This shift demands more than just a change in title. It requires a complete mindset overhaul. A CEO doesn’t just dream—they execute. They make decisions rooted in data, prioritize financial sustainability, and sometimes, yes, sacrifice short-term comfort for long-term gains. It’s a role that calls for resilience and a willingness to face hard truths head-on.

Picture this: a brilliant artist, brush in hand, crafting a masterpiece. The colors are bold, the strokes deliberate. But what if that same artist was asked

‘Tis the perfect season for us to start to take a revolutionary approach to improving our health outcomes through honest conversations. I understand that in our community, we tend to shy away from these conversations because we “don’t want everyone in our business.” The kicker: they will be in your business anyway if you’re in the ER!

It doesn’t matter if you’re gathering with grandparents or feasting with friends, we can always count on having some very interesting conversations during the

Senator Patterson was a luminary—not just in Columbia or our local community but throughout South Carolina. His leadership, humor, and grace made him a giant among us, a man who embodied what it meant to be a servant leader. He wasn’t afraid to speak truth to power or stand up for his community and what he believed in. His passing reminds us of the great responsibility we carry to honor his legacy—not just with words but with action.

On behalf of the Minority INFO Network, we extend our deepest condolences to Senator Patterson’s family, his friends, and all who admired and were touched by

A pearl’s creation begins with an irritant—an unwelcome grain of sand that an oyster covers with layers of nacre, transforming the irritant into a thing of beauty. This natural process serves as a metaphor for life. Each of us faces irritants: grief, anxiety, struggles with mental health, or any number of challenges. Yet, through resilience and care, we emerge stronger, our inner light shining brighter.

Every December 15th, National Wear Your Pearls Day offers a poignant reminder that life’s challenges can lead to resilience, purpose, and beauty. Founded by

Our Santa shows up in the Black father working three jobs so his kids can have Christmas morning smiles. He’s in the teachers staying after school to make sure their students see a future filled with possibilities. He’s in the neighbor who slips a little extra cash to help someone struggling to make ends meet. Santa is the embodiment of Black joy, ingenuity, and community. I want you to know that Santa isn’t about the presents under the tree. He’s about the audacity to believe in something bigger than ourselves.

As the holiday season wraps its warm, twinkling lights around us, I find myself reflecting on what this time of year means—not just the gifts or the magic of

It should also be recognized that the aim of white supremacy is to perpetually maintain and control the power structures for the ruling oligarchs, as these will always be those who initially held power and their descendants, having established a governmental system that guarantees their continued dominance.

It was only when I attended college and later law school that I started to understand the nuanced difference between racism and white supremacy. While they

Let’s be clear: identity politics isn’t the problem—it’s the solution. Recognizing and addressing the unique experiences of different groups is how we create a fairer, more just society. It ensures that everyone—regardless of race, gender, or background—has a voice in shaping our future. But Trump and the far-right have outmaneuvered Democrats by turning the conversation on its head, making identity a dirty word.

In 2024, Donald Trump achieved something remarkable: he turned identity politics into a weapon. By reframing the conversation about inclusion as a divisive

Govan’s return is a powerful reminder of what’s at risk if gerrymandering continues unchecked. Black voters, in particular, face barriers that require vigilance, activism, and reform to dismantle. President Joe Biden called the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold South Carolina’s maps “a blow to the basic principle that voting practices should not discriminate on account of race.”

In the Times and Democrat, a small headline—“Orangeburg's Govan 'humbled' by return to House”—tells a story with profound national implications. Jerry Govan’s

In life, second chances are rare. For most of us, mistakes can haunt us indefinitely, with doors closed before we even get a chance to knock on them. The opportunity to start fresh, to rewrite our story, is a privilege many never receive. So, when a second chance is offered, it isn’t just an opportunity—it’s a lifeline, a moment heavy with the weight of what could be.

*** Behind the Lens *** We often know local business owners, we're familiar with what they do—but how often do we truly understand why they do it? In a world where we're constantly bombarded with promotions, it's easy to forget that the "why" behind someone's work is what really matters. Too many people chase trends, mimic others for the sake of likes and followers, and lose sight of authenticity. That's why, at The Minority Times, our first question is always, "Tell me your why." We believe that originality and purpose set the trailblazers apart, and it's our mission to introduce you to those individuals in our community who are making a real impact. Whether their contributions are big or small, they deserve to be honored and recognized in a way that's true to their journey. Through our multimedia platform, we aim to shine a light on these groundbreaking figures—people you might not read about in mainstream media but who are undeniably making waves in their fields. Because, in the end, their work isn't just something they do; it's a reflection of who they are. And that’s the story The Minority Times is here to tell. If you missed our inaugural edition, visit http://minoritytimesmultimag.com to read about other outstanding individuals making an impact.

No Reparations, No Peace: The Black Empowerment Hour

On this episode of The Black Empowerment Hour, Dr. Johnnie Cordero addresses "America's Great Debt," rooted in its original sin and at the core of economic inequality – Reparations. The crucial shift is not whether descendants of former slaves should be compensated for the years of forced labor that built America's wealth, but rather how much compensation is just. Dr. Cordero outlines the imperative to confront the individuals standing in the way of African Americans receiving fair compensation for the unpaid wages of their enslaved ancestors. The Black Empowerment Hour with Dr. Johnnie Cordero – a powerful podcast dedicated to enlightening and empowering the Black community. In this transformative hour, Dr. Cordero fearlessly confronts challenges, acknowledging no opponent is too formidable. The Black Empowerment Hour airs new episodes every Sunday at 8:18 EST on https://minorityvocieradio.com

Our Story

We were conceived on the premise that there are hundreds of positive people, ideas, and happenings in communities of color throughout the country that mainstream media does not have the manpower or the desire to cover, we fill this news void and give voice to these stories. Our founding Philosophy is based on this famous quote from Samuel E. Cornish, one of the founding editors of the Freedom’s Journal; the first Black-owned and operated newspaper in the United States. “We wish to plead our own cause. Too long others have spoken for us. Too long has the public been deceived by misrepresentations, in things which concern us dearly.”
