Who We Are

Carraque Widows is an online community where widows-of-color can share the impact of losing a spouse or significant other.   We present a platform that provides a place for unbiased support, suggestions and ideas on proceeding with the rebirth of life.

What We Do

Carraque Widows listens, and we let you talk.   We provide an online forum that acknowledges the significant voice of widows-of-color and the unique depth of emotion that has had, up to now, little outlet in this digital world.   We also compile online resource information that may prove useful in life navigation after significant loss.

How We Help

The cathartic nature of being able to talk freely cannot be over-valued.   Neither can the value of connecting with others "just like you".   Just by being here, Carraque Widows hopes to provide a necessary connection among our membership that will help clear the path towards healing and a renewed life.

PhatBack Athletics

PhatBack Athletics

PhatBack Athletics is a Philadelphia based track & field club and mentor program that serves young men between the ages of 13 and 18-years-old. The program is administered by Mister Mann Frisby, who has eight years of coaching experience. PhatBack’s purpose is to develop and nurture the athletic talent of these young men while allowing them to build relationships with highly successful men in various professions. All members are required to attend monthly mentor sessions in which a chosen speaker shares their life experiences. PhatBack athletes train three times a week from April through July and competes mostly on weekends.

In an effort to maintain the quality of the coaching and mentor program, the size of the team will be limited to 25 members for the first two years. After that time an extensive evaluation of the program will be made, and it will be determined whether or not the team should be expanded.

The assistant coach is Angel Patterson, 12 time All-American hurdler. Patterson was a standout sprinter for William Penn High School before moving on to University of Texas at Austin where she broke the school record in the 400 hurdles. (55.50) She currently works as a probation officer for the city of Philadelphia.

It is the founder’s vision that in less than a decade PhatBack Athletics Inc. will be considered one of the finest athletic and academic organizations in the country.

The team motto is: “I am one of many, only opportunity has distinguished me from many….” ---Donny Hathaway.

A Good Black Man

A Good Black Man

Agoodblackman.com was born out of the belief that the purpose of our history is to enhance our present and secure our futures. We believe that our history exists for us and that the common history all African Americans share should be the basis for our solidarity, not an excuse for our disintegration as a race. It is our mission to remind you of that. Agoodblackman.com believes in the countless numbers of Black men out there who have devoted their lives to building strong communities, families and relationships. We want to help those Black men (and women) who have positive messages to convey. We want as many of them as possible to know that we're listening and that we'll devote our best interests to helping them get their positive messages out.
