Give to Your Community in Little Ways that Add UP

Let's not run away from problems in our community. Do you try to make your community a better place? You don't have to be an activist luminary like Martin Luther King, Jr., or Malcolm X to make a contribution in your own humble way. And it can make a BIG difference.

I enjoy living in a community with other bruthas and sistahs in NYC. I like helping build more viable businesses using digital technology. Ironically, I cleaned up a whole block of a business strip street today near one of my clients for free - just to enhance the neighborhood.


I occasionally break up a fight with young bruthas and look out for neighbors. I help shovel the neighbors next to me in snow storms. Small things do matter.

I feel we have to extend ourselves to make our communities better. I lived in the suburbs but like living in our community better with people who are progressive. BTW while I was cleaning up the business strip, I was telling you about, one of the business owners came out to thank me and help me.

We got into a nice conversation and I got a chance to tell him about my digital marketing services primarily using search engine technology. He may become a client.

I sowed positive karma and reaped positive results. The way I look at it a strong business presence in out communities will help people shop here more and also property values will increase and economic development will go up. Is it just me that looks at upgrading our communities this way?
