About Me
The Original Pioneers
The P.O.P. Movement is a multi-culture, humanitarian economic movement. P.O.P. stands for, “Prosperity Over Poverty,” and that’s our main goal. June 1-8, 2024, we will be launching a Massive Community Restoration & Job Creation Project in the form of a campaign poised to bring substantial, quantifiable change to impoverished communities across the country. Our goal is to create nationwide, a minimum of 1,000,000 Jobs, 200,000 new entrepreneurs and strengthen countless numbers of existing business nationwide by year end 2027.
The P.O.P. 360 Community Restoration & Job Creation Project continues a Legacy of Hope.
We will be opening P.O.P. New Day Business Resource and Market Centers mainly in impoverish communities within every 15-50 miles radius beginning in the state of Mississippi.
Our goal is to provide communities with the means to stimulate our country’s economy, returning it to its former greatness and beyond. We provide a financial education to individuals in disadvantaged communities, including middle class communities filled with the working poor due to the continued rise in inflation and tax law changes that have affected the economy in the past and present.
Our History
The P.O.P. Movement had the privilege of being place in the History Museum during the state of Mississippi 200-year bicentennial as of December 9-2017 because of our concepts use in teaching self-sustainability is based on the teachings of I.T. Montgomery and Benjamin Green the founder & Co-founder of the City of Mound Bayou, Ms. in 1887, where the initial training was implemented.
HOW TO OBTAIN PROSPERITY OVER POVERTY
Our founders believe that if we take the power of the people and connect it to the power of pennies, we can have prosperity over poverty. The power of pennies is that everyone pays a little, and our collective strength provides us with what we need. The P.O.P. Job Creation Campaign for Success exists because “we the people” had to find new ways to assist Americans in helping themselves economically.
OUR FIRST TARGET STATES ARE— MISSISSIPPI, TENNESSEE, ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, AND ALABAMA
Mississippi, our #I economically poorest state according to the 2020 Census Bureau Report needs our help. In January of 2021, census data reported more than 711,476 Mississippians were recipients of the SNAP benefit. We had an unemployment rate of 6.8%, which is higher than the national average of 5%. Of those who were gainfully employed, more than 47.3% had jobs in the small business sector. In 2020, The Sentencing Project reported Mississippi’s ex-offender population at 290,079. Previously incarcerated persons, even those with higher learning, tend to lose hope in becoming valued members of society. This is particularly due to background restrictions enforced by many employers. Creating jobs that will hire this population will offer hope to many.
Mississippians will Jumpstart in the Nations
CONTINUATION OF A LEGACY OF HOPE 360 CRP&JC Project
The PO.P. 360 CR&JC Project will be implemented as a National Campaign that will be officially launching June 1-8, 2024, from the #1 economically poorest state, Mississippi. History will be made again. Mississippi will be the leading state to launch this campaign entitled “Why We Can’t Wait Any Longer. We need your assistance and support. We are asking that all Mississippians to take the lead in this campaign. We are Moving Forward & Demanding Prosperity.
Our ultimate goal in this campaign aims to help aspiring entrepreneurs get their businesses set up properly and thriving enough to hire employees or additional employees that come from our job readiness training program. We focus on helping individuals achieve financial stability, many of which may be from impoverished communities, experiencing hardships that come from unjust criminal backgrounds, and those that have systematic oppressions to deal with in their everyday lives.
We are creating this crowdfunding campaign to bring in operating funds from donors to support our mission in getting started faster. We are not government funded and have built a self-sustainable system which allows these individuals to Do For Self.
We have been in existing for over 10 years and has initiated a 2-year test on this concept of mindset change which was initiated in Mound Bayou, Ms. (The oldest African American City in the Country).
The P.O.P. Movement had the privilege of being place in the History Museum during the state of Mississippi 200-year bicentennial as of December 9-2017 because of our concepts use in teaching self-sustainability based on the teachings of I.T.

DONATOR’S & ECONOMIC PATRIOT’S NEEDED
Everyone Has an Opportunity to Put Some Skin in the Game That Will Help in Bringing about Positive Change to Impoverish Communities throughout Mississippi starting in the lower Delta and eventually throughout the country.
We are asking all organizations, businesses, churches, community leaders and concern citizens from the state of Mississippi to take the lead in supporting this project by becoming an Endorser, Sponsor or Economic Patriot by donating a $50.00 as a individual member and as a Faith Base Endorser a minimum of $300.00 towards our goal or purchase a minimum of 25 commemorative products from our list of fundraising items to help us reach our goal of raising five-hundred, thousand dollars ($500,000.00) in phase one in order to begin setting up our chapters and opening job training centers in impoverished communities throughout Mississippi and abroad.
The Centers will provide hands-on training to prepare individuals for employment and business ownership. We will also train our students on how to stay in compliance with new and changing tax laws related to business and personal taxes. This new Eco Job Creation System will provide the skills techniques and resources needed to help minimize the number of individuals that’s relying on Federal assistant programs such as SNAP (Food Stamps) or TANIF (Welfare) etc. by creating livable wage employment that will give everyone equal employment opportunities.
This new eco system will also benefit felons. By attending these trainings, it will qualify and position these individuals for business startup, finding employment and help many get their record expunged. (Certain rules apply to qualify for expungement.) This system will also have an immediate economic impact in our communities by helping to lower unemployment, mass incarceration. Recidivism and crime.
THE POP MOVEMENT CREED
- I’d rather see a sermon than to hear one any day
- I’d rather one walk with me than just to show the way
- The eye is a better pupil and more willing than the ear
- Advice may be misleading, but examples are always clear
- And the very best of teachers are the ones who live their creed, for to see good put into action is what everybody needs.
- I can soon learn to do it if you let me see it done.
- I can watch your hand in motion, but your tongue too fast may run, and the lectures you deliver may be very fine and true, but I’d rather get my lesson by observing what you do.
- For I may misunderstand you and the fine advice you give, but there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
