NASHVILLE, Tenn. (PRWEB) September 29, 2020
Entrepreneur and respected communicator JoAnn Scaife has launched the intriguing new weekly podcast, "Black History Matters 365," in conjunction with being named spokesperson for Black History 365 Education (BH365), a new educational organization focused on documenting the history of Black persons, groups, and cultures in North America. Recent guests on the podcast have included authors Joel A. Freeman, Ph.D., and Dr. Walter Milton, Jr. ("Black History 365: An Inclusive Account of American History"), Chris Sanders (NFL player and former Tennessee Titan wide receiver), Dr. Susan West (Vice President and Chief of Staff at Belmont University), and Dr. Bernard LaFayette, Jr. (Civil Rights Movement activist and Freedom Rider).
“I am thrilled to be the host of the exciting new podcast, "Black History Matters 365," which is part of Black History 365 Education, a Black-owned and operated faith-based company that has created a revolutionary educational curriculum to display the inclusiveness of African American History," said Scaife. “In addition to hosting the podcast, I am honored to serve as Black History 365 Education's Spokesperson and Liaison Entrepreneur for the faith-based market. This is truly a God-sent mission for me.”
In her position as BH365 spokesperson, Scaife will help communicate the message of the organization and its new U.S. history textbook, "Black History 365: An Inclusive Account of American History," by Joel A. Freeman, Ph.D., and Dr. Walter Milton, Jr.
Both the podcast and the new textbook are generating strong support from educators and influential community leaders.
"JoAnn's podcast is unique because of the compelling questions she asks, along with her ability to unearth the creative ways to fill in the education gap in our public schools, community-based organizations and also in the faith based community,” said Joel A. Freeman, Ph.D. (CEO, The Freeman Institute® and co-author, "Black History 365").
“I believe in and support the K-12 Black History 365 (BH365) curriculum,” said Ambassador Andrew Young. “I encourage every school district throughout the United States to strongly consider adopting the comprehensive Black History 365 curriculum as their choice for African American studies.”
A serial entrepreneur whose endeavors include Living Single in Faith, a business that focuses on inspiring singles, and Restorations Corner Ministry, a non-profit organization that focuses on collegiate ministry, Scaife was a natural choice to launch the "Black History Matters 365" podcast.
“Entrepreneurship is a mission in my life,” she said. “I take it very seriously, and launching the "Black History Matters 365" podcast is one of my most real and passionate projects yet. It’s an honor to interview some of the greatest history-makers of our time. The goal of the podcast is to introduce the theme, 'African American History as American History,' in a whole new way, by shining a light on the lives of those who have contributed on every level of life, both in the past and present. Creating a space for their voices to be heard and for their stories to be told is something I commit to daily.”
