  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

YOU ARE SO POWERFUL I COULD CRY.

I have not read UNDERCOVERSMART but I do follow your Articles here in the community and agree with them all so far. May you continue to keep putting the word out until a larger number of our people get it. THANK YOU ENOCH MUBARAK!

Dear Enoch Mubarak
I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on Undercover Smart. I must say that it is a very interesting and inspiring read. What I like about the book is how you encourage us (and by us I mean Blacks) as well as inform us on how to take initiative in finding our place in professional society. To those who haven't read it, you're missing out on finding as well understanding the hidden secrets to black success.

Bro. Enoch, I proudly wear The Black Star of Courage Pin. I was
recently conducting a workshop in Stillwater, OK for the Big 12
Conference on Black Student Government and used it as an example of
how leadership is recognized and that they should aspire to do
something with their lives for their people; with their education.

DEAR ENOCH MUBARAK
Tiffany sent you this message from The Chicago Black
Professionals Social Network on Meetup.com:

I really agree with your posting. The Black woman owes the
Black man a loving not a living. As a professional black
woman. I can truly say that I love black men, but I have run
into brothas that want me to be their momma. I have my own son
to raise and I'm instilling in him values and letting him know
how to treat women in general with respect.

I am single now and it is a very real problem to find black men who are
responsible, mature, intellectual, trustworthy and honest. I
get so disappointed when I speak with brothers who are so
shallow and can't hold an intelligent conversation about what's
happening with the economy, politics, and around the world. I
can only be impressed so much by being told that I'm fine, but
I also need my mind to be stimulated.

I hope that you mentor our brothers, because we black women love them
so much and we don't want to cross over. I think the black man is the sexiest
man on earth. I just wish I could find one that would be a
solid rock of intelligence, stability, and love. Keep up the good work


Bro. Enoch, I did read undercover smart. Very powerful. Do you do speaking engagements?
Self empowerment is something that should not be feared, but sought out.

When you say speaking engagements I suspect you are asking me do I make public appearances? No, I do not make public appearances because every and any thing I have to say I put it in a book and to speak publicly would defeat the book's premise of being Undercover Smart.

Writing blogs, articles and posting comments over the Internet qualifies under the catagory of public speaking albeit the speaker is sight unseen. I am at this moment publicly speaking to you with the exception that I am speaking to you sight unseen.

Unlike those before me that would speak to you via press conferences, seminars, Loudspeakers,sound bites and grandstanding I speak to you silently via writing and.sight unseen.

If I have made a mistake in getting my message out it is because I put the message in a book.

Brother Williams and all others when you are defending you right to exist in the 21st century it is paramount that you move quietly, quickly, and sight unseen. True power remains in the backgound and real bad boys roll in silence.
