Spring 2023 Early Opening Announced by One of America’s Most Unique Places to Stay – Clear Sky Resorts Grand Canyon

PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Clear Sky Resorts announces an early April 27 opening of their one-of-a-kind resort near Grand Canyon National Park. "An increase in daylight hours and temperatures also increases demand for rooms at the Grand Canyon," explains Hal Feinberg, co-creator of Clear Sky Resorts. "We wanted to offer visitors the option of an experience at one of America's most unique resorts."

Spring is an ideal time to visit to avoid the peak travel season of summer. Daytime temperatures are perfect for exploring below the canyon rim where temps can often be 20 to 25 degrees warmer.

Then there's the delicate spring wildflowers - with around 650 flowering herbaceous plants, the Southwest high desert is abloom in whites, yellows, reds, oranges, pinks and purples.

Late spring and early summer are the driest times of year, although the occasional spring storm can create unique conditions that emphasize the visual impact of the landscape creating dramatic photo opportunities. Clear Sky Resorts' spacious Luxury Sky Dome accommodations offer spring guests the best of both worlds - expansive windows that bring the outside in and climate-control systems to keep the outside out. Every dome also has its own private bath featuring a large glass-enclosed shower with a rain showerhead and plush towels, amenities not always found at other glamping resorts.

Late spring and early summer also provide great weather for stargazing. Every Clear Sky Resorts' Luxury Sky Dome offers a skylight and large panoramic window for epic stargazing from the comfort of a luxurious bed. "Nights in your dome are magical, I definitely got lost in the stars," said a guest who rated their Clear Sky Resorts experience as five-star plus a few thousand.

Beyond stargazing, Clear Sky Resorts is also about fun-filled opportunities to get to know your fellow guests, your family and even yourself. Family-friendly onsite activities connect people to each other and make every Clear Sky Resorts vacation a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that you'll want to experience again and again.

* Sunrise yoga in the a.m. & live music in the p.m.

* Native American storytelling & flute-making

* Movie nights in the resort's projection dome

* Nightly s'mores around artisan firepits

* Glow-in-the-dark frisbee golf & cornhole

* Super-sized bounce pillow, Tryke Track & playground

Opening for the 2023 season early on April 27, book your Clear Sky Resorts' Grand Canyon spring vacation in the next two weeks and receive discounted spring rates.

108-Year-Old Tulsa Race Massacre Survivor Viola Ford Fletcher Turns to Literary Activism to Seek Justice, Making History as Oldest Woman in the World to Publish Memoir

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Mocha Media Inc is honored to announce the publication of "DON'T LET THEM BURY MY STORY, The Oldest Living Survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre In Her Own Words" (Hardcover; On Sale: May 30, 2023; $29.99; ISBN: 978-1737168409) by Viola Ford Fletcher with her grandson Ike Howard on the 102nd Anniversary of the event that caused the single worst incident of racial violence in the history of the United States.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot." - Viola Ford Fletcher.

A lifetime in the making, "DON'T LET THEM BURY MY STORY" shares the journey of the oldest survivor and last living witness of the Tulsa Massacre of 1921. In her memoir, Ms. Fletcher, affectionally known as "Mother Fletcher," takes us through the journey of a terrified seven-year-old girl awakened in the middle of the night and forced to flee her burning neighborhood of Greenwood to the 107-year-old family matriarch testifying before Congress100 years later to the date seeking justice for the families of the greatest tragedy to take place on American soil.

"I will never forget the violence of the white mob when we left our home. I still see Black men being shot, Black bodies lying in the street. I still smell smoke and see fire. I still see Black businesses being burned. I still hear airplanes flying overhead. I hear the screams," Fletcher told Congress. "I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot."

Despite 1921 Tulsa being a highly segregated city, the 10,000 Black residents of its Greenwood community created a thriving business district known as "Black Wall Street." But unfortunately, what should have been an opportunity to create generational wealth, became a nightmare that killed hundreds of Black Tulsans. The thousands of survivors who had just lost loved ones and millions of dollars in property were then forced into internment camps.

With no one ever held accountable for the horror they endured, these traumatized American citizens had to figure out how to survive in a country that attacked them with military force and threatened their lives if they ever attempted to tell their stories. For 102 years, the remaining survivors patiently waited to be acknowledged, heard, and restored.

