New Foundation to Build Long-Term Economic Wealth in Black Communities

As part of major economic initiative, the Guap Foundation, an Atlanta-based nonprofit organization, launched its website as a platform to build a strong foundation for long-term economic wealth in underserved Black and Brown communities.

Tavonia Evans created GUAP Coin, a cryptocurrency created to amplify the economic voice of the Black community through block-chain technology and financial education.

A recent study of the global Cryptocurrency Market shows that it is projected to have a 30% compound annual growth reaching, $5.19 million by 2026, up from $792.5 million in 2019.

While the Foundation has adopted the term “Buy Black” to reflect the socio-political movement most pertinent to its primary audience, it also acknowledges that underserved populations encompass a wide array of cultures, shades, languages, and ethnic groups around the globe.

guapThe Foundation’s primary mission is to provide a sound and revolutionary economic base for the underserved, underestimated, and financially uneducated minority community.

Guapcoin unite and empower all corners of the underestimated population with a currency focused on building generational wealth.

The secondary mission is to educate our community on how to use cryptocurrency and its application in the new economy.

The foundation also will:

  • Encourage and facilitate learning that redefines what constitutes money/currency and how it is governed and used
  • Swap and trade GUAP currency for services and products
  • Identify and marketing of member businesses
  • Increase the lifespan of currency in Black and Brown communities and demonstrate via data collection
  • Empower artists with the tools to distribute their music as well as build and monetize a fan base
  • Provide education and materials about financial literacy
  • Encourage entrepreneurship and provide financial support

The Foundation hopes to build a group of highly professional, educated and skilled individuals who can assist in carrying out the organization’s mission.

How can Energy Audits inform your Net Zero Strategy?

Image
Many organisations are already in the habit of undertaking energy audits to highlight where energy and water efficiencies can be made, save on utility costs, and reduce carbon emissions. Unfortunately, the sad reality of many energy audits and surveys (especially ones that are completed for compliance with ESOS), is that once they are completed, the report is often tucked away into a ‘virtual’ drawer, never to be seen again. But what if there was another use for that forgotten energy audit? Did you know that it could actually be a really useful business tool to help get you started on your net zero journey? To help you harness that data in a practical way, Energy Services Analyst, Rhiannon Farquhar explains what makes energy audits so essential to carbon management and how they can be used to get your business on the path to net zero. So, what are energy audits? To put it simply, an energy audit is an assessment of the energy needs and efficiency of a building (or process), which

Garden Offices | The Ultimate Work from Home Solution for 2021

The Pros and Cons of Working from Home Working from home was not so long ago considered a perk of the job, however, the much-longed-for 30-second commute, for many of us, has finally become a realisation. Prior to the global pandemic, we would have spent 492 days of our lives commuting to and from work and inevitably, Covid-19 has brought about a catalyst of change. Businesses are now seeing the benefits of reducing costs by giving up office spaces, and with commuting now significantly reduced, one of the biggest winners out of this situation is the environment. With this in mind, there’s no doubt that the “new normal” of home working is, quite clearly, here to stay. The general consensus is that working from home is wholly positive and can provide a better work-life balance. Whilst this is true, there is evidence to suggest that this can be quite the opposite, with staff working later than usual as they battle to “switch-off” when their working day is over. So, what’s the solutio

Forgiveness Plan Would Remove One-Third of Students’ Loan Debt

About one in three Idahoans who have federal student-loan debt would see it erased entirely if the Biden administration goes forward with a $10,000 forgiveness plan. That’s according to analysis from the website Student Loan Hero . President Joe Biden is considering eliminating the debt through executive order. Andrew Pentis, a senior writer and certified student loan counselor at Student Loan Hero, said the average monthly loan repayment in Idaho is $274. “Whether you have more or less than $10,000 worth of student loans left to repay, this dose of forgiveness would be hugely helpful, in either getting rid of your debt or shrinking it considerably,” said Pentis. “So certainly, if you’re a borrower in Idaho, you’d be rooting for something like this to happen.” The Trump administration paused federal student loan repayments in March 2020 during the pandemic. Biden extended the pause on his first day in office through at least October 1. Some Democrats want the Biden administration
