Bryant Speaks on Love Leadership, Operation HOPE and the what comes next post global economic crisis

These are busy times for Operation HOPE, Love Leadership (The New Way to Lead in a Fear-Based World) and the silver rights movement.  Given the state of our nation and our world, if our agenda is not going to be relevant now, it never will be.  Here is what's happening today and around the corner:

Bryant Provides Opening Lead Keynote Address for Citi-FT Global Financial Education Summit, Beijing, China

Last week I was extremely honored to travel, on behalf of my friends at Citi, to give the opening keynote address for the Citi-FT (Financial Times) Global Financial Education Summit in Beijing, China.  I provided the U.S. perspective on the global financial crisis, as well as a global perspective on how a new and more relevant era of financial literacy empowerment can help lead us out of the darkness of this generation, and into the bright, sustainable economic future for the next.

During this speech I also reframed my vision for financial literacy going forward, laying out my 8-point plan for practical finanical literacy empowerment.  Because of this, as well as the venue and audience, this is potentially one of my most important speeches ever.

Bryant Speaks Before Native American Indian Financial Education Coalition Policy Briefing on April 30 in Washington, DC

Last week I finally paid proper respect to both the Native American Indian community, as well as my Native American heritage. My mother shared with me that her grandparents were part Choctaw Indian, and thus, so was I. Empowering, and honored to be associated. This combined with my recent DNA test which showed by baseline lineage dates back to Cameroon, Africa, has answered a lot of questions for me, and fulled me with a great deal of pride.
