Here’s an idea that isn’t new, but sometimes seems to slip through the cracks: after-school and weekend programs for our youth. Some families can afford extracurricular activities, and others can’t. Regardless of their family’s finances, every child deserves to feel included and part of something bigger than themselves. If you don’t see an affordable program in your community, consider what it would take to help create...]]></description><link>https://www.ivynicolemedia.com/post/every-child-deserves-a-place-to-belong-giving-back-through-youth-programs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6af70ab1ef2beb29d779dce3</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Nov 2026 13:05:29 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/376a86_7e771fb4278b49869ca842ea173a7c91~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Ivy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our Culture, Our Creativity, Our Ownership: Building Black-Owned Fashion Businesses]]></title><description><![CDATA[Black culture has influenced fashion, music, beauty, and so much more around the world. Our creativity travels far beyond our communities. But how much of the wealth it generates comes back to the people who create it? Is it time to be more intentional about where we shop? Instead of supporting brands that borrow from our creativity without meaningful recognition or investment in our communities, what would happen if we directed more of that support toward Black-owned businesses? I want to...]]></description><link>https://www.ivynicolemedia.com/post/our-culture-our-creativity-our-ownership-building-black-owned-fashion-businesses</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6af018612e5ecb275f1275bb</guid><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 06:38:01 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/376a86_39c4f910d5ba46af82c047a36711ef9a~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Ivy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Not Build Our Own? A Professional Sports League Fully Owned by People of Color.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Black athletes and other athletes of color bring extraordinary talent to professional sports. We help fill stadiums, sell merchandise, and draw audiences. For generations, our talent has helped build enormous wealth. What could happen if we also fully owned the leagues and teams where that talent performs? I remember watching Broke, the ESPN documentary about athletes who experienced financial hardship after making millions. It made me think about what happens when a playing career ends while...]]></description><link>https://www.ivynicolemedia.com/post/why-not-build-our-own-a-professional-sports-league-fully-owned-by-people-of-color</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6af0128ac2ee3e3a7f2dcf38</guid><pubDate>Sun, 08 Nov 2026 06:18:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/376a86_cd70d0bca10a49549124a799f41f7666~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_941,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Ivy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Our Neighbors We All Win]]></title><description><![CDATA[Supporting our communities can take many forms. Sometimes it means paying someone for their work. Other times, when money is tight, it means exchanging something we have for something we need. That’s where the barter system can help. Neighbors can exchange goods, skills, and services by agreeing on something that benefits them both. Someone might offer sewing in exchange for photography, or help with a website in exchange for preparing meals. Both people’s time and contributions have value. I...]]></description><link>https://www.ivynicolemedia.com/post/when-we-win-we-all-win</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aef159cb1d034bcdf06d067</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:15:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/376a86_e3cb47fc221648cc82e9b972f9d5dd56~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Ivy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let Your Fashion Speak]]></title><description><![CDATA[In my opinion, the ’90s were one of the best eras for fashion. I loved the personality, creativity, and individuality people brought to what they wore. Today, it can feel like having an hourglass figure—and showing it off—gets more attention than what a woman thinks, creates, or contributes. There’s nothing wrong with having curves or enjoying your body. But no single body shape should define beauty or a woman’s worth. So many women deserve recognition for how they lead, teach, build...]]></description><link>https://www.ivynicolemedia.com/post/let-your-fashion-speak</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aef0f07b1d034bcdf06c625</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2026 11:46:56 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/376a86_d0e8f2d16b9e4c6b92225759d2423cb2~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Ivy</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Building Stronger Communities: Learning from Our Past]]></title><description><![CDATA[History can teach us so much about moving forward. With everything happening today, it’s easy to focus on what’s right in front of us. Those concerns matter. But looking back at how our ancestors built, organized, and sustained their communities can help us imagine what we can build today. How did they support their families? Share knowledge? Create opportunities? What helped them stay connected through difficult times? Life has shaped each of us differently. Many of us are focused on getting...]]></description><link>https://www.ivynicolemedia.com/post/building-stronger-communities-learning-from-our-past</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6aeee97bb1d034bcdf0685de</guid><pubDate>Sat, 07 Nov 2026 09:15:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/376a86_1a26939af91d403c9525532071494e26~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Nicole Ivy</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
