Upward News Becomes the Chosen Source for Trustworthy, Faithful, and Concise News

Upward News, a recently launched news-related newsletter was introduced to the general public, is produced with the collaboration of a few editors, writers, graphic designers, and video editors; a team that has given birth to an accessible media platform that simply reports the truth.

Upward News was launched to empower readers through a fact-based, simple, and free newsletter. 

The main reason behind the start of Upward News was to deliver the truth, no matter what it costs. They believe the legacy media has gained a bad reputation while publishing news according to the state of confusion and conflict. Legacy media often portrays a polarized America that has nothing to do with the real world.

Upward News is an independent platform that covers important news. They work without any external influence from any popular political parties or big corporations and work efficiently going through the details related to news stories and publishing them accordingly and authentically.

Upward news was found in 2020 after a long-term effort by a small team of young Americans who wanted to do something for their country. The group of passionate individuals worked hard to help inform the country, where citizens can think beyond what they are being told or shown. Their goal and core idea of the newsletter is to think beyond past experiences and past divisions to ensure unity. 

Upward News strives to produce trustworthy and concise news. They know how to portray and report the truth while being neutral and know which topics and news require priority and which do not. Upward News is allowing free access to their newsletter in hopes that readers will see the value of it and share it with friends.

Businesswoman Latesha Isbell Howard advocates for economic equity for minority women-owned businesses

Businesswoman Latesha Isbell Howard advocates for economic equity for minority women-owned businesses

Find out more at www.successwithlatesha.com.

“The problems of racial injustice and economic injustice cannot be solved without a radical redistribution of political and economic power.”

– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In the business world rooted in racism and economic inequity, we can either talk about the problem or take action. Latesha Isbell Howard, a business management consultant and marketing manager for a Fortune 500 company, is all about action. With over 25 years in the business industry, she noticed a problem within her community with the lack of financial knowledge, access to capital, and entrepreneurship education, so she decided to launch Savvy Diva Enterprises.

“A lot of us were not taught about credit and personal finances,” said Howard. “Financial literacy and entrepreneurship aren’t taught in high school or college, and that’s why I offer these services.”

Her company specializes in business credit, funding solutions, education and resources for minority female entrepreneurs. She also provides additional resources that support personal credit optimization, helping clients to become lender ready.

Operating in the corporate world with her Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor’s in Finance, Howard has gained valuable expertise to help her clients to structure, fund, and operate their small businesses like Fortune 500 companies.

“I love what I do, but I am only making small ripples in the ocean. God says it’s time to go bigger!” said Howard. And this is why she has launched a huge initiative to serve 2,300 minority women-owned businesses annually. Savvy Diva Enterprises has developed an entrepreneurship academy, small business incubator, community development loan fund, real estate investing program, and youth financial literacy and entrepreneurship program.

“This is a call to action to every bank with CRA goals, every corporation or municipality with community and economic development goals, every philanthropist that wants to leave a legacy, and every government funding program that supports entrepreneurship or financial literacy. We’re also seeking partnerships with nonprofits whose mission aligns with ours,” said Howard. To learn more about how you can support this initiative, click here.

“Together we can change the lives of an underrepresented, underserved, and underutilized population,” said Howard. A study by McKinsey & Company states that “in a parity scenario, Black-owned businesses would generate $1.6 trillion more than they do today.” This point illustrates why economic equity is vitally important.

This trailblazing wife, mother, entrepreneur, and stage 3 breast cancer survivor lights up when she talks about teaching clients how to turn their passion into a plan and transform the plan into profits. “I love to see people win; helping these women level up in their business and finances is my life purpose,” said Howard.