"My grandmother was afraid to tell her stories for many years in fear of retaliation," says her grandson Ike Howard, co-writer and President of the Viola Ford Fletcher Foundation. Finally, the retired military veteran suggested that perhaps God had blessed her with longevity so she could tell everyone what happened in Tulsa. "Knowing I was here to protect her, she was encouraged to conquer her fear. She looked at me and said, "Alright then, go tell my damn story."

"DON'T LET THEM BURY MY STORY" is set to publish on May 30, 2023, the 102nd Anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre, under Mocha Media, a Black-woman-owned publishing company that produces original, curated, and user-generated content digital and traditional formats. Upon publication Ms. Fletcher will be 109 years old, making her the oldest centurion to ever write a book.

"What an honor it is to make history on International Women's Day with Mother Fletcher, who is using the power of the pen to keep her survival story alive. It's Literary Activism at its finest," says Margo Ochoa, CEO of Mocha Media Inc. "Because our publishing model not only provides a platform for marginalized writers but it also allows Ms. Fletcher to receive immediate royalties, this we in our own way can do our part to assist in the economic restoration of Ms. Fletcher and her family."

Ms. Fletcher and Ike Howard along with her "Baby Brother" Van Ellis (102) who wrote the forward to the book will embark on tour during the spring and summer of 2023.

Black History Month – Teaching Black Children The Value Of Building Wealth, Saving Money, and Financial Literacy

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- On the last day of Black History Month, nationally recognized Black Producer and Creator Joe Young, Jr., in partnership with JPMorgan Chase, will launch a print and digital comic book teaching financial literacy to students featuring "KEMET, BIG TIME SAVER."

On February 28, 2023, 10 a.m. at P.S. 171 Patrick Henry Preparatory school in Harlem, Principal Dimitres Pantelidis, will host a Black History Month event for fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students to celebrate the conclusion of the month.

Students will officially meet KEMET, a ten-year-old time-traveling comic character who goes back to meet African-American historical firsts, legends, and inventors, both living and deceased, who share with KEMET what they have done to contribute to the outstanding accomplishments of building this country and improving civilization.

By traveling through a history time capsule called "Sankofa 82," KEMET, in mascot form, will talk to the students about the value of money and saving and the importance of financial literacy.

"There is a dire need for youth in urban areas to understand the importance of basic money management," said Joe Young, Founder and Producer of Joe Young Entertainment. "KEMET, BIG TIME SAVER will engage the students to think about the value of money, saving, and investing. Promoting financial literacy in our schools impacts the mind and behavior towards money management and understanding the value and importance of generational wealth."

"Financial health is a critical component of creating a stronger economic foundation and building generational wealth for the Black community," said Jumoke Fagbayi-Butts, Vice President and Senior Business Consultant at Chase. "We are committed to addressing the unique financial needs of those too often left behind in a growing economy. Our firm works with leaders like Joe Young to support the next generation of Black prosperity."

"We are happy to join nationally recognized cartoonist Joe Young, his cartoon character KEMET, BIG TIME SAVER, and JoAnn H. Price, Co-Founder/Managing Partner of Fairview Capital, to present this comic book to all students at P.S. 171 in Harlem," said Rocky Chowdhury, Vice President, and Community Manager for Chase in Harlem. "Building positive financial health habits early in life leads to great success, and applaud Joe's work to teach students responsible money habits that will help secure their financial futures."

KEMET, BIG TIME SAVER BACKGROUND

KEMET, BIG TIME SAVER comic book, was co-written by Joe Young and his daughter Paige Young. The comic book story features ten-year-old "Ro" who runs a lemonade stand and decides to use her profits from the revenues generated from her lemonade stand business to buy a new scooter. She gets frustrated after running into problems raising enough money.

KEMET, alerted about her dilemma, takes off in "Sankofa 82" to help her. He introduces Ro to three successful Black entrepreneurs from past and present: the late A.G. Gaston, one of the wealthiest African Americans of his time, including a $130 million business empire spanning communications, real estate, and insurance; JoAnn H. Price, Co-Founder/Managing Partner of Fairview Capital Partners (Private Equity and Venture Capital firm) with over $10.4 Billion in assets under management since inception; and the late Mary Ellen Pleasant, a 19th-century entrepreneur, financier, real estate magnate, and abolitionist who was the first self-made millionaire of African-American heritage.

Beginning in March, Young and his mascot KEMET will commence a tour to visit schools and youth groups with his KEMET BIG TIME SAVER PROGRAM. The KEMET youth activity sheets, which include fun and educational Black history facts, are distributed nationwide to schools and Black newspapers, reaching over 22 million readers a week. Young is in pre-production for the KEMET BIG TIME SAVER animated film.
