Jones G Martin

Gibson shows kids their future by introducing them to their past. In 2013, she founded Because Of Them We Can, a platform that teaches kids about the black excellence in history ― and in the present ― that they typically don’t learn about in school or in the media. Starting out as a photo series, Jones has been able to expand the brand by making facts about the giants of black history accessible for parents, educators and everyone else. She approaches the brand by doing things “the Woodson way,” looking to the father of Black History Month, Carter G. Woodson for inspiration. Gibson is reclaiming the limited narrative society has given black history by attacking revisionism head-on with facts that show our story is not monolithic.As a part of HuffPost Black Voices’ “We Built This” series, Gibson spoke to us about founding “Because Of Them We Can,” her new subscription box and the role education plays in showing black kids their potential.  What have you built?I built Because of Them We can, a platform and an ongoing campaign to highlight black history and excellence on a consistent basis. Because of Them We Can started as a photo series and grew. What was that idea, the inception, behind this and calling it Because of Them We Can?For so long we’ve said we stand on the shoulders of giants. To me, Because of Them We Can is a way to capture that sentiment and to make it real for anyone. It started with me as a mother of two black boys knowing they’ll grow to be black men and really wanting to create content and imagery that could surround them and help them to build their self-esteem by rooting it in their history and where they come from and the DNA that they are inextricably tied to and that there’s greatness in that DNA.There are so many things that have been erased from our history. What has been your experience in witnessing kids seeing these photos and these campaigns you’ve distributed with Because of Them We Can?Seeing the kids respond to ...

A Hat Trick is a great way to produce a ton of fantasy points. Of his 141 game sample, he has never had this many fantasy points. He does not play again until 2/20. Nikita Kucherov (TB 17 TOI, 2 G, 3 A, 5 SOG, 0 BS) needed 20.1 FPs too live up to his $9100 salary, and he went on to have 57 fantasy points. He was rated as a good 'B Value' by Sportsline. He averages 3.2 SOG per game which is 9% of his team's SOGs. He got 25% of the team's SOGs yesterday. He only averages 0.9 assists so his 3 assists were well above average. This is the most FanDuel points he has scored going back 156 games. His next game is today (TB@PHI) and his salary is $9.1K.

Semyon Varlamov (COL Win 40 SV, 0 GA, 100%) was priced at $7400 and based on the active 2/18 pool, he was worth $16090 more than his salary. The SportsLine Computer accurately predicted this performance and had Varlamov in its optimal lineup. He had a shutout with 40 saves. Clearly a great night for fantasy owners. He had 52 or more fantasy points in 1 of his previous 89 games (1%). His next game (WPG@COL) is on 2/20. Check out for updates, but our current projection is for him to have a below average game.

He got 8% of the team's SOGs yesterday. A Hat Trick is a great way to produce a ton of fantasy points. His 40.8 fantasy points is a value he has reached just 1 of his previous 97 games (1%).
