Damon John

  You sai ChatGPT sai The Rise of Daymond John: Hustler or Learner Long before Daymond John sat across entrepreneurs in the “Shark Tank” boardroom, he was just a kid from Queens, New York, with a relentless drive and a mother who believed in him. Growing up in the Hollis neighborhood, Daymond didn't have much—at least not in the way of money. But he had hustle. In high school, he worked as a waiter at Red Lobster and sold everything from pencils to ski hats on the street. What he lacked in resources, he made up for in creativity. In the early 1990s, hip-hop fashion was booming, and Daymond saw an opportunity. One day, he noticed that a wool ski hat that sold in stores for $20 could be made at home for a fraction of the price. He went to his mother, and together, they sewed about 90 hats. He sold them on the streets for $10 each—and made $800 in a single day. That was the spark. Daymond founded  FUBU —short for "For Us, By Us"—a clothing line meant to serve the underserve...

Movie Night or Movie Fight, you decide another movie review

  Review of 'The Killing Cove Plot Summary:   The film follows two sisters who seek revenge after a traumatic event at a college party, only to uncover a much darker force at play. As the tension rises, the film delivers an unexpected twist that keeps viewers engaged. Strengths:   - The plot is fresh and unpredictable, with a unique take on revenge and psychological horror.   - The twist is well-executed, adding intrigue and surprises.   Weaknesses: - Several logical inconsistencies make certain moments feel frustrating—like why no one checked the victim’s blood sample after the drinking incident.   - Suicide portrayal doesn’t align with real-world cases, which diminishes the emotional impact.   - The characters trope identity were out of touch and lacked credibility.   - The romance struggled to respond appropriately to the situations, as romance still delivered interest it lacked real emotional depth; reactions...

What is the main focus for creating a good movie

  Science professor takes his two daughters to live with him after mothers' They start school at the school their father works at. Sara is more like her mother, likes to party, outgoing, and sociable.  Chris, her younger sister appears to be the direct opposite. A genius offspring........ The movie was an interesting plot, creative twist, bad acting. The creators overdid caricature in a whole. The plot was forsaken. They left the twist to itself. The storytelling is more important, but you need the actual actors to respond appropriately to the story and the situations as it developed. That's realism, you go with it you don't float away from it. The main course, It was interesting even the main structure. So, some stars I'll give it.  The romance didn't add up. It developed too quickly and of course this amorous tension detached from the emotion of the events. Romance can be submerged around pain and still you pacify the two with good chemistry. This romance was play...

Sarah Rector just one of the many lost stories of Black Wealth in the 1900's

Here's a small story to keep you going for the day. The dusty plains of Glenpool, Oklahoma, stretched endlessly under the summer sun, their dry soil offering little promise. For 12-year-old Sarah Rector, the land her family owned was a quiet burden. It was a plot of 160 acres, given to her as part of the Dawes Allotment Act. The soil was hard, unsuited for farming, and the taxes on the land loomed over her family like a shadow. Sarah’s parents, Tom and Rose, did what they could. They leased the land to the Standard Oil Company, hoping it might bring some relief. But no one expected what happened next. One cold February morning in 1913, an oilman named B.B. Jones struck a well on Sarah’s land. A geyser of oil erupted from the earth, and within days, the barren plot turned into one of Oklahoma’s richest oil fields. The news spread quickly: Sarah Rector, a young Black girl, was earning $300 a day—a fortune in 1913 and the equivalent of over $7,000 today. As barrels of oil flowed, so d...

A baby's request for more breast, please

As natural as gold, it is the life of the party when it comes to a healthy bodily soul. That's why babies love it so much; they know they should. As you may notice no one teaches them to suck as in their innocent heads they obey the law of their nature. Mothers are not very steady in adjusting, and babies are like I got this for you, Mama. So? ## Why Consider Breastfeeding? Breastfeeding offers multiple advantages: - Your milk naturally contains all the nutrients your baby needs - Protects your baby with antibodies against illnesses and infections - Provides health benefits for mothers - Is always ready at the perfect temperature - Creates opportunities for skin-to-skin bonding Unlike formula, breast milk actively shields your baby from disease while offering health advantages for you as well. The life of a child (as also adults, they grow into) revolves around decisions, improvising, results, and consequences, including the decision to breastfeed. While there can be drawbacks due ...
