In R. Lee Gordon’s own words:

Three years ago, while still hard at work in and on Detroit, I started to research and write a business plan for my new company, UniTee Design. As a youth enrichment and ethnic empowerment enterprise, its primary mission is to rally Black Unity so we can find and deliver better ways to ensure our youth have more academic successes. I truly believe education is critical to uplifting the course of our future. And the most effective way to teach our children is together, one community, one parent and one person at a time.

I didn’t think it wise to rely on George or General Motors to give our young generation all they need to succeed, so I decided to produce and sell designer tee-shirts that represented the beautiful colors of our unity to fund leading youth education programs, and would create awareness, dialogue and, most of all, movement in my (and our) mission.

While it took a long leap of strong faith to jump from a well paying job and fruitful career, and put my own monies and my family’s (including a two week old daughter) well being at risk, my sole goal now and every day is to improve the successes of our children by promoting and supporting their quality of life and learning.

Brace Yourself Boutique is a small, independent company based in Southern California. Brace Yourself was created in 2007 by Myisha Croom–Turner when her self-taught skill making jewelry resulted in a means to earn extra cash. Through her love of nature, travel, and fashion, she began designing numerous bracelets to reflect her many inspirations and style. Her goal has been to create jewelry that is timeless and transcends the changing trends. Her designs are original, earthy and collaborate well with everything from cotton to couture. In May of 2007, Myisha started preparing for her first marketplace showing in Los Angeles, and to date has participated in several craft fairs, and trade shows throughout California.

As a person who buys and sells on the Internet frequently (perhaps too frequenlty) I’ve often used PayPal to pay for items or to accept money.  However, PayPal fees can certainly add up, which is why I was looking into this "Revolution Money Exhange".  At first I thought it was some sort of scheme, but I researched it and it is legitimate, which is why I signed myself up this morning and got my $25.00 in my account.  (Yes, I promise you it’s true!)

A quick overview – basically, Revolution Money Exchange was established by Steve Case (one of the foundesr of AOL).  There are no fees to send or receive money if both parties are a member of Revolution Money Exchange.  The services that are free include:

• add money to your Money Exchange account
• register for an account
• send/receive money
• request money
• transfer money to your bank account

  Taken directly from their FAQs:  "MoneyExchange does not charge you any fees for electronically adding money to your account or electronically transferring money to your linked bank account. You should check with your bank to determine whether they will charge you any fees for adding or withdrawing money from your MoneyExchange account."

If you’re looking for an alternative to PayPal AND you want to make a quick 25.00, try Revolution Money Exchange:     Yep, that’s my referral link – if you refer a friend, you get $10.00. 

$25 OFFER EXPIRES MAY 15, 2008 so click right away!
