NEW: Former Facebook diversity manager Barbara Furlow-Smiles who headed Facebook's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs has pleaded guilty to a kickback scheme where she raked in $4,000,000. How equitable of her! According to the Department of Justice, Furlow-Smiles used Facebook company credit cards to pay friends and family "for goods and services never provided to the company." The friends and family members would then send the money back to her. In a statement, US Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan said Furlow-Smiles "abused a position of a trust as a global diversity executive for Facebook to defraud the company of millions of dollars, ignoring the insidious consequences of undermining the importance of her DEI mission." Shocker!
This is a blockade set up by Jackson State's campus the day before election day. #stopvoterintimidation
Rep. Cockerham has ALWAYS fought for JSU and stands as one our strongest advocates in the state. This is not a political statement but a statement of fact based on having worked with her.
Rep. Angela Cockerham is a Jackson State graduate. Sis just switched her party from Democrat to Republican and endorsed Tate Reeves. She originally wrote the bill for JSU to receive an independent water system… mysteriously she hasn’t fought for it in the last 2 sessions.
The needs do remain - not just for JSU but for HBCUs in general - particularly those that are located in our urban centers.
