Responsibilities Of Owners Of New Age Corporations

Unity International, Company Inc.™, (hereafter also called UICI™ or Unity) is the world's first, only and the most successful New Age Corporation™. In addition, its primarily, managed, operated and governed by Black women. For years Black women have wanted to be the driving force that moved the Black community forward...now they have the means and the opportunity. {Click here to read Amy Euphemia Jacques Garvey's Article on "Women As Leaders"}

Even though most New Age Corporations™ will probably be owned and managed by Black women, all New Age Corporation™ are based on New Age Capitalism™'s bottom up or grass roots funding model of collective enterprise and collective ownership in which those that put up the money own the corporation. However, the concept cannot work without George Sistrunk's copyrighted Transitional Documents. The Board works for those that put up the money - the owners - the shareholders. When owners are also board members, a legal separation takes place. However, authority and responsibility never leaves the owners. They must still guide and direct the corporation collectively as a unit and not separately as individuals or separate legal entities. Collectively, the shareholders will always own Unity. {Click here to read Harvard Business School's article entitled: "Qualified Black Women Are Being Held Back"}

For over 18 years, the owners of Unity, the shareholders... never realized the awesome reality that they have in their hands. Since a corporation, like Unity, has never existed before in world history, Unity is a money making enterprise all by itself. Everything that is done at Unity is not only historical, everything done is also a book, manual or an information publication that can be sold for additional income for the owners and their families. Since, there are no other New Age Corporations™ on planet earth, the world must come to Unity's owners for guidance, direction, expertise and operational procedures. {Click here to learn more about the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA)}

Earnings from consulting fees and speaking engagements can run into the thousands of dollars. Seminars, conferences and training fees can equal thousands more. New Age Corporations™, like Unity, place the destiny of a world class corporate entity into the hands of ordinary people, many of whom, will have no business experience or training. Everything, Unity's owners learn or accomplish becomes another book or manual that will give encouragement and confidence to others and provide additional income for Unity's owners.

Therefore, it is vitally important that Unity's owners forever erase the stigma that Black people are not intelligent enough to own, operate and manage a world class, multi-million dollar corporation like Unity International. For over 200 years no Black person or group has ever owned a corporate entity that can capitalize to $500 million dollars. Currently on planet earth, there are no Black owned corporations anywhere that can capitalize like Unity. The owners of Unity have a responsibility and duty to act at all times within the boundaries of state and federal law and to do whatever is legally necessary to ensure Unity, the corporation survives.

One of the most astounding and significant realities about Unity is this mega multi-million corporation exists in a small town like Orangeburg, South Carolina and not in some major city. What's even more profound is the creators of the concept are not college educated economist that are P.H.Ds., from Harvard, Yale or the University of Southern California (USC). In fact, a college educated economist could not have developed it. Everything in "Corporate America" is based on a few having a lot and paying a lot to capitalize a corporation.

The creators of New Age Capitalism™, UICI™'s Standing Committee and George M. Sistrunk were born and raised in Orangeburg and North, South Carolina. New Age Corporations™ like Unity are created for people of average means or wage earners and not rich people. Can you imagine, Unity is owned by people in Orangeburg, whose only concept of income is a weekly, bi-monthly or a once-a-month-check? This is a fixed income whether you... know it... or not... or...believe it.... or not. Can you imagine, a $500 million dollar corporate entity is owned primarily by Black women on fixed income? Naturally, this does not say much for the vast majority of Black males, many of whom, have never earned the right to be called a man. {Click here to read the article "We Have No Leaders To Save Our Black Men"}

For years Black women have been victimized by the cowardliness, fearfulness and the lack of vision of the vast majority of Black males that never became men. Fully 90% of the Black males living right now on planet earth are pathethic and worthless. For years, Black women had to endure the humiliation of knowing the majority of the males in their community were not qualified to be called a man, a boyfriend or a husband. Therefore, it is left up to the women of Unity and the few men that have demonstrated courage and vision to forge a new future for Black America and bring hope and opportunity where none currently exist. {Black American men are to blame for the failure of Black America}

Accordingly, Orangeburg, South Carolina, America and the world are waiting for the women of Unity to organize themselves, grow in confidence and expertise in order to make their debut on the world stage as effective corporate owners and managers of a world class corporate entity. In 1851, Sojourner Truth said, "If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together, ought to be able to turn it back and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them." {Click here for a brief history of Amy Euphemia Jacques Garvey} {Click here to read the online book "Black Women in Defense of Themselves"}
