Legacy...
Jimmi Love has used his platform in the philanthropic support of others. He has spent his life creating equitable solutions for those in need – whether feeding the houseless, supporting disaster victims or cancer treatment, he has spearheaded many charitable causes. From lobbying for fair housing to establishing training programs for at-risk clientele, Jim has used his intellect as well as assembling resources in the aid of others. Below, one can see a few of the programs with which he was involved:
A.G.A.P.E. (Acts of Goodwill Advancing Planet Earth) in Action...
You can make a difference...
Jimmi Love, along with singers Nazley Young, Dominique Balaton and Tiffany Schweitzer, co-founded a German gospel choir, Harlem Praise Family Europe’ ‚HPF’ (of which he is also the choir leader and its musical director). Harlem Praise Family has made quite a difference in the world! Feeding, educating and blessing people ⎯ all over the earth, and beyond… HPF was the first ‚Gospel’ choir to be invited to the annual birthday celebration of the Dalai Lama in Tibet for his 77th birthday July 7th, 2012. This was/is truly a great honor and was also seen by more than 1,5 billion people around the world. Harlem Praise Family was also one of the components of a ground-breaking show ‘Rock-N-Hallelujah’ (created by Jimmi Love along with David Hanselmann and R.I.S.K.)
Legacy... in written form.
“He who does not read books has no advantage over those who can not read them“. Mark Twain.
Lliving life quantum is using your existence to make change. Being the impetus for that change helps define that existence. Our actions today plant seeds for the future. What we do echoes in eternity. That is why Jimmi Love has also written books. His books mainly concentrate on learning and self-help. From ‘How to Perform Like A Star’ to ‘Atlas Pop‘, with a dose of ‘Life Pimpin’ For Dummies‘, he shares his life with all who will read. He is most proud of ‘A Black Thread’ – a serious Black Ourstory book.
THE ART OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION
A step by step guide to creating a platform that allows the flow of proper communication. This is a simple book about a seemingly simple subject – with a simple solution.
LIFE PIMPIN’ FOR DUMMIES
Until recently, the word ‘PIMP’ has had extreme negative connotations. The best-known definition referred to the employer of the world’s oldest employees.
The new meaning of the word has emerged in the form of a transitive verb which means “to decorate” or “to gussy”, or, for our purposes to add “glam”. Herein one can find a few ways to improve her, or his life.
HOW TO PERFORM LIKE A STAR
Gathering information from some of the best speakers, actors, singers and musicians in the world, Jimmi Love consolidates this world-class knowledge into this book. From how to prepare, to knowing stage positions & presentation – almost everything one needs to better themselves and their performance, can be found here.
This is a must-have book for any media professional – including: speakers, performers, thespians or musician
A BLACK THREAD
This is Black OURstory…
As with many fabrics, the quality is in the stitching. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “Invisible threads are the strongest ties.” Jimmi Love writes that “when the thread is revealed, it can be followed to where that garment began…” So it is with history – specifically, history that has been discarded or lost. A BLACK THREAD attempts to find those lost fibers.
ATLAS POP
The Show still goes on…
Atlas Pop is a journey into a not-so-ridiculous fantasy future. It is a possible scenario – based on a resulting current trend. It is based on Atlas Shrugged. The principle that drives these characters is wealth and knowledge thereof. Humanity takes a back seat.
The James Preston Poindexter Foundation (JPPF),
in collaboration with Ohio History Connection (OHC), The Smithsonian, and the City of Columbus, is dedicated to establishing the Poindexter Village Museum and Cultural Center in Columbus, Ohio. This initiative will honor and preserve the rich history of African American experiences in the Poindexter Village neighborhood and beyond.
With help from the James Preston Poindexter Foundation & The Ohio History Connection, the site will be turned into a museum and cultural learning center. It will showcase the rich untold story of an African American experience in its neighborhood and beyond in order to nurture, understanding, inspire success, inform action and empower future generations to build the strong, vibrant and just community they want to live in. The center’s objectives include nurturing understanding, inspiring success, informing action, and empowering future generations.
Poindexter Village was named in honor of Columbus, Ohio, community leader, Rev. James Poindexter, and, was dedicated by President Franklin Roosevelt on Oct. 12, 1940 as one of the nation’s first public housing projects. This community represents the birth and history of public housing in this country and reflects Ohio’s place in the national story of the Great Migration.
Here’s the kicker – Jimmi Love was not only born there, but actually lived in one of the apartments that will be a part of this wonderful museum. Talk about coming full circle!
