Business Plan
I am currently only selling books at this time. Having the funding will mean that I can purchase the overhead items to expand my businesses products to toothpaste and the clothing line. The hiring of employees on a part time basis to fulfill orders, and the arrangement of a 'Think Tank' for Research and Development of new and potentially revolutionary product lines is Paramount to my company staying at the forefront of its kind. My ideas are completely revolutionary and I will be the only company that I am aware of selling this type of specialized clothing line. I am a dedicated father of two Intelligent, and beautiful, baby girls--Yahné Estelle Parker & Silvia Renaé Parker. I am doing this for them--their future well-being and continued prosperity. I have plans to make this a 'Mom & Pop'/Family run business to teach them early on the value of hard work, dedication, and the overall value of a dollar earned. I also plan to give them equal-shared ownership when I retire. I deeply care about my African American Family, as well as that of the Diaspora. I come from a long line of teachers, and in fact I was a teacher in Baltimore City & County Public Schools. I have a deep commitment to the lives of my people and have always strived to Educate the youth, as well as my peers, as to the deep significance of African based people and our contributions to society; Most of which has been but a mere fairy tale in the minds of my people. My clothing line will reallocate the cultural similarities, and raise awareness of the beauty and contributions of African based peoples across the diaspora. Last but not least is my commitment to my faith in Christ. As stated earlier, this is a Christ-centered business. My business was launched out of the idea to self-publish my Christian Testimonial. When it comes to my faith and my drive to see this book sell, I believe I have more than the average persons dedication to this craft because Saving & Redirecting lives is something that I would do for free, and often do. Furthermore, it is this passion for Humanity that gives me great esteem and drive. Its like being a parent; I want my child (humanity in this case) not to have to go through some of the pitfalls ie mistakes that I've made in my life. I often say, "If only there were someone who would have told me then, what I know now." When it comes to Salvation & my People, I'm 100% in. I would walk the burning sands for both, faithfully, and with full confidence. I am also college-educated, am preparing to attend a Pre-Law Program at UMGC, and have formerly been a Mechanical Engineer for the Department of Defense. I'm ready for this!

Self Identified Competition
I do not know of any competitors. I am an inventor as well and my ideas are completely new and revolutionary. I am Christ-centered. I am also attempting to heal the Black diaspora through love, awareness, creativity through fashion--which my people tend to gravitate too. The top power players in my company (myself and my consultant) together have a combined IQ of well over 500.
