My name is Valarie Stewart, web-weaver. I created the website to help others who are fighting for their rights, fighting corruption, or seeking the truth. Often the newspapers tell a one-sided version of a story. I witnessed a eminent domain taking and demolition of the buildings that housed the Ebony Showcase Theatre, founded by my parents in 1950. The newspapers did not tell a complete story. When we were interviewed by reporters the resulting, published, stories told half-truths and outright lies. This experience taught me that other people were experiencing a similar situation. This website will reveal the other side of the stories.

On this website we tell about people, events, issues, products, and services that people should know about. Information will be published on this website, on the radio, in podcasts. We're presenting stories of brave people who face situations with an independent outlook and independent thinking. They don't accept everything they are told. Instead, they look beneath the surface to find the truth and to make a difference.
