ourselves," she said. "This is how we cultivate more leaders and #entrepreneurs." https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/business-owners-pay-outstanding-balances-of-clark-atlanta-students.amp https://www.instagram.com/p/CF65_MoDPOe/?igshid=i14mmdfltw1g

Entrepreneur Aisha “Pinky” Cole—owner of Atlanta-based vegan business Slutty Vegan—partnered with HBCU Clark Atlanta University in a joint effort to send the four children of Rayshard Brooks to college when they are ready. On June 12, 27-year-old Brooks was shot and killed by police officers after they found him sleeping in a car at a Wendy’s parking lot. Officer Garrett Rolfe—who shot Brooks—was fired and charged with felony murder and 10 other offenses while officer Devin Brosnan was charged with aggravated assault. #sluttyvegan #rayshardbrooks #pinkycole #kindness #kidscollege #awesome (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CByRNLEDzdApdaStjG_zZVWOhaFun4naw1eVbU0/?igshid=1347tc1861c23

Written by: Kirstein C. @CallMeDr.C _____________________________________ This year’s #EssenceFestival came bearing gifts of change. Renamed as The #EssenceFestivalOfCulture and rightfully so, it can be seen as another catapult towards change, of a good kind. With the revamp, the festival celebrated its 25th anniversary in New Orleans, Louisiana earlier this month. For over 2 decades, Essence has been able to unite Black people of all ages and cultivated an environment where thought-provoking conversations could happen, beauty secrets and know-how’s can be exchanged, and of course, food and entertainment are enjoyed amongst all attendees. _____________________________________ As #veganism continues to gain momentum and popularity, Black women are once again, the face of change. It was only fitting that Owner of Atlanta’s #SluttyVegan, #PinkyCole (@Pinky907) make her first Essence Music Festival appearance, as they celebrate this milestone year. Ms. Cole is changing the way Black people look at veganism, even more so how we view food and the role it carries in helping us live our best lives. A common misconception is that “vegan food isn’t tasty”, that it’s “too bland” or that you have to sacrifice the enjoyment of food altogether. The gag is, IT IS good, it doesn’t have to be bland, AND you don’t have to sacrifice an ounce of enjoyment. It’s a win-win. _____________________________________ Sitting with #JasmineGrant of #Essence, Ms. Cole went on to say: “We don’t know where these animals came from or how they were killed or the state of mind they were in. Food is energy, and anything you put in your body will reflect on the outside—good or bad. Once you understand your body is your temple, you’ll take better care of it” (Essence, July 2019). _____________________________________ Whether you take the leap and go vegan “cold turkey” or dabble in vegan delights on occasion, there’s no doubt, it’s worth giving a try, whatever your reason may be. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0FHxdFJizO/?igshid=1sjja9shppfoc
