Our Authors Study Club (OASC) proudly presents Dr. Donna J. Nicol, acclaimed author of "Black Woman on Board," as the next featured guest in the  "OASC at the Bilbrew" author talk series. This enlightening event will take place on Saturday, August 10 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the A.C. Bilbrew Library, 150 150 E El Segundo Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90061.

Event Highlights

• Free admission, but space is limited 
• Light brunch provided
• Book signing opportunity (books will be available for purchase)
• Moderated discussion by Dr. Anthony Asadullah Samad, Executive Director of the Mervyn Dymally African American Political and Economic Institute (MDAAPEI) at California State University, Dominguez Hills

Dr. Nicol, Associate Dean of Personnel and Curriculum in the College of Liberal Arts and professor of history at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), will offer attendees a rare glimpse into the university boardroom. Her groundbreaking book, "Black Woman on Board: Claudia Hampton, the California State University, and the Fight to Save Affirmative Action," uncovers and explores the crucial role Black women educational leaders have played in advancing access and equity in higher education and in a broader context for all.

The presentation will focus on Dr. Claudia H. Hampton, the first Black woman trustee and later the first woman chair of the California State University (CSU) system board. Dr. Nicol will delve into Hampton's twenty-year fight (1974–94) to increase access for historically marginalized and underrepresented groups within the CSU system, highlighting how Hampton navigated white backlash against changes brought on by the civil rights and black power movements of the 1960s.

In an era where Vice President Kamala Harris stands as a presumptive presidential nominee, Dr. Nicol's work gains even greater relevance. The story of Dr. Claudia Hampton's pioneering role in the CSU system parallels the path of trailblazers like Harris, who have broken barriers in the highest echelons of government. This event offers a unique opportunity to explore the historical context that has paved the way for today's Black women leaders.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the historical precedents that have shaped the current political landscape, making this event particularly timely and relevant in light of Vice President Harris's groundbreaking career. "As we witness history in the making with Vice President Harris's potential presidential nomination, understanding the legacy of Black women's leadership in education becomes crucial," said Lura Ball, President of OASC. "The strategies and resilience demonstrated by leaders like Dr. Hampton have direct implications for how we view and support Black women in positions of power today."

This occasion promises to be an inspiring event with an insightful discussion moderated by Dr. Anthony Asadullah Samad, Executive Director of the Mervyn Dymally African American Political and Economic Institute (MDAAPEI) on the campus of California State University, Dominguez Hills. Subjects that include the intersection of race, gender, and power in higher education are certain to be lively topics.

OASC believes that there is a clear connection between the historical narrative presented in Dr. Nicol's work and the current political climate. This alone provides a compelling reason for people to attend the event. That narrative frames the discussion within a broader context of Black women's leadership and progress in America. "We invite everyone to join us in learning about the women who created tools to shatter glass ceilings," added Ball.

Admission is free to the public. However, space is limited. For more information about this and other OASC programs log on to www.oascla.org.

Autastic proudly announces the August 1 launch of “#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity”. Each six-week virtual experience connects and empowers Black adults, filling the services gap after learning they are autistic.

"There’s been absolutely nothing out there for the millions of adults learning they’re autistic in their twenties, thirties, fifties, and beyond. We’re overlooked in research, in services and support, in policy, everywhere. I’m working to change that, starting with the Black community," says facilitator Diane J. Wright, the first Ford School Hawkins Family Disability Policy Fellow with the Center for Racial Justice at the University of Michigan and founder of Autastic.

Autastic provides resources and community to adult-identified autistic historically racialized and marginalized peoples (BIPOC). The “#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity” experience was developed in consultation with African American mental health professionals, community leaders, and input from Autastic’s communities of over 15,000 late-identified autistic adults.

The program is supported by funding from Jimmy Kimmel and Mark Rober’s 2021 “Color The Spectrum” fundraiser which raised over 3 million dollars in partnership with NEXT for AUTISM as well as support from The Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN).

Key Highlights

• Developed by and for Black autistic adults: Developed with lived experience at its core, this program is facilitated and produced exclusively by Black autistic adults.
• Culturally relevant resources: Offers rare resources and information specific to members of the African diaspora.
• Peer access: Reducing isolation and stigma by facilitating connection with peers inside The Autastic Community—a unique, private social network exclusively for adult-identified autistic people and focusing on BIPOC.
• Fee-free: Lowering barriers to resource and peer access, participation in "#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity" is offered at no cost. Program cycles will run until funding is depleted.

"#AutisticWhileBlack: Exploring Identity" offers structured activities and 90-minute live virtual group sessions as well as a private conversation space for socializing and working through course material. Participants gain resources, peer connections, and new perspectives on autistic life, along with an action plan for rebuilding neurodivergence-centered lives.

Battery Mineral Resources Corp. (TSXV: BMR) (OTCQB: BTRMF) (“Battery” or “BMR” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce first shipments of copper concentrates related to the Offtake Agreement (or the "Agreement") with Anglo American Sur. S.A. (“Anglo” or “Anglo American”) a division of Anglo American plc.

The Company has supplied 503.74 dry metric tonnes (“DMT”) of copper concentrates to Anglo’s Chagres smelter in Catemu, Chile. The copper concentrates were produced from copper smelting by-products (slags) supplied to BMR by Anglo. The copper concentrates were produced at BMR’s Punitaqui copper flotation plant and contained 25.98 percent copper, for approximately 288,500 pounds of copper in concentrate.

The Company will continue to increase production results with a goal of producing approximately 1,400 DMT per month in the near term and reaching up to 2,800 DMT of copper concentrate production per month by year-end.

Martin Kostuik, CEO, stated, "This initial copper concentrate shipment marks a significant stride towards positive cash flow, in line with Battery's goal of building a mid-tier copper producer. As we generate cash flow from copper sales, including leveraging thirty-party sources of mill feed such as those from Anglo, we will also continue to ramp up mine-sourced mill feed from our Cinabrio, San Andres, and Dalmacia mines to achieve full production."

The Company recently initiated copper concentrate production on May 13th, 2024 after the successful commissioning of the recently refurbished and upgraded mineral processing facility at Punitaqui. Mining activities to establish access to the mineralized zones in both Cinabrio and San Andres continue to ramp up and provide and increasing amount of stockpiles containing fresh mill feed. Cinabrio is the original mine that supplied feed for the first 10 years of prior operations, primarily operated by Glencore plc.

About Battery Mineral Resources Corp.

Battery Mineral Resources’ mission is to build a mid-tier copper producer and it has recently initiated mine and mill operations at the Punitaqui Mining Complex, a historic copper-gold-silver producer, in the Coquimbo region of Chile. Battery Mineral Resources is unique because it leverages the inherent value from its 100% owned subsidiary, ESI Energy Services Inc., a renewable energy equipment rental and sales company. The Company’s portfolio also consists of two cobalt assets and one graphite asset located in North America, South America and South Korea. The Company is focused on providing shareholders accretive exposure to copper and the global mega-trend of electrification while being focused on growth through cash-flow, exploration, and acquisitions in favorable mining jurisdictions.
