My name is Walter Hilliard III. I have a B.S. degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Psychology (specialty in Media Psychology). I’m currently seeking publishers for a book focusing on Black Self-Destruction and two inspirational eBooks, having already published a multitude of articles in several different newspapers and magazines over the years. I’ve been a head basketball coach on the high school and college level, and taught success classes at a private college, created numerous community and college programs focusing on leadership, mentoring, college awareness (for inner-city kids), and employment and training. And I have worked as an employment and training manager, family therapist, behavior specialist, college retention specialist, juvenile detention center treatment supervisor, and a contractor, facilitating relationship and marriage education groups for couples.
The purpose of Universal Soul Power is to confront negative media messages about African Americans, proliferate positive messages about the Black community, and inspire all those who are part of the universe, but especially African Americans, through my inspirational writings.
The truth is that most African Americans haven’t lost their Spiritual Souls, yet (although some of us behave like we’ve lost our minds), but we have lost our “Soul” — that NewRhythmandBluesyContemporaryHipHopSoul that allows us to be compassionate, productive leaders who recognize what really matters in life and live our lives beyond fad terms like “Swag,” instead embracing more fulfilling concepts like being Calm, Cool, and Collected, and knowing what they are all about: being your “growing self,” dancing to your own Life Drum, in tune, on beat, unfazed by fear, and leaving the world a better place when they move on.
Now dat’s Real Soul, and dat’s whatum talkin’ ’bout!

By Walter L. Hilliard - Yes, being gay trumps being Black in this country. America can accept homosexuality, embrace it, glamorize it – but when it comes to Black people, racism prevails. And even more disturbing, a lot of Black folks have bought into the "gay rights is Civil Rights" lies, too.
By Walter L. Hilliard III - Thus, it is not a coincidence that Oprah “Oblivious to Racism” Winfrey is good friends with the leading purveyors of Black pathology, those like Tyler Perry and Lee Daniels. And she coddles these men like babies and gives them more attention or national airtime than she does the poor Black kids who are victimized or murdering each other right down the street from her in Chicago.

By Walter L. Hilliard III - What Black man do you know that sits around like Barack Obama trying to push homosexuality onto his people? If you do know one, something's wrong with him. Genocide is real and has already arrived in your town.
By Walter L. Hilliard III - I also remember being a bit dumbfounded and in disbelief one day, sitting around the gym waiting for the next pick up game, when Andre casually mentions to me that several NFL teams were evaluating him.
By Walter L. Hilliard III - Iverson had the biggest competitive heart in the history of the game. I can remember how he even led his 76ers to the 2001 NBA Championship and a victory in Game One over the Shaquille O'Neal-Kobe Bryant-led Los Angeles Lakers, only to lose the next four games and the series.
By Walter L. Hilliard III - There should only be two kinds of Black people working on the American Employment Plantation: those Black folks planning to leave, and those leaving today.
