Good Day,

In Baptist and Church of God in Christ churches there are a plethora of stereotypes being preached about and not enough gospel about “Sodomiting” (referencing The City of Sodom in The Bible). The bible says how the city was destroyed for haughtiness, egoism, and rape.

• Ethical relativism emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural context in which the problematic conduct is being judged.[1] It is important to elicit the interpretations and to understand problematic cases from the cultural insiders’ viewpoint.[2]

Furthermore, Sodom and Gomorrah have been used historically and in modern discourses as metaphors for homosexuality[3], and are the origin of the English word sodomite, a pejorative term for male homosexuals, and sodomy, which is used in a legal content under the label “crimes against nature”[4] to describe anal or oral sex (particularly homosexual) and bestiality.[5]
Understanding that homosexuality originated from corrupted men in the city of Sodom could help with redirecting a positive outlook on homo sapiens. Not every Caucasian is racist. Nor is every heterosexual person promiscuous. So, why must every homosexual person be compared to homo sapiens that chose violent? This is important for transformational psychology. As cultural beings, we are socialized by the values and norms of our culture to think and be- have in certain ways and to evaluate right from wrong actions.[6]
Churches and Christian organizations can partner together to communicate the gospel more effectively to all nations by understanding it takes a team to build a dream. Being an International Media Proprietor requires a copious amount of applied knowledge. This includes having cultural intelligence. With that said, CCsquaredtm (Cornels Corner) will continue to partner with a diverse group of cultures to fulfill The Great Commission to stop sex trafficking and differentiate “sodomite” and “homosexuality”.

Always,
Rico (iV)

I’ve interviewed many celebrities: from Meagan Good, K Michelle, Dq4eQuis, NBC artists, ABC artists and many more - helping with the ideas and aspects of business I was ignorant to. For that I am grateful. Demitrious explains it best by stating, “The broadcasting industry is comprised of companies that create and/or purchase television or radio content, then distribute that content to viewers through a network of affiliates.” This is true… but what about social media? Social media is now the place where most people are finding news about what or who is on television or even the radio! People are also having “television shows” on social media. Wait…! Us humans are even having “radio podcasts” on social media!
Social Media Influencers are taking over for the better!

Ms. Petula Davis - A phenomenal social media influencer is an investor and credit consultant! Leading people to financial freedom on a daily works for Forex (investing company) where she is able to work from home and coach others who are interesting – building her team. Now, we must be smart about how we spend currencies. And, even smarter about how we make our money grow. What I’m getting at is, financial literacy is pivotal for a longtime, healthy lifestyle.
After having an amazing talk with Ms. Davis, I've come to understand a life to financial freedom:

€¢ How did you decide to work in this field?
Well, in 2015 I lend a large sum of money to a family member and I lacked knowledge on money management as I grew into adulthood. It affected my credit and feeling confident for my financial future because at the same time I was unhappy with the career I was in. I tried switching careers but it was so expensive. I came across an opportunity that offered financial literacy with a program to help improve my finances while earning an income helping others, and it’s been my mission ever since. I realized there was so many other like me that didn’t understand personal finance and money management or unhappy with the career they’re in or just unhappy with their finances and I wanted to help.

• What is a typical workday like for you?
Posting online, answering DMs, keeping up with my chats, keeping up with the news, answering about 7-15 calls a day, keeping track of my daily and weekly commissions, also keeping track of goals and budget. Then it also varies with coffee, seminars, networking event, or online webinars.

• What is a typical career path for someone in your line of work?
Starting this part time, while keeping their current line of work. You just have to start and be consistent, and surround yourself by those successful in that field, there is so much to learn from them.

...The interview went on to answer some amazing and helpful questions. Ms. Davis is definitely the person to connect with if you would like to start analyzing how to manage your monies better. Listen people! We are getting older, not younger; therefore, let's get wise and start applying knowledge. For applied knowledge is power! Contact Ms. Davis on Social Media NOW: Petula Davis!
