Black Wealth seems to be a missing objective in American Black culture. Black Wealth does Matters and Strather Academy will give the tools needed to foster financial stability in urban communities.

Motivating the “Black Wealth Matters” movement is Herbert J. Strather. He is a Detroit commercial property developer that is proposing to create new urban real estate developers in 2022 within the city of Detroit. Strather was once the president of Motorcity Casino and Resort, lead investor of the Woodbridge Estates, the former president of the investment group to remodel the historic St Regis Hotel and have done over $2 billion in real estate transactions in the city of Detroit. Strather is also the biggest club builder of the International Optimist Clubs in its 123 year’s existence (The primary purpose of the Optimist club is to aid and encourage the development of youth, in the belief that the giving of oneself in service to others will advance the well-being of humankind, community life and the world).

Strather is the CEO of a black owned Michigan licensed Real Estate school in Detroit called Strather Academy. “Black Wealth Matters” is this year’s theme, and the school is motivating that sentiment by providing affordable courses to Detroit residents. All classes are just $99.00 each, and will be held Live on Zoom every Thursday at 6:00pm to 8:00 EST, from February 3rd to 24th.

About Strather Academy
Strather Academy, an affiliate of Strather Associates was created in 2006 at Wayne County Community College by Herb Strather to teach Detroiters real estate acquisition skills. The first 1,000 students were taught free at WCCCD. The firm then moved on to Marygrove College where Mr. Strather taught for two years. Finally, Strather Academy became a stand-alone institution. However, Mr. Strather occasionally lectures at Harvard University Divinity School teaching “Faith and Finance” and Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan.

The academy’s philosophy is to teach by doing. Mr. Strather believes the best approach is “hands on.” When a student becomes involved in a project, they learn through experience rather than just theory. And certainly, learning under an experienced coach is much better than attempting to learn by trial and error. In recent years, Strather Academy students have formed three successful joint ventures Apollo I, Apollo II, and Apollo III.

Stacey Jackson, the multitalented singer-songwriter known for her infectious tunes and dynamic performances, is now making waves in the literary world with her debut novel, “How a Gangsta Rapper Made Me A Better Mom try”. As she gears up for her upcoming Flipside Tour across the UK, fans are eagerly anticipating not only her electrifying stage presence but also the chance to delve into the pages of her captivating new novel.

Stacey opens up about her transition from crafting melodies to penning prose, shedding light on the creative process behind her literary venture and its intersection with her music career.

Inspiration Strikes: From Lyrics to Literature

When asked about her inspiration for diving into novel writing, Stacey reveals, “Transitioning to writing a novel was terrifying! But having cameras in my house following me around 24/7 wasn’t my family’s cup of tea! So, a friend of mine… said, ‘Why don’t you just write a book?'” Thus began her journey into the world of storytelling, fueled by her desire to share her remarkable life experiences in a fresh and engaging format.

Crafting Characters and Connecting Stories

Stacey’s creative process for writing “How a Gangsta Rapper Made Me A Better Mom” involved weaving together a tapestry of characters and plotlines, drawing inspiration from her own adventures in the music industry. She explains, “The bulk of the book is loosely based on my own journey… I literally played every venue from ‘shitty’ dives on the side of the motorway to massive sporting arenas.” Through meticulous planning and a touch of artistic flair, she brought her characters to life, each with their own unique voice and personality.

Themes of Resilience and Pursuing Dreams

At the heart of her novel lie themes of resilience and the pursuit of dreams against all odds. Stacey hopes to convey to her readers that “it’s never too late to live your own dreams and never give up on your passions or on yourself.” Her novel serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the joy of embracing new challenges, echoing her own journey of reinvention and success.

Balancing Acts: Music, Writing, and Everything In Between*

Navigating the worlds of music and literature may seem like a daunting task, but for Stacey, it’s all about embracing the ebb and flow of creativity. From crafting melodies to penning chapters, she thrives on spontaneity and the thrill of creative collaboration. “I juggle everything in very random order,” she admits, highlighting her ADHD-fueled approach to balancing multiple projects. Yet, amidst the chaos, she finds moments of clarity and inspiration, fueling her artistic endeavors with boundless energy and enthusiasm.

Looking Ahead: A Trilogy in the Making

As Stacey prepares to embark on her Flipside Tour, she already has her sights set on the next chapter of her literary journey. “The first book was meant to be part of a trilogy,” she reveals, hinting at future adventures for her beloved characters. With each installment, she plans to explore new facets of their lives, intertwining music, family, and personal growth in a delightful blend of fiction and reality.

Conclusion: A Star on the Rise

With her infectious energy and boundless creativity, Stacey Jackson continues to captivate audiences across multiple artistic platforms. As fans eagerly await the kickoff of her Flipside Tour, one thing is clear: Stacey’s star shines brightly in both the world of music and the realm of literature, proving that true talent knows no bounds.
