Water Safety & Water Related Deaths/Dispelling the Myths of Crypto Currency

Black People have the Highest Percentage of Water Related Deaths/Dispelling the Myths of Crypto Currency: We’re deep into the summer months and it’s necessary that we highlight swim safety. In the first hour we spoke with aquatic gurus, Niecy D and Arkeisha Reese about the importance of knowing how to swim. Florida is ranked #1 with drownings, and the rate is very high in Orange County specifically. Niecy D emphasizes that there are many reachable programs that offer swim lessons and it should be mandatory to know how to properly swim at all ages. There are many ways to help within the aquatics sector, from coaching to professional swimming to lifeguarding. Our guest Arkeisha Reese shares her story of losing her son through water safety speeches and bringing awareness. She hosts an annual gala to raise money for swim vouchers that are available for various locations. Connect with her at [email protected] FB:teamKareem memorial foundation.

Jay Hicks speaks to dispel the many myths behind crypto currency. Cryptocurrency is a digital currency that uses blockchain technology to function as a virtual accounting system and alternative to online payments. Bitcoin, the first decentralized cryptocurrency, was created to stop the instance of “double-spending” and verify transactions. Blockchain is a digital ledger that keeps track of all transactions that happen with the coin and cannot be tampered. The focus of crypto-currency is “capped” money, a verified medium of exchange of currency. Connect with Jay on Insagram: @CryptoJay313
