He's Got Next



                                         Eddie Compass IV hitting weights in NXG gear. 
          Before I got injured I use to run forever. After a year of rehabbing an injury from running I am ready to get back to it. I suddenly realized that I didn't fit in any of the work out clothes that I had. There I was in front of my closet saying "Great ! Now what?" I went online and started looking for something worth my money. I looked at all the major brands. I found their prices to be excessive and their clothes leaving something to be desired. My searching lead me to a dead end. All of these major retailers were more  worried about their image instead of mine.  I was so frustrated. That is when my friend me handed a pair of shorts received from the NXG. I was like Next Generation never heard of it. I figured it can't be any different than anything else. I was wrong.  It not only felt great in the gym but I also looked good in it. I didn't feel like I was wearing spandex underwear. 
     When I dug deeper I found  was support New Orleans through a young entrepreneur/businessman by the name  of Eddie Compass IV. It was to my greater surprise and pleasure to find that he was a good friend of Chris Ivory. Yeah that's right, New Orleans Saints running back Chris Ivory. I was like wow, everything this guy touches turns to gold. Compass keeps doing it big and one of his partners is Tracy Krohn. Tracy Krohn is among one of Forbes 400. Tracy is the CEO of Krohn Racing and W & T Offshore (WTI). NXG sponsors Chris Ivory and Krohn Racing , crazy. I am sure you'll see some of their gear in the upcoming NASCAR Rolex Series. I was equally pleased to find out the other day while I was doing the wash "Made in America" on the tag. That's where it's at. Next Generation is made in America! NXG isn't made in Malaysia, Taiwan or Jordan it's 100% home grown. I instantly knew as soon as I put on my NXG shorts they were more focused on me than looking cool. NXG's main concern is delivering a superior product. They don't want to rip you off for clothes that look like pajamas and cost like Armani suits. 
What lies beneath all the names and sponsors for Next Generation? NXG can be found at the intersection of fashion and function in performance wear. NXG isn't only concerned about the environment, but also the future of America's children. While the obesity of children in the US is hitting 1 out of every 3 children NXG is stepping up to do something about it. What could be better than promoting fashion and fitness with trainers across the nation for thousands of kids. If that wasn't enough they give part of their profits tChildren’s Hospital to go toward Cancer and Spinal Meningitis research. What could  make you feel  better than that?  Whether your coming out of the gym, pool or weight room you can be assured you will look as good as you feel. When you get a chance check out Next Generation and I'm positive you'll love what you see. I know personally that it's up to me to be that positive influence in and out of the gym for my kids. Right now it's up to me to make the best of today and tomorrow. It's my turn! I am the Next Generation! Are you? Come find out !

True New Orleans: Phyllis Montana-Leblanc

           It's rare that you meet someone who fits the saying "one of a kind".  I have to tell you that Phyllis Montana-Leblanc fits that saying to a tee.  Mrs. Leblanc was born December 24th 1963 and the world gained a woman worth having on it's shores. Phyllis has been through many struggles most of us only read about.She has been through a abusive relationship, drug use, racial discrimination,  and  Hurricane Katrina. Phyllis has never failed to shine through them all. Phyllis is proud to be called  a lifetime resident of New Orleans. She embodies the quintessential New Orleans  from the way she speaks, to how she  dresses and carries herself. Phyllis like New Orleans doesn't apologize for the way she is. She's one of the most upfront honest and kindest people you'll ever meet.  She was found by Spike Lee when he was looking for people for his two part documentary  When the Levees Broke . Mrs. Leblanc's unabashed willingness to tell it (Katrina a

A Interview with Ricky Gettridge: A New Orleans Treasure

  JC: How are you doing Ricky?  RG: Yeah,  ya know man I'm just glad to get my  feet on the ground.  Yeah, that was just a horrible experience man. JC: How did you end up in jail? RG: I went to register to vote and they said I had a warrant for my arrest in Jefferson Parish.  They told to go over this place here and next thing I know I'm being told I'm getting arrested for a warrant.  They didn't have no proper arrest or nothing, no Miranda rights or nothing.  They just swept me up like they was kidnapping me. JC: What you were thinking at that point? RG: Well, they brought me up to the arresting place and put me in central lock up. After that it seemed like I was gonna be there not to long so that I could see the judge. It wasn't gonna be too long cause I wasn't to far from the judge and all.  Well, they kept me in central lock up for 3 days. Then they sent me to the other jail to go to Jefferson parish jail.  After that it was another week

Expecting More

                             Vincent you're welcome in my house everyday     In an appalling show of ignorance last night Vincent Broussard was kicked out of his hotel. Oh, he must've been drunk right? No, well then he must have been acting the fool right? No, the only thing he was doing wrong was wearing his hair in dreads. He quietly and class-fully exited the The Stanford Court Renaissance San Francisco Hotel . Why was he in San Fransisco? The Rebirth Brass Band is there to perform at the Benbow Jazz Fest. Part of the money coming from that festival is to help the struggling San Fransisco economy. Vincent may not have raised his voice, I can and will. The following letter has been sent on my behalf for Vincent for this severe display of prejudice. I encourage you to do the same. Dear Bill Marriott,       My friend Vincent Broussard recently tired to stay at your hotel in San Fransisco. Much to my shock, dismay, and complete disgust you asked him to leave because of
