  • 2019 Small Business Scorecard
    2019 SMALL BUSINESS SCORECARD Introduction Elected officials everywhere tout their support of small businesses, but do they actually deliver? California is home to 4 million small and micro businesses, represented by 79 Assembly Members and 40 California State Senators. We decided to find out by looking at the voting records of California’s legislators when it comes to bills that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the small businesses that it serves. CAMEO’s policy positions derive from our work with our 240+ members that support underserved small business with loans and entrepreneurial training. We weigh in on legislation that will help these small and microbusinesses and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This first-ever scorecard for the 2019 legislative session looks at how the California Legislature performed in authoring, voting, and passing laws to promote and protect the interests of Calfiornia’s small and micro business owners. We compiled a narrow list of bills for the 2019 legislative session that we identified as important for micro and small businesses and/or the ecosystem that supports them. C A M E O N E T W O R K . O R G Examples include: AB 230 ensures Disabled Veterans Businesses are treated fairly in state contracts; AB 377 expands the cottage kitchen laws to include home cooked meals; AB 498 eliminates business license fees for veteran owned businesses; AB 857 will create a framework for public banking in California and expand community capital for locally owned businesses. We included committee votes, floor votes, authorships, co-sponsors and measured if a legislator voted in favor or against, as well as the No Vote Record (NVR).

  • Getting “Woke” with Each Joke: Black Comediennes and Representational Resistance on Youtube
    Getting “Woke” With Each Joke: Black Comediennes and Representational Resistance on YouTube by Shaunel London A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2019 Shaunel London i Abstract This research looks at the relationship between comedy, alternative media, and representations of Blackness. Using case studies Akilah Hughes and Franchesca Ramsey, two Black comediennes on YouTube, this thesis asks: how do Black women use both political comedy and alternative media to challenge the stereotypical and racialized representations of themselves in traditional media? A theoretical framework of critical race studies, post-colonialism, intersectional and Black feminisms, postmodernism, and theories of comedy in conjunction with the thematic qualitative text analysis of 30 YouTube videos were used to answer the question. My findings determined that Black women use political comedy and alternative media platforms to satirize oppressive and discriminatory ideologies and behaviours, framing instances of every day racism in absurd and exaggerated terms, which ultimately provides nuanced representations of Black womanhood that affirm the sexist, racist, and racially charged experiences and microaggressions that Black women endure on a daily basis. ii Acknowledgements Thanks be to God for Your mercies these past two years and to my family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and church family for their continued support. Merlyna, thank you for believing in me and believing in this project. It’s been an intense year for us, but I am so privileged to have made this journey with you. Your feedback has sought to make the best of my research and your jokes have made our meetings fun.

  • Mike Davis Biography
    MIKE DAVIS BIOGRAPHY Assemblyman Mike Davis was elected to serve the 48th Assembly District in 2006. Located in Los Angeles County, the 48th District is home to a myriad of diverse communities including: Arlington Park, Athens, Chesterfield Square, King Estates, Koreatown, Lafayette Park, Magnolia Square, North University Park, University Park, Vermont Knolls, West Adams, West Park Terrace and Wilshire Center. Prior to assuming office, Assemblyman Davis made an impact in the community after a notable career as a public servant at three levels of government. He served as a Senior Deputy Supervisor for Los Angeles County Supervisor Yvonne Brathwaite Burke. He also served as District Director for Congresswoman Maxine Waters during her tenure in the California State Assembly and continued to serve in this role when she was elected to Congress. A community activist, Assemblyman Davis believes that knowledge is priceless and encourages others to continue their education formally and informally throughout life. It was this belief that led Assemblyman Davis to create The Images of Blacks in America Symposium at UCLA; a conference for high school students and professionals. He helped coordinate the opening of the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center and fought to make sure that South Los Angeles residents got relocation benefits during the expansion of the Harbor Freeway, as District Director of the 48th Assembly District Office. Assemblyman Davis also helped to establish the Denzel Washington Pediatric Pavilion at Martin Luther King, Jr. Hospital and also fought for diversity among the construction staff at the King Hospital Trauma Center Construction site during the 1994 construction project while serving as Senior Deputy Supervisor for the Second District, Los Angeles County.
