Facebook Group Grows To Over 20,000 Members In Less Than A Week
By Cheval John
As the people of the Eastern Caribbean, United States Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Mexico, India, Houston and Florida recover from the weathers disasters, they need to know everyone cares for them.
With social media, people can keep track of what is happening in those affected areas from the United States mainland.
An example comes from a Facebook Group who grew to over 20,000 members in less than a week.
This group is called “St Croix Hurricane Maria Check In”
It was created after Hurricane Maria hit St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands on Tuesday before moving on to Puerto Rico the following day.
Their fellow United States Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. John, in addition to the British Virgin Islands and the Eastern Caribbean, were hit by Hurricane Irma two weeks prior.
St. Croix and Puerto Rico were used as base to sent rescue workers and supplies in the relief efforts to the devastated places until Hurricane Maria interrupted those plans
St. Croix Hurricane Maria Check became a resource for many to get in contact with family members and friends.
It also is a place where many can find out which relief organizations they can support to help those in the United States Virgin Islands to get back to normal.
This is the true power of social media: building communities.
Here are additional organizations which are helping to get supplies to each of the places who are currently recovering from the natural disasters:
Puerto Rico- City of New York Website
Mexico- UNICEF USA For Mexico
United States Virgin Islands- 21 U.S. Virgin Island Help
Houston- ABC13Houston.com
For anyone who knows of relief organizations for help to Mumbai, India and the U.S. state of Florida, please leave a comment below.
Codie Sanchez: Former Journalist Who Become an Investor
By Cheval John
Codie Sanchez is not your typical entrepreneur.
She is also the Head of Latin America and Offshore Sales for First Trust, a firm that helps people to reach their investment goals.
Codie recently made an appearance on my show, What’s The Word? to share about how she decided to become an entrepreneur.
In this episode, you will also hear:
What led her to make the transition from a journalist to an investor
How she balances her time between running her own business and being an investor.
How social media plays into her daily life.
You will also hear me speak Spanish in this interview as I allow people who are broadcasters, podcasters, television journalist, or the former to ask me a question on the show.
I will add that Codie, who speaks three languages, demonstrates the importance of knowing a second or third language because it allows her to do well in business and understand her fellow colleagues’ cultural norms in the process.
Hope you enjoy this episode.

Most of us who live in the Houston area had to prepare for hurricane harvey,
